Blinded with the illusion very few
grasp the non-dual truth. Only few escape from the web of illusion, only few
seekers are able to acquire self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Consciousness is
ultimate truth. Consciousness is Absolute is alone and real.
The waking is unreal; and the three states are non-different from Consciousness
because they are created out of consciousness.
Whatever is,
is Consciousness. Consciousness itself is absolutely homogeneous. All difference
and plurality are illusory." Consciousness is not a person. But if
one wants to call it God or Paramataman , then fine but it is neither a
person nor an entity nor thing.
The realization of truth is not intellectual understanding.
Self- Realization is about realizing the fact that, the self is not physical,
but it is the formless soul or consciousness.
Intellectual, logical, analytical perspective is based on the false
self, will not help the seeker to reach his non-dual destination. The truth is
beyond intellectual understanding and only the serious seekers who are free from
preconceived accumulated ideas can get there.
To make the mind still one has to have the perfect understanding
of the whole experience without mixing up with accumulated ideas from the
religion, scriptures and yogic ideas and theoretical knowledge based on the
logic.
The mind becomes still
only when one accepts the fact that consciousness is the true self, and rejects
‘I’ as self mentally. There is no use of
seeking truth on the base of ‘I’ which is not the self. This base can be rectified through deeper
Self-search through perfect understanding and assimilating. Though it may look
difficult at first gradually the serious seeker will get a hang of it, and will
start feeling the non-dual tranquillity.
This is possible only through constant mental effort through reflection
on the formless witness of the three states.
The word illusion is
used as a suggestion to the subconscious to bifurcate the real from the unreal.
Since truth pursuit is completely a mental journey, suggesting the right
suggestions to the subconscious is the only way. The word illusion scares many, but
there is no need to get scared, nothing is lost, only the ignorance will
disappear and one will be able to view and judge the birth, life and death on
the base of consciousness, thus the burden of the duality will be shifted from
form to formless thus one gets freedom from experiencing the duality which he
is experiencing as reality right here and now, consciously living within the
duality, until it disappears on its own and become one with the eternal
identity.
Soulcentric Inquiry and
reasoning reveal the fact that, neither that, neither physical body nor the ‘ego’ the
true self. The formless witness of the
‘I’ is the true self. The formless
witness is consciousness. The three
mental states of waking, dream and deep sleep are unreal, because they have no
permanence. Man and his experience of the world is the reality within the waking or dream. But the point is the waking is also
as unreal as dream. They come and go.
Thus one has to realize the fact that there must be a knower [witness]
of these three states which appear and disappear in succession.
