He who has realized the ultimate truth or Brahman transcends the duality or mind where he sees no second thing other than consciousness. Yogi who sees the universe as reality may try to deny it because he thinks thoughtlessness is Brahman. The yogi sees the universe as a second thing and he wants to banish the universe in Samadhi because he does not know that in non-duality there is no need to deny the universe. But he has to realize the fact that, the universe is not something different from the self, which consciousness. Those who cannot grasp and realize this position, misunderstand it, and wrongly hold it be yogic Samadhi where there is only blankness.
The presence of the universe is no obstacle to Gnani‘s realization; he does not need yogic Samadhi. But yogi has imagined Brahman as blankness or thoughtlessness thus he is still in the grip of duality. Thus, the Yogis Brahman is but a thought. Brahman is not a thought but Brahman is prior to any mind or universe. Thus, one has to know what is prior to waking experience.
The yogi who wrongly thinks there is Brahman to be got ,may attempt to do so, and may think he sees it, but all the time he under the delusion of duality because he bases his- self on physical body, thinking Brahman to be something different from the soul, which is the true self.
When one becomes aware of the fact all the experiences of the three states and all the thoughts and words are Mind and the mind, in turn, is consciousness then he has transcended thinking faculty.
If one is seeking truth but practicing yoga or Kundalini or any other practice for long years and finding them inadequate and useless quenching his inner thirst has to drop them by realizing they are only useful in preparatory stages to make them more receptive to grasp the ultimate truth and they cannot transport them to the ultimate end.
Seeker has to follow up his deeper self-search and get rid of the inborn samskara or conditioning, which is present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’. There is no need of buying reading material or hearing the sermons and running to one place to another or one guru to another or surrendering to any guru or glorifying any guru in order to acquire self-knowledge.
In success or failure or gain or loss, in society or in solitude there is no difference to the Gnani because for him everything is an illusion created out of consciousness.
Where is the performance of ritualistic or meritorious work, where is worldly wealth, where is the sense of enjoyment or discrimination has no significance for the Gnani who has transcended such dual notions such as ‘this is to be done and this no to be done.
The one who risen to Gnana is liberated from experiencing the birth, life, death and the world as reality while living in the midst of world before his physical death.
There is no delusion, there is no universe there is no need of renunciation or meditation there is no desire for liberation for the Gnani who is resting in consciousness by realizing everything is consciousness and no second thing exists other than consciousness.
What is the state of the ego or physical self when it has realized that the self is not the body? Such souls have attained their pristine condition. “Self” is not visible to the physical eyes. “Self” is not to be found in the world as a thing, entity or an object. Self is above these, has neither beginning nor ending.
A visible object has a beginning and an ending. Since the soul, which is in the form of consciousness is invisible to the physical eye; soul or consciousness is without beginning and ending. The Soul is always constant. Just as space is homogeneous everywhere, so is the consciousness is the same everywhere.
There is no need to renounce anything within the illusion because as it has appeared it disappears when the wisdom dawns in the midst of waking experience or on its own as in deep sleep or in death. The nature of the self is not something to be acquired by effort and its characteristics are to be free from misery and happiness inseparable from it.
