The ‘I’ is the ignorance. Till one hold the ‘I’ as
the Self, it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma
Gnana. Thus, the seeker has to get rid of the
ignorance, which is present in the form of ‘I’, in order to realize the
ultimate truth or Brahman.
What is this ‘I’?
The ‘I’ is not a thought.
The ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is the whole universe. The universe appears as waking or dream
(duality and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one that appears as waking or dream
(duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality) is the Soul, the innermost
Self. The Soul is present in the form of the consciousness. The consciousness
pervades everything and everywhere in all the three states.
Without knowing what mind
is, it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time and
space. People think the mind is within
the body but deeper self-search reveals the fact that the world in which you
exist itself is the mind. When the ‘I’ is there then only the mind is there. If
the mind is there then only the universe is there. If the universe is there
then only the waking is there. Thus, it
is very much necessary to realize the ‘what ‘I’ is in actuality. Without knowing ‘what is this ‘I’ it is
impossible to realize the ‘I-less’ truth, which is beyond the form, time and
space.
Till you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never
be able to get Self-realization. ‘I’
hides the Soul, which is the innermost Self. ‘
I’ is ignorance.
‘I’ is the duality.
‘I’ is the form, time and space.
‘I’ is the universe.
‘I’ is the waking.
‘I’ is the dream.
‘I’ is the illusion.
‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death and the
world.
Without the ‘I’ there is no ignorance.
Without the ‘I’ there is no duality.
Without the ‘I’ there is no form, time and space.
Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.
Without the ‘I’ there is no waking.
Without the ‘I’ there is no dream.
Without the ‘I’ there is no illusion.
Without the ‘I’ there is no experience of birth,
life, death and the world.
The ‘I’ hides the truth of
the whole. The ‘I’ hides the truth.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you
still say ‘I,’, If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a
seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.
Bhagvad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient
‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
Many Gurus in the past propagate the ‘Self’ is within you but ‘Self is not within you. You and the world in which you exist are within the ‘Self’. The world in which you exist is created out of the Self, which is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of the consciousness. Thus, the Self is the fullness of consciousness because there is no division of the form, time, and space in its essence. All the divisions within the consciousness is mere an illusion.
The Truth is very simple. It is very difficult to realize because it is lost in the dualistic knowledge we inherited, collected from different sources, different masters’ different gurus, different philosophies, different ideologies, different books, and scriptures. All these accumulated knowledge is a mere hill of Garbage.
Nothing is needed other than realizing the knowledge of the single stuff. The single stuff is the cause of the world in which we exist. And that single stuff itself is causeless. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. The Soul is the innermost Self. Knowledge of the Soul, the innermost Self, is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Atma Gnana is knowledge of God. Realizing God in this very life is your goal. God realization is real worship.
Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Only an intense urge to know the truth, humility sincerity and patience are the only qualifications to realize God in this very life and in this very world.
Drop your entire accumulated knowledge drop all the physical Gurus, the Soul the inner Guru, is waiting for you to take the first step for you to realize there are no more steps.
You will realize your body and your experience of the world are nothing but consciousness thus you will realize the God (Soul) is fullness of the consciousness. Everything is God nothing but God. Do not waste time attending sermons and Satsang. Real Satsanga is reflecting on Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.
“It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the innermost Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
