Opinions, views and Judgments based on common sense actual and implied cannot be accepted as ultimate and final because common sense can be applied only in the realm of duality.



"Read and be wise" but only if the light of your own consciousness awakens the deep-seated understanding is an inherent quality of the soul, the innermost self.

The path of wisdom or Gnana is opposed to common sense because common sense egocentric whereas the wisdom is soul centric. Common sense is habitual and imitative. Common sense is very much required in practical life within the practical world, but in pursuit of truth sharpness to grasp and receptiveness soul centric intelligence and  attitude is very much necessary.

One can discover these best by considering the terms of praise or blame which are employed in behalf of common sense. When personal views are condemned as contrary to common sense is applied only in practical life within the practical world (realm of duality).  

v  Personal views are pronounced "unpractical", "too general" or "intangible."

v  Any person of common sense feels these to be terms of reproach.

v  It is implied, of course, that's to be agreeable to common sense, personal views must be "practical", "particular" and "tangible."


Opinions, views and Judgments based on common sense actual and implied cannot be  accepted as ultimate and final because common sense can be applied only in the realm of duality. In pursuit of truth opinions, views judgments derived from common sense has no value because the common sense is egocentric (form) whereas the ultimate truth is based on soul (formless).  

By becoming more and more intellectual one becomes more and more intoxicated to individuality. The intellectuality is limited to duality.  In realm of truth the intellectuality is replaced by non-dual wisdom.  There is nothing exist other than formless non dual existence. Therefore, there is   no individual to become sane or insane. There is no second thing exists, other than consciousness. 

Everything is one, that is, unity in diversity. The curiosity, urge cannot be imposed on others.  it has to sprout within. One need not become holy Shepard because the holy Shepard is within in to guide every seeker. If one is aiming to be a master, Guru or teacher, he will never reach his destination. One has to share his knowledge with the fellow seeker not to make them his followers but only direct them if they are interested to travel beyond form, time and space. 

It is foolish to impose our idea on others because everyone is not in same level of understanding.  Every one's inner work is on. When they are ripe enough they will understand, assimilate and realize on their own.  If they are ready and sharp enough they will grasp it instantly and they will reach their destination with lesser time and effort. Thus preaching, teaching is not wisdom, but by very careful reasoning, seeker has to determine the nature of reality. Thinking in right direction alone helps seeker determining the nature of reality.

The sugar cannot know itself its sweetness. The true self without ignorance is without the experience of duality or illusion. Thus one has to base on the sugar not on its sweetness. Without the sugar there is no sweetness. Similarly without the consciousness, the three states cease to exist as reality.
