Everything in physical existence or universe nothing but mind. The body, ego and universe cease to exist
without the mind. Limiting the mind to the physical entity is cause of the
ignorance and ignorance is cause of experiencing the duality is reality.
Therefore it is necessary to know “what is mind” and “what is the substance of
the mind?” and what is the source of the mind in order to move deeper in
pursuit of truth. Until we think the mind is within the body we will not be
able to assimilate the non-dual truth because deeper self-search revels the fact
that, the body and the universe are within the mind. Therefore we have to remove the obstacle
mentally to realize the mind, which is in the form of universe is mere
myth.
The traditional Advaitin will not accept anything else as
proof other then what scriptures says. It is waste of time to convince the
people who cannot be convinced, because they have built egoic wall around them.
One has to go beyond Advaith to understand,
assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. We have to drop all accumulate dross in order to understand
and assimilate non-dual truth.
Even in the
Buddhism: - Buddhist teaching has itself become a kind of interactive and
self-evolving process, much like its idea of pratityasamutpada. However, the
end goal is still Nirvana, which is an experience ultimately beyond all
concepts and language, even beyond the Buddhist teachings. In the end even the
attachment to the Dharma, the Buddhist teaching, must be dropped like all other
attachments. The tradition compares the teaching to a raft upon which one
crosses a swift river to get to the other side; once one is on the far shore; there is no longer any need to carry the raft. The
far shore is Nirvana, and it is also said that when one arrives, one can see
quite clearly that there was never any river at all.
The scriptures and theories and teaching based on the ego
are not the yardstick. Using them as yardstick to understand and assimilate the
truth will lead one towards pursuit of arguments. Seeker of truth has to
discover on his own, the truth of his true existence by inquiring “what is
mind?” and “what is substance of the mind?” and move forward.
The wisdom consists in knowing
the truth, that everything (mind or universe or physical existence) is consciousness.
Freedom (ultimate truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from
physicality and who have attained the serenity of the soul or consciousness, the innermost self
are quite near to the ultimate truth.
To think once own body and his
experience of the world is an illusion is difficult matter, unless one realizes
the self is not physical but it is formless soul it is difficult to have
glimpse of truth.
When one realizes the fact that,
the self is not physical but the formless soul, naturally the body and universe
becomes illusion.
The mind (universe)is emanating
from soul (consciousness) means the mind is being effect from consciousness is
not different from it. Deeper analysis shows it. Analysis needs deeper thinking
and reasoning. Mind is whole universe thus it has a form. But where is the form
in consciousness (soul) because consciousness is like an ocean and mind is like
wave. The universe is same
consciousness, as the ocean produces the wave, so the consciousness produces
the mind(universe).
The moment one knows the mind (universe) is consciousness, and then there is no ignorance. If one knows
consciousness as self then everything is consciousness, the consciousness is
second to none. The mind is
consciousness but due to ignorance one mistakes it for something else. One
thinks the self is within the body; but the self is without the body and the
world.
Mind ceases to exist without the matter. Without the matter
mind ceases to exist as mind but it exists as matter- less awareness or
consciousness. Without the mind neither the world nor its perceiver can exist.
Without the matter there is no duality. Without duality there
is no experience. Without experience it is non dual reality. Therefore whatever
prevails without the mind is ultimate reality.
The true nature of the soul (consciousness)is camouflaged
by the illusion or duality. To know the
truth one has to discover and realize the formless substance of the mind or
illusion. One has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the standpoint
the formless soul as self.
Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the prime goal of the truth seeker. This goal is
hidden within the mind as its invisible substance and witness. Therefore, it is
necessary inquiry, analyze and reason in to the nature of mind or
duality or illusion in order to unfold the mystery of mind or duality or illusion.
