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 the 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 the substance of the mind?” and move forward.
Vedas point to it only indirectly as 'not this -
not this' shows that the knowledge can be imparted to others."Whatever one
sees becomes known by the very abstract
intelligence.
The seeker has to carefully analyze the underlying
consciousness which, though abstract and apart from material objects, yet
illumines them all the same. Know it to be the truth.
The
wisdom consists in knowing the truth, that everything (universe or mind or physical
existence) is consciousness. Freedom (ultimate 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 formless soul, the innermost self (consciousness) are quite near to the ultimate truth.
To think
once own body and his experience of the world is an illusion is a difficult matter, unless one realizes the self is not physical but it is formless soul it
is difficult to have a glimpse of truth.
When one
realizes the fact that, the self is not physical but the formless soul,
naturally the body and the universe become illusion.
The Mind or universe is emanating from the soul (consciousness) means the mind is being
effect of consciousness is not different from it. Deeper analysis shows it.
Analysis needs deeper thinking and reasoning. The mind is whole universe thus it
has a form. But where is the form in consciousness (soul) because consciousness
is like an ocean and mind is like a wave.
The universe is same consciousness, as the ocean produces the wave, so
the consciousness produces the mind (universe).
The
moment one knows the mind (universe) is consciousness, and then there is no
ignorance. If one knows consciousness as self then everything is consciousness,
the consciousness is second to none. The
mind is consciousness in its substance but due to ignorance one mistakes it for something else.
One thinks the self is within the body; but the self is without the body and
the world.
Without the matter mind ceases to exist as mind but it exists as matter-
less awareness or consciousness. Without the mind neither the world nor its
perceiver can exist.
Without the matter there is no
duality. Without duality there is no experience. Without experience it is
non-dual reality. Therefore, whatever prevails without the mind is ultimate
reality.
The true nature of the soul
(consciousness) is camouflaged by the illusion/duality. To know the truth one has to discover and
realize the formless substance of the mind or illusion. One has to learn to
view and judge the worldview on the standpoint the formless soul as self.
Self-knowledge or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana is the prime goal of the
truth seeker. This goal is hidden within the mind as its invisible substance
and witness. Therefore, it is necessary inquiry, analyze and reason into the nature
of mind/ duality/illusion in order to unfold the mystery of mind or duality or universe or illusion.
