Mind
always uses labels and concepts to connect with others. All these
labels and concepts are from past impressions and they detach you from
others and also from self. Once you learn to connect to self (Individual
soul) you will be automatically connected to universal soul. ~ Satish Kaku

There
are no divisions in consciousness or soul, the soul pervades everywhere
and in everything in experience of diversity. In addition, waking
entity is not the base to decide where the Presence is and where it is
not. It has to be viewed, judged and concluded on the base of the
formless witness [soul/self] to know there is only unity and the
diversity is mere illusion. “Soul, which is present in the form of
consciousness is all-present and everywhere and in everything and
connects everything to everything and finally becomes nothing other then
itself.
For those who have learned how to see, and judge the
three states on the base of the soul as self, find the truth is
perfectly hidden and perfectly revealed in these three states.
Every child has known God,
Not the God of names,
Not the God of don’ts,
Not the God who ever does Anything weird,
But the God who knows only 4 words.
... And keeps repeating them, saying:
“Come Dance with Me , come dance.”
~ Hafiz
How
you will prove that I am right and how you will believe that what I am
saying is truth. Truth is not written in any book. Truth is personal
experience. Life is all about you and only you. Any word or words only
make sense if you live them. Forget about who wrote. Intelligence will
only divide you, it will not get you love and wisdom. Real Intelligence
is here and now, being aware of your 'Atman' undefined
and not as body. It is perfect balance of body and soul. Everything is
illusion only if you do not live these two as one. Whatever divides you
with your love (soul) is not truth or intelligence. ~ Satish Kaku

What
do "I" want to learn and what do "I" want to teach? Who do "I" want to
show and who do "I" want to prove? Where do "I" want to go and where is
the destination and where does it end? Where does the world exist and
where is the Universe? After all there is nobody only "I" alone. One has
to die.

The
practical life within the practical world is nothing to do with the
innermost self. Man of truth does not renounce his worldly life and try
escape from the ups and downs of the practical life. He loves humanity
and attends all family and social obligations like any other householder
but inwardly he moving towards his spiritual destination.
Most People think those who follow path of truth are some useless guys
wasting their time and life, only path of humanity and service are real
path. That is their person opinion. The path of truth is very personal
journey. Mixing egocentric paths such as path of humanity, yogic,
religious path of love is like mixing oil in the water because the path
of truth is soulcentric path. Egocentric paths are nothing to do with
the path of wisdom.
Truth pursuit is a mental journey. It
is nothing to do with the practical life and practical world. The
practical life within the practical world will go on with all its ups
and downs. The man of truth is outwardly is concerned about the
humanity as much as others but inwardly he is fully aware of the
practical life within the practical world are mere illusion.
Only religious and yogic path people are advised to renounce the worldly
life and adopt some sorts of discipline. Seeker of truth need not
renounce worldly life. They need not go anywhere. They need not spend
their fortune on their pursuit of truth. They need not follow anyone.
They need not renounce family life, because it is inward journey [mental
journey]. Pursuit of is pursuit of verification not pursuit of
argument. Only perfect understanding of what is what will help the
seeker to realize the ultimate truth of Brahman in lesser time and
effort.
The truth is not some information. And information is
not truth. The information is mere signposts. It only highlights the
obstacles in pursuit of truth, and it helps the seeker to remove the
obstruction mentally which is blocking his realization. . Pursuit of
truth is not for those who are follow egocentric paths. Everyone has to
move on his chosen path which he feels is right for him.
Sri Sankara and Maya or illusion
VlSHNUVARDHANA, the King of the Hoysalas, was a Vaishnavite and was
greatly incensed at the doctrine taught by Sri, Sankara that everything
here below is an illusion. He wanted to teach the exponent of this
doctrine a lesson. So he invited the then Sri, Sankara to his palace.
That holy man went there and stoutly maintained that everything in this
world was illusion. The king had arranged to let loose an infuriated
elephant against Sri, Sankara. The beast rushed at Sri, Sankara who took
to a precipitate flight to save himself.
'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast seeing that the elephant is only an illusion?'
'Oh, king,' said Sri,Sankara in his course of his flight, 'my running
too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.
Thus the humanity is part and parcel of the illusion. thus whatever we
do with in the illusion is bound to be illusion. Thus people who are
concerned about the humanity are unaware of the fact that their
ignorance of their true existence is cause of experiencing the illusion
as reality. All their concern about humanity is within the illusion.
Similarly, we all are searching truth within the illusion not being
aware of the fact that, the illusion is created out of single stuff
which is:-formless consciousness ,which is the inner most self. The
consciousness is ultimate truth or Spirit or Self or Christ or Brahman
or Emptiness.
Thus searching the truth within the illusion with
the illusory self, within the illusory experience, has to be illusion.
The illusion is created, and sustained, and finally dissolves as
consciousness, which is the innermost Self. Since, there is no second
thing other than the consciousness; the consciousness itself is ultimate
truth or Brahman.
Everyone
is aware of this fact, when we are really hungry we will find anyway
possible to find food. It all depends on how hungry we are. Some folks
think it takes many years and a lot of time to recognize the
consciousness. It all depends on the seeker and how hungry (Intense
desire/inner urge) he/she is for consciousness. It will come, with no
doubts, not taking too much time. However one must be hungry. In that
intense urge (hungry), will lead one to his inner guru which is the
ultimate destination. Without the inner urge there are no possibilities.
''Love
is freedom. The freedom to express the most joyous part of Who You Are.
The part that knows that you are One with everything and everyone.''

If
you are regularly visiting temple or church or Gurudwara or mosque or
Haveli or any pilgrim and worshiping God or you are believer of any cult
and worshiping Guru or performing any rituals or you are wearing orange
clothes and preaching scriptures or you are puritan and teaching people
all kind of morality…that may help you to adjust your position in
society or in your relative but that does not mean that you are a real
religion person. If you make eating grass to cow or if you are in great
service of poor people to help them in education by giving them
scholarships or books or in sickness by giving them medicine or
arranging doctors for them , then also you are not a religious person.
All these may be useful for society but it has nothing to do with
religion. If you are regularly practicing yoga or such type of any
exercise, which is useful for good health or to keep you fit in your
circle. Or if you are singing loudly devotional songs mechanically in
praise of God, that’s the way to lose energy, to get deep sleep, nothing
else…or if you are taking pain to walk long distance to reach pilgrims
by foot , that will also not serve the purpose to be religious…
Then
what should be done? Only the way to become religious or spiritual, you
have to become awake or to become aware, the moment you become aware,
you will be in presence tense. And to be totally in presence tense is
the religion. Once you are aware or in total presence, here and now, no
future or no past, then your mind stops, you become total thoughtless.
That is the bliss that is the godliness. And let me clear that…that is
the only possibility or potentiality of men, if you wish then in this
right moment you can become awake or aware or be in presence in this
moment. All other things in life are happening, though people might be
thinking, that they are doing some religious or spiritual things…

Every
kind of knowledge or experience is not self-knowledge. Most People
believe that, Religion, Yoga, Theology, Scholasticism, Mysticism,
Metaphysics and Science or path of love and path of humanism, is thought
by many sages in the past to be the tools, to realize the ultimate
truth or Brahman. But the fact is that, truth realization is not
confined to form, time and space. It does not dependent on any of these
old tools prescribed by the sages of the past, because it is apart from,
time and space. Truth realization is the truth of the whole not of the
part. ‘WHO AM ‘I’ AND ‘I AM THAT’ revels only half truth.
The
truth realization is to investigate the truth of the physical existence
of universe. It seeks the meaning of all that is seen, known believed
and experienced as person and of the world that confronts him.
Man learns from his experience that he is ever liable to err, which
leads to disappointment and suffering. It naturally, therefore seeks to
avoid a repetition of error. Thus he has to make efforts at seeking
truth or freedom from error. But because of ignorance he fails to
investigate of his true existence. The ignorance is in the form of ‘I’.
Deeper self-search itself is meditation. People think they don’t make
progress. It is because they are not gone deep enough and they assume
self- realization is some physical experience like yogic Samadhi or
yogic bliss. The self-awareness comes naturally when one becomes fully
aware with the firm conviction of the existence of the formless witness
of the three states. The formless witness, which is consciousness,
exists prior to the three states. Thus it is necessary for the seeker to
realize what exists prior to the appearance of the three states.
Though man is able to exercise his reason, yet he does not get to a
stage at which there can be no disappointment or suffering. He has to
make his "trials" as often as is necessary. But the pity of it is that
he does not realize that he has not attained truth, unless doubt arises
as a result of disappointments or sufferings, of his own or of others.
