Self-Realization
is not an experience. People who think Self can be experienced are still
infancy because they are not personally self-searched. Their understanding and
assimilation are dependent on intellectual spoon feeding form whatever they
have read, heard and assumed. Since
their egocentric outlook, they refuse to accept or verify anything other than
their accepted truth. Discussing with
such people is waste of time. Discussions
only the subject is more important to understand and assimilate the self –knowledge.
Mixing up every teaching or philosophy or quotation of some great thinkers or
scriptural authority create hindrance in pursuit of truth. Seeker has to focus
on only mind and consciousness to unfold the mystery of the universe in which
we all exist.
Ultimate truth
or Brahman is beyond all experience. Experiences imply duality. Duality is mere
illusion from ultimate standpoint. The consciousness beyond experience and it
cannot be experienced because it is cause of all experiences and it itself is
uncaused because it is non-dual in its nature.
The grace
cannot be experienced. It is emotionally hallucinated people propagate to
experience the grace by plying with people feelings and hallucinating them with
ornamental words promising them with the experience of the self. Such hallucinated experience is not wisdom.
Birth, life
and death, Virtue and voce, pleasure and pain are part of waking or dream not
of the formless witness or the soul. Soul
is the true self. And soul is in the form of consciousness. The formless witness
[self or consciousness] pervades in everything everywhere, in all the three
states as their formless substance. The
true self is neither the doer not enjoyer because it is not an individual. Doing and enjoying is an individual experience
within the illusion.
People
think that their chosen path is right path. And it is foolish to tell them that
they are not in right path because until they themselves become aware that,
their chosen path is inadequate and useless in quenching their spiritual thirst,
they will not accept anything other then what they think is right. Pursuit of truth is personal journey and it
cannot be imposed on others. The people who have inner urge will find the right
path, at right time with right people and move ahead in their mental [inner]
journey.
Consciousness
is the true Self and it does not belong to any religion or race and creed. It is not perceived by the senses. It is
unattached, formless and witness of all the body and universe.
Consciousness
is the Eternal Truth, the real Self and the only Universal Reality or
Omnipresent Reality which is the Truth of all life and existence whether
visible or invisible.
Consciousness
has no beginning and no end it is the eternal ageless Consciousness is the One
besides which there is nothing else existent.
In
Consciousness is the essence of the illusory universe in which the birth, life
and death takes place. There is no experience or conception by which one can
limit it.
The
formless is form, the timeless is time, and the spaceless is space. The form, time and space are mere mirage
created out of consciousness. Thus form, time and space are created out of
single stuff, which is consciousness.
The cause
and effect is the theory based on the false self. When the birth, life and
death and the world are mere illusion on the ultimate standpoint, how the
physical based theories such as creator and creation, cause and effect, karma
can be real.
Illusion is the nature of consciousness. It is
in ignorance the illusion becomes reality and when the consciousness remains in
its formless non-dual true nature the duality is mere illusion. The universe is
in the form of mind. The mind is mere
mirage created out of consciousness.
Without the mirage it is pure awareness. The mind appears as waking or
dream. The dream is parallel waking and waking is parallel dream. Mind and spirit are one in essence.
One has to
burn down the ignorance with the fire of conviction that “I AM is not the self but
the self is I AM-less existence. Until one hold the ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as self he is
duped by his own egocentric outlook and he will remain hallucinating that he knows the
truth and what he knows as ultimate truth.
Until and unless one comes out of hangout from I and
I AM base, it is impossible to cross the threshold of duality. ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ or
words used in duality to indicate the self. Deeper self-search reveals the fact
that neither the ‘I’ nor the ‘I AM’ is self because the sense of ‘I’ or ‘I AM’
is present only in physical existence whereas the self is beyond ‘I’ or I
AM. In the past some sages must have
used it to help the seekers to reach up to the level of ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ by
revealing only half wisdom and kept the other halfway to reach the destination
as a secret. People who are stuck with
‘I’ or ‘I AM’ remain in the stagnant water if they do not proceed beyond ‘I’ or
‘I AM’.
Because People
hold their teacher, guru, god men or scriptural scholar as authenticated
authority on truth and treat only the words of religious robed god men or gurus
as a final say, and they miss their inner track. If one is seeking truth then it is
necessary for him to investigate all the facts, on his own by deeper reasoning
to realize the fact that, the path of
religion and path of yoga are not the means to realize the ultimate reality,
because theses paths are egocentric paths. Thus all the egocentric paths lead
to hallucination not towards the ultimate realization. Thus, it is wrong declaration to say that,
every path leads one to the same destination because egocentric paths leads
one to hallucination and only
soul-centric path leads one towards the
ultimate realization.
Self
–Realization is Self - awareness that is, realizing the self is not form but
self is formless consciousness and being aware of the true self(soul) in the midst of
duality, which is mere illusion.
Therefore
one has to become aware of the true self, is neither the waking entity nor the
dream entity but the formless substance and witness of the three states.
Therefore, one has to dropping all the baggage of the accumulated dross, which
is blocking his realization of his formless true identity by starting a fresh
in his pursuit of truth.
