Those who realize the fact that, the Self is neither the waking
entity nor the self is dream entity but the self is formless soul or consciousness
[formless] enter into the realm of non-dual Self-Awareness or Brahmic -Awareness
or Atmic -Awareness. . They are fully aware of the fact that, the soul or consciousness
is the innermost self and it pervades everywhere and in everything in the
universe, which is present in the form of the mind or ‘I’. the ‘I’ or mind or
universe appears as waking or dream and disappears back as formless soul.
Thus the mind (I) which is in the form of universe is mere
mirage created out of consciousness.
The mind (I) or universe is myth on the standpoint of consciousness,
which is the true self. Whatever the mind
(I) or universe or waking contains is myth.
Thus, the birth, life and death or pleasure and pain which are
happenings within the mind or universe are myth. Thus judging the truth on the base of the waking
entity or ego is erroneous.
The gross universe is merged into the
mental universe in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist
inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are
really mental: those who regard them as different or higher will remain
ignorant.
A Gnani is free from experiencing the illusion [body + universe]
as reality, he is fully aware of the fact that, his body and his experience of
the world as consciousness, which is ultimate truth.
People who are incapable to inquire and
reason are tending to follow some philosophy without verification. Therefore
the more ignorant they are the easier to get them into a religious fold. Religion
is so strong and popular because it makes no demand on the intelligent: It
simply requires belief in guru and his teachings.
It never strikes believer to doubt
whether his inherited belief system is true. They never use their reason
because they start and conclude that their belief system alone is true, because they never question.
Theological philosophers say God is a
perfect being, but they have never known God, never proved his existence; hence
their ascription of perfection to Him is purely self-imagined or assumed.
The scholastic or mystic argument is
endless. If one says "God is formless” another will reply, "No, God
has attributes! If one says "his religion is higher" another will
reply, "No, it is lower." It is impossible to get anywhere with such
talk because both sides are merely imagining because they think on the base of
the false self and false experience. When the self is not physical then
whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as person is bound to be
falsehood. Therefore, there is need to
know the fact that, the self is formless.
The paradise or heavens and hell are
mere religious injected imagination. When the self is formless then the experience
of birth, life death and the universe are mere mirage. But where people have got a little thinking
capacity, they begin to disbelieve through the contradictions of various
contending orthodox claims and descriptions.
For religion one can interpret texts as
he likes, in whatever way that pleases him, he simply imagine away.
Mundaka Upanishad:- The
study of the Vedas, linguistics, Rituals, astronomy and all the arts Can be
called lower knowledge. The higher Is that which leads to Self-realization. The
eye cannot see it; mind cannot grasp it. The deathless Self has neither caste
nor race, Neither eyes not ears nor hands nor feet. Sages say this Self is
infinite in the great And in the small, everlasting and changeless, The source
of life.
