The spiritual
seeker has to rectify mentally the reasoning base from form to formless in
order to get perfection in his understanding.
1) From
gnosis to the annihilation of the mind (I).
2) From
this annihilation of mind to the non-dual substance which is consciousness.
3) Establishing
in formless nondual consciousness and viewing and judging the the three states on the
base of the soul or consciousness, which is the innr most self.
The annihilation of
the mind (I)is possible thorough:-
The first is by inquiry and
reasoning.
Second is from proper and perfect
understanding of what is what
The third is from firm
conviction
Though inquiry,
analysis and reasoning leads to deeper understanding, and proper understanding
leads to firm conviction.
Though experience
of duality necessarily is invariably dependent on non duality, duality it not
non duality. But the invisible substance and witness of the experience of
duality is formless and non-dual in its nature. The reason why the non duality
is said to be the goal of the truth seeker is this that although experience of
duality is apart from the non duality is to be realized after deeper inquiry,
analysis and reasoning. Non duality is nothing to do with experience
of duality, since it is apart and it is not an entity or identity within the
experience of duality.
One becomes aware
of non duality only after he becomes aware of it, only after inquiry analysis
and reasoning on the true base. Thus it
is necessary for the seeker to understand the distinction between the two terms
more clearly in order to overcome all the fatter and obstacles in the pursuit
of truth.
Non duality means
complete annihilation, but annihilation of what? Before replying to this question
the seeker has to know what the true self, really is. This is possible only
when he investigates what ‘I’ really is?
Inquiry and
reasoning revels the fact that ‘I’ is not the physical body, but ‘I’ is the
whole experience of duality which is present as Waking or dream. Only when the
‘I’ is there the Waking or dream is there. Only when the ‘I’ is there the mind
is there. Absent of the ‘I’, is absent
of the mind [waking or dream]. Therefore seeker can easily conclude the fact ‘I’
is the mind or experience of duality [waking or dream. The mind is an experience. Experience is
duality. Experincer of duality is formless. And it is within the experience of
duality, but it is apart. It is within
the experience of duality as its invisible substance and it is apart from it, because
it is not an entity or identity, within the experience of duality or mind.
In reality the mind
or ‘I’ (waking or dream) is nothing but perverted manifestation of the real
self or the non-dual consciousness. Self knowledge means complete annihilation of the
ignorance. The non dual self replaces the false self, and the burden and
bondage of the experience of duality on the false self disappears and the
knowledge of the true self eradicates
the unreality which was all the time experienced as reality.
The self remains
after it is consciously become aware of the fact that the duality is mere
mirage imposed on it. The self becomes of conscious of its formless non-dual
true nature and becomes aware of the fact that the whole experience of
diversity which is mere mirage erupted out from itself, therefore it is unreal.
Therefore it really nothingness even if it creates the sense of reality. Since,
there is no second thing other then the self in the experience of diversity
which is the mere mirage.
The self remains
prevails self conscious within the experience of duality without the burden and
bondage of the physical shackle. It is
the state of nothingness in the midst of duality; there is neither creation nor
the creator but the wisdom state of conscious of the true fact that nothing is
real in the state of diversity other then the true self, which is the non-dual consciousness. It is very much necessary to realize ‘I’ is ‘I’ less in its true nature.
The self prevails
after annihilation of the mind [duality], that its attention is directed on its
own self. The average person is totally unaware of the fact, that he an entity
within the false experience. The average person is unaware of the fact that
what there before the appearance of the experience of duality or mind. There is
nothing higher or greater then the state f the self.
Nothingness is
realizing everything in the experience of duality (mind) is nothing but
self. An average human being is totally
unaware of the fact that he is an entity within the false experience. The false experience is created and witnesses
by formless single substance. Only when he inquires, analyzes and reasons, he
becomes aware of the fact that the whole experience of diversity is created out
of formless entity. Therefore it is erroneous to view and judge the worldview
on the base of form which is not the author of the false experience of
diversity. The whole experience of diversity has to be viewed and judged on the
base of the formless substance of the experience of diversity to realize the
fact that the formless substance itself is the witness and the witness itself
is the author of the false experience of diversity.
