Non-dualistic love is beyond instinct, intellect, imagination and inspiration.

People think love is the means to self-realization but they are unaware of the fact that, love and hate are made of the same stuff. Love is not the means of self –realization. Love is very much necessary in practical life within the practical world. Love implies duality.  Whatever is of duality is falsehood. Thus love is reality within the falsehood.  Lover and love ceases to exist in reality because the experience of duality is not reality.  The experience of practical life within practical world is reality within the waking experience but waking experience itself is mere illusion created out of consciousness. Thus lover and love are one in essence. Thus path of love is religious path because religion is path of individuality or duality.    

The humanism is limited to practical life within the practical world.    The path of love is path for humanity therefore, it is individualized path. Thus path of love is limited to the physical structure, it cannot transport one to ultimate end.  Thus seeker has to understand the fact that the practical life and practical world are part of the mirage from the ultimate standpoint.


The love within the physical existence (practical world)   is very valuable in practical life. Grand master of yoga Sri,  Paramahanasa Yogananad and many other sages in the past prescribed unconditional love to the humanity.   And unconditional love is very valuable tool for the humanity which is immersed in practical life and practical world.  We have to respect every sage for their service contribution to the humankind.  

The path of love, path of humanity are limited to the practical life within the practical world.  Path of love and path of humanity are the best tool to serve the human kind within the practical life with in the practical world. 

 

Gnani loves humanity in the practical world but inwardly he is fully aware of the fact that,  from ultimate standpoint,  the practical life within the practical world is mere illusion.

 Thus path of love should not be mixed with path of wisdom because the path of love is based on the duality and path of wisdom is based on non-duality. 

Non- dualistic Love is the nature of the soul, the innermost self. The love is in the form of the consciousness.  Love is the shoreless Non-dual Ocean. Love is beyond form, time and space. Non-dualistic love is beyond instinct, intellect, imagination and inspiration.  The love is unconscious of its true nature when it is in illusion (duality). Only beyond illusion (duality) it is in its formless non-dual true nature. 

The nature of the innermost self is non-dualistic love. Love is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

What is not consciousness (non-dualistic love) in the experience of diversity (waking or universe)?  The waking and the dream cease to exist without love (soul).  The seeker, seeking and his experience of the world are one in essence. That essence is non-dualistic –love (soul or consciousness). Thus all dualistic experience (universe) is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is love, which pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states.  Thus nothing exist other than the love, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you.

It means one has to know the world which confronts him confronts to realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is Spirit (father).  

Sage Sri, Sankara says: one must first know what is before him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.

Sage Sri, Sankara says- VC- 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

  

Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. (And after they have reigned they will rest.)"

When the seeker indulges in deeper self-search becomes aware of the fact that, the experience of birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion created out of spirit, he  will be in fear of losing their physical identity  and the experience of the world which  he dearly attached.   But gradually his conviction grows about the innermost self the mid becomes still and rests in consciousness, the innermost self, which is god or Christ.  

Meher Baba said: - give no importance to creed, dogma, caste or the performance of religious ceremonies and rites.

The only Real Existence is that of the One and only God Who is the Self in every (finite) self.

The only Real Love is the Love for this Infinity (God), which arouses an intense longing to see, know and become one with its Truth (God).

The only Real Sacrifice is that in which, in pursuance of this Love, all things—body, mind, position, welfare and even life itself—are sacrificed.

The only Real Renunciation is that which abandons, even in the midst of worldly duties, all selfish thoughts and desires.

The only Real Knowledge is the Knowledge that God is the inner dweller in good people and in so-called bad, in saint and in so-called sinner. This Knowledge requires you to help all equally as circumstances demand without expectation of reward, and when compelled to take part in a dispute, to act without the slightest trace of enmity or hatred; to try to make.

The real love is the love for the innermost self. Thus ‘Love Thyself'. 

The self cannot be experienced, because the experience is possible only in the realm of duality.   There is neither experience nor experincer in reality.  In self-awareness the body, ego and the world are not considered different from consciousness.

The Self-awareness is possible only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The Mind implies duality. Without the mind there is no universe. Without the universe there is waking or dream. Without the waking or dream there is no individuality. Without the individuality there is no separation. Without the separation there is no duality. Without the duality there is no illusion. Without the illusion there is no ignorance. Wherever there is duality there is ignorance.  Wherever there is ignorance the illusion is experienced as reality.   The three states are part of the illusion. 

Wherever there is duality there is illusion. The waking and dream are state of duality.  Deep sleep is a state of non-duality. But deep sleep is still a state of ignorance because we become aware of the deep sleep only in the state of duality.  Thus one has to realize the Non-dualistic self-awareness in the midst of duality. The Self-awareness is possible only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.    

In reality the three states are one in essence. That essence is consciousness.  The consciousness or soul is the innermost self.   The consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman. The ultimate truth or Brahman is God.  Call it Self, God, Christ, Brahman, inner Buddha or Emptiness or Nothingness or Spirit or Love it is all the same. 

When one realizes the ultimate truth as a person of the world than he realizes that the consciousness pervades in everything everywhere   in all the three states.  Thus it is necessary realize the soul, which is in the form consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman.  Thus soul or consciousness is or God.  

The world is an illusion.  The experience of the birth, life and death takes place within the illusory world.  Thus the seekers main aim is to mentally trace the formless substance of the illusion, which is also the witness of the illusion. The formless substance and witness of the illusion (world) is the soul or consciousness.  And this this soul or consciousness itself is Brahman.  This Brahman cannot be attained by indulging in egocentric religious orthodoxies.

Sage Sri, Sankara himself had often said that his philosophy was based on Sruti, or revealed scripture.  This may be because Sri, Sankara addressed the ordinary man, who finds security in the idea of causality and thus in the idea of God—and Revelation is indispensable to prove the latter.  He believed that those of superior intelligence, have no need of this idea of divine causality, and can therefore dispense with Sruti and arrive at the truth of Non-Dualism by pure reason.  

By inquiring WHO AM I?  it unfold the fallacy of the form thus only half the truth is revealed. The ignorant who fail to apprehend the ‘self’ are caught in the web of illusion experience, the birth, life, death and world as reality.  The people who think the ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as self are caught up in the web of duality experiences the pain and pleasure as reality.    

As the waking entity or ego becomes more and more inward turned, it becomes gradually free from experiencing the duality as reality.  When the soul, the innermost self becomes freed from all the obstruction by fully eliminating the ignorance it remains in its own awareness.  When the soul, remains in its own awareness in the midst of duality then the duality is mere illusion created out of the soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

So long the soul, the innermost self identifies itself with the waking entity it remains in ignorance of its formless non-dual true nature. Therefore it is necessary to realize the fact that, the ‘self’ is neither the waking entity nor the ‘self’ is dream entity but the self is the formless soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states. 

Just as the sun is the direct cause of the daylight, so without the self-knowledge no emancipation can be had. Compared to all other forms discipline Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the only direct means for freedom from experiencing the illusion as reality. 

Only when the wisdom dawns the soul, the innermost self can remain in its own awareness in the midst of duality.
