Breath, body and the world are one in essence. That essence is formless
consciousness. Consciousness (soul) is
the innermost self. Breath, body and the
world are part and parcel of the illusion. By holding the breath (vital force)
as self, one cannot get rid of the ignorance.
Without getting rid of the ignorance wisdom will not dawn. Wisdom dawns only
when one realizes the form, time and space are one in essence. –FORMLESS PATH
Consciousness (soul) is the ultimate cause of the duality. The spirit and the matter seem to be opposed to each other in duality, but in reality there is no duality because the matter is mere mirage (mind or universe or waking) created out of the spirit (soul or consciousness) .
All the forms and names
are nothing but spirit. The sense of
form, time and space are within the duality. All dualistic experiences are
reality within the duality but the duality is mere mirage from the ultimate
standpoint. Thus nothing is born,
nothing lives and nothing dies in non-dual reality. Thus the universe, where the birth, life and
death takes place is mere mirage created out of consciousness. The
consciousness alone is real without the mirage.
The thought of the witness (soul) comes only when one
inquires in to witnessed (mind or universe). A person sees the world within the
waking or dream. The witness is not the person who sees the objects and things
within the waking or dream. The witness
is that which witnesses the coming and going of the three states, without the
physical apparatus. This has to be
grasped mentally.
Religions place God as the unknown reality. Everyone has a
different idea of God. Every man has a different idea of truth. Hence there is
need of definition before study.
The fallacy of religionists appeal to scripture lies in the
varying and conflicting interpretations of the same scripture which different
men feel entitled to give or hold.
The yogi or mystic who sees or experiences something in his
meditation which he takes as the highest, but he is fully unaware of the fact
that , the waking experience itself is
falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.
Thus all his experiences are part and parcel of that falsehood. Thus how his visions and experiences and
Samadhi based on the false entity within the false experience can be ultimate
truth. When the self is not the form but
the self is formless consciousness then all the theories and experiences and visions
based on form as self is bound to be falsehood.
Thus whatever based on the form as self has to be negated mentally.
Whatever prevails without the form, name and experiences is ultimate truth.
Only in duality one imagines the existence of god. When the
duality is not reality then whatever one imagines and experiences within the
duality is falsehood because the duality is reality only when one considers the
self as form but deeper inquiry revels the fact that the self is not the form
but the self is formless. Thus imagining
and accepting the theories based on the form as self is cause of ignorance. And
ignorance is cause of experiencing the duality as reality. Duality is cause of
accepting the birth, life, death and the world as reality. Thus getting rid of the ignorance with
deeper introspection and realizing the fact that, the self is not form but self
is formless consciousness, is the only way to overcome the illusory experience
of duality, in the midst of duality.
