The dream and waking experiences both are equally false and unreal.







Man thinks his thoughts of the Past, Present and Future are reality. He thinks he  accumulates his experiences as memory. His thinks  brains decipher certain inviolable patterns in those experiences.And the patterns and their recurrence go to reinforce and solidify his belief in the reality of his physical experience, but man is unaware of the fact that, he and his experience of the world exists within the waking experience. Therefore, all his conviction about past,present and future are limited to waking experience. and waking experience is as unreal as dream.
The dream and waking experiences both are equally false and unreal. There is nothing like a birth, life and death. Whatever is visible it is visible to the soul, which is the true self.  There is a need to know the true self is not physical to realize the birth, life and death are mere mirage.
The self is Alone there is No second thing is there in the experience of diversity other then the self which is the spirit. Hence it is nondual.

While analyzing the illusory nature of the mind, one becomes aware of the fact the non-difference of dream and waking experience. These two states 'arise' and subsides from the nondual source. The nondual source itself is the true self, which is the soul. The soul is in the form of spirit. The nature of the soul is consciousness. The soul/self remains with or without the waking/dream, whereas the waking or dream is dependent on the soul/self.

The formless witness which is the substance of the three states cognizes the illusory objects of dream and wakeful states and the objects cognized in both the states are unreal on the standpoint of the formless witness, which is the soul/true self.

“Self/Soul, the self-luminous, when it is ignorant of itself there is illusion. In illusion there is diversity. Soul/Self alone is the formless substance and witness of the diversity.

All things like thoughts, ideas within the waking or dream are part of the illusory waking and dream experience.
 People who are stuck to their conviction of birth, life and death will not be able to assimilate self-knowledge because they think the birth entity is real and the three states are reality.   They are unaware of the fact that the true self is birth less and the three states are unreal. Therefore judging the truth on the false entity is erroneous.   In the name of Advith they mix religion and physical based theories therefore, the real nondual essence is lost.   

Katha Upanishad says: - This Ataman cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas, or by intelligence, or by much hearing of sacred books then why study all these scriptures.
 The time one spends in studying these scriptures is wasted; he can use the same time for moving towards Self-knowledge, which is his goal. Past, present and future are nothing but ideas present in waking/dream at the moment.” Understanding the Advith through scriptures is a roundabout way, and it is also it leads to lots of doubts and confusion and time and energy is wasted without getting any fruits.
Perfect understanding leads towards Self-knowledge, because it will lead to perfect assimilation, ands perfect realization. When one becomes aware of the fact that the self is not physical but the self is the spirit, and then he becomes aware of the fact that, he is seeking truth on the false self. Therefore, his seeking base has to be rectified from form to formless and he has to learn to view and judge the truth on the base of the true self, which is the soul/spirit. Once this happens the non-dual wisdom will be gained.

To speak of ultimate truth without knowing what truth is, is meaningless.






People are busy with their worldly life and they find no time or too lazy or incompetent to think. They do not want to be bothered to inquire since they think it is waste of time.

Yogic trance is same as hypnotic trance as there is no duality in the deepest stages of both, because they are both deep sleep, because their experience is based on the physical self. The intermediate stages of dream are paralleled by hypnotic and yogic and mental experiences and visions.  Since all are based on the physical self and physical self is false self therefore whatever experienced on the physical self is bound to be falsehood.

Ignorance cannot go through merely knowing the Self is Ataman, for it is known in sleep and Samadhi. It can go only by knowing, assimilating and realizing ultimate truth.

Yoga does not lead to wisdom.  Yogic Samadhi is mere blankness similar to deep sleep. In Samadhi yogi is unaware of the universe, and hence of ultimate truth.

In yogic Samadhi if yogi sees his body and the world and knew it as Ataman, one could agree that Yoga leads to nondual wisdom, but in Samadhi one is unaware of the body and of the universe, and hence he is unaware of the ultimate truth.

To speak of ultimate truth without knowing what truth is, is meaningless. Yogic Samadhi gives only idea of nature of the soul not wisdom.  Yogi thinks the blankness and thoughtlessness in Samadhi as ultimate truth.  Blankness or thoughtlessness experienced on the base of physical self/ego is not Self-Realization.  

The ultimate truth can be known only by inquiring, analyzing and reasoning on the true base. The yogi sees the world in his Samadhi, but he does not know that the world is Ataman, because he limits the Ataman only to the physical self.  Therefore, as soon as he comes out of his Samadhi, he is again in ignorance, whereas, the Gnani is fully aware of the fact that, his body and the world are Ataman in the midst of duality.

 Gnani understands the nature of the Self. His mind is no longer thirsty. He is the same under all conditions.

First one must give the meaning of Ataman. Ataman has to be grasped mentally.  The evidence of the existence of Atman has to be grasped mentally through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning. Noting has to be accepted as truth without verification. Until one defines what is truth he cannot say what he means.

Mere blankness and thoughtlessness in yogic Samadhi is not wisdom. One has to know the fact that the physical self is not the self and stop judging the truth on the false self.  to see you are the universal self.

One is free from ignorance not when he sees nothing at all, as in yogic Samadhi but only when he is fully aware of the fact that, all the three states are mere mirage created out of Ataman/Spirit.

Pursuit of truth is the path of verification.







People think an orthodox man who goes on worshipping God or speaking only of god all the 24 /7 is greatly revered.  The atheists think belief is a case of unbalanced obsession by exaggerating myth as reality. The religionists believe in existence of god and atheist believes in god does not exits.  Thus, both are based on the belief of god and no god, not the ultimate truth. Only the ultimate truth can be called because the whole physical existence is dependent on it.  Thus truth realization is necessary in order to realize the fat that all our individual gods propagated by organized religions is not universal truth.
 
 
Pursuit of truth is the path of verification.  Yoga takes for granted that there is an Iswara--God, gives it for concentration purposes, and then one naturally find God in his meditations. But it is only an imagined God. Mystics see what they are looking for or that whose existence they presuppose. Therefore Yoga belongs to physical existence. And physical existence is mere mirage on the standpoint of the soul, which is the true self.

The existence of god is presupposed idea invented, introduced and injected to the mass by organized religion.  Every religion has its own idea of god. Every religion thinks its god is true and others gods are fake.  Therefore, religious truth is individual truth not universal truth.   No religion cans the existence of god other then showing their scriptural authority as proof. When the self is not physical, then the individual cannot be God.  Personal experience which is not universally valid is no proof, neither is ecstatic feeling.  The experience is mere physical and experience cannot be a proof.  The wisdom arises when one becomes realizes the fact that there is no experience but the nondual awareness.

What one knows as truth must be inquired ,analyzed and reasoned on the base of true self, to see if it be true or not. Experience must be taken, checked, analyzed and corrected. It is the characteristic of all human beings to believe they understand, even when they do not. Otherwise one may be merely imagining as he likes.
 
No assumption, no faith, is needed in pursuit of truth, which demands thinking. People want only to imagine because it is easier. They do not want to think deeply because it is too troublesome.

It is not the worship of a person that is crucial, but the steadiness and depth of his devotion urge to know the truth.





It is not the worship of a person that is crucial, but the steadiness and depth of his devotion urge to know the truth. True Self itself is the Supreme Guru; seeker of truth has to be attentive to grasp the truth. The outer Guru is part of the illusion; when one is able to grasp the truth directly, he will realize the fact that, the Guru is within and the guidance will come as one starts inquiring, analyzing and reasoning.  There is no need to blindly believe and follow anyone. Every claim has to be verified then only accept if it is found to be truth without any contradiction. If anything can be contradicted then it is not the truth. The ultimate truth is un-contradictable.   


People who believe in idea of God are not aware of the fact that, the belief system is hindrance in pursuit of truth. They are unaware of the fact that their god is mere belief installed and groomed by their parents. God exits when one believes in his belief.   How do they know there is God? They believe in existence of God without verifying their belief. Deeper inquiry reveals the fact that, the ‘I’ is not the true self but the soul/spirit is the true self.  Therefore, whatever one knows, seen, believed and experienced on the base of ‘I’ as self is bound to be falsehood.  Thus, their belief of god is based on the ‘I’, which is the false self, within the false experience. In assuming God’s existence they merely guess and imagine without facts.  
 
One must make an effort to know the ultimate truth. The truth exists eternally.  There is nothing new to be acquired, only one has to have the sharp brain to grasp, understand, assimilate and realize it.

There is a difference between understanding and realization. Effort is required for this understanding only, whereas once understood no special effort is needed to remember his understanding: until then he only has an idea of the true “Self”, he only partially understand it. But once he thoroughly grasps what it is and that all these three states are mirage created out of the true  “Self”  , he will then constantly find its present everywhere without further effort, because he will perceive ultimate truth  by understanding, even in the midst of worldly existence.

When there is only one thing the Self /Spirit  knower, there is nothing to change, nothing to appear or disappear; when one speaks of remembering or forgetting “Self” that implies he  believes in the existence of something else, i.e. a second thing, which is to be remembered. That would show he has not known that all is one. But knowing it, there is no second, consequently no intermittent perception of Self/Soul, but a permanent effortless understanding that it alone is.

 
When one gets a glimpse of truth try to reflect on it a number of times in order to establish it. "The self must raise itself by the Self." One cannot know the truth until one knows stuff which created the waking/dream. The goal of pursuit of truth is to realize the nature of the true self. 
 
 
A man may speak the truth that he saw god in his vision.  But whether what he saw in vision is really God because vision itself is as real as dream.

Even if one agrees the fact that he saw a vision but the one that witnesses the vision is not physical.  The one which witnesses the waking and dream or vision is not physical. Therefore, there is a need to know the formless witness, which witnessed the waking, or dream or vision to unfold the mystery and realize the fact that, the waking experience itself is the mirage. Therefore, whatever one knows of the dream or vision in the waking experience is bound to be falsehood, and the witness of the waking experience is real and eternal.  

Think and think

Think and think




One has to become aware of the fact that the ego, body, world or whatever seen, known, belived and experienced is nothing but mind/’I’. If mind/’I’, is there the ego, body, world or whatever seen, known, belived and experienced is there. Absent of mind/’I’, absent of all these. Thus it is necessary to reduce mentally, the whole waking experience into mind. Then only it is possible to reduce the mind into Ataman/spirit. Therefore, it is necessary to understand: “What is mind? and “What is substance the mind?, in order to unfold the mystery of the duality.

The inherited conditioning of old taught and belief patterns which one does not want give up. Seeker must remain open and receptive and ready to accept for change to progress beyond all that inherited programming.

Seeker should not blindly accept anything without verifying the validity of any claims made in the F.S messages, but verify for himself all the facts by deeper thinking, and making sure what is said in the messages in un-contradictable truth. Then only accept it as truth. Deeper thinking is very essential which eradicates the old thinking pattern and inner revelation will reveal the truth one will be able to burn all the accumulated physical based dross. The wisdom does not dawn by discussing arguing, but when one starts thinking deeply, then only he will find the formless path to his non dual destination.

Seeker need s to do his own home work constantly reflecting on the F.S messages until the subconscious start replacing the old pattern of thinking faculty based on the ‘I’[form] as self to soul [formless]as self. Only serious seekers will be able to reach this state, others find it hard, because they are not ready yet.

The soul is always there waiting for everyone to focus there attention on it, but everyone is immersed themselves their own theory and imagination of truth, thus they are blind without the blindness.

Non dual Truth is pretty simple actually but man made it very complicated with his theories and imaginations”. Man has become prisoner of his own theories and imagined truth. His egocentric approach will not allow him to accept anything other then his accepted truth.
