Many people make interpretations based on assumptions. Reason based on the soul, the innermost self, takes one to the ultimate end. Yoga is not the means for self-realization
because yoga is based on the false self and Yoga cannot replace reason. Wisdom
does not require physical action. Wisdom requires only discrimination of real from the false.
For
Gnani regards his body and the world as an object. Formless Witness is like railway station and waking and dream are like train and deep sleep is like station alone without the train. The station is unaffected by the coming and
going of the train. Thus individual experiences of birth, life, death and the
world are happening within the waking or dream.
The self is nothing to do with the individual experiences happening waking
or dream.
There
is no man but mind. There is no universe but mind. There is no God but mind.
There is no waking but mind. The man and
his universe, his individual god and waking experience exist only when the
mind exist. The mind exists because of ignorance. The ignorance is there until
the illusion is experienced as reality.
The mind is myth. The world is myth the waking
experience is myth.
Consciousness
is that which knows everything, that which sees. Consciousness alone remains
after one gets rid of the ignorance.
Consciousness is only the seer; it is not Brahman that is an error. It becomes
Brahman only after soul-centric inquiry and reasoning.
Man
of truth is not cut off from practical life within the practical world, because
ultimate truth or Brahman is neither realism nor idealism; it is beyond
both these.
The
non-dualistic truth is a rational or scientific truth declared by Buddha and
Sri,Sankara centuries back but unfortunately the original essence of the
rational non-duality is lost because
mainly because of orthodoxy , adulteration and add-ons, which are based on the waking entity or ego,
which is the false self.
The seeker has first indulge in deeper self-search without scriptures
and understand assimilate the truth independently to realize the real
non-dualistic essence, which leads to self-awareness. Thus independent
thinking, reasoning and judgment is very much necessary in pursuit of truth.
