Great spirits have always
found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it
when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly
and courageously uses his intelligence. -- Albert Einstein
Mind is in the form of universe. Universe appears as waking experience. Mind (universe) becomes one with consciousness(formless soul) in deep sleep. Mind has emanated from and in consciousness. The individual experiences are reality within the waking or dream. Individuality ceases to exist without the waking or dream. The one which witnesses the dream is not waking entity and one which witnesses the waking is not dream entity. The one which witness the deep sleep experience is neither dream entity not the waking entity. Then what is it that is aware of these three states, which come and go in succession.

The one which witness the deep sleep experience is neither dream entity not the waking entity. Then what is it that is aware of these three states, which come and go in succession.
It is the consciousness (soul) which is aware of all the three states,
which comes and goes in succession. Thus it is the witness of the three states.
It is also is the substance of the three states because it pervades in
everything and everywhere in all the three states. Thus consciousness is the
common essence in dual and nondual experiences.
The one, who discovers, understands and assimilates and realizes the
essence as ultimate truth becomes free from experiencing the duality as
reality. The consciousness exists with
or without the duality. The birth,
life, death and the world are within the mind or duality. And the consciousness
is the formless substance witness of birth, life, death and the world (mind).
Consciousness (soul) is apart from the birth, life, death and the world, because it is not an object within the duality, but the duality (waking or dream) is an object to it. When one becomes aware of the fact that, the formless substance and witness are one in essence, then there is unity in diversity.
Where there is duality, one sees another, smells another, tastes another, speaks to another, hears another, touches another, thinks of another, knows another. But where there is unity, one without a second that is the world of consciousness. Knowing consciousness as ultimate truth is the supreme goal of life. Those who do not seek this Supreme goal live on in the false experience, experiencing it as reality.
The ignorance is ever present in duality, because the duality [mind] is the product of ignorance. To get rid of the ignorance is not possible without knowing the cause of the ignorance. Judging on the base of the ignorance and concluding on the base of ignorance and propagating it as truth with ornamental words, is misdirecting others from pursuit of truth. The point here is a parson and the world are within the appearance, but the person is not aware of knower of the appearance, which comes and goes as mind. The inquiry is more powerful then theories.
The seeker of truth wants to know; how to know the mind is mirage, which is only appearance. It is possible only through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning based on the formless self. Therefore rectifying the seeking base is very much necessary in order to know “what is truth?” and “What is untruth?
It is easy to say the body and the world as illusion, but it is difficult accept them as illusion. It is very difficult to accept the body and world as illusion, on the base of false self, because man and his experience of the world exist within the illusion/mind. Until and unless one inquiries into the nature of illusion/mind, and realize the fact that, man is false self , but the formless soul, is the true self , it is impossible to accept them as illusion.
Only when one indulges in deeper inquiry he becomes aware of the fact that mind is not within the physical body but the physical body including the universe are within the mind. The same way as the dream man and dream universe, were within the dream [mind], the waking man and waking universe are within the waking experience [mind]. Thus one has to trace the knower of the three states which appear and disappear in succession, in order to realize the appearance is mere mirage and the formless knower of the mirage is real and eternal. Thus, whatever exists without the appearance is consciousness without the ignorance/duality.
