There is a need of an atmosphere of free will,
wherein inquiring, analyzing and reason is the order of the day. The more one
inquires, analyzes and reasons, he learns and able to grasp the non dual truth.
This helps
the seeker of truth to inquisitive and opens his vistas and dialogue with like
minded fellow seekers. The dialogue between the religious and the non-religious
is of no use. As what is important is truth
of the existence is first and then the rest in pursuit of truth.
Seeker of truth needs to work towards, how he has
to find answers for all his doubts and confusions. Most people consider the
ultimate truth is as a threat their religious belief.
The ultimate aim of the human being is to find and
realize the truth and work towards it rather than
fight that one has the truth to oneself and other truths are wrong or inferior.
Realization of truth of one’s true existence is
important factor as the mankind is caught up in the crossroads of witness the
wars and terrorism in the name of fundamentalism.
Universal peace is need of the hour. The political
oppression and religious agenda of conversion are being challenged all over.
This requires a perfect understanding of what is truth and what is not truth,
for constructive action rather than destruction. As the old tenets of religion
are loosing ground, newer avenues are sought through fundamentalism to protect
the old rut, which is a dangerous sign. Only realization of non dual helps to
bring in greater tolerance and social responsibility.
Seekers of truth must read more on critical
thinking and develop their spirit of reasoning. The younger generation who are exposed to the world and realities of the
atrocities committed in the name of religion and god are moving towards
questioning the hypocrisy of religion. This is an important force to reckon
with and need to be tapped to make the younger generations’ constructive
thinkers with strong reasoning.
The consciousness is self-evident. It is not established by
extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the consciousness , because it is the
very essence of the one who denies it. The consciousness is the basis of all kinds of
knowledge, presuppositions and proofs. Self is within, self is without; Self is
before, Self is behind; Self is on the right, Self is on the left; Self is
above and Self is below.
consciousness is not an object, as it is invisible, beyond the
reach of the physical eyes. This does not mean that consciousness is a negative
concept, or a metaphysical abstraction, or a nonentity, or a void. It is not
another. It is all-full, infinite, changeless, self-existent, self-delight,
self-knowledge and self-bliss. It is essence. It is the essence of the knower.
It is the Seer, Transcendent and Silent Witness.
Consciousness is impersonal, without
attributes, formless, without special characteristics, immutable, eternal and
non-agent. It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing
Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses.
Consciousness is non-dual, one without a
second. It has no other beside it. It is destitute of difference, either
external or internal. consciousness cannot be described, because description implies
distinction. consciousness cannot be distinguished from any other than it. In consciousness ,
there is not the distinction of substance and attribute. Non dual constitute the very essence or nature of consciousness ,
and not just its attributes. The consciousness is impersonal. It becomes
a personal self only in the illusory duality.
