"Gnani is
the one who has that non dual wisdom - hence from his understanding he realizes
the truth about the worldly life. consciousness alone is real and Gnani is fully aware
of the fact that, the whole waking experience which consist him and his
experience of the world are consciousness in their substance. Thus everything is consciousness.
Seeker
with humility will be able to recognize what he knows is so little in
comparison to what he needed to know. The only medicine that he can cure his
ego is a little spoon of "humility." Without this medicine, he will likely
argue for ever and lose the path to reach his non dual destination.
The seeker
has to seriously indulged in inquiry; analysis and reasoning without mixing up his
accumulate knowledge as yardstick and verify the truth .
Seeker has to spare some time and think and understand assimilate the
un-contradictable truth. The seeker has
to study enough understands what he wants to know and clear all
misunderstandings, doubts and confusion. There is no use of arguing with others
but his own self until he gets each and every point of his doubts and confusion
get cleared.
The ego means physical self or limiting the self or
consciousness to the physical body. Every action is associated with a series of
thought processes within the waking experience. But the point is, the ego,
while being involved in this action
does not get into other thoughts which are unrelated to this action. If one
leaves the ego to itself it will wander aimlessly over things totally unrelated
to each other.
This dissipation of the ego does not occur when one focuses it
into one action. While doing that action it dwells on only those things
which are related to the main action.
To this extent action itself disciplines the ego. Of course it may
not be a complete discipline. But in some sense there is mostly a
uni-directional restriction or piloting of the ego. The whole human experience
is based on the ego. The ego cannot be destroyed by action and conduct and
deeds.
One has to understand the fact that, the ego, physical body and the world exists
together. If one is missing the duality is impossible. Thus it is no use of
struggling to overcome only the ego. All other teachings propagate to overcome
the ego to get self-knowledge. There is no use of struggling to
overcome the ego. It is impossible to overcome the ego with the ego. Only by
proper and perfect understning of the mind, it is possible to overcome duality.
