A Gnani do not consider himself
as wise and others are less wise. No one is wise or less wise in in pursuit of
truth. The inner revolution starts within and ends within. Gnani is neither a
scriptural scholar nor he is a philosopher.
Gnani is neither a teacher nor he has any teaching. He silently works and helps the fellow seekers
inspiring them guiding them towards inner reality in his own way. The scholar
will remain as scholars and philosophers will remain as philosophers and
intellectual remains as intellectuals arguing on their point of view. Gnani
never propagates any philosophy because philosophy is nothing to do with
pursuit of truth but he points out, the obstacles, which is blocking everyone’s
realization.
Seekers need not hold any
teacher or teaching or wise men as a yardstick and indulge in argument instead
try to list out the doubts and confusion arises from that teaching or
declaration and try to find answer independently on their own, which opens the
inner dialogue, and the inner discrimination will start on its own in
subconscious, and then the truth will start revealing on its own without
intellectual spoon feeding. It is not my advice but it is my humble suggestion
because the advice comes from the ego and suggestion comes from the inner core
of the existence.
There is no need to follow
anyone. If one wants Brahman follow the inner guru not Hinduism. If one wants ultimate truth follow Christ
within not Christianity. If one wants
Nirvana follow Buddha not Buddhism. By
glorifying the form and name of the sages will not yield truth. Deeper
self-search is needed in order to realize what is what. It is not the man who
has to get self-realization but it is the self that has to realize it is not
the man and the world but it is consciousness. Thus it is the self, which has urge
for freedom from this illusory prison called universe or mind.
The universe will not
vanish, when wisdom dawns, only the ignorance disappears and unreal nature of
the universe or mind or waking is exposed, same way as the unreal nature of the
dream exposed when waking takes place. The wisdom dawns in the midst of duality
because in reality there is no duality. Nothing is needed other
than perfect understanding of what is what is needed.
The ultimate truth or Brahman cannot be experienced.
Because it is prior to any experience. Experience belongs to individuality. And
individuality is falsehood. There is neither individual nor his experience in
reality.
Man and his experience of the world cannot exist without
waking experience. Whatever we are discussing, we are discussing within the
waking experience, which is mere illusion from ultimate standpoint. Thus whatever is known, seen, believed and
experienced as a person is bound to be falsehood.
The path of religion, path of yoga and path of wisdom are
meant for different classes of people. Mixing up with one another is like
mixing oil in water.
