Just as the dream entity and the
dream universe in the dream, is an illusion, which appeared and disappeared,
for the realized one, this waking entity and the waking world, is mere illusion
created out of consciousness because he is fully aware of the fact that the
self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the formless knower
of the three states.
When the waking entity and the
waking world are mere illusion then the experience birth, life, death and the
world are mere illusion created out of consciousness. These beings so, how can
Prarabdha, come along with birth, when birth itself takes place within the
illusion?
Ignorance prevents one from seeing the truth. Ignorance
is the cause of the illusion. And Illusion is cause of the universe. Universe is
cause of experiencing birth, life and death as reality. Until one becomes aware of the fact that, the
universe, which is in the form of mind, is myth, it is impossible to assimilate
the self-knowledge.
If there is no ignorance, then
where can be the universe be? Seeing myth instead of truth, due to utter confusion,
He only sees this universe, without realizing the reality.
Once the real nature of the “true
Self” is realized, the “Universe” will not be seen as real, once knowledge
of the “true Self” is gained and one
establishes in his formless true
identity ,which is consciousness , then
the birth, life, death and the universe will never remain as reality .
Consciousness the true Self is hidden and pervades in everything
and everywhere in the three states as their formless substance and witness; but
it is seen by Gnanis through their one—pointed and subtle intellects.
The serious seeker should merge his speech in his mind and his
mind in his intellect by understanding the fact that all his experiences are
created out of consciousness.
Seeker has to arise! awake and learn to know the fact that the
experience of duality [waking/dream] is
created out of Atman or consciousness, without understanding this fact , there is no unity in
diversity. The path of truth is Like the sharp edge of a razor, so it is hard
to tread and difficult to cross without perfect understanding and without the
guidance of Gnani
Having realized consciousness as true self , which is soundless,
intangible, formless, undecaying and likewise tasteless, eternal and odourless;
having realized That which is without beginning and end, beyond the Great and
unchanging—one is freed from experiencing the duality as reality.
It is through consciousness that one perceives all objects in
sleep or in the waking state. Having realized the vast, all—pervading
consciousness, one enters into non dual tranquillity.
He who knows the consciousness as true self, the formless experiencer of the three states, as consciousness, free from
experiencing the past ,present and the
future as reality.
Atman or consciousness is undistorted Consciousness. He who meditates on
consciousness is free from experiencing the pain and pleasure as reality,
liberated from the bonds of ignorance; he becomes free from experiencing the
diversity as reality.
The consciousness, when identifies with the body and dwelling in
it by experiencing the duality as reality. If it is torn away from the body and
its experience, is freed from it, what then remains? Whatever prevails is non-dual consciousness.
The consciousness, which remains awake while the sense—organs
are asleep, shaping one lovely form after another that indeed is the Pure, that
is consciousness and that alone is
called the Immortal. All three states are contained in consciousness and none
can pass beyond.
