Blinded with the illusion very few
grasp the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth. Only few escape from the web of illusion, only few
will be able to acquire non-dual wisdom.
The non-duality has to be grasped in
the midst of the waking experience (duality or mind or universe). That is, being aware of the truth and
untruth, reality and unreality. And able establish himself in the truth and
able to view and judge, the three states, on the base of the soul, which is
ultimate truth or Brahman.
It is unfortunate people are stuck
with their accumulated ideas based on the false self, and imagine about non
duality and say nothing exist other than the source. But a Gnani says
everything exists (illusion) but everything is created out of the soul (spirit
or consciousness). Everything rises from
the soul (spirit or consciousness), and subsides as soul (spirit or
consciousness). Thus, the whole diversity has no relevance, on the standpoint
of the soul as self.
Everything
(illusion or matter) is nothingness (spirit or consciousness) realizing the
three states are created out nothingness (soul or spirit or consciousness).
Nothingness is the nature of the soul (spirit or consciousness), because there
is no second thing exist other than the soul (spirit or consciousness), the
innermost self. Thus consciousness is the ultimate truth or
Brahman.
Where there is
no ignorance there is no burden and bondage of duality/illusion. Most of the
people cannot understand this because they are egocentric.
People quote
the authorities from the scriptures and famous people to prove their point. The
formless soul/self, which is free never, becomes bond. No bondage non
liberation from the ultimate point of view.
Only by
analyzing the mind and its substance helps to get of bondage or illusion. In the nature of the consciousness there is
no division as internal and external.
Seeker has to
be steady in the pursuit of truth, and then alone it is possible to understand
and assimilate the ultimate truth. Those
who accepted the illusion as reality will not be able to understand assimilate
the ultimate truth.
The
disentangling of cause and effect is huge problem in mental thinking. Reason functions
only where there is duality.
What is the
first thought of the child? The child does not think until it is three years
old. It does not think of ‘I’ or me because the ego is not formed yet. When it starts
identifying itself with name then the ego is formed.
A permanent view of 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 whole truth, one
must know the whole universe, otherwise he gets only half-truth.
Renouncing the worldly life and
accepting sanyasa or monk-hood means incapacity to think deeper, an impotency
to inquire and reason.
People speak of getting rid of conditioning or samskara but they
themselves are unaware of the fact that, the universe in which they exist is product
of the inborn samskara or conditioning. The ignorance is cause of
the inborn samskara or conditioning which present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’.
The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that
‘I’ consciousness is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not
self-awareness. The self –awareness is when the formless soul or
consciousness remains aware of its own non-dual true nature.
