If self is not a form but formless
than our judgment and reason and conclusion has to be based on the formless
than only it is possible to acquire Self –knowledge or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana. Since our judgment is based on the waking
entity, which is the false self within the false experience, we end up with all
sorts of doubts confusions. It takes a long time to rectify the reasoning a
base subconsciously.
The look of an object will depend
upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and
intellectual conditions will determine the phenomenal universe observed and
experienced.
The botanist viewing a flower will
see it differently than a nature lover viewing the same flower. Each one
interprets the object that he sees in terms of his existing knowledge. Gnani knows his body, ego and his experience
of the world as consciousness whereas the meditator or yogi thinks he is
experiencing the bliss because of his physical effort. When the waking
experience itself is a false hood whatever experienced on the base of waking
entity is bound to be falsehood.
A man of perfection is one who has realized the fact
that, the true self is within the three states but it is without the three
states. And he has a firm conviction the
true self is the formless substance and the witness of the three states. Thus your true identity is without the body
and the universe and unaffected and witnesses the three states as passing
show. Thus when you become soul centric
then your egocentric experience is mere mirage. Thus one becomes fully aware in
the midst of duality the waking life is the mere passing show. A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that, the
substance and witness of the mirage are one in essence and that essence is
consciousness. Thus there is no second
thing exist other than consciousness. Other than consciousness all else is
illusion.
Experience is possible only
where there are two (duality). Thus, where there is an experience [duality] unity
in diversity is impossible. Therefore,
only a realization of truth is necessary to reach the experience- less
(non-duality) state. Thus whatever
experienced as a person within the waking experience (duality) is
falsehood. Thus it is necessary to
realize the fact that, how the three states are falsehood and on what
standpoint.
