The Seeker of truth should not to become attached to words as being in
perfect conformity with meaning, because Truth is not in the letters. When a
man with his finger-tip points to something, the finger-tip may be mistaken for
the thing pointed at; in like manner the ignorant, are unable even to the day
of their death to abandon the idea that in the finger-tip of words there is the
meaning itself. They cannot realize Ultimate Reality because of their intent
clinging to words which were intended to be no more than a pointing finger.
Words and their discrimination bind one to the duality or birth, life and
death; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual freedom. Meaning is
attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant
with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the
sticklers for particular words."
Consciousness without division is Ultimate Reality defies all
description or characterization." "All characterizations of
consciousness, in short, are intended in their experiential dimension to aid
those who are searching for ultimate truth or reality but have not yet realized
it."
"Human language has its source in phenomenal experience; hence, it is limited in its application to states of being that are beyond that experience; logic is grounded in the duality as it relates to the phenomenal order; hence, it is unable to affirm, without at the same time denying, what extends beyond that order." Whatever is expressed is ultimately non-Brahman, is ultimately untrue."
When the practical life within the practical world are
part of the illusion ,than the karma theory based on the false self within the
false experience is bound to be false hood. The karma theory and individual
conduct are nothing to do with self, which is ever formless.
Panchadashi: - The Atman is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
The karma theory is meant for those who are immersed in worldly life
thinking the individual life within the particle world as reality. In path of
truth the karma theory becomes a great obstacle in realizing the truth.
The reincarnation is based on the karma theory. The
karma theory is based on the birth, life and death. The birth, life and death
are reality only on the base of the false self. Thus whatever based on the
false self is bound to be false hood. By accepting karma theory is accepting
the falsehood as reality. Thus whatever is based on the birth identity will not
yield any truth. If one accepts the karma theory then it is impossible to treat
the world as illusion. All the pundits’ explanation of karma theory carries no
weight on realm of truth from the ultimate standpoint.
