All the
three states are an object to the formless subject. The object is the form and
the subject is formless consciousness. All the three states are mere mirage
created out of consciousness. . There is nothing that is not consciousness in
objectified waking or dream. There is only consciousness and nothing else. Consciousness is formless and limitless, and
it is the source from where the mind rises and subsides as waking or dream.
One
confronts the world within the waking or dream experience. The dream entity and
the dream world is reality within the dream. Likewise the waking entity and the
waking world are reality within the waking. Therefore, the waking is parallel
dream and dream is parallel waking experience.
The duality exists in waking or dream and duality ceases in deep
sleep.
The form, space and time are reality within
the duality. Until one hold the form as
self he is in the grip of time and space.
The form, time and space exist together and disappear to gather. One has preconceived inherited conditioning
that, he is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior to
him and he is born in this world afterwards. Until this preconceived
conditioning is there he is bound hold the birth, life, death and world as
reality. Until one holds the experience
of birth, life, death and world as reality it is difficult to overcome the
inherited conditioning, which is the cause of the ignorance.
One cannot
overcome the ignorance until he makes
sure of the fact that, the self is neither the waking entity nor the dream
entity but self is the formless witness of the three states, which comes and
goes in succession. Until one becomes
aware of the fact that the self is not human it is difficult to get rid of the
humidified conditioning. Without getting rid of the conditioning it is
difficult rectify the reasoning base from form to formless.
Thus all
the accumulated knowledge based on the ego is useless in crossing the ocean of
duality. Therefore perfect understanding and assimilation is required to
assimilate and realize the nondual truth.
Until one
thinks “I AM” as self, he will remain in
the prison of duality, because he will not accept anything other than whatever
he has heard and read without going deeper and
keeps himself busy with intellectual speculation. Their egoic attitude will not allow them to go
beyond duality.
Assuming and speculating with second-hand
knowledge without verifying with deeper reasoning is like eating the half-baked
cake and sharing the same half-baked cake with others.
Thus seeker of truth has to reach mentally until they get the
un-contradictable truth. Only the nondual truth is un-contradictable. One has
to make sure whatever he knows as truth is un-contradictable. Seekers should never indulge argument with
others. Seeker should discuss with the fellows seekers and he should accept
only, if it is un-contradictable truth after deeper reasoning. Through constant deeper reasoning, the inner
dialog will start and it will reveal the un-contradictable truth on its own.
Everyone longs to be perpetually happy, without any suffering.
Since in everyone the highest love is alone felt for one’s self and since
happiness alone is the cause of love, in order to attain that happiness, which
is one's real nature and which is experienced daily in the mindless state of
deep sleep, it is necessary to know one’s self. To achieve that, one has to realize
the fact that, the self is not the form but the self is formless. Until one
thinks the form as self, the birth, life, death and the universe will prevail
as reality. If the experience of the birth, life, death and universe are accepted
as reality than the sense of time and space will prevail as reality. If form, time and space prevail as reality
then the duality will prevail as reality. If duality is accepted as reality
than the illusion is experienced as
reality. If illusion is accepted as reality then the ignorance prevails, then
one thinks the ‘I’ or I AM as self. If ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is considered as self,
then it becomes very difficult to acquire self-knowledge.
