FORMLESS PATH -FACEBOOK POSTINGS




  • Santthosh Kumaar
    Only when the seeker realizes the fact that, the soul is the true self, he realizes the fact that, whatever it has seen, known, believed, experienced is mere mirage. Thus the experience of the birth, life, death and the world are part of the mirage. Therefore basing the truth on the waking entity or ego entity is erroneous. There is neither creation nor creator on the standpoint of the soul, which is the innermost self.

    Therefore, the cause and effect has no meaning on base of the soul the innermost self.

    Man has the great attachment to his individuality, but he is fully ignorant of the fact that, he and his experience of the world are reality with in the false experience. Once he becomes aware of the fact that the three states are unreal on the base of the soul, which is the innermost self, he becomes aware of the fact that, the individuality is part of the illusion.

    It is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge with religious belief, god, guru glorification, and scriptural studies. Religion,yoga are barricades in unfolding the truth. Religion, god, guru and scriptures yoga are based on the waking entity or ego, which is the false self within the false experience . Deeper self -search reveals the fact that, the waking experience itself is falsehood , therefore whatever is based on the waking entity is bound to be falsehood. Thus, whatever based on the waking entity or ego cannot transport the seeker to reality, which is beyond duality.

    It has been clearly told in the Shruti: ‘Know that One and give up other talks’ [Mundaka Upanishad] and ‘A wise man should restrain his speech and keep it within the mind’. [Katha Upanishad]

    A wise man, having experienced Brahman as his Self, should keep his higher intuitive faculty (prajna) united with Brahman. He should not oppress his mind with many words, for they are a mere waste of energy’. [Brihadaranyaka Upanishad]

    An intelligent person, who has studied the scriptures and has practised what they enjoin should discard them after experiencing Brahman as his Self, just as a man discards the husk when he has found the grain’. [Amrita-Bindu Upanishad]

    Knowledge is not brought about by any other means than Vichara, just as an object is nowhere perceived (seen) without the help of light. 11 Aparokshanubhuti - Sri , Sankara.

    When Sri, Sankara says- Knowledge is not brought about by any other means than inquiry, then why should one indulge in searching the truth in the Vedas.

    There is need to study the scriptures. One has to self-search the truth and realize it without the scriptures. And then when he reads the scriptures he becomes aware the scriptures are also saying the same thing but everything is misinterpreted.

    That is why Sri, Sankara says in VivekaChudamani :-
    58. Loud speech consisting of a shower of words, the skill in expounding the Scriptures, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar, but are no good for Liberation.

    ZEN Satori is not highest Advaitic or non-dualistic Gnana, because it comes as flashes, it does not depend on seeing the world, and does not depend upon mental sharpness so much as intuition. Zen Buddhists are only mystics--they do not offer proof. How is their main method different from that of Christian mystics, Hindu mystics, all of whom do not seek to prove by reason, but by "I know," intuition?

    The 'Void' of emptiness of Buddhism is only a stage. It cannot be ultimate. It says there is really nothing. The mistake of Hinayana Buddhism is to jump to assumptions where Buddha kept silent.

    Buddha gave up his austerities of yoga as impossible and useless. [Page.70/71 "Buddhism in Translation” by Warren]

    Thus Buddha got enlightenment only after he gave up Yoga. Unless one exercises his reason--there is no chance of getting truth.

    When one says "Nothing is" what is the meaning of "is"? "Nothingness” is something which exists: one cannot prove that consciousness does not exist.

    Zen is quite alright in mentioning non-duality: it is the nearest to true nonduality Advaita, but nevertheless it is still inferior because it fails to prove non-duality, it illogically gives koan exercises as a means of attaining That which is beyond attainment, because always here, and it talks of insight or intuition to see Reality when sight involves a second thing, duality.

    Zen gives a high important place to meditation practice. The truth is that Zen advocates the necessity of meditation for those of its adherents who cannot grasp the absolute truth.

    ZEN is also on this lower stage of Yoga, because it depends on flashes of Intuition gained by meditation, not by reasoning.

    Buddhist Idealism: speaks only of ideas. But they are unaware of the knower of these ideas? It is a thought. The thinker of these thought are part of the duality without the thinker there are no thoughts. Without form there is no thinker.

    Buddha kept silent, refusing to answer questions on the ultimate. Therefore he was the wisest man in refusing to commit himself.

    Non-dualistic truth is supreme truth; all dualistic systems hold false self as real self and false experience as reality. Non- dualistic wisdom is culmination of all systems including theistic nonduality. The true non-dualist will not quarrel and argue with any theoretical philosophy because he is fully aware of the fact that, this orthodox theistic non-dualistic scholars or pundits like Dualist sages could not distinguish between ‘I’ and ‘formless witness.’ The 'I' was the witness. Their highest was the Jiva. One is so much attached to the 'I' that he do not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again one is unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real witness.

    People who argue there is nothing beyond the universe; there is nothing other than the matter; that the body was the man; and death was end of all. According to them there is no truth other than the practical life within the practical world, which they hold as reality. Their only agenda is as long as they live in the world live happily with all the pleasant things of life, who can demonstrate that there is something left after the physical death. Beg, borrow or steal – but live happily is their mantra.

    There are also people who believe strongly there was a spirit which defied the ravages of time, which cannot be confined in space; that spirit transcends the limits of this universe in which the body exists.

    How one can decide what is truth, when he is bound by birth, life and death or form, time and space?

    The consciousness is the innermost self. And nature of the consciousness is formless and nondual. One should realize the consciousness as whole universe without parts. To describe nonduality as a system is erroneous because the dual and nondual is the nature of the self. Duality is illusory nature of the self and non-duality is real nature of the innermost self, which is consciousness. Ultimate truth cannot be confined into a narrow set of ideas.

    As one goes deeper in self-search one becomes aware of the fact that the self is neither the waking entity not self is the dream entity but self is formless substance and witness of the three states. And the formless substance and witness of the three states are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. If the formless substance and witness are one in essence, than there is second thing can exist, other than consciousness? Thus consciousness alone is real and all else is mere illusion created out of consciousness, which is the innermost self.
