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’.
First seeker must inquire into the nature of the physical
body i.e. matter. Second he must inquire into the nature of the mind.
Observe at everything
in nature because in everything there is consciousness. One should not avoid them,
do not shut his himself to Nature; and he should not shut himself away from the
world which is as much consciousness, as anything else because the
consciousness is the cause of the three
states and it itself is uncaused.
To say this world is
illusion without first examining them and inquiring into them thoroughly is to
delude yourself. The world is reality within the waking experience. Same way as
the dream world was reality within the dream.
The person, who stamped their foot on the ground to refute
to show the world, is real, ignore that in dream he would do exactly the
same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.
The dream becomes unreal
when waking takes place. Similarly the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.
Wisdom dawns, when the waking entity indulges itself in deeper self-search and
realizes the fact that, it itself is not the self. But the self is the formless
witness of the three states. The
formless witness of the three states is the soul or consciousness, the
innermost self. Formless Consciousness
also is the substance of the three states. Thus formless witness and substance
of the three states are one in essence. Thus there is no second thing exists
other than consciousness. Thus formless
consciousness (soul) is ultimate truth or Brahman. Thus on the standpoint of the soul, the
innermost self, all the three states are mere illusion. Whatever prevails
without the illusion is ultimate reality or Brahman.
