Past, present and
future means time. Time cease to exist without the form and space. Form, time
and space exist together and disappear together. Past,
present and future are within the waking experience. The past, present and
future of the dream gets over when waking takes place. The past, present and
future do not exist in deep sleep. The
one which witness these three states is formless and apart. The past is mental and
the future is also mental.
When we constantly observe
and be conscious of the formless witness, we become aware of the fact that the
physical body and the world are also are consciousness, and realize the fact
that everything is consciousness in the midst of the waking experience. Since
we exclude the body and the world as a matter, and view and judge the worldview
on the base of the matter [body] as self, we remain in ignorance the reality.
Thus just think the deep sleep as the true nature of the self [ formless soul
of consciousness ], where the body, ego
and the world are totally absent, then try to view and judge the waking or dream
on the standpoint of the deep sleep as self, which is formless soul.
If we think deeply in this line, we can ‘get
the perfect understanding what is truth and what is untruth. The biggest
obstacle in the truth pursuit is, we are fully immersed in the practical life
within the practical world within the waking experience and we consider it as
reality. But we have to make sure our
individual experience is part of the waking experience, and waking experience
is mirage on the standpoint of our formless eternal identity. Thus once we know the formless witness as our
true self than the birth, life and death are mere mirage. The mirage is created
out of consciousness, thus everything is consciousness and nothing exist other than
consciousness.
Our body and the world
cease to exist without the consciousness because there are created out of consciousness
but consciousness can exist with or without
the body and the world.
