Only pretenders show such external works or claims. People who do not
understand the scriptures generally misinterpret all scriptures references to
the ‘indifference’ of the sage as meaning sitting idle, remote from worldly
concerns. "Though the scriptures speak of a direct knowledge of ultimate
truth by a study of the holy texts it does not become established..." It
is therefore not enough to say one understand the theories of Advaita; he may
grasp idealism and Mandukya but it is not enough.
The scriptural citations are not proofs. The ultimate truth
has to be proved without the scriptures. The ultimate truth is universal
truth and it does not belong to any religion. The religion causes
diversity in unity, whereas, the ultimate truth brings unity in
diversity.
It is impossible to bring unity in diversity through religion. The
religion is the cause of the wars and violence in the world. If ultimate truth
injected propagated to the mankind the fallacy of the religion is exposed and
people will know “what truth” is and “what is untruth” and find the universal
peace, which is the very nature of their true identity.
After Osho’s death,
people are realizing what he said about many things was right, but they do not
want accept it in the name of protecting their Religion and its culture. The
ultimate truth declared by Sri, Sankara – THE WORLD IS UNREAL
AND BRAHMAN ALONE IS REAL AND EVERYTHING IS BRAHMAN - has to be discovered by the seekers of truth
on their own by bifurcating religion, concept of God, Gurus, scriptures and yoga.
There is no need to condemn the any religion but one has to know
the fact that, it is meant for the mass mind set and it is not the means to Self-Realization
or Truth Realization. There is no need to study religious doctrine in
order to acquire Self-Knowledge.
There is no need to condemn the religion, concept of god and
scriptures or indulge in criticizing the religious gurus, but there is need
highlight how they are hindrance in realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the body is not self. The religion is based on the body as self
because it speaks of birth, death and rebirth whereas the self is birthless and
deathless because it is formless. The ignorance is cause of experiencing the birth,
life, death and the world as reality. Once
the ignorance is dropped than one becomes aware ‘what is truth ‘, and what is untruth.
There is no sense of or purpose in doer ship. The individual experiences are happening on
its own accord within the false experience.
Things do not happen because anyone is doing it. Since the body is mere an experience not an
experiencer. Therefore, the physical body is not the author of the doing. Thus,
body is not the author; the soul is the true author. Thus, man cannot take the authorship of the
doing, which is mere happening within the false experience. Thus, it is necessary to acquire the
self-knowledge in order to unfold the truth.
In the past some sages declared that the religion and yoga are meant for
preparatory stages, but they are not the means for Self-Realization. Once one is conditioned by religious and yogic
samskaras or conditioning than it becomes very difficult to drop them. Thus in the beginning itself one is made to
know the self is not form but formless it becomes easier for him to grasp,
assimilate and realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.
The mind cannot be stilled other than acquiring the non-dual wisdom.
People try all the mental and physical acrobatics to still the mind. Until they
are based on the body the thoughts will go on appearing. Until thoughts are
there the stillness is impossible. The thoughts will stop only when there is
perfect understanding through non dual wisdom. The thoughts cannot arise
without the form, feeling, perception, mental formation and consciousness. If
one of these is missing then the thought will not form.
To make the mind still one has to have the perfect understanding
of the whole experience without mixing up with accumulated ideas from the
religion, scriptures and yogic ideas and theoretical knowledge based on the
logic. The mind becomes still only when one accepts the fact that
consciousness is the true self, and rejects ‘I’ as self mentally. There
is no use of seeking truth on the base of ‘I’ which is not the self. This
base can be rectified through deeper Self-search through perfect understanding
and assimilating. Though it may look difficult at first gradually the serious
seeker will get a hang of it, and will start feeling the
non-dual Self-Awareness.
This is possible only through constant mental effort through
reflection on the formless witness of the three states.
The word illusion is used as suggestion to the subconscious to
bifurcate the real from the unreal. Since truth pursuit is completely a mental
journey, suggesting the right suggestions to subconscious is the only way. The
word illusion scares many, but there is no need to get scared, nothing is lost,
only the ignorance will disappear and one will be able to view and judge the
birth, life and death on the base of consciousness, thus the burden of the
duality will be shifted from form to formless thus one gets freedom from
experiencing the duality which he is experiencing as reality right here and
now, consciously living within the duality, until it disappears on its own and
become one with the eternal identity.
