The ignorant regards consciousness or Brahman as an object, this is his mistake. Consciousness or Brahman is not to be got as a second thing because it is unchangeable.




Yogic Samadhi is not wisdom. Samadhi is same as deep sleep. A Gnani knows the whole universe is consciousness, which is ultimate truth or Brahman; he has no need to seek liberation. 

A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that, the ego belongs to waking or dream. The waking or dream is mere mirage created out of consciousness, which is the inner most self.    Thus whatever is seen, known, believed and experienced as person of the world within the waking is falsehood same way as the dream.   Thus the formless substance witness of the falsehood is consciousness. The substance and witness of the falsehood are one in essence. That essence is formless consciousness.  Thus the experience of diversity is created out of single formless stuff. Tracing the stuff mentally and realizing it alone is real and all else an illusion brings unity in diversity.  

What is the use of renouncing worldly life within the unreal world and become sanyasi.  The Gurudom is meant to guide the people of the practical world to be and behave to live with religious code of conduct and create peace, love and harmony in the society.  By taking sanyasa the ignorance will not vanish.  By roaming one place to another, one guru to another, one ashram to another the non-dual wisdom will not dawn because belief system is based on the false self and it holds illusory universe as reality.   In religion one gets freedom or moksha only after he reaches heaven after his physical death. A Gnani gets freedom right here and right now  by realizing the self is birth-less and deathless in the midst of waking experience.  

A Gnani does not exert himself to be either meditative or active; but he becomes meditative and active without any motive because he is fully aware all actions are part of the illusion created out of consciousness, which is the inner most self. 

A Gnani knows the waking also as consciousness, dream also as consciousness and deep sleep also as consciousness.  Therefore he a Gnani leads the practical life within the practical world like any other householder but dully aware of the illusory nature of the three states. 

 The worldly person who thinks his physical existence as reality becomes bewildered on hearing the real truth but the wise one withdraws himself form perverted argument based on the false self.  

There is no use of arguing with the people who are based on  logic and intellectuality  because they are egocentric, which leads quarrelsome disputes, which has no value in the realm of truth. The truth will revel only on the base of soul- centric reasoning.   

Most people pretend to know the truth but they know nothing other than the bookish knowledge and start arguing on their own standpoint without verification.  It is impossible to convince the people who are the masters of accumulated knowledge, which has very little value in pursuit of truth.  They lack the capacity to grasp because they are not ready yet for the pursuit of truth. 

A Gnani recognizes the serious seeker and try to guide them sowing the seed of non-duality and allow it to grow subconsciously.  

The ignorant constantly practices concentration and control of mind. The Gnani, abiding in the real self, is like person in deep sleep; do not find anything to be done because he is full aware of the fact that his body and universe are one in essence.  The essence is formless consciousness. Consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman. 

Yoga is good for the practical life but it is not the means for self-realization. People who lack the power to understand assimilate non-dual truth for them yoga is very useful.  The ignorant does not attain truth by inaction by observing silence or by using language without the words or by action indulging in hata yoga or meditation or regulating the breath or by performing religious rites and ceremonies or service to humanity.  The inaction also is an action. Action and in action are part of the duality and duality is not reality.

The ignorant person peace is temporary and it is like play of hide and seek.  Thus by action or inaction non-dual peace cannot be gained.  The Gnani is peaceful in the midst of all activities.   Gnani sees no multiplicity even in the midst of multiplicity because he sees only unity in multiplicity.

People who shut themselves in cave or ashram are still stuck in glorifying god and gurus and performing religious rituals do not attain ultimate truth or Brahman because they have chosen the path of ignorance. Those who devote themselves to diverse religious and yogic practices do not know the innermost self is ultimate truth or Brahman or god, which is beyond the universe or mind and form, time and space.    

The innermost self is nearest perfect and everything is included in it.  The people who are immersed in orthodoxy are unaware of the fact that, their religious and yogic practices are not meant for self-realization, which is prime goal of every human being according to their own scriptures.  The innermost self, which is their true identity, is pure, formless, capable of knowing perfect, devoid of characteristics of universe of manifoldness and free from duality or diversity.  

The ignorant person does not attain liberation through repeated practice of control of mind or any type of Kriya yoga. The ignorant does not attain liberation with repeated practice which is physical activity because he is working with his body or ego as self, which is the false self within the false experience. Any practice practiced on the base of body or ego as self cannot get liberation because Gnana or wisdom arises from deeper thinking and perfect reasoning on true base.  Thus it is only through   the mental [inner]   journey   the wisdom dawns.    A Gnani through mere self- knowledge becomes free from experiencing the illusion as reality in the midst of illusion.   The ignorant does not attain the ultimate truth or Brahman, for he desires to become Brahman as a person. A Gnani certainly realizes the nature of the true self or formless consciousness or Brahman even without desiring it. 

The ignorant regards consciousness or Brahman as an object, this is his mistake. Consciousness or Brahman is not to be got as a second thing because it is unchangeable. 

All the dream activities are happening within the dream. The senses of form, time and space of the dream are reality within the dream. The experience of birth, life, death and the world of the dream are reality within the dream.   The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly the waking experience also is as unreal as dream. The waking experience is parallel dream and dream is parallel waking experience.   The one which knows the coming and going of this waking or dream is formless and apart.  Thus the seeker has to become aware of the existence of the formless witness of the waking or dream mentally, and cling to it mentally, and drop the waking or dream mentally.
