Direct
realization of the ultimate truth leads one to freedom from
experiencing the illusion as reality. The seekers of truth can
constantly reflect on this non-dual truth to get firm conviction.
Seekers who are after truth can propitiate through constant reflecting
on the true self, which is consciousness, and attain their desired aim
of reaching.
Only consciousness is perennial, all others are
impermanent, arriving at such a conviction, is truly the capacity for
discrimination.
Knowledge is never attained without reflection, like an object is never seen without a bright light.
The enquiry, analysis through deeper reasoning that needs to be done is:-
1. Why man and his experience of the world are present only in waking or dream?
2. Why the universe is present only when the mind is present?
3. With what the mind has it been made?
Thoughts like “I” and “I am” will not cease until one understands What
is ‘I’. One has to understand the fact that, the thought will not rise
without the waking or dream therefore, the waking or dream has to be
there prior to real thought process. Thus thoughts are nothing to do
with the formless witness of the waking or dream.
Thoughts
are concerned to the individual not to the formless witness. Thus
whatever is part of the mind has to be falsehood. Thus the thoughts,
which arise to the false self within the false experience is bound to be
falsehood. Thus it is erroneous to trace the source of the thought
instead on has to first realize the fact that the ‘I’ is not the self.
And ‘I’ is not the limited to the physical entity but ‘I’ is whole
universe, which appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep.
If ‘I’ is there then the mind is there. If mind is there then
the universe is there. And the universe is present only when waking or
dream is present.
One see differences between things because
of ignorance, all these differences would vanish when one gets wisdom
and the various thoughts rises because one considers ‘I’ as self.
The cause for this ignorance and the universe, is subtle and one
without second and unchanging existence, Similar to the water being the
cause of clouds and snow.
