There is an invisible yet no less profound sense of order that
connects, binds and governs the visible universe in which the man
lives in. As human being who tends to be wholly absorbed in the business of
worldly engagement, man is seldom conscious of its existence. It usually takes
a crisis for one to look beyond the limitations of human wisdom and abide in
the invisible infinite. Sensing divine order in worldly disorder is the
beginning of spiritual quest.
The spiritual
path is often stated by self introspection that leads the seeker to unfold the
untruth or unreality of his present experience of perception of his human
existence and of the universe which appears as Waking experience.
All wisdom of the scriptures and the holy books is replete with
questions from the seeker in why the infinite created so much misery and pain
in its creation. The answer too is invariably the same and there is a profound
meaning in the response; the infinite is simply is. It is unaffected by the
individual human experience.
The formless self that is Atman projects the illusory universe and mistakes that illusory projection as reality. That which keeps changing cannot be real. Not being able to experience the truth the invisible Seeker blames the infinite instead of discovering the true fact of the mystery of the existence by discovering and realizing about its own existence, by discovering what is the invisible self that is the Atman or consciousness , in the whole Waking experience. When the formless self that is the Atman or consciousness is able to trace its true position, the truth will unfold itself.

From the spiritual point of view the purpose of conceptual religion is to reunite man with his innate divinity, it is indeed the only purpose of human existence. But they have become the tool to condition the man into personality with all their conceptual injections. Thus man forgets his purpose and remains unaware of his main purpose to reunite with his true state of existence. Thus the conceptual religions and its scriptures becomes the greatest obstacle for the truth seeker to realize the truth.
The seeker therefore attempts to discover the truth of his own
existence which is camouflaged by illusory experience of the Waking experience
that which he perceives it which consists in mistaking the experience of
ephemeral Waking experience as reality. As a man the invisible Self that is Atman or consciousness is not aware of the infinite is within the experience of every human
experience. The Seeker is not aware of the true fact, since it is not aware of
its own invisible true state of its existence.
To realize the truth of the existence abide in the self or the witness of the three states . The self itself is infinite lone.
To know the truth of the existence the seeker has to adopt the Formless.Spirituality as tool to discover the truth, to assimilate what he is, in this experience of the universal existence.
The only truth that is formless transcendental absolute is the self
or the witness described as ‘ substance of the Mind’, ‘Atman’ or consciousness , ‘Brahman’, ‘Atman’,
‘Emptiness’, ‘Being’, ‘Holy Spirit’,’ Me’ or
the true ‘I’,’ true Self’.
It is human dispositions to look for prescriptions but in reality there are none. The spiritual journey is intensely a personal journey. The scriptures act as sign posts and the way they explore cannot be understood or followed by the truth seeker. They create lots of confusion and doubts and their practice cause hardship and impossible for any seeker to follow.
The truth is hidden as insights within the scriptures and the confusion is created within their own preaching and practice. The scriptures have mixed and messed up the divine infinite with the names and forms and creates confusion of personal gods, apart from the present universal existence.
The Seeker need not go in to details about the authority of religion and scriptures. When he realizes his own invisible non-dual true substance of the Waking experience, all the confusion and doubts automatically dissolves by itself. The religion and scriptures are of no use for the truth seeking seeker. The reasons for this can be understood when the seeker completes reading this book.
The true goal is to know one’s own existence. The conceptual paths and practices creates many paths and variety of practice that will not lead the truth seeking mind towards its goal, rather it takes it to hallucinated idea of the self realization. The physical bound practices are bound to keep the seeking mind within the scope of its illusory experience as reality.
It is foolish to argue without understanding the truth of the true existence on bases of the god, religion and scriptures or sun moon and the stars. The invisible ‘self’ that is the Atman or consciousness that thinks itself as a man and perceives the world as a person is the cause of the misery and pain. The Seeker has to remove all the fetters and chains that are holding it as the physical body by accepting the true fact , that the invisible ‘Self’ that is the formless Atman or consciousness is the witness or the self.
The thirst of seeking is not for the material comforts but for the truth alone. Finally the truth seeking seeker will realize that there is no other practices other then realizing the truth of his true existence.
