Seeker of
truth has to begin to discriminate first with his words;
then with his ideas; then with his outlook; then with his life and lastly with his
consciousness.
By physical
based practices such as yoga and rituals one does not get at ultimate truth. One
has to think hard to remove the ignorance.
The birth,
life and death are part of the known, and not of the formless knower. The
knower is not an object of imagination but the subject which is responsible for
the object to exist.
The self
knowledge is not for those who lack the intelligence to discriminate between the
subjects (formless)and object (form). Both witness and witnessed are spirit,
not witness alone.
Non-dual Truth can ever change. The nature of non-dual truth is this: It can never be changed under any circumstances. It may
be misrepresented. It must apply to the whole of existence, to all the three
states.
As
the deeper analysis points out It is in the waking/dream alone that one has all
changes. The witness remains unchanged. The witness, as such remains immortal.
It can never die for it never changes.
The waking
or dream is witnessed, and goes, but the witness or knower of the three states,
can never go. Seeker of the truth has to take this principle as his guiding
thread and assimilation becomes easy. The witness can never be subject to the
changes of the witnessed; it is unchanged. The mistake usually made is that witness
becomes witnessed, or that witnessed is witness.
Absence of
contradictions is possible only in absence of duality; where there is no second
thing. If there is duality then there is contradiction. The contradiction
between witness and witnessed. The
experience" is witnessed. Diversity implies contradiction, and it implies
that two things are not the same, hence duality exists there.
The soul and
mind are one in essence. Ignorance of the soul the mind becomes reality and
becoming aware of the soul the mind becomes illusion.
Soul is only imaginary in the
realm of duality, and mind is myth in the realm of the soul/self. All ideas of immortality and eternity are
ideas within the duality. The duality is falsehood/ideas on the standpoint of
soul, which is the true self.
The
duality is apart from soul because it is prior to appearance of duality. The
duality is mere an object to the soul or consciousness , the innermost self. The mind is mere mirage created out
of the soul or consciousness. The people who claim to have a vision of the highest or describe
it as supra-mental etc. does not understand the soul as self, because it is
free from physicality and it exit prior to any appearance.
Ordinarily
knowledge arises from experience of object by a subject; that all knowledge of
objects will only lead to more thinking but never give one ultimate truth. Intellectuals
try and get more objective experience because they base themselves on physical proof.
.” the intellectuals can never get at ultimate
truth that way because it leads to endless thoughts and because they ignore the
soul, which is the true self and is the formless substance and witness of the
duality or falsehood. Seekers of truth have to inquire, analyze and reason to find
ultimate truth.
Investigations
into objects are useful empirically; but only that seekers of truth should not
delude themselves that this is the correct path to final reality.
No one as
a person can see the awakening of consciousness,
because awakening happens when ignorance is disappears. Ignorance disappears when the mind becomes
one with the soul. Only through non-dual wisdom or self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, one becomes aware of the three states are
mere mirage created out of the soul or consciousness, the innermost self, in the midst of the waking or illusion. The waking or dream is witnessed by the soul
or or consciousness , the innermost self, without the physical apparatus .
Claiming
himself to be god or agent of god is not spirituality but hypothesis, because in
the realm of truth noting exists other then spirit, which is the true self and
ultimate truth.
