Deeper
self-search is the only tool to reach non-dual destination. The thoughts
arise only when the self is considered as form. Thoughts
cannot rise without the form. Without the duality the thoughts will not
form. The duality will not form without the ignorance of the soul, which
is the true self.
Till man thinks himself as the doer he will remain in ignorance. Till he is
ignorant he will not be able to believe the birth, life and death is
illusion. Until he realizes the three state are unreal he will not be
able to accept the birth, life and death as illusion. Until he thinks
illusion or duality as reality he will not be able to assimilate self-knowledge.
People
who stuck to their religious belief and think scriptural authorities as
ultimate truth will not be able to assimilate self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or
Atma Gnana. Soul, which is the true self, is nothing to do with
religion and its code of conducts. Observing and following religious code of
conducts is accepting the false self as true self.
Accepting
so-called spiritual laws is accepting the illusion as reality. The laws are
reality within the duality. The one who thinks of existence spiritual
laws is accepted himself as a person perceiving the world that is accepting
himself as the doer. When the man is not the doer, how the actions done on the
base of false identity can yield fruits.
Seeker
has to think, when he is a false entity within the false experience, the
religion he follows, the belief he is believes, the truth he has accepted, the
knowledge he has accumulated, whatever he has seen known, experienced as a
person bound to be falsehood.
There
is no need to condemn any ones’ views and ideas or writing, but without being
judgmental, seeker has to verify whether the author is speaking on the
standpoint of ego, or whether he is speaking on the standpoint of the formless soul,
the innermost self. If his views are based on the standpoint of the
physical self or ego, then there is many doubts and confusion. If his views are
based on the soul as self then there is no confusion and doubts of any
sort.
Nothing
has to be accepted without verifying the validity of any claim in pursuit of
truth. Only un-contradictable truth has to be accepted as truth. There is
no need to condemn any religion or any saints or sages, but seeker has to think
beyond religion, scriptures and individualized gods.
The
religious, yogic and worldly truths are individual truth based on the form or
ego. The spiritual truth is universal truth, which is based on the soul, the innermost self. The truth which is based on the formless soul, the innermost self
is the ultimate truth or Brahman or Christ or Emptiness.
The
religion is based on the body (form) as self, since it is based on the birth.
Spirituality is based on the soul (formless). Thus there is need to bifurcate
the religion from spirituality. Religion views and judges on the standpoint of
the physical self or ego, whereas the in pursuit of truth everything is viewed,
judged and concluded on the base of the soul, which is the true self.
Whatever is based on the physical entity is not spirituality because the
soul has no form, so it has no religion. Therefore, seeker of truth has
to rectify the seeking base, from form to formless, to understand and
assimilate the Self-Knowledge.
Thus,
viewing judging the ultimate truth on the base of ego or false self or accumulated
knowledge will not unfold the mystery of the mind(diversity). There is no
need of religion, god glorification and scriptures in pursuit of truth, since
the Soul, the innermost self is doer and author of our dual and non-dual experiences.
Experience
of diversity (form) becomes oneness in deep sleep and Oneness (formless)
becomes diversity in waking or dream. Therefore, that which becomes diversity (form), and that which becomes Oneness (formless) is not our physical entity,
because the physical entity is present only in waking and dream. The one, which
is aware of all the three states, is formless, apart and eternal which is the
soul. The formless soul, which is present
in the form of consciousness itself is
ultimate truth or Christ or Brahman or Buddha’ nature.
To
realize this truth one has to realize first “What is truth? and “What is
untruth?” between the dual (waking or dream) and non-dual experiences.
Searching the truth on the base of inherited religious conditioning and
accumulated bookish or scriptural knowledge is not the means to self or god or truth
realization.
Non dual wisdom can be attained by anyone --be he
criminal or a person from any walk of life -if he will only pursue it to the
end, for he will rise by stages until he reaches the level of understanding
non-causality, when the highest stage will open before him. Only his own
dullness of intelligence can prevent him from attaining non dual wisdom.
The most advanced man is he who exercises his
rational thinking when desires or attractions present themselves whereas the
least advanced is unable or unwilling to distinguish between primitive desires
which arise from his unconscious and the paths laid down for him by his
reason.
One must give some time to reflection upon this inquiry, and if he
cannot find the time, if his mind is too distracted by activities or worries
then he must go to yoga or meditation and get peace alone.
For the seeker must direct the whole of his
attention, his whole mind, to the subject of inquiry and reasoning on the true
base. Discrimination means reasoning or inquiry.
Seeker of truth should not be disheartened, try
over and over again. When he sees that authoritarianism does not give him
truth, he goes further. He must have the determination to get at it. Experience
tells him that every time he attempt, he progresses.
Non dual Truth may be as bitter as poison, but he
must like it as nectar. Those who cannot do this are unfit for
self-knowledge.
The right kind of seeker of truth will accept and
search for truth whether it brings bitterness or sweetness, whatever it tastes
like, for its own sake. He must be prepared to find God as impersonal, and to
lose his own individuality for the sake of non-dual truth.
