If one bases his- self on the ‘I or ego or waking entity ’ he
will never get the truth. If one
thinks himself he is an individual apart from the world he will never be able
to know what is real and what is unreal. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes
place and waking becomes unreal when one becomes aware of the fact that ‘I’ is
not the self. Thus Inquiring on the base
of ‘ego’ or waking entity , which is the false self, will keeps one in the realm of intellectuality.
In the realm of the consciousness the innermost self, there is no search, no enlightenment, and no self realization, because
the consciousness alone exists all else is illusion. Until one thinks he is
the doer everything in the duality appears to be real. The
moment one becomes aware the Formless witness (subject) and the witnessed (object) are one is
essence the duality is lost, and whatever prevails is the ultimate truth.
If one has an intense urge then only he will
search for truth. The ultimate truth cannot be approached until one becomes
aware of the fact that, whatever appeared is false and the formless substance
and witness of the appearance is real.
If one has no intense urge he
thinks - everything is truth on the base of false self, not realizing he is
basing his-self on the false self or ego (‘waking entity’) and experiences the duality as
reality, and passes his judgments on the false physical self, which is mere
intellectuality. The non-dual truth is beyond intellectuality.
When deeper inquiry, analysis
and reasoning reveal the fact that, neither the body nor the ‘ego ’ is the true
self, then what is the use of inquiring on the base of false self, and
imagining and concluding the truth. Thus it is necessary to know the true fact that,
‘ego or waking entity ’ is not the true self, but the true self is the formless knower or witness of
the ‘I’ or mind or universe .
Thus, whatever conclusion,
understanding and assimilation based on the false self (‘waking entity or ego’) is bound to be
falsehood. Therefore, discussing and arguing on the base of false self or ego is like
–trying to drain the ocean drop by drop.
