It is better to know the knower of the mind. With what one knows whether
the mind is there or not. Something other than the mind has to be
there to know, whether the mind is there or not. What is it?
If there
is no mind then the whole universe ceases to exist. If the whole universe
ceases to exist than the waking experience ceases to exist. Waking experience
includes the person and his experience of the world, is non-existent. How can
one say the mind and no mind? Therefore it is better to know what is the mind.
And what is the substance of the mind? And what is the source of the mind?, to
unfold the mystery of the mind or “I’.
A deeper
self - search reveals the fact that: - Mind is in the form of the universe.
The universe appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep. The
individual experiences of birth, life, death and the world are within the
waking experience. The dream is a parallel waking experience and waking
is parallel dream.
Deeper
self-search reveals the fact that, the, self is neither the waking entity nor
the self is the dream entity but the self is formless soul, which witnesses the
coming and going of the three states in succession without the physical
apparatus. This has to be mentally grasped and assimilated to realize the
formless soul, the innermost self is nothing to do with the three
states. On the standpoint of the three states, the three states are mere illusion.
A permanent view of the world as unreal can come only after soul centric
reasoning; such knowledge cannot change. Were the seeker who is sufficiently
sharpness he could grasp the unreal nature of the world by soul-centric
reasoning alone. To know the whole truth, one must know the whole
universe, otherwise he gets only half-truth.
To
think once own body and his experience of the world is an illusion is a
difficult matter, unless one realizes the self is not physical but it is
formless soul it is difficult to have a glimpse of truth.
When one
realizes the fact that, the self is not physical but the formless soul,
naturally the body and universe becomes an illusion.
The mind
(universe) is emanating from the soul (consciousness) means the mind is being
effect from consciousness is not different from it. Deeper analysis shows it.
Analysis needs deeper thinking and reasoning. The mind is whole universe thus
it has a form. But where is the form in consciousness (soul) because
consciousness is like an ocean and mind is like a wave. The universe is
same consciousness, as the ocean produces the wave, so the consciousness
produces the mind (universe).
The moment
one knows the mind (universe) is consciousness, and then there is no ignorance.
If one knows consciousness as self then everything is consciousness, the
consciousness is second to none. The mind is consciousness but due to
ignorance one mistakes it for something else. One thinks the self is within the
body; but the self is without the body and the world.
The mind
ceases to exist without the matter. Without the matter mind ceases to exist as
mind but it exists as matter- less awareness or consciousness. Without the mind
neither the world nor its perceiver can exist.
Without
the matter there is no duality. Without duality there is no experience. Without
experience it is non-dual reality. Therefore, whatever prevails without the
mind is ultimate reality.
The true
nature of the soul (consciousness) is camouflaged by the
illusion/duality. To know the truth one has to discover and realize the
formless substance of the mind or illusion. One has to learn to view and judge
the worldview on the standpoint the formless soul as self. Self-knowledge
is the prime goal of the truth seeker. This goal is hidden within the mind as
its invisible substance and witness. Therefore, it is necessary inquiry,
analyse and reason in to the nature of mind/ duality/illusion in order to
unfold the mystery of mind or duality or illusion.
