Just as there are
many paths to a city, multiple religions of the world today has many paths
symbolize multiple paths but none lead towards the reality of one’s true existence. Each religion has its own idea
of god, haven, hell, sin, karma, birth, death and rebirth. But there is no religion in the world which
is without the idea of god.
When man and his
universe and his idea of god cease to exist without the mind, it is high time
for everyone one of us to verify:-
The man cannot operate himself
as a person and perceive the world without the mind because he and his experience of the world are within the mind. If man is not a man but
the man is mind then his whole experience of the world also becomes the mind. Therefore
mind is not limited only the physical entity but to the whole universe ,which
appears as Waking or dream in which the man perceives the world as an
individual. Therefore it is necessary to analyze the three states in order to
unfold the mystery of the mind through deeper self -search.
The mind is in the form of universe and soul is in the form
of Consciousness are one in essence. And
that essence is consciousness. The consciousness is the formless substance and
witness of the three states. Without the Consciousness, the three states cease
to exist.
The whole Waking
experience is like chariot. The charioteer is formless soul. The main purpose of the
spiritual journey lies in seeking the formless charioteer which is Consciousness.
The soul or Consciousness is within the three states as their formless substance and it is without the three states as their formless witness.
To seek the truth
is to know the truth. To know the truth means realizing the truth. Realizing
the truth means to abide in the truth. Consciousness the innermost self an unborn,
an unbecoming, an un-created, an uncompounded therefore there is no escape from
the duality if one thinks he is born, created and made.
But the one who
realizes the fact that, whatever he believed on the base of ‘I’ as self, that is
about his birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion on the standpoint of the Consciousness
which is the innermost self. The soul is
liberated from experiencing the illusory experience cycle of birth, life and
death only through non-dualistic wisdom.
The nature of the
deathless substance which is called Consciousness or spirit is the
unconditioned ultimate reality. Thus ultimate truth is only soul or
Consciousness rest is illusion created out of consciousness.
