By the realization of one's identity with consciousness, which is ultimate truth or Brahman, freedom from experiencing the illusion as reality is possible, and by no other means.

By deeper thinking and realizing the self is not the form but self  is formless consciousness and mentally shifting the attention from the objectified subject to the formless subject ,which is consciousness the inner most self. By realizing the formless consciousness as the inner most self, one realizes the consciousness alone exists the three states are mere mirage created out of consciousness.   Thus the three states are unreal created out of consciousness, which alone is real.    

The one who discriminates between the Real and the unreal, whose focus of attention is turned away from the illusory physical existence, who possesses calmness and who is longing for freedom from experiencing the illusion as reality, is alone considered qualified to take path of reason.

People who are yearning for spiritual truth will not find it through intellectual speculation and assumption. Intellectual truth is individual truth. Love implies duality and love is individual feelings within the falsehood. Love is necessary and valuable in the stated of ignorance but it is not the means to acquire wisdom.  Love is religious tool to lead life in practical world.  And Religious truth is individual truth and it is not universal truth because the religion is based on individuality. 

We are talking about duality within the duality. The duality exists until the mind exists. Absent of mind is absent of duality. Therefore,   by understanding “What is mind?” and “What is the substance of the mind?” one becomes aware what is reality, and what is illusion.  Only by perfect understanding and realization of the non dual truth, one will be able to overcome the duality. 

Since we are conditioned to view, judge and conclude the truth on the base of ‘I’, which is the false self, within the false experience, we are unaware what is truth, and what is illusion.  Man and his world exist within the illusion.  Therefore, it is erroneous to view and judge the truth on the base of illusory entity. 

Yoga, intellectualism, scriptural mastery is not the means to self-knowledge.   By the realization of one's identity with consciousness, which is ultimate truth or Brahman, freedom from experiencing the illusion as reality is possible, and by no other means. 

Seeker of truth has to get rid of his doubts through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on his own, to realize the fact that, the self is not the form but self is formless. Thus his analysis and reasoning has to be based on the formless not on the form.  By simply go on believing and accepting whatever said by the punditry will not lead one towards path of wisdom. All the doubt has to be got rid of "by the sword of Self - Knowledge."  The scriptures, yoga are not necessary if one follows the inner [formless] path.  Religion and yoga are not the means to path of wisdom. 

There is no need for all these baggage one has to drop it subconsciously but it is very difficult to drop the baggage because of the stubborn inborn conditioning or samskara. Until one drops the ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ which everyone holds as self , it becomes difficult for them to accept ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ itself is the inborn samskara and mother of all the conditioning,  which everyone  have to get rid of . 

Since everyone has their own chosen path and they have made it as a yardstick, it becomes difficult for them accept anything as truth other than accepted truth.  Until more and more doubts are created about their own understanding and path one will not indulge in deeper thinking. Without the deeper thinking and reasoning, it is difficult to understand, assimilate and realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

  
Truth cannot be got in world. The truth is hidden within the three states as their formless substance and witness.  The formless substance is the soul. And the soul is the true self.

The true self /soul is not an entity, or identity within the waking /dream, but it is the source of the three states, from where the three states erupt and subsides. 

When one is able to view and judge the worldview on the standpoint soul as self, then he will realize there is neither the creation, nor the creator, but only non-dual soul /spirit will prevail as ultimate reality.  Therefore, it is erroneous to conclude the truth on the base of religion and god. 

All religious and yogic practices are based on the `I' as self, which is false identity within the false experience [waking/duality].  The Waking experience is mere illusion, same way as the dream. Hence it is very much necessary to verify truth of the ‘I’, to realize the fact that ‘I’ itself is mere illusion. ‘I’ is not the self, because it comes and goes as waking/dream. Absent of ‘I’ absent of waking/dream/mind. Absent of waking/dream is absent of illusion/duality.   The knower of the ‘I’ is formless soul. When one who realizes the soul as the true self, and then he becomes free from experiencing the duality as reality. 

This formless path is very difficult for those who stick to their inherited or accepted truth, but not for the serious seekers who are in search of only non dual truth nothing but non dual truth.
