All religions of the world and all philosophies of the world are based
on the individuality or ego; find no answers to many questions. Truth seekers
all over the world are trying to find answers for themselves, and they imagine
and write articles and books of their ideas and others will read and blindly
accept them as truth.
We are discussing about the formless
truth in the realm of untruth (duality).
If we rectify reasoning base form to formless then the words and
concepts will become meaningless. To travel from ignorance to wisdom one has to
use the words and concepts and as his understanding matures he has to drop
them.
Everyone is not on the same level of
understanding, some are in the elementary level and some are in advanced stages. In
elementary stages we have to use more words and concepts to make them
understand and also to overcome the inherited samskara or conditioning, for advanced
seekers are sharp enough to understand assimilate the truth with lesser
words.
Spiritual pursuit is a very personal
journey. Seeker of truth has to bifurcate everything which is based on the ego or waking entity or false self such as religion, individualized God, paths and theories and philosophy.
Truth is hidden in
everything and everywhere as formless substance and witness of the dual (waking
or dream) and non-dual (deep sleep) experiences. To be enlightened is
to know the formless substance and the witness of the three states as ultimate
truth.
The formless
substance and witness is the soul or spirit or consciousness. The mind or
the universe or waking (experience of diversity) rise from the
formless soul and subsides back as the soul or consciousness. Thus, the soul is
the source the mind, which is present as the universe. Universe rises as waking or
dream subsides as deep sleep.
The three
states are unreal on the standpoint of the formless soul or
consciousness, the innermost self. Thus, the self is neither the
waking entity or ego nor the self is the dream entity but the self is
the formless soul or consciousness ,which witnesses the coming and going of the
three states. Therefore, there is a need to learn to view and judge the three
states on the base of soul as self, in order to realize the ultimate truth or
Brahman.
Pursuit of truth is
to know the facts of one’s true existence. To know the facts is to know the
Truth. Most people are unaware of the fact that, physical existence or
the universe is mere mirage and live in a delusion Realization of
Ultimate Truth is the Gateway to freedom from experiencing duality as
reality. Therefore there is a need to realize the fact that, the
formless soul or consciousness is the innermost self, and soul or
consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman. There is no Truth
without formless soul or consciousness.
Seeker of truth should not indulge
in condemning religion and yoga or its gurus or gods and its code of conduct.
But he has to highlight its fallacy for his own information, which helps him to
proceed deeper with the investigation.
Seeker of truth has to mingle and
discuss with like minded people but never indulge in arguments about religious
doctrines and teachers and teachings and philosophies.
Religion and god and guru
glorification and scriptural studies or yoga are not needed in pursuit of
truth. Only one must have the intense urge to know the truth and courage to
accept the truth and reject the untruth, when un-contradictable truth is
revealed through inquiry analysis and reasoning.
A receptive mind free from religious
and yogic or any sort of knowledge based on the ego is very much necessary to
acquire the self-knowledge or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana.
All the accumulated knowledge of
religion and yoga and paths and theories are mere dross in pursuit of truth.
Religion and yoga are helpful for the mass and the society but they are a great hindrance in unfolding the mystery of the mind.
