Humanity is part and parcel of the illusion. ‘I’
and ‘I Am’ is the centre of physical existence. Until ‘I’ or ‘I Am’ is there
the universe or mind is there, until the universe is there we all exist
experiencing the duality as reality.
The communication happens within the duality and the
duality is not reality from the ultimate standpoint. When the true self is not
limited to ‘I’ or ‘I am’ but it pervades the whole physical existence or
universe then how one can refer ‘I or ‘I am’ which cease to exist without the
form or universe. Thus the self is
within the ‘I’ but it is without the ‘I’.
Holding ‘I’ or ‘I am’ as self will lead one towards intellectual speculation
thus, it has to be avoided. Ultimate truth has be grasped and realized
mentally and it is possible when we rectify our reasoning base from form to
formless.
Panchadashi:- The
Atman is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and
the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in
a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with
complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal
their absence.
------
Everything exists when wisdom dawns but there
unreal nature is revealed. There is
self-awareness that is A Gnani is fully aware that, his own body and his
experience of the universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness. Thus
the form and names has no value because they are part of the mirage.
The real is the consciousness from which the whole
universe is made. Thus through wisdom one
reaches the stillness of the self, which is formless non-dual in its nature.
Thus the one is aware of the material [consciousness] not the things [mirage] made out of the material.
As gold is important material in making ornaments,
so, consciousness is the material is essential for the three states to arise.
Without the gold remains as gold when it is not ornaments. In self- awareness
the consciousness remains in its formless non-dual true nature in the midst of
duality.
