There
is no difference between the dream and the waking states except that the dream
is short and the waking long. Both appear in the form of the mind [I]. The true
self is beyond the waking, dream and sleep states. The true self is the formless substance and
witness of the three states, which is in the form of consciousness. Thus consciousness is real and eternal and
all the three states are mere mirage created out of consciousness.
Since
people accepted whatever they have read and heard as truth they do not bother
to verify the validity of their accepted truth they will remain ignorant of
the reality of their true existence.

People
think the state of realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or
becoming anything, such ideas are mere speculation based on the ego. How can
one simply being oneself without knowing the true self. After realizing the
fact that the self is no form but formless then only it is possible to
transcend and become one with it.
One has
to discover the fact that, the self is not form but self is formless before
making such statements. Just making
statement surrender to the self without knowing what is self is and speculating
about the bliss is mere hallucination.
Using with ornamental words and playing with emotions of the seekers in
the name of enlightenment will lead one to hallucination not wisdom.
Our selfishness, ignorance, anger, attachment, guilt, and other disturbing thoughts are part of the waking experience. Waking experience is mere mirage and it is temporary, not permanent and everlasting. Since the cause of our pain and pleasure are temporary, our experience pain and pleasure are also temporary. When one becomes aware of the permanent the waking experience will no longer remains as reality. as the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place the waking also becomes unreal when one become aware of the fact that the waking entity is not the self.
