All the scriptures hold the form,
time and space as reality. If they hold form, time and space as reality the
universe is automatically becomes reality. If the universe is considered as a
reality than birth, life death will be experienced as reality. If birth, life
and death is taken as reality than it is impossible to cross the threshold of
duality. If duality remains as a reality than ignorance will prevail
unchecked. If ignorance prevails than
illusion will prevail as reality.
Deeper self-search reveals the fact
that, religious and yogic pursuit and pursuit of truth are not the same. The
religious yogic pursuit is egocentric whereas the pursuit of truth is
soul-centric.
The scriptures and
theories and teaching based on the ego are not the yardstick. Using them as
yardstick to understand and assimilate the truth will lead one towards pursuit
of arguments. Seeker of truth has to discover on his own, the truth of his true
existence by inquiring “what is mind?” and “what is substance of the mind?” “What
is the source of the mind?” and move forward.
The wisdom consists in knowing
the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness.
Freedom (truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from
physicality and who have attained the serenity of the soul/self (consciousness)
are quite near to the ultimate truth.
To think once own body and his
experience of the world is an illusion is difficult matter, unless one realizes
the self is not physical but it is formless soul it is difficult to have
glimpse of truth.
When one realizes the fact that,
the self is not physical but the formless soul, naturally the body and universe
becomes illusion.
Anyone who has inner urge, humility and
patience is qualified for Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. A Gnani tries to lead the seeker of
whatever level, to the goal of the true existence.
