Some find the Path of Gnana is difficult because they have not acquired necessary competence for it.



Some find the Path of Gnana is difficult because they have not acquired necessary competence for it. Without rectifying the reasoning  base from ego (form) base to soul (formless base) base, it is not possible to acquire self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana  or  Atma Gnana.  Therefore, it is necessary to mentally  rectify  reasoning by realizing the fact that self is not the form(ego) but self is formless(soul or consciousness).  one has to make sure the existence of the formless witness of the three states  by analyzing the three states. the formless witness ,which is soul or consciousness is within the three states but it is apart from the three states.  it is within the three states as their formless substance and it is apart from the three states as their formless witness.

By reflecting constantly on the formless witness of the three states, seeker becomes aware of the fact that the three states are unreal and the formless substance, and the witness of the three states, which is the soul or consciousness, is real. 

the soul or consciousness can remain with or without the waking or dream(duality). when it is without the waking and dream, the witness will remain in its formless non-dual true nature, which is identified as deep sleep on the physical base or ego.  Thus, the ego is the cause of the ignorance. In reality the the formless witness and the three states are one in essence. therefore in reality no second thing exists other than consciousness.  thus consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman. 

 Until one views, judges and concludes the three states  on the base of ego he will not be able to assimilate the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  
The Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is –Self-Release. Due to ignorance caused by the ego, one imagines self is bound, and makes various and strenuous attempt to become free, whereas the soul or consciousness , the innermost self is ever free. 

The non-dual true nature of the soul, the innermost  self can be regained only through Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  The self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana can be gained, only when one realizes the fact that, the three states, which appear and disappear, are unreal and the formless substance and witness of the three states, which is the soul or consciousness, is real and eternal.  Whatever is real and eternal is ultimate truth or Brahman.
