All organized religions have unequivocally claimed man for the life in the truth; thus it is sheer folly to fight in the name of religion and god.

People are making unlimited sacrifices and enduring unlimited suffering in the name of protecting their religion and god. They are therefore ignorant about the truth and incapable of understanding the ultimate truth, which is universal god. All organized religions have unequivocally claimed man for the life in the truth; thus it is sheer folly to fight in the name of religion and god.

It is time that humanity had a fresh vision of truth that the mind, which is in the form of universe, is myth and consciousness is the only thing that is real and that matters.  On the base of consciousness as self, the physical life is a vain and empty pursuit of illusory values.

Those who say we can I Am Brahman, or I Am one with Brahman, or approach Brahman, or realize Brahman-- these declarations are dualistic errors. First of all the” I Am” is not the self but the formless knower of the “I am” is the true self.   The true self is the one which is without the body and without the mind (universe).

One must make an effort to know the ultimate truth. Consciousness is there always. One has got it, there is nothing new to be acquired, only he has the receptive and sharpness to grasp and understand and assimilate it, when one becomes aware about it. But there is a difference between understanding and realization.

Mental effort is required for this understanding only, whereas once understood no special effort is needed to remember it.  Until then he only have an idea of consciousness, he only partially understand it. But once he  thoroughly grasp what it is and that all these things are consciousness , he  will then constantly find it present everywhere and in everything  in all the three states without further effort, because he  will perceive the ultimate truth  by understanding, even in the midst of worldly existence.

When there is only one thing (consciousness) known, then there is nothing to change, nothing to appear or disappear; when one speak of remembering or forgetting consciousness that implies he believes in the existence of something else, i.e. a second thing, which is to be remembered. That would show he have not known that all is one. But knowing it, there is no second, consequently no intermittent perception of consciousness, but a permanent effortless understanding that it alone is.

Becoming aware of the fact that, consciousness is the true self in the midst of waking experience through wisdom is self-realization.

For one who has become aware of the fact that, the true self is not physical but true self is formless consciousness, he  realizes that,  his body and his experience of the universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness. Due to ignorance of the true self he experiences the illusion (body + universe) as reality.  He is fully aware of the fact that all distracting wrong knowledge based on false self within the false experience is unreal. The unreality is created out of consciousness, which is ultimate reality. Thus he is fully aware of the fact that, everything is   consciousness and consciousness alone is real and all else is falsehood.

  Becoming aware of the fact that, consciousness is the true self in the midst of waking experience through wisdom is self-realization. By realizing the consciousness as true self one becomes free from experiencing the illusion as reality.  The waking experience becomes unreal on the standpoint of the formless true self.

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly the waking experience becomes unreal when one becomes aware of the fact that the waking entity is not the self.  

As long the illusion lasts the duality remains as reality. a Gnani is fully aware of the fact that his body and the his experience of the world are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  Thus he is fully aware of the fact that the consciousness is the true self and on the standpoint of the consciousness as self, the three states are unreal.

Thus the individual experiences within the waking experience are as real as dream.  Thus limiting the self to individual and trying to assimilate Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is like try making ice without the water. 

One cannot know the truth until one knows the formless stuff from which the waking/dream is created out of.

Like bubbles in the sea, the universe arises in consciousness. One has to know consciousness is the true Self and it is one. One sees the world within the waking experience but he is unaware of the witness of the waking experience as a whole.  The one which witnesses the dream as a whole without the physical apparatus, witnesses the waking experience as whole. the witness of the dream or waking experience is one.    On the standpoint of the formless witness the three states are not really there. the nature of the witness is formless  and non-dual.

One cannot know the truth until one knows the formless stuff from which the waking/dream is created out of. The goal of pursuit of truth is to realize the true self and the nature of the true self. 

The witness is changeless. However formless witness does not have to know that it is changeless since it is pure consciousness and it is in awareness of itself.  And therefore it need not have to know that it is changeless since it is ever pure.  The mind or universe being matter, by itself cannot know, since it is matter. The knower of the matter is not the matter but the formless consciousness.

The one who has to realize self is not the matter but the self   the witness, which is in the form of consciousness. This knowledge can be got deeper investigation   through reason based on the true self, which is consciousness.  One has to keep churning again and again until one become firm in his conviction. 

  Those who say one can become like Brahman, or one with Brahman, or approach Brahman, , realize Brahman--all these are dualistic errors.

When scriptures say: - "That thou art" the meaning is that one must make an effort to know that Atman itself is Brahman or ultimate truth. Atman is in the form of consciousness is there always. One has got it, there is nothing new to be acquired, only have the sharpness to grasp and understand it, when told about it. But there is a difference between understanding and realization. Effort is required for this understanding only, whereas once understood no special effort is needed to remember his understanding: until then he only has an idea of Atman, he only partially understands it. But once he  thoroughly grasp what it is and that all these things are Atman or consciousness, he  will then constantly find it present everywhere without further effort, because he  will perceive ultimate truth by understanding, even in the midst of worldly existence.

For when there is only one thing (consciousness) known, there is nothing to change, nothing to appear or disappear; when one speaks of remembering or forgetting consciousness that implies he  believe in the existence of something else, i.e. a second thing, which is to be remembered. That would show he has not known that all is one. But knowing it, there is no second, consequently no intermittent perception of consciousness, but a permanent effortless understanding that it alone is.

  The non-duality is the highest truth because it is impossible to contradict it. So long as there are two, one seeing another, man seeing something other than his-self, there is duality and not finality.

 No one has seen anyone else impose the limitations and illusions of the world on his mind. Therefore one must conclude that they are self-imposed. Self is infinite but in dream it impose the limitation on itself in the form of an animal which it sees there but which is only created out of consciousness. Similarly in waking it impose other limitations in the form of other objects and persons, everything is really consciousness the true self. Therefore constantly reflect and practice this exercise: viz. "Self is not limited by the body, but   the self, which is in the form of consciousness, pervades all the three states therefore it is   unlimited."  Thus it is erroneous to confine self to the physical entity alone.
