Many are
good at acrobatics with words, but their knowledge is limited to the physical
self, which is ego. The ego (waking entity) is the false self within the false experien ce(waking). As the inner work is in progress the
realization will happen. As the conviction about the soul (conciousness), the innermost self becomes firmer the truth will start reveling on its own . Only the chosen one by the soul or consciousness will be able to realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.
"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). The soul or consciousness is
ultimate truth or Brahman or God.
Everyone’s
individual experiences are not the same. Some are so much immersed in
materiality, religion, duty bound towards their family and society, and they
will not be attracted to the non-dual wisdom or understand and assimilate the
non-dualistic or Advaitic truth, because they accepted the duality as a reality.
Till one rectify
his reasoning base from form to formless it becomes difficult to
assimilate the Self-knowledge. It takes some time to sink in. There is no need for discussion , if one goes on reading my blogs.
One will find answers for all his doubts and confusions. And
as his conviction becomes stronger by becoming aware of the fact that,
the self is not the form but the self is formless, his reasoning base also
will be rectified mentally from form base to formless base.
There is no use of taking strain to understand assimilate the
conceptual divisions invented by teachers of philosophy by their excessive
analysis. There are more and more doubts and confusions, if one tries to
understand and assimilate the ultimate truth through scriptures.
Why to follow the path of
doubts and confusion by losing oneself in the labyrinths of philosophy, when one
can realize the ultimate truth without them. By mentally tracing the
source of the mind from where it rises and subsides one becomes aware of the
fallacy of the mind, which rises as waking or dream and subsides as deep
sleep. The mind raises form consciousness and subsides as consciousness.
Therefore, there is a need for perfect understanding assimilation of non-dual truth.
There is no need to renounce
the worldly life to get Self-Realization. Any householder can attain it if has
the inner urge and sharpness to grasp.
The mind is the
universe, because when the mind (I) is there then only the universe is there. The ego, body, universe appear together and disappear to
gather. Limiting the mind (I)
to the physical entity is the cause of the ignorance. The body, ego, universe ceases to exist without the
mind. If one of these is
absent then the mind is also absent. Thus
mind is the whole universe,
which appears as waking or dream(duality) and disappears as deep sleep(non-duality) Thus one which is aware of the appearance and disappearance of
dual and nondual experiences is not the form (body or ego) but formless(consciousness).
The consciousness (soul) is the
true self. The true self is the source of the three states. These three
states deceive; the people fail to look beyond them to its source, which is real,
supreme and imperishable. The three states are mere
an illusion. It is difficult to overcome
the illusion without the wisdom. But one can cross over
this illusion, by realizing and becoming aware of the fact that, the self is
not physical but it is consciousness.
People are deluded by illusion, because they have immersed in the illusion experiencing it as reality. They are ignorant because they think the self is physical and birth, life, death and world as reality. Having lost all discrimination, they follow the way of their physical nature. When ignorance vanishes through wisdom then only it is possible to negate the illusion, the mortal becomes immortal. When all the physical shackles that strangle the self are loosened, the mortal becomes immortal, here in this very life.
The ultimate understanding is: Nothing has actually been created. All that appears is mere mirage. Everything is consciousness and nothing can be a part of it. No second thing exists other than consciousness, neither the man nor the world, which contains all the objects exits in non-dual reality.
The duality means the mind, which is in the form
of the universe. The universe
appears as waking or dream. The universe and man co-exists together within the waking
or dream. When one analysis
deeply, then one becomes aware of the fact that neither the waking entity nor the dream entity
is not the self. But the self is without these three states. That means the self
is formless and apart from these three states.
None of these three
states can exist by itself alone, without this formless self, who
is within the three states but it is apart from these three states. It is within because it the formless substance and
witness of these three states. It is apart because it is not an entity or
identity within the waking or dream. The three states are impermanent in
their nature but the self, is formless substance and the witness of the three
states is permanent and eternal. The self can exist with or without the
three states. In deep sleep it exists without the waking or dream
experience. Thus it is empty of duality. Thus,
the emptiness is the nature of
the true self, which is in the form of consciousness.
The consciousness is aware of these three states, which appears as waking
or dream and disappears as deep sleep. By
becoming aware of the existence of formless self mentally one becomes aware of the
fact that, the three states are mere
mirage created out of
consciousness. Thus three states are mere mirage that has
to be transcended by tracing the formless substance and witness of the three states, which is in the form of
consciousness.
Once one gets the firm
conviction that the consciousness is the true self then the wisdom dawns
and the through wisdom one becomes fully aware the universe, which is in the
form of mind and soul or self,
which is in the form of consciousness are one in essence. Thus the mind (universe)
becomes one with the soul (consciousness). Thus no second thing exists other than the consciousness. Therefore,
consciousness alone exists as ultimate truth, the universe or mind is a mere mirage created out of consciousness.
