Limiting the ‘soul or consciousness, the innermost self ’ to the waking
entity is cause of the ignorance.
Seeker of truth has to discover and realize
the fact that, ‘I’ is not the self but 'I' mind. And mind is in the form of universe. Universe appears
as Waking or dream. The waking or dream contains man and his experience of the
world. The waking experience is parallel
dream and dream is parallel waking experience. The three states are unreal on
the standpoint of the soul, which is the true self.
The religion and its idea of Gods are
based on base of false self (ego or waking entity), within the false experience(waking
) . Therefore, all the organized religion, scriptures and its concept of god
and all its doctrine and all the rituals path and practices are based on the
false physical self(ego or waking entity) .
Thus one becomes a prisoner of fallacies by accepting fallacies as
reality.
The man and world are part of the
Waking or dream therefore; man alone is not ‘I’ but the whole universe which appears as Waking/dream is ‘I’.
‘I’ is mind or universe or waking or dream. 'I' appear as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep . Absent of ‘I’ is absent of mind. absent of mind is absent of universe. Absent universe is absent of is absent of
waking or dream.
Mind is mere an
experience not experiencer. Therefore, to unfold the truth of the existence it
is necessary to find the formless witness of the three states rather than
believing the beliefs, which is based on the false self [ego or waking entity]
within the false experience [waking or universe] .
When the seeker start doubting about
his own inherited and accumulated knowledge
than only he will try to verify the validity of his accumulated
knowledge. If one has no doubts
than will not be interested in verify the validity
of his belief and accept anything as reality other than his inherited accepted
truth. People accept scriptures blindly and follow God without questioning
because they are conditioned to blindly accept their inherited belief. Thus
they become slaves of the belief system because they think it is blasphemous to
believe anything other than their inherited belief system.
In practical life within the
practical world, core of conducts and authority are needed. In pursuit of truth
they are to be regarded only as giving opinions, which may be consulted out of
curiosity, but are of no value as proof.
Many have the prejudice idea that
ultimate truth cannot be known. They do not want the subject to be
discussed." Gnanis never discuss with such persons, they remain aloof from
them.
Everyone thinks they know the truth
and assume what they know is right, what other knows is wrong." This
unfortunate vanity is common to all men and prevents realization. One must
begin by doubting his own knowledge, therefore.
Only when doubts begin to arise does
a man start in quest of Truth. Such doubts usually first take the shape of
asking why God sends or permits epidemics, earthquake, and war and individual
sufferings.
Verified Scriptural citations quotes of the
sages and wise can be quoted if they are helpful signposts for the inner
journey.
One may it introduce sages
quotations in order to show that they also will
reach the same conclusion if they indulge in deeper self-search.
Some people quotes scriptural citations and
wise men of the past very extensively it is because of their inferiority
complex and they depends to prove their point of view with the support of
others arrived conclusion. Thus it
proves the fact that, they has no conviction of their own because they have not
verified they think their logical
conclusions and intellectual speculation based on the false self or ego as truth.
Seeker of truth must go to the very
fundamentals, to the root of thinking, to "grasp the non dual truth and
not merely reading or hearing. The doubts arise to seeker whenever some one
says or claim some of their views. Seeker has to know what others says is truth
by whether the person’s views are egocentric or soul-centric. Whatever is based on the ego or waking entity
is bound to be falsehood because the waking experience itself is falsehood.
