The mind (universe) rises
from the formless soul, which is in the form of consciousness. The sense of ‘I’
rises as mind. The mind is in the form of the universe. Thus ‘I’ is the mind or
the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep
sleep. Holding sense of ‘my’ limited to
the ego is the cause of separation. It makes one feel, he is an individual separate
from the world and the world existed prior to him, and he is born in it afterwards.
Until one has this conviction, it is very difficult to grasp the non-dual truth.
Thus it is necessary to realize the self is neither the ego nor the world but is the witness of the ego, body and world together. The true self is formless witness of the three states. And it is also the formless substance of the three states, because without self the three states are non-existent.
In reality the substance and witness are one in essence. The essence is consciousness and it is the ultimate truth. The formless self is the witness of the three states. And the formless witness is within the three states. And it is without the three states. And also it is apart from the three states. It is within the three states as their formless substance. And it is without the three states as their formless witness. And it is also apart from the three states because it's not an entity or identity within the three states.
Lots of patience, humility is needed in pursuit of truth. Arguments on their point of view are the greatest hindrance in pursuit of truth. Thus holding any teacher and teaching or scriptures are the greatest hindrance in pursuit of truth.
Egocentric yardstick based on the accumulated knowledge is the greatest hindrance in pursuit of truth.
Devotional path, yogic path and the path of love and humanity are meant for the practical life within the practical world and they are nothing to do with the path of truth or wisdom, because in the realm of truth the practical life and the practical world are mere illusion. Thus mixing them with path of truth or wisdom is like mixing oil into water.
Intellectuality is based on individuality and individuality is egocentric. Thus the religious path, yogic path and intellectual path are great hindrances in pursuit of truth.
The Seekers of truth have to respect everyone’s views and wisdom without arguing but politely answering or keeping silence with others who try to cause disturbance with their egoic attitude. And never indulge condemning others who do not agree with each other’s view.
Keeping internal (mental) distance with the people who indulge in perverted arguments and provokers is very much necessary in pursuit of truth. The inner calmness has to be gained which is very much necessary in pursuit of truth to move inward.
