Gurus and yogis think that because they have followers they think they are god and when they are glorified by their followers they are satisfied, but all these satisfactions can satisfy their ego because they are unaware of the fact that they and their experience of the world are the product of ignorance. Thus all these satisfactions are individual happenings within the falsehood.
They are reality only on the standpoint of ego. The ego, body and the experience of the world exists as reality only when there is ignorance. When wisdom dawns than the unreality of the ego, body and the world, (whole waking experience) will be exposed.
Education, social success, individual action and conduct are not
qualification for Self-realization because they are part of the illusory waking
experience. Whatever social success and education qualification the dream
entity has within the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly
whatever social success and education
qualification the waking entity has within the waking becomes unreal when
waking entity realizes the fact that it itself is not the self, but the self is
formless soul or consciousness, witnesses the three states without the physical
apparatus.
The
practical life within the practical world, which is present as waking experience,
is mere illusion. If waking experience is mere illusion than the individual
experience of birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion. If the
experience birth, life death and the world are mere illusion, it means the form;
time and space are mere illusion. If
form, time and space are mere illusion, it means the past, present and future
is mere illusion. Thus it is necessary for the seeker to realize the fact that, form,
time and space are one in essence, in order to realize the three states are one
in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus all the diversity is created
out of formless consciousness. Thus no
second thing exists other than consciousness, the innermost self. Seeker of
truth has to constantly reflect on the subject in order to get a firm conviction
of the truth. The seeker has to reflect on
the same truth again and again until it becomes reality. One needs to constant
reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what.
The self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity because it
formless consciousness, the innermost self. Consciousness pervades everywhere and in
everything in all the three states whereas the waking entity is limited to
waking experience and dream entity is limited to dream experience.
Waking is the states of ignorance. And it is the state of forgetfulness where
the self, forgets its formless true nature — which is nondual Conscious Existence
— results in experiencing the illusory
waking experience as reality.
Inasmuch as man is already overwhelmed by countless false concepts, and
he keeps adding new to the already existing ones! The object of pursuit of
truth is for the removal of these false worldly concepts.
The more one abandons our false concepts, the more he will become awake
and aware; consequently, then he will find truth within. There is a need for
completely shedding all wrong concepts.
"Soul”, which is
present in the form of consciousness, is the only reality and there is nothing
other than this soul or consciousness, which is the innermost self. On the
stand point the formless soul or consciousness, innermost self, there is no
second thing exists other than consciousness.
Because the whole universe in, which we all exist is created out of
consciousness. There is no second thing
exist other than consciousness. Hence it is nondual (non-duality)
