All
is consciousness. The whole universe is
consciousness. From consciousness, universe comes. When universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form,
time and space.
All biblical insights lead to non-dual
Self-awareness. Self-Awareness is Christ consciousness. Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana in biblical
sense is Truth or Christ. The truth was not written down but
was imparted orally to the chosen few.
John 8:32
You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Jesus said:- "Know what is in front of your face, and what is
hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS- Saying 5)
It means one has to know the world which confronts him confronts to
realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is
Spirit [father].
Sri, Sankara said : one must first know what is before
him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives
up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.
[63. Without
causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the
Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word
Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.
Sri, Sankara said in (VC)
65. As a treasure
hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction,
excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and
(finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name,
so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects,
is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by
reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.
"Jesus said:-"Those who seek
should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be
disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over
all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)
"The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, Not in a mansion of
wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and God is there, Lift a stone and
you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)
1.According to the New
Testament, Jesus said to his disciples: ‘To you it has been given to know the
secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that
seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand’ (Luke, 8:10).
While speaking to the multitude in a veiled manner, ‘privately to his own
disciples he explained everything’ (Mark, 4:34), and advised them not to ‘throw
your pearls before swine’ (Matthew, 7:6).
2. According to Clement of
Alexandria (150-215 CE), ‘Mark’ preached three different gospels. The New
Testament version was intended for ‘beginners’, but there was also a Secret Gospel of Mark
for those who were ‘perfected’, i.e. initiated. Clement advised one of his
students that the existence of this secret gospel should be denied ‘even under
oath’, for ‘the light of the truth should be hidden from those who are mentally
blind’. The third gospel was so mystical that it was not written down but was
imparted orally to the chosen few (JM 120-1).
When the seeker indulges in deeper self-search than he realizes the
fact that, the experience of birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion
created out of spirit or Brahman or Christ, the innermost self.
