- Most people have a complex "I know". Unless one gives up the “I know” business he can’t get rid of the ideas "which are full of contradictions" to the Truth seeker. But those who do not want the truth do not see the contradictions and are satisfied with their accepted truth.
The modern science is based on the physical based facts, whereas truth is based on facts of the true existence. The pursuit of starts with the physical facts, but carries its inquiry deeper. Seeker has to go more deeply into investigating his own existence facts he becomes a Gnani, automatically, merely by deeper reflection. Mind merges into soul ultimately and there is no other way for it.
Many people quote non-duality without understanding it really in its highest aspect. One who calls himself a Gnani, but whose philosophy religion and mere quoting scriptures is really by heart he thinks he is a Gnani. He does not know that what a scripture says is true or not because he is blindly accepted scriptures without verifying them and he quotes them as proof.
There are conflicting teachings in spiritual path and one gets confused as to which are true. People are not capable of knowing, which path is true path, because they do not know the proper test of truth. – FORMLESS PATH
Seeker after the truth should take to soul centric reasoning and discriminate between dual and non-dual experiences to realize what truth is and what is untruth.
The seeker who has intense urge in knowing the truth and sharp in grasping, skillful in understanding and assimilating without the scriptures, the one who has got these characteristics is the fit recipient of the self- knowledge.
People, who have not become firm in their power of reason, quote someone else as authority to support their reasoning because they have not got fullest confidence in their own powers.
When one is certain, he does not need any authority to support or confirm himself. There is no need for it. To appeal to others views, indicates his own reasoning is incomplete. Thus seeker has to do his own homework independently.
Gnanis quote the verified citation of scriptures or sages of the past just to inspire the seekers who hold scriptures are ultimate authority to show the scriptures or sages are saying the same thing.
The seeker must not tell a lie is the first requirement in pursuit of truth.” What he like for practical life it is not concerned with. Seeker has to keep his intuitions and instincts at a distance and he has to stick to known fact. To inquire, analyze and reason means to go to the very end of things.
Sharpness to grasp the truth is necessary in pursuit of truth. By merely hearing the truth mentioned they will grasp it.
Seeker has to analyze the three states; and he has to think consistently on it. Exercise his thinking faculty and inquire continually; discrimination is essential; this practice is the only way to understand, assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. –FORMLESS PATH
Nothing is born, nothing is destroyed. No duality, no likes and dislikes. There is no second thing exist other than awareness of the self. If this is perceived, than it is non-dual reality.
The conviction of the non-dual truth is seen to proceed from soul-centric reasoning, and it does arise neither by bathing in the holy rivers, nor by a doing Kriya yoga Pranayama or control of the vital force nor by glorifying gurus. –FORMLESS PATH
Karma means action. Action leads to believe the experience of birth, life, death and world as reality, not to perception of the Reality. The realization of Truth is brought about by discrimination and not in the least by individual conduct and act. –FORMLESS PATH
Having grasped, understood the ultimate truth intellectually, one should recover oneself, immersed in the illusory experience of ocean of birth, life, death and the world by means of devotion to right discrimination.
Seeker of truth, having commenced the path of the self- realization has to give up all physical based theoretical practices and try to realize the fact that, the waking experience in which the individual experiences birth, life, death and the world as reality is also is as unreal as the dream. By realizing the formless substance and witness of the three states as consciousness one becomes free from experiencing the duality as reality. –FORMLESS PATH
