The observation of the three states will depend upon the
medium through which the observer views it. Infact, one’s mental and
intellectual conditions will determine the dual and non-dual experiences
observed and experienced. The worldly
person viewing the three states will see it differently from the Gnani viewing
the same three states. Each one
interprets the three states that he observes in term of his existing knowledge.
A Gnani sees consciousness in everything
and everywhere. Because he is fully aware of the fact that, the consciousness
pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states, therefore he has
the firm conviction that everything is consciousness and no second thing exists
other than the consciousness. Then only unity in diversity in understanding is
possible.
The seeker has to perfect and gain an experience of viewing
and judging on the base of the beyond transcend consciously all
his identification with the false entity within the false experience in order
to overcome the illusion or duality. The perfect seer sees consciousness (innermost
self) in everything and everywhere all the time.
There are many paths have come into existence in the
name of Self-Realization. Every belief
system believes that each human being embodies a spark of the divine, and that
fanning into the shining fire spiritual realization is the meaning and purpose
of human life. But spirituality is not based on the belief but discovering the
truth of the whole universe and man’s existence. Religious
and Yogic truth and scientific truth are individual truth based on the false self-(waking entity or ego)
within the false experience. Individuality has no value in the realm of
ultimate point of view. Therefore,
realization of true self is necessary in order to realize the ultimate truth,
which is free from all the diversity, which is present in the form of
universe. The universe ceases to be real
from the ultimate point of view. The ignorance is the cause of experiencing the
unreality as reality. Therefore truth realization is necessary to unfold the
mystery of the universe, which appears to be real from the physical point of
view.
Universe is
reality on the base of ego, which is the false self. It is unreal on the stand point of the
consciousness, which is the true self. Universe is mere mirage from the ultimate
point of view. Man perceives the world
within the universe; therefore his existence is limited to the universe, which
is in the form of mind. Consciousness is
real because it is permanent, but universe, which is in the form of mind,
appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep is
impermanent (non-duality). Thus mind is not absolute and eternal like
consciousness itself. People stuck with the reality of the world, so they take
it as real. Once they take their physical existence to be real then they have
accepted the false self as real self and false universe as reality. Thus their judgement is based in the false
self, will keep them within the threshold of duality. Thus the ultimate truth
lies beyond duality.
