As waves, foam and bubbles are not different from water, so
the mind [universe or waking or dream]
emanating from consciousness [soul/self] is not different from it.
The mind [universe or waking or dream] emanating from consciousness means the mind
[universe or waking or dream] being
the effect from the consciousness is not different from it.
Analysis shows it.
Analysis needs thinking. Wave has a form; but where is the form in the water?
Where did the form come from? All that one can say is that the water [ocean] is
not different from the wave. The mind [universe or waking or dream] the mind is
the same consciousness [soul] as the sea produces the wave the consciousness [soul] produces
the mind [universe or waking or dream].
Begin to see your-self
as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.
Whatever is based on the waking entity is bound to be falsehood
because waking experience itself is false hood. Since many teachers
and teachings are based on the false self [ego or body as Self] and they
consider the false experience [three states] as reality, they are incapable of
grasping the witness, which is within the three states, but it is without the
three states.
Thus, the formless knower of the three states has to be grasped
mentally and realize the fact that, all the three states, which comes and goes,
are mental. They are impermanent. The formless witness or knower of the
three states is permanent and eternal. Therefore, there is a need to
understand “What is Mind?” and “What is the substance of the Mind?” in order to
understand and assimilate the non-dual truth.
For this one has drop all his accumulate knowledge, which he is
using as a yardstick and lands himself in pursuit of argument without reaching
anywhere. One has to think deeper and analyze and verify everything and
accept only un-contradictable truth. Nothing has to be accepted as truth
because some great thinker says it or I am saying it.
Those who lack the intelligence to discriminate between formless witness
[subject] and three states [object] will not be able to grasp what is real and
what is unreal. Both subject and object are consciousness, not subject alone.
The truth can never change. The nature of truth is, it can never be
changed under any circumstances. It may be misrepresented. It must apply to the
whole of existence, to the whole of the universe. It is in the object [three
states] alone that one has all changes, as deeper analysis points out.
The subject [formless witness] remains unchanged. The subject
[formless witness], as such remains immortal. It can never die for it never
changes. The body and world are an object, and goes, but the subject or knower
of the body and the universe, can never go. Seeker has to take this principle
as his guiding thread and non-dual truth becomes easy to grasp. The formless
witness can never be subject to the changes of the object; it is unchanged. The
mistake usually made is that subject becomes object, or that object is subject.
If one wants to have absence of contradictions, absence of duality,
there must be one entity, one being. If one has experience which is an object
[mind], there is contradiction between subject and object, for "mind” is
an object.
The duality is reality on the standpoint of the false self [ego or body
as Self]. The duality is mere mirage on the base of the true self, which
is formless consciousness. This understanding comes only to the serious seeker,
who has real urge to know the ultimate truth, which is beyond the all the
teachings and teachers. There is neither teaching, nor teacher, nor student in
the realm of truth.
Different
paths will not converge to the same Ultimate Reality because they are based on
the false self. They are not the different stages in the same path. People
fight about the differences and greatness of their chosen paths but only
through wisdom one can realize the Ultimate Reality.
One has to
have perfect understanding and march a head, surely and steadily, towards that
Ultimate Reality, which is consciousness or Brahman or Christ or Buddha. One
becomes limited to the concepts, names and forms within the waking/dream.
Waking/dream originates from the soul.
The
soul is the true self. The soul is in the form of consciousness. Realizing
the consciousness as the true self is truth realization. Consciousness is
formless, limitless, permanent and unchanging, and by its nature non-dual and
universal. The consciousness is the formless knower of the mirage [universe]
which comes and goes.
Realize Brahman or ultimate truth or God
here and now, in this very life, not in next life and in ii next world by
realizing the fact that this life itself is illusion.
