Many think finding the source of
the thoughts one becomes aware of the truth and they are not sure what thoughts
are and where do they come from. Thoughts are part of the illusion and thoughts
will rise until the illusion is remains as reality. Therefore, seeking truth on the thought
oriented theories will not lead the
seeker to know the ultimate truth.
Until and unless one becomes aware of the fact, how or in what
way the physical existence is illusion, one will remain in the grip of duality,
and base himself on physicality or intellectuality. The intellectuality is great hindrance in
pursuit of truth because it is based on physical self /ego.
There is a need to know the facts about the thought is that;
they are arising in duality or illusion. They are absent without the
duality. There is no need to be curious
about what are they and where they come from continues to arise instead find
the source of the illusion and the substance of the illusion to unfold the
mystery of the mind/physical existence.
As
intellectually elegant and edifying all of these discussions of non-duality may
be, they don't bring about true liberation because they are based on
physicality. One has to mentally grasp the nondual truth to cross the threshold
of duality.
Since people mix yoga and karma theory which is based on
physicality it becomes difficult for them to understand assimilates the
self-knowledge. If the body is not the self,
and the true self is formless, then how the “Kundalini” will work when the self
is not the physical body. If body is not
the self, then where one has to trace those chakras in formless self. If body is not the self then
the karma theory becomes meaningless because the action is part of the illusion. Therefore, there is a need for deeper
understanding the fact to assimilate the non-dual truth.
Until one has the conviction that the Self is the body he will remain
experiencing the duality as reality. This duality is too powerful to be
displaced by simple conversations. It needs deeper thinking and understanding
and assimilation to overcome the duality.
One cannot bring the mind to total stillness without
understanding “What is mind?”and “What is substance of mind?”.
Yogic practice with correct posture to open the channels that
allows the “Kundalini “rise into the sahasrara chakra is not the means to
self-knowledge because it is based on the physicality. When the self is not the physical body, then
the yogic practice is not the tool to acquire nondual wisdom. It is mere
imagining the non-dual nature of the self/soul and gain the time bound blankness
of the mind.
The one which wakes up dreams and sleeps is not the
consciousness/self. The one which is aware of the waking/dream and deep sleep
is the true self, which is in the form of consciousness. Thus the waking/dream
and deep sleep is mere mirage on the standpoint of the consciousness, which is
aware. The consciousness/Christ is ever
aware and is aware of the three states [illusion] which comes and goes in
succession.
The waking or dreams are
unreal on the base the consciousness/Christ/Brahman. The reality wills not the
reveal until one becomes aware mentally of the formless witness and substance
of the three states. Therefore, the practices and theories based on the
physical self/ego are not the means to self-knowledge. If the meditator thinks
he is the doer of the meditation and takes the authorship of meditation then it
is not meditation.
The body is not the doer.
The body is mere an experience within the experience. The one which knows
itself as body and perceives the world is not the body, but the consciousness.
Without the consciousness the experience of diversity [waking/dream] is
non-existent. The consciousness, which is the true self can exist with or
without the experience of diversity [waking/dream], the illustration is deep
sleep. [In deep sleep the consciousness witnesses its formless non-dual true
nature.]
Thus consciously being
aware of the self is consciousness in the midst of experience of
diversity/waking will lead to non-dual/ meditative awareness of the
consciousness in the midst of duality.
Thus all meditation practiced on the false self /ego is preparatory
practices to reach the ultimate state, which is frees one from experiencing the
duality [birth, life and death] as reality.
The formless substance and witness of the three states is not physical
but the Spirit/Christ/Brahman.
Thus seeker of the truth has to verify the fact that, whether
his practice of meditation is based on the physical self/ego through deeper
inquiry, analysis and reasoning. This is
possible only when one feels, his present practice of meditation is inadequate
and useless. This feeling comes only
after years and years of meditation practice.
