Every religious sect has its own philosophy, individualized God god , way of living ,code of conducts, rites and rituals. On account of these diverse differences people look down upon the religion of others, and indulge abusing each other and fight among themselves. Such religious based differences lead to violence,terrorism,wars and unrest in the world. Thus religion has become cause of concern in the modern world. The only remedy is realizing the ultimate truth ,which will expose all religious fable and brings unity in diversity in everyone's understanding. Thus the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the universal tool to eradicate the unrest, violence ,wars and terrorism going on in the name of God and religion.
Every
kind of knowledge or experience is not Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 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 present 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.
