The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that ‘I’ consciousness is mere physical awareness.



People speak of getting rid of conditioning or samskara but they themselves are unaware of the fact that, the universe in which they exist is product of the inborn samskara or conditioning.  The ignorance is cause of the inborn samskara or conditioning which present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’.

The real Moksha or freedom is   to realize the fact that ‘I’ consciousness is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not self-awareness. The self –awareness is   when the formless soul or consciousness remains aware of its own nondual   true nature.


First seeker   must inquire into the nature of the physical body i.e. matter. Second he must inquire into the nature of the mind.

Observe at everything in nature because in everything there is consciousness. One should not avoid them, do not shut his himself to Nature; and he should not shut himself away from the world which is as much consciousness, as anything else because the consciousness is the cause of  the three states and it itself is uncaused.

To say this world is illusion without first examining them and inquiring into them thoroughly is to delude yourself. The world is reality within the waking experience. Same way as the dream world was reality within the dream. 
 
The person, who stamped their foot on the ground to refute to show the world, is real, ignore that in dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real. 

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. Wisdom dawns, when the waking entity indulges itself in deeper self-search and realizes the fact that, it itself is not the self. But the self is the formless witness of the three states.  The formless witness of the three states is the soul or consciousness, the innermost self.   Formless Consciousness also is the substance of the three states. Thus formless witness and substance of the three states are one in essence. Thus there is no second thing exists other than consciousness.   Thus formless consciousness (soul) is ultimate truth or Brahman.  Thus on the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self, all the three states are mere illusion. Whatever prevails without the illusion is ultimate reality or Brahman.  

What is this universe (samsara), what is this illusion to the formless soul or consciousness, the innermost self?




The experience of birth, life, death and the world is reality within the waking experience. The innermost   Self is nothing to do with the experience of birth, life death because it is birthless. The one, which is born, lives and dies is in the world is the waking entity. Waking entity is not the self.  The self is that, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states without the physical apparatus.   The experience of birth, life, death and the world (waking) is an object to the formless subject (soul, the innermost self).  Thus the object (mind or universe or waking) is mere illusion on the standpoint of the formless subject (soul).

Man has a firm conviction that he is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior to him and he is born in in it afterwards.  This conviction makes him remain in ignorance. And ignorance makes him accept the illusion as reality.  Thus he is caught up in the web of illusion experiencing the birth, life, death and the world as reality.   

What is this universe (samsara), what is this illusion to the formless soul or consciousness, the innermost self?  Consciousness and the universe both are one in essence ultimately.   Only people who are stuck to the reality of the universe think the body as body, ego as ego and the world as world.  It never strikes to them the waking experience in which they exist along with their world also as unreal as dream. 
 
The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place and the waking becomes unreal when waking entity gets wisdom and realizes it is not the self but the self is the formless witness (soul) of the three states.  The consciousness is within the three states as their formless substance and it is apart from the three states as their formless witness.  It is apart because it is not and entity or identity within the three states.

The person, who stamped their foot on the ground to refute to show the world, is real, ignore that in dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real. 

When wisdom dawns, the soul, the innermost self, wakes up in its formless nondual true nature in the midst of duality (waking). For a Gnani the body, ego and the universe are mere mirage created out of consciousness.

When universe (mind) is considered not different from the consciousness (soul), which is the innermost self, then there is the division of form, time and space.  When form, time and space are one in essence than where is the universe (mind).  

The universe (waking) is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

Many thinkers approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the universe (waking), they take it as real. Thus they are stuck to the reality of the illusory experience of the birth, life, death and the world as reality.  Thus it is necessary to realize the man and the world confronts him are one in essence in order to realize the form, time and space are one in essence.    

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



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 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.    

I respect all the sages of truth of the past. Sharing the knowledge is my only mission.  Inspiring the serious and sincere seekers of truth and divert their attention towards the inward reality is very much necessary.  And I humbly request all my fellow seekers do 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 truth 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.

The attractive world and the senses that are touch, taste sights, sounds, smells, etc are within the waking or dream(duality).



Man and the universe are part of the illusion, which  is present in the form of  waking or dream. The substance of the waking or  dream  or deep sleep is consciousness. Consciousness  from which these three states arise. To transcend birth, life and death one has to transcend the three states and abide in the eternal substance which is the consciousness(soul).

The terrible fear of death is absent only in deep sleep.  The fear seizes only in deep sleep. Fear is present only when one sees his body and the world in waking or dream. But in dreamless sleep, or when one is under Anastasia.  Fear haunts one only when one is fully “awake” and perceive the world, including his body. 

If one becomes aware of the formless soul, the innermost self and learns to view and judge the three states on the standpoint of the formless soul, the innermost self, than the fear becomes part of the mirage. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the three states and become aware of the fact that, the true self, which witnesses the three states, is apart from the three states.

If one traces this fear to the object, the loss of which gives rise to it, he will find that that object exists within the waking/dream which exists in the form of the mind.

The attractive world and the senses that are touch, taste sights, sounds, smells, etc are within the waking or dream(duality).

People would be too glad to be rid of worldly life and all the problems and inconvenience it creates for them if continued awareness were vouchsafed to them. It is the awareness, the consciousness, and not the body, he fears to lose. Everyone loves existence because it is eternal awareness, which is their own Self.

The seeker of truth has to hold on to the pure awareness right now, while in the body and be free from all fear which is created out illusion.

People want to know about rebirths. Theosophy speaks of 50 to thousands-year intervals between death and rebirth. But all these are imaginations based on the false self(ego or waking entity) within the false experience(waking). There is no relation between the standard of measurements of one state of consciousness and another. All such measurements are hypothetical. It must be distinctly understood that it is not the soul that comes and goes, but the three states which appear and disappear. The three states are mere illusion on the standpoint of the formless witness which is the soul, innermost  self.

On the plane of duality that is in the waking the waking world a waking body exists, in the dream, dream world a dream body exists. In dreamless sleep or in death, it remains wordless and bodiless therefore illusion-less.

The Gnani, the Self- Realized man, whose mind has already ceased to act, remains unaffected by the birth, life death (duality): it has dropped never to rise again as reality. The chain of illusions has snapped forever for him.

It is now clear that there is neither real birth, nor real death. It is the illusion that creates the sense of reality in duality. The sense of reality of the duality will prevail till it is destroyed by Self-Realization.

For a Gnani, the experience of birth, life death and the world is a mere mirage, because he is fully aware of the fact that all the three states are mere illusion created out of consciousness





For a  Gnani,  the experience of  birth, life death and the world is a mere mirage, because he is fully aware of the fact that all the three states are mere illusion created out of consciousness. All the three states they appear and disappear in succession. The witness of the three states is neither the  or waking entity nor the dream entity but the the formless soul, the innermost self. Thus the witness is apart from the witnessed(three states).

When one is “awake,” he incessantly thinks, and when he goes to sleep and dream, he does not think any the lesser. But when he  passes from dreamful to dreamless sleep, his  thoughts cease and he enjoys undisturbed peace, till he  wakes again and resume his  thinking and with it his  restless, peace-less state. But all these are happening within the three states and he is aware of the experiences only in the waking experience.

The waking experience is mere illusion. The experiencing birth, life, death and the world are within the illusion.  Due to ignorance, the illusion is experienced as reality. The illusion is present in the form of ‘I’ or mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep.   The three states are one in essence and that essence is consciousness. The consciousness (soul) is the innermost self. On the standpoint of the innermost self the three states are illusory.

Thus experiencing the birth, life, death and the world within the illusion (waking or universe) with the illusory self (waking entity or ego), within the illusory experience (waking),  is bound  to be an illusion.

The illusion is created, and sustained, and finally dissolves as consciousness, which is the innermost Self.  Since, there is no second thing other than the consciousness (soul); the consciousness itself is ultimate truth or Brahman.   The one who has realized this truth for him this illusion is passing show because he is fully aware of the fact that his body, his ego and his experience of the world to be consciousness. Practical peoples approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the practical life within the practical world, they take it as real whereas Gnani sees   his body his ego and his experience of the world as consciousness.

When the mind exists, then only the duality prevails. Absence of mind is  absent of duality. Therefore waking/dream/mind/duality is one and the same thing.

People think life is miserable because they are not aware of the fact that,  the self is neither  the  ‘waking entity’  nor the self is the dream entity but the self is the formless soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.  formless the ultimate  standpoint  the three states are unreal but the formless witness of the three states,which is the soul is real and eternal.  So, the soul which is present in the form of consciousness is real and eternal.

Waking  or dream  is a state of diversity. In deep sleep the waking and dream disappears and the experience -Free State prevails.  But soon experience appears again in the dream and continues till a full “waking” takes place in a new body, after another dreamless lull. This daily cycle of waking ,dreaming  and sleeping is a miniature of the cycle of birth, life and death.
