The ‘I’ or ‘I Am’ are mere words. The reality is beyond thoughts and words. The
words have meaning in duality. Duality exists until mind exists. Mind exists
where there is division of form, time and space. If there is no division of
form, time and space, than there is no mind. Words are used as a tool to name
individual objects and feelings within the duality. The words become meaningless
when one becomes aware of the formless substance of the mind, which is
consciousness. Consciousness is our inner most self. From the standpoint of our
inner most self, the mind is mere mirage. If mind is mere mirage then the form,
time and space are mere mirage. If form, time and space are mere mirage than
the thoughts and words which rises within the scope of form, time and space are
also part and parcel of that mirage. Thus body, ego, words, thoughts, and
whatever the contents of the universe are within the mirage created out of
single stuff that is consciousness. Thus 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 realize the words are meaningless in the realm of truth.
Deeper
self-search revels the fact that, the ‘I’ is not the self. ‘I’ is in the form of mind. Mind is in the
form of universe. And universe appears as waking or dream and disappears as
deep sleep. The formless substance and
witness of the three states which is formless consciousness is the true self.
If the self is form [I or waking or dream]
than the evolution theory holds water. If the self is formless [soul] than all
the theories based on the form is of no value. Until one thinks 'I' or I AM' as
self all these theories cannot transport anyone beyond form, time and space. The
theory of evolution is based on individuality, whereas the self, pervades in
everything and everywhere in the universe. Individuality is reality within the
falsehood. Thus all the theory based on individuality is bound to be falsehood.
Thus our judgment and reason and conclusion has to be based on formless self
not on the form[I] as self to realize Illusion is where one is bound to form,time and space or birth,life,death and the world.
Freedom is becoming free from experiencing the illusion or
duality as reality by realizing the fact that, the self is not the form but
self is formless. It is possible to realize this without realizing the fact
that, the individual self or ego is reality within the false experience. Thus all the knowledge accumulated by judging
on the base of false self, is false knowledge.
All these confusion will go on, until man thinks, he is
an individual and apart from the world, and the world existed prior to him and
he is born in it afterwards. Therefore, it is necessary to know the fact the
true self is not ego, but the true self is the soul, and stop viewing and
judging the world-view on the standpoint of the physical self [ego], and one
has to view and judge on the true self [soul/Atman] to realize the fact that,
the world along with man is illusion. The formless substance from which the
illusion is created is Atman. Thus Atman is Brahman/ultimate reality. Thus no
second thing exists on the standpoint of Atman or consciousness as self. thus
there is no experience nor the experiencer in non-dual reality but only
self-awareness.
By becoming more and more intellectual one becomes more
and more intoxicated to individuality. The intellectuality is limited to
duality. In realm of truth the
intellectuality is replaced by non-dual wisdom.
There is nothing exist other than formless non dual existence.
Therefore, there is no individual to
become sane or insane. There is no second thing exists, other than
consciousness. Everything is one, that
is, unity in diversity. The curiosity, urge cannot be imposed on others. it has to sprout within. One need not become
holy Shepard because the holy Shepard is within in to guide every seeker. Until
one is aiming to be a master, Guru or teacher, he will never reach his
destination. One has to share his knowledge with the fellow seeker not to make
them his followers but only direct them if they are interested to travel beyond
form, time and space. It is foolish to
impose our idea on others because everyone is not in same level of
understanding. Every one's inner work is
on. When they are ripe enough they will understand, assimilate and realize on
their own. If they are ready and sharp
enough they will grasp it instantly and they will reach their destination with
lesser time and effort. Thus preaching, teaching is not wisdom, but by very
careful reasoning, seeker has to determine the nature of reality. Thinking in
right direction alone helps seeker determining the nature of reality.
The sugar cannot know itself its sweetness. The true self
without ignorance is without the experience of duality or illusion. Thus one
has to base on the sugar not on its sweetness. Without the sugar there is no
sweetness. Similarly without the consciousness, the three states cease to exist
as reality.
