Like an ornament made from gold is
Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments
made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born
out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.
People see God is different from them;
they fear him similar to a tiger fearing its own shadow in the well. The
ignorant thinks the birth, life, death and the universe as reality because he
is unaware of the fact that the universe is reality within the waking
experience but the waking experience is mere illusion from the ultimate
standpoint.
Since people have the inherited
conditioning of believing the birth, life, death and the world as reality they
are unaware of the fact that their human experience within the universe is mere
mirage created out of consciousness.
The ignorance of the true self
makes them to accept the false theories based on the false self and people accept whatever theory suits their mind set and keep
manipulating their false life within the false experience.
Some are intoxicated with theory
of karma; some are with the theory of cause and effect, some with love alone,
some with humanism, some with service, and some with rituals, worship, some
with glorifying and surrendering to the guru, some with their logical and
intellectual conclusions, some with their orthodoxy and some with their Yogic Samadhi.
But all these are biggest hindrance not qualification to acquire non dual
wisdom. It is waste of time to convince
these people because they have already have accepted something else as truth.
Thus they will not have any urge to know the ultimate truth. Therefore, it is no use discussing with such
crowd and it is better avoid such mind sets if one seriously seeking truth.
There is no use criticizing any belief system
or teacher or guru. But one has to
highlight how they cause hindrance and becomes obstacle in pursuit of
truth. People who think they are
rebelled against belief system are mere intellectual speculators. They are not
serious about seeking truth. They are more interested in time pass with their
intellectual acrobatics with the information collected from whatever they have
read and heard. Such accumulated knowledge is not the means in pursuit of
truth. Thus discussing with such mind set will neither help the seeker of truth
or those who think intellectuality and logical conclusion as the means for
Self–Realization.
Due to ignorance created because
of illusion the duality appears to be real. And within the illusion one is
conditioned to think that, he is an individual separate from the universe and
universe existed prior to him and he is born in it. This inherited conditioning of the birth
conviction is very dominant in waking experience. Until this conviction is
there it is impossible to assimilate self-knowledge. When one realizes all the three states to be
consciousness, then no second thing exist other than consciousness.
In that state of oneness,
everything is identified, as consciousness and when this is done, there is no
desire, no sorrow and no duality because they are part of the illusion. The
ultimate truth is in the form of consciousness and it is consciousness which is
the true self.
The dream experiences are true
within the dream and when one does not have enlightenment, the waking
experience appears to be true.
Though we seem to experience the
world, for all practical purposes of perception, but its reality is limited to
the waking experience because the waking experience itself is an illusion when
wisdom dawns, same way as the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place.
The dream becomes unreal on
waking, and waking does not exist in a dream, and waking and dream are absent
in a deep sleep.
For those ignorant who believe the
birth, life, death and the world as reality, think that, the effect of action
done in previous births, as Prarabdha in this birth, but for the realized one the
present birth, life, death and the universe itself is mere illusion because
they have realized the fact that, waking experience itself is mere illusion
created out of consciousness.
