When non-dual wisdom dawns, than the universe [duality] becomes mere mirage created
out of consciousness. The duality is
present only when the universe is present.
If the universe is mere mirage than the duality also is mere
mirage. Thus all the illusory bonds of
duality brakes and the ‘self’ is liberated from the clutches of duality which
was experienced as reality. Same way as dream becomes unreal when waking takes
place the duality becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.
Many think
that it is worthwhile to acquire the miraculous powers through practice of yoga
and mystism which in turn help him to create whatever they want wants in
practical life.
When the waking experience
itself is an illusion than what is the use of miracles performed within the
illusory experience. Whatever is based and performed on the base of ego is
bound to be part of the falsehood. Hence miracles are part and parcel of
illusion.
Those who are weeded to philosophical and scriptural
knowledge will permanently remain in illusion believing their philosophical
knowledge as real wealth.
Until and unless they make sure 'I' is not self and world
is unreal through deeper self-search they are bound to believe their
intellectual accumulated knowledge as wisdom. The wisdom is knowledge of the
reality which is beyond the form, time and space.
Philosophical
and scriptural knowledge which are based on ego as self are not useful in
pursuit of truth
People indulge in prayers asking god ‘God give me this, give me that,
and save me.' They are seeking in prayer is not God, what they are seeking is
security and happiness. Ultimately what they want with prayer is their
wellbeing not truth; they are not willing to admit it.
The first step is to know the true self is not ‘I’ but the witness of
the ‘I’, which is the formless soul, and then only it is possible to cross the
threshold of limitations /duality mind.
If one sincerely looks at his deepest motivation for religion, he will see he has never aspired for the truth/self. His aspiration was never for the ultimate. His aspiration is for comfort, for wealth, for power, pleasure. Everyone thinks God is a tool to achieve all those things. When he is seeking protection or materialist things, greed and fear have become the basis of his prayer and attachment to the personal god.
Ordinarily, one thinks prayer is a means to reach God, but what does he
really know about God? If we are truthful, he must admit he have no direct
experience of God; he is coming from a particular belief system. The danger in
using prayer to reach a God, he has no direct experience of, can be
illusionary. Thoughts and prayer can open a person but at the same time they
can create hallucinations.
It is time that one to realize the fact that, looking to God will not
help until he looks at his own ignorance. God cannot exist without man. Man
cannot exist without the soul. Thus man and his belief of god are dependent on
the soul. The personal god can exist
only in experience of duality [waking/dream].
When the duality is mere illusion on the standpoint of the soul which is
the true self, then whatever experienced as reality within the duality is mere
illusion.
The soul is inherent in everything and everywhere in the three states.
Therefore the duality [‘I’/waking/dream] rises and subsides in the soul. Thus the permanent is the soul/ self and the
three states are impermanent. The impermanent is illusion on the standpoint of
the soul/self.
Theory
of Creator and creation is religious fable. Idea of creator and creation is
possible only in duality. Duality is mere illusion from ultimate
standpoint. In non-dual reality there is
neither creation nor creator. Cause and effect theory holds good only when the
judgment and reason is based on the base of the false self within the false
experience.
If there
is a watch then there has to be a watch maker, therefore if there is creation
there has to be a creator. If this is
so, than who is the creator of that creator. It is never ending thought process
and it is impossible to find answer and to reach any conclusion and reach
ultimate end. Such dualistic theories
are imagined theories holding the false self as real self and false experience
as reality. Therefore there is a need to first to make sure whether the self is
form or self is formless before accepting any theories. All this religious
theories can only satisfy those who are not interested in knowing the truth of
their true existence but who are immersed in the practical life by accepting
the practical world as reality. Orthodox classes are the prisoners of
theoretical teachings and theoretical philosophy who stay like frog in the pond
and lock themselves egocentric prison.
Until
they drop all this priest oriented baggage it is impossible to reach the
ultimate end of understanding. Without reaching the ultimate end
Self–Realization is impossible. By surrendering to any physical guru and
indulging in his service, by following his instruction will not lead the seeker
to the inner path. The mantra, tantra and yantra are not the means for
self-knowledge.
The hallucination created by
religion such as god, heaven, hell, karma, sin when they start growing; they
take on such a big dimension. The cinema is more powerful than real life, given
that one can just exaggerate it the way he want it. When the illusory process
gets exaggerated, it becomes more powerful than life. That is why seeker of
truth stays away from belief system. Inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the
base of the soul as self is reliable method to reach the realm of the soul,
which is ultimate reality.
From
ultimate standpoint there is nothing exist other than consciousness. The
universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness; therefore its contents
are also consciousness. Thus the individual experience of the birth, life,
death and the world are part of the mirage.
Thus the mirage which appears as universe is created out of
consciousness.
People
who believe god as creator are deluded because they are unaware of the fact
that, the self is not the form but self is formless consciousness. They will
not be able to accept anything other than their practical experience in this
practical world. Therefore, people who
are deep rooted conviction of their belief system are not qualified for pursuit
of truth. And seeker of truth should avoid discussion religious minded
people.
Without knowing
the true self is not ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ non dual realization is a distant dream. One
who is stuck with his inherited conditioning and accumulated knowledge from
what he has heard or read and assimilated and accepted them as truth, is not
receptive to assimilate self-knowledge.
Seeker
has to verify on every angle through deeper self-search and accept only
un-contradicted truth. The spiritual truth cannot be contradicted. Religious
truth is not universal.
Idea of
God as a creator holds good theoretically. God and
guru glorification is not needed but intense urge and receptiveness is needed
in pursuit of truth. Seeker has to get rid of all his remove all the doubts and
confusion with deeper self-search.
To acquire self-knowledge, it is very much necessary for
the seeker has to be free from all sorts of egocentric knowledge such as
religious and yogic or any sort of philosophical knowledge.
The self
is neither the waking entity nor it is the dream entity but is the formless
substance and witness of the three states. All the three states are mere mirage
created out of consciousness. Consciousness is the formless substance and
witness of the three states. The substance witness are one in essence,
therefore there is no second thing exists other than consciousness.
