Whatever takes form as the duality is
false. Only the nondual consciousness endures. When you understand the truth,
beyond the form, time and space, the duality will never be a reality again. For
the consciousness is infinite, within and without, like a mirror, and the image
in a mirror. The consciousness is
everywhere, filling all things and flowing through the dualistic illusion forever.
The consciousness is like a lamp which
lights up a theatre and reveals both a dancer and a stage.
The ignorance is the cause of experiencing
the world as a reality. The world in which we exist is a dualistic
illusion. The ‘self is hidden within
the dualistic illusion and it is without the dualistic illusion.
The mystic must become
a constant slave to some line of "thought" or rather imagination, and
then he will really see visions confirming his imaginations.
The mystic who sees
God in vision has seen Him during the waking state. The waking experience
itself an illusion. Thus, whatever seen within the illusion is bound to be an
illusion. Thus, it is necessary for the mystic to realize his existence is a
reality within the illusion. Whatever
belief of God one is familiar with through his inherited conditioning or
samskara that he will see in his visions.
When man is the false Self within the false experience, then whatever he
believes is bound to be falsehood.
God is the
Soul the innermost Self. The Soul is
present in the form of the consciousness. God is not within you, but you and
your experience of the world are within the God. Self-realization is God realization because
the Soul the innermost Self itself is God. When you and your experience of the world
disappear, then God alone prevails as formless, timeless and spaceless
existence.
No dualities, no
differentiation. Only Atman exists. Let us see in the words of Krishna:
Bhagvad Gita: 4: 22 : ~ "..... who has gone beyond the conflicting dualities like
good (happiness) and bad (sorrow)....."
Bhagvad Gita: 4: 42: ~ "..... cut all such
conflicting dualities (doubts) by the sword (weapon) of knowledge. ....."
Bhagvad Gita: 5: 18: ~ “The learned men (who have
come out of delusions (Māyā), got
rid of Avidya) see no differentiation have equal vision for a revered Brahmin,
a cow, an elephant, a dog and a cāndāla (outcaste , rogue, mleccha , demonic
person etc )"
Bhagvad Gita: 5: 19: ~ "Those who have
achieved the true knowledge i.e. the 'Self-Knowledge' or the 'knowledge of
Atman' and see no difference, are free from conflicting dualities have merged
in Brahman"
Bhagvad Gita: 5: 20: ~ "One who does not get excited out of happiness on getting
good and does not get depressed on getting bad is situated in Brahman i.e. is
merged in Brahman"
Bhagvad Gita: 6: 9: ~ "The one who has equal
vision for a Selfless do gooder , a friend, a foe, an unbiased, a well-wisher, a
depressed and jealous man, relatives, a righteous and a sinner is the best (as
he sees no duality and differentiation but sees everything as Ātman)"
Bhagvad Gita: 6: 32: ~ “..... as one seeks and treats oneself with equal vision, the same
way one who has equal vision for good and evil, for everybody is the best of
all"
Bhagvad Gita: 6: 8 : ~ "For whom soil, a pebble and gold are alike, he is merged
in Brahman"
Bhagvad Gita Gita: 7: 27: ~ "..... people are getting entangled in the primordial ignorance
(Avidya) of the conflicting dualities like good and evil, happiness and sorrow
caused due to attachments, desires and hatred....."
Bhagvad Gita: 6: 28: ~ “..... who have cut-off conflicting dualities (like good and evil)
is determinedly in my service. ...."
Bhagvad Gita: 7: 19: ~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge
of Self , the knowledge of Atman , in the last birth in the series of many births
worships Me as~ Atman alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing
except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare"
