When the self is in its
formless non dual true nature which is
identified as deep sleep than the whole Waking or dream ceases, and it is in its undisturbed peaceful non dual true nature , till it wakes
up again and resume experiencing the restless and peace less Waking or dream.
Life within the waking or dream is
filled with either pain or pleasure. There is no permanence thus one is most of
the time restless and miserable. Thus duality is the cause of restlessness
misery. Absent of duality absent of restlessness and misery.
When the seeker confines the self only to the physical body, causes a sense of duality, within the
waking or dream. The fact is that, the ‘I’ is not limited to the physical body,
but ‘I’ is the entire experience of the Waking or dream which contains physical
body and the world.
Therefore, ‘I’ is not only the
physical body, but ‘I’ is the whole experience of Waking or dream. This cycle of
waking, dream and deep sleep is the cycle of birth, life and death . Tracing to find the formless knower or the witness
of the three states is the goal of the pursuit of truth.
The yogi and mystics they are based
on the conceptual religion, conceptual gods and scriptural authority which are
based on the ‘I’ which is false self. People too are not aware of the fact,
they do not think beyond the experience of the three states. Therefore, it is
very much necessary to verify the facts before proceeding in pursuit of truth,
to know whether self is physical body (waking entity) or the self is formless soul.
What is it that witnesses the dreams
without the physical body? If the dream
is witnessed without the physical body (waking entity or ego) then what is it that is aware
which is not the physical body.
Therefore, there must be a formless witness of the dream. This formless witness is the same witness
that that witnesses the waking and deep sleep. Therefore, the three states are
witnessed by one and only formless witness.
The three states merge into the
mental state, in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist
inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are
mental: people who regard them as reality are deceiving themselves.
