Waking
is as real as a dream. One has to analyze the three states, not the individual experience happens in the dream and waking. The individual experiences are part
of the illusion. Since everyone judges the three states, on base of waking
entity, they miss to grasp the non dual truth.
What
is it, that witnesses the dream, without the physical body,when the Waking
entity or experience, ceases to exist in the dream?
Searching
the truth on the base of 'I', as self, is like emptying the ocean drop by drop.
Therefore, it is necessary to know What is 'I'? before indulging in pursuit of
truth.
The
invisible witness of the dream has to be grasped mentally.It needs the
sharpness to grasp it. This sharpness comes only through constant
inquiry,reasoning and analysis on the true base.
The
waking is parallel dream and dream is a parallel Waking experience. If one
indulges on the base of theories and keep arguing on the base of false Waking
identity, one will not be able to grasp the non dual witness, which is the true
self.
The
dream and waking both are an object to the self. The self is ever independent
and apart from the experience of duality,which is present as dream or waking.
The
self is within the experience of dream and waking, as its invisible substance,
and it is apart from the waking or dream experience, as its invisible
witness.It is apart because it is not an entity or identity within the Waking experience.
Since,most
people accept their arrived intellectual theories, based on the physical false
self, they are not receptive to accept anything other than their accepted
truth.
Only
those seekers, who tried all paths practices and tired of intellectual arguments
and find it inadequate and useless to quench their spiritual thirst.And if they
are sincerely and seriously searching for the ultimate truth, by dropping all their
intellectual accumulated dross, will be able to grasp and realize the ultimate
truth.
It
is necessary for the seeker to try everything and make sure for himself that,
they all are inadequate and useless, before indulging in pursuit of non dual
truth.
Master
of non dual truth, Nirakara said: The truth will not be revealed to those, who
base themselves on birth, life and death, which they hold as reality and search
the truth of the false physical identity, which is the part of the illusory experience.
All
the theories and intellectual arguments will keep one in the clutches of
duality, therefore one will not be able to cross the boundaries of duality, and
able to go beyond.
It
is necessary for the truth seekers make sure, what is truth and what is not
truth, to realize the non dual truth and reject the untruth, which is the
duality or mind.
It
is the same invisible witness who witnesses the dream, witnesses the Waking
also. it takes years of mental practice to view and judge the Waking and dream
on the standpoint of the invisible witness.
In reality there is neither the witness nor the witnessed
exist. Everything is merged and prevail as non dual truth. The ice remains as
ice, until it is melted. Likewise the duality remains as duality, until the
ultimate truth is realized.
