Man goes
on spinning yarn of his imagination on religious base and imagines that the
universe has brought into existence by all-wise god with some definite purpose
and a set programme.
Each atom of this universe be speak of order, discipline organization and balance-testifying to some great mind that has shaped it. And man was not born result of some accident. He was created as superior to all other creatures, to act as the vice-gerent of god upon the earth, blessed with intelligent and rational thinking. He has been given the power to choose between good and evil deeds. This freedom makes answerable to god and his fellow creatures both for his deeds. His conscience guides his steps to discriminate between what is good and what is bad. He may commit sins and mistakes but is also repentance and ability to correct himself.
All man's imagination seems to
be true until man is unaware of the true fact that `I' is not the self but `I' is
the whole Waking experience. The invisible substance and witness of the `I' or
Waking experience which is formless consciousness is the true self. Therefore it is
necessary for seeker to verify about his own existence through inquiry and
reasoning in order to realize the fact that `I' is not the self but formless consciousness is the true self and learn to view and
judge the worldview on the standpoint of consciousness as self to unfold the mystery
of the mind, which is present as Waking experience.
When one is able to view and judge the
worldview on the standpoint consciousness as self then he will realize there is neither the
creation nor the creator but only non-dual consciousness alone will prevail as
ultimate reality of the existence. Therefore it is erroneous to conclude the truth on the
base of religion and god. All religious and yogic practices are based on the
`I' as self which is false identity and consider the Waking experience as reality
which is mere illusion. Hence it is very much necessary to verify one's own
identity before indulging in truth pursuit.
The religious and yogic discipline which is practiced on the false identity of `I' as self, in order to get freedom from cycle birth and death will neither bear neither desired neither fruits nor endures. The spiritual path which not known to fail is the one which is self imposed, determined and readily applied by inner urge of the seeking mind. Seeking mind is free to mould its mindset as best as it could.
The freedom from religious and yogic mindset helps the seeker to create a new spiritual order in its pursuit of truth.
The seeker has to be vigilant about the tricks of the memory, steadfastness is necessary in spiritual pursuit. Seekers of truth realize the fact that looking into the past with the trials and errors, acts of commission and omission ,regrets and fear ,passion love and hatred ,personal tragedies are happening within the illusory Waking experience.
Whatever happening within the Waking experience is mere illusion and transitory including the seemingly indissoluble human ties, more so wealth and fame, and thus not worth moment to regret. Nothing is changeless and lasting in the Waking experience but the invisible substance and witness which is the formless consciousness.
People take super natural power and miracles as the sure sign of perfection, but few understands the supernatural powers or miracles are the part and parcel of the illusory experience. Whatever is seen known, believed and experienced as real within the illusory Waking experience is bound to be illusion. The way to liberation from the experience of duality, of which supernatural powers are totally incapable. Only through knowledge of the true self it is possible to overcome the experience of duality.
The religious seekers think genuine devotion, irrespective of labels and nomenclature, no doubt surcharged with it, but the devotion which is imagined on the false self and devotion to imaginary belief of god within the illusory Waking experience. Thus devotion cannot transport the seeker beyond the illusory state. The truth is within the Waking experience as its invisible substance and it is apart from the Waking experience as its invisible witness. Since it is not an entity or identity within the Waking experience it is apart from it.
So, much lies in the power of Atman, the burden must be left entirely to the Ataman, which is the invisible substance and witness of the Waking experience and it is the true self. Without it there is nothing exist. Whatever exist everything is consciousness because there is no second thing in the Waking experience of diversity.
The Waking experience is like a web and the focus of attention of Ataman on the web creates the illusory reality. When the attention of Ataman the true self on itself the whole illusory web dissolves and becomes one with Ataman.
For the serious seeking mind which rejects the reality of the Waking experience and turn its attention on the Atman or consciousness, which is the true self and is the invisible substance and witness of the Waking experience, for such aspirant mind deeper self-search evokes the spiritual response of great magnitude. Religion and yoga are fruitless pursuit based on the non-extent imaginary goal because they take false self as real and false experience as reality. FP Blogs brings immense benefit for the serious seekers.
The spiritual surrender is not a mental stillness or oral act, but result of wisdom, which comes when the self becomes fully aware of its formless non-dual true nature the surrender happens automatically.
The grace which comes from fully earned hard internal fight or mental effort through inquiry and reasoning and analysis, by long period of suffering, and aversion to religious belief and intense yearning for release. Suffering turns the mid inwards and eventfully draws out of the cry from the depths of the self for the liberating light of truth.
The seeker has to become capable of viewing and judging all phenomena and events of the Waking experience as mere illusion. The Waking experience is an object to the Ataman which is the true self.
