Soul(Consciousness) is the root element of the Mind( universe). From the Soul (consciousness) the Mind(universe) comes into existence. In the Soul (consciousness) the Mind(universe) resides. and into the soul(consciousness) the Mind(universe) dissolves . the soul(consciousness) is the parent of all that exist as illusion or universe. --FORMLESS PATH
Man and his experience of the world are within the waking or dream.
Waking experience disappears as the whole, in deep sleep as formless non-dual
substance. ‘Ego’ or “physical self is limited only to the Waking or dream. The
waking and dream are unreal on the standpoint of soul as self. Everyone
experiences the duality as reality because they take the physical self to be
the real self. This has to be investigated and verified to understand and
assimilate the self-knowledge.
Deep sleep gives the clue to the non-dual experience in which the whole
experience of duality is absent. There is no burden and bondage in deep sleep.
However in waking experience the burden and bondage, sense of duality and
gravity appears.
The physical self is totally absent in
deep sleep. The seeker has to analyze the three states through inquiry,
analysis and reasoning on the true base, to realize the fact that, the witness
of the three states is formless and apart.
Whatever manifested as Waking or ‘dream
will arise and subside, like a sunrise and sunset. The desultory manifestation
cannot be real, therefore mind/ waking is mere illusion. Man and the world are
reality within the waking experience but the waking experience itself is myth.
Therefore the physical existence is myth.
The religionists and intellectuals who expound knowledge believe that the
world is first and people were born in it afterwards. So long as this
conviction is there, they cannot expound the self-knowledge because the waking
experience itself is mirage therefore the birth, life, death and world are part
of the mirage and has no value in the
realm of the truth.
Only within the Waking or dream
the sense of separation is experienced. Prior to appearance of the Waking experience,
there was neither the person nor the world. The duality ceases to exist without
the waking or dream experience. Only when the Waking or dream appears the
person and the world is present. In deep sleep it has subsides and becomes one
with the formless substance.
Only in Waking or dream the waking or dream entity is aware of itself and
the world. Therefore, seeker has to investigate to overcome the doubts and
confusion through by understanding the fact that waking or dream entity are
false self within the false experience. The true self is the formless substance
and witness of the three states.
--
1
How one does comes to know that he exists?
2
Because of what?
3
What is it that experiences or witnesses the Waking
state, when the physical body and the world is within the Waking state?
4
If ‘Self’ is not the physical then who witnesses the
three states which comes and goes in succession?
5
If the witness is not the physical then what is it
that is aware of the experiences of all thee states?
6
What is that I aware of the dual and nondual
experiences?
7
Prior to appearance of the experience of duality and
disappearance of experience of duality what exists? If nothing exists then what
is it that is aware of that nothingness where there is no second thing exists?
8
What is it?
It is very much necessary to inquire the nature of the mind to unfold the
mystery of the existence.
Only when the appearance of the mind one becomes aware that he is the
person perceiving the world. Physical existence is limited only to the Waking or
dream. Mind ceases to exist in deep sleep. The question is prior to appearance
of the mind; duality was non-existent only there was non-dual existence.
Only after appearance of the mind, man and his experience of the world are
present in it. Therefore,
1
What is it that becomes mind and subsides as soul/spirit?
2
Why the individuality, personality and separateness
are only present when the mind is present?
3
Why there are wants, needs, desire, hope pleasure,
pain birth, and death only when the mind is present?
4
Why the sense of duality disappears when there is no
mind?
Therefore, through investigation is very much necessary to unfold the
truth. In preliminary inquiry, one becomes aware of the fact that ‘I’ is not
the physical. Therefore, it is erroneous to search the truth on the base of the
physical self. Deeper penetration
through Deeper self-search reveals:- is very much necessary to unfold the
truth.
