The good and evil is part of the
falsehood; pure and impure is part of the falsehood. No one can purify another because the duality
is itself is impure and duality is created, sustained and finally dissolves as purity,
which is the soul or spirit or consciousness.
When one starts exploring the
mystery of the self, he is still mired in habituated patterns. Limited in
perception to a world projected by these patterns, he does not and cannot see
things as they are because his understanding is based on the waking entity ,which is the false self(ego),
whereas the truth is based on the formless soul, the innermost self. He
needs a guide, who can show how to proceed in pursuit of truth.
The soul is the subject, and mind is an object. When
the understanding is based on the object as subject the realizing the truth is
impossibility. Object is unreal created
out of the formless subject, which is real.
Mind means ignorance. Overcoming the ignorance through
wisdom is the aim of the truth seeker.
The Gnani is the one who is fully aware of “What is truth?” and “What is
untruth?” in the midst of experience of diversity or illusion.
Gnani is fully aware of the fact that the birth, life and death are mere illusion and views all the pain and pleasure of the life as mere illusion.
The waking rise and man and his experience of the world comes into existence and dissolves into nothing in deep sleep. To the Gnani, there is no world, no body, and no ego because for Gnani , the mind is mere mirage created out of consciousness . Thus everything is consciousness.
