Where there is no experience, no thought, no other being, no thinking, no second thing; that is non duality



The Atamic Awareness or self- awareness  play hide and seek  . However, this hide and seek of self awareness gradually becomes stable and a steady.  Zen Satori is not the same, because based on intuition, and hence not proved by reason and therefore open to each man's misinterpretations. This illumination comes only after constant and frequent reflection, deeper thinking; hence the futility of Yoga to achieve it. Even the first single flash of understanding is true Atamic Awareness (Non dual Wisdom), but it has passed away, and one must seek its repetition constantly by such reflection until the Atamic Awareness stays fixed and does not depart.

Even after the first illumination, one will never be mistaken again for he will understand the true nature of the mind; although the permanent conviction may have to be established when he imagine Atman, there is both imagination and him--a duality. Thus he only gets a thought in return--no more.


 One must keep a line the insight no matter what he is doing. This demands constant concentration throughout the day--not merely sitting to meditate for half hour. This flash is an absence of thought, like conscious sleep, where duality disappears. The first flash is the beginning of realization and gradually ripens into full realization. The process is to associate the insight gained by the first flash with everything that he does—routine physical actions,--with Atman until it becomes settled realization. One has to repeat what he saw in the first flash by associating it at every moment henceforth--"This is Atman that is Atman, everything is Atman that is the body including the world." 

Non duality ascertained by reason or after deeper-self search  is alone Truth; and not the non duality which one get through deep sleep, Anastasia, yogic samadhi etc. The non-duality must be perceived in the waking experience; by a sharpness of reason, of thinking--that moment in the waking experience in which one knows that the three states, waking dream and deep sleep are only states, which comes and goes, it is knowledge.

 By non-duality means, even when there is duality, to know that there is only one thing, Atman, in waking experience, after deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base. 

In non-dual wisdom there is no second thing to be in touch with. One finds unity in diversity in the midst of experience of diversity.  If one realizes soul is the true self he will know that there is no other to be in contact with. --If he knows soul is the true self, he knows it is Atman/spirit. All other systems deal with duality. 

One must eliminate the three state mentally until he is establishes himself in the soul or consciousness, the innermost self. Seeking yoga is the practice of imaginary self, not seeking the true Atman or soul, the innermost self. 

Liberation is not something to be got after death; it means liberation from ignorance whilst alive and freedom from experiencing duality as reality.   

Truth is where no human mind can ever think of contradicting not merely his mind alone; where there is no experience, no thought, no other being, no thinking, no second thing; that is non duality, by realizing everything has erupted out of single substance which is the formless soul, the innermost self. There is nothing to be said about it; not even that one exists there, not even that happiness and peace are there, because one becomes consciously aware of the non dual nature of the mind in the midst of duality,   that everything is erupted out of soul therefore everything is soul,which is in the form of conciousness.
