Second-hand knowledge of the
self-gathered from books or gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is
rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that.
Realize yourself, turning the mind inward. – Tripura Rahasya,
18: 89
The pursuit of truth is a mental
journey. Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning make one aware of what the truth
is and what is untruth and the subconscious will be able to reject the
untruth after knowing, what is Truth. Whatever prevails after rejecting the
untruth is the ultimate truth.
The seeker has to overcome all the
obstacles in pursuit of truth on his own . They are so many scholars who
mastered philosophy. It is impossible to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma
Gnana or Atma Gnana through theoretical philosophy. Because their
preaching is based on spirit and practices is based on ego or physical entity.
Experience of diversity (form) becomes oneness in deep sleep and Oneness
(formless)becomes diversity in waking or dream. Therefore, that which becomes
diversity (form), and that which becomes Oneness (formless)is not our physical
entity, because the physical entity is present only in waking and dream. The
one, which is aware of all the three states, is formless, apart and eternal
which is the soul. The soul itself is ultimate truth or Brahman or Buddha's
nature.
The Soul or
consciousness, the innermost Self is neither the waking entity , nor the dream
entity , but the self is formless soul, which witnesses the coming and
going of the three states without the physical apparatus.
The Soul, the innermost self is
neither the breath, nor the heart because it is ever formless. Soul or
consciousness, the innermost Self is in the form of the spirit or
Consciousness. The experience of duality is a mere mirage created out of
the Soul or consciousness or spirit. Thus there is no second thing other
than the consciousness. Therefore, holding anything else other than
the formless soul or consciousness as God is ignorance caused by
illusion.
The one which powers the illusion is
the soul or consciousness or spirit. Consciousness is ultimate truth
and ultimate truth is Brahman or GOD. We are talking of truth or god
in illusion. We argue discuss about the ultimate truth or Brahman within the
illusion. In reality there is nothing to argue, nothing to judge, because there
is nothing exists other than Consciousness. Thus consciousness is ultimate truth or
Brahman.
