Since the seed
does not contain anything other than the seed, even the flowers and the fruits
are of the same nature as the seed: the substance of the seed is the substance
of subsequent effects, too. Even so, the three states do not give rise to
anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realized, duality
ceases.
He who knows the fact
that, the soul as the true Self breaks through the belief that, the self is the
body and the world as reality. Such a one is united with the soul, which is
ultimate truth. The one who thinks he is born in this world and the world
existed prior to him will not be able to grasp and realize the non-dual truth.
By rectifying the
reasoning base from form to formless, one will reach the state of unity from experience
of diversity.
Ultimate Truth cannot be found in
Books. Ultimate can be only found through soul-centric reasoning. People
gradually realize the fact that, the belief system is not the means to
Self-Realization but it is an obstacle in realizing the true Self. Many
Spiritual seekers are now more curious about realization of Truth but
unfortunately they throng to Books, Not to inquire.
Many sounds a strong convictioned and their knowledge is based only on Books and others opinions. They support their arguments with References from philosophical books or scriptures. Seeker has Just Remember for every strong argument there will be a counter argument. The truth is always based on the formless; therefore what is the use of arguing on the form base, which is the cause of ignorance. In ignorance one ignores the Truth itself.
Those who get involved in Theological debates, which are based on the form as self, will get only hallucinated realization based on speculation.
Many people think and discuss on the
authors of the books or gurus. As seekers of truth one has to know where the
author or guru has got stuck in assimilating the self-knowledge for their own
research. There is no need to criticize authors and gurus. If one bases his
reasoning on the soul as self he will know how far they have reached in their
understanding and assimilation of the non-dual truth.
The value of Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana isn’t to
be found in books. Those are just the external appearances of self; they're not
the realization of “Self” as proof. If one realizes the “Self” then he
realizes the formless substance of the mind, and he sees the truth in it. When
the truth becomes apparent then it cuts off the stream of delusion. Their
writings are pointers to truth, not truth-in-itself. That's why merely
believing in their books is pointless.
People judge others by their own
limited understanding. Their understanding is limited to physicality
/intellectuality. They simply indulge in endless argument on
their own point of view.
When one go deeper and deeper
reasoning to all the non-dual writing, it reveals the fact that, their
understanding is based on intellectuality, and it never takes one to
finality. The seeker of truth is on his own and he has to realize the
fact that, someone’s cooked food may be tasty but when he learns to cook on his
own he will be able to grasp the truth on his own.
Intellectual judgments will always
haunts with doubts and debate fastened to their tails, if not denials.
Direct spiritual perception alone free and lone conveys complete
certitude. The reason based on the soul as self, frees one from physical
based logic and theories.
Till one knows the ultimate truth
is non-dual, one keeps on inquiring and reasoning. One, who
thinks the self is physical and the experience of the world as reality, should not
indulge in pursuit of truth. He accepts the duality as reality and experiences
the birth, life and death as reality. When the birth entity is accepted
as self, then whatever is seen, known, believed and experienced on the base of
birth entity accepted as reality. On the base of birth entity, the body, world
and belief of god seems to be real.

The guru is necessary for religion and
yoga. Path of truth is a personal path
and path of verification. But in religion and yoga the verification is not allowed.
Blind faith is main ingredient in belief system and yoga. Gurudom is playing with words because maybe
the meaning is floating somewhere in between the spaces of words...
People who think themselves to be in a
position to air their knowledge forget one basic fact, namely that they go by
mere appearances. Someone expounds knowledge and the one who receives it begins
to ape the person from whom he has received the knowledge. They never question the validity of that
knowledge.
Thus, whatever the guru wears, he will wear;
whatever mannerisms the guru affects, he will imitate. Thus, they only learn to pretend. And all so-called
accumulated knowledge" is mere speculation based on the physical self/ego.
This is how tradition became established and traditional forms of worship come
into being and passed it on the one generation to the next. All these have nothing to do with the Self- Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Whatever One has heard, whatever he has been
told, will have no value as far as the ultimate point of view. Whether one
accepts the fact that the only knowledge that he u really has is the knowledge
that he exists, that is consciousness. Other than that, whatever knowledge he
thinks he has as a person, is part of the illusion, something acquired, based
on the illusory consciousness.
The realization of truth is not
intellectual understanding. Self- Realization is about realizing the fact that,
the self is not physical, but it is the formless soul or consciousness or spirit.
Intellectual and logical / analytical perspective is based on the false self,
will not help the seeker to reach his non-dual destination. The truth is beyond
intellectual understanding and only the serious seekers who are free from preconceived
accumulated ideas can get there.
The seeker of truth moves a head by
verifying the facts and by removing all the obstacles and reaches his non-dual
destination.
As the conviction of formless
substance and witness grows stronger and firmer, the illusion looses its lustre
and becomes one with the stuff it is made out of.
