Trevor Light Bown:-
Can you tell me what you think. ?
They all agree with your Formless Path teachings.
Dear Trevor,
Formless Path is neither a teaching nor a theory but it is mere guidance to
those who are seriously seeking truth. The ultimate truth can be grasped any time,
any age, if seeker has spiritual maturity and capacity to grasp to grasp it. It really
depends on his inborn natural capacity to understand and assimilate it.
FORMLESS PATH
is a self-examiner, to test oneself to discover how near to Gnana he has
approached and what progress has already been made on the path and what still
remains to be done. It sets up criterion
for self-judgement.
There are millions in search of truth but one in million will be able
to grasp it. I am just posting what
revels from the inner core. I just share to help the serious and sincere seekers. I am highlighting the obstacle in the
pursuit of truth, which blocks one from realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma
Gnana is not based on any teaching or teacher. Pursuit of truth is pursuit of
verification not pursuit of argument. Intellectual discussion is great hindrance in
pursuit of truth.
All the FP and IP blogs are verified truth. If one goes on reading all
his doubts and confusion will start clearing. It takes time to receptive to
Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is soul-centric knowledge
whereas all accumulated knowledge are egocentric.
Formless path highlights all the obstacles in the inner journey and how
to overcome these obstacles. All accumulated
knowledge is of no use in path of wisdom.
I am
not trying to prove my views, but it is for every seeker, who is in the path of truth to realize himself “What is truth, “and “What is untruth?” to
assimilate the Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana in lesser time and effort.
When one is unable to quench his
spiritual thirst from his guru or teaching he has to look elsewhere to clear
the cobwebs of his understanding and to move forward in his spiritual quest.
It is no use of arguing with someone who has faith in his belief system
because for him there can be no possible refutation of what he believes, so
rational argument is entirely useless. He clings to his belief so strongly that
he makes no distinction between the truth and his belief. One has to know the
fact that, god cannot exist without his existence. The truth does not depend on
gods’ existence but it entirely depends on man’s existence. Thus it is foolish to venture in knowing the
truth of gods existence without verifying the facts about his own
existence.
It is difficult for tradition-bound people to accept anything as truth
other than what they inherited from then in born and inherited conditioning and
parental grooming and their accumulated knowledge. Only intense urge to know
the truth and courage to accept the truth after verification with better
understanding one will be able to drop all his accumulated dross, which is the
main obstacle in Self-Realization.
As one moves deeper and deeper in his inner (mental) journey than he realizes
what is written FORMLESS PATH blogs are true and he will become more receptive
to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Sages of truth have always
insisted on practice rather than theory. This applies particularly to those who
want to know and realize ultimate truth or Brahman.
One has to know and realize his inner most self is Soul and identify it as his true
identity to find liberation from the bondage of the illusory experience of birth,
life, death and world(duality). The goal of our life is to find and
realize our identity with our soul, which is our innermost self.
