.The individual experiences experienced as a person of the world is happening within the waking are ultimately unreal because from the ultimate standpoint the waking experience is unreal.

The ultimate truth or Brahman is non-dual.   The mind, which is present in the form of universe, is not ultimately true or real.  The ultimate reality belongs only to infinite, eternal, unchanging, pure consciousness.  The pure consciousness is objectless awareness, which is ultimate reality. 

  

The individual experiences experienced as a person of the world is happening within the waking are ultimately unreal because from the ultimate standpoint the waking experience  is unreal.   The entire expanse of things of things are mere mirage” analogous to a dream. 

The waking experience is reality  only on the base of false self(ego or waking entity) but the false self exists   within the false experience(waking) .  The truth cannot be got on the false base because the truth is beyond the false experience.  The false self is the product of ignorance. Due to ignorance the illusion is experienced as reality. 

Due to ignorance without being aware of the fact that, the true self is consciousness when one considers the self as physical then the mirage effect superimposes on the consciousness.  Thus the consciousness is hidden within the mirage.  Until this mirage is identified as mirage the ultimate truth will not be revealed.  The ultimate truth is consciousness, and three states are product of ignorance. 

The freedom is brought about by the removal of ignorance one’s perception.  The wisdom arises when destruction of the ignorance by learning to view and judge and conclude the truth on the base of the soul, the innermost self.  The soul is in the form of consciousness.  Once the one becomes aware of the fact that, the soul,which is present in the form of  consciousness is the true self then the superimposed mirage will not prevail as reality.  

By deeper self search one becomes aware of the inner core, which is consciousness, as it really is. Once one becomes aware of consciousness as it is mentally, then he will see the universe ,which is in the form of mind for what it is , because the mind or universe are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  The mind (universe) and the soul (consciousness) are one in essence. Thus there is unity in diversity.

 Thus, the birth, life and death, which are mere happenings within the universe is illusion because the universe, which is in the form of mind, itself is mere illusion.  The illusion appears as waking or dream(duality)  and disappears as deep sleep(non-duality).    Thus the formless substance and witness of the illusion is consciousness. And consciousness is ultimate reality or Brahman or God.

  

Wisdom makes it possible to free the soul, the innermost self, from illusion in the midst of illusion. In such case the physical death is merely the consummation of a process within the illusion.

The non-dualistic or Advaitic  truth realized through wisdom where the mind (body, ego and world) completely become one with the source from where it rises and subsides.  Thus, other than  soul or consciousness everything else is falsehood.  The individuality is reality within the mind (universe or waking) . When the mind (universe or waking)  merges into consciousness, then no second thing exist, other than consciousness. Thus, consciousness is ultimate truth.   

To say consciousness is part of the individuality is wrong because the body and the universe are created out of consciousness.   The soul or consciousness has no parts because it is formless. Consciously the mind (universe)becoming identical with the consciousness is freedom or release.     

Only intense urge leads the seeker towards non-dual destination. Only his intense urge and seriousness and sincere mental effort of deeper thinking ignites a spiritual fire and burn all his mental barriers reduced to nothingness.

As one progresses in his spiritual pursuit the subconscious burns  all the dross.   When one fully abides in the consciousness where there is no form, time and space then there is no duality or illusion. 

Just as the snow that melts in the heat of the sun cannot escape, so those who have realized the fact that, the self is not physical but self is consciousness will surely realize the fact that, the three states are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  the formless substance and witness of the three states, which is consciousness, is real and eternal. Thus consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman.
  

A Gnani is not in quest anymore because he is established in the true self which is consciousness.  People are caught up in the day-to-day quagmire of the worldly life because they have strong conviction that the birth, life death and the universe as reality. Therefore, they will not be able to accept the consciousness as true self. Thus, they experience the illusion as reality because they have accepted the false self (ego) as true self and false experience (three states) as reality.   

Only intense urge leads the seeker towards non-dual destination. Only his intense urge and seriousness and sincere mental effort of deeper  thinking ignites a spiritual fire and burn all his mental barriers reduced to nothingness. 

An examination of the ephemeral nature of the mind, which appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep leads to dispassion. Hence deeper self-search is  the first and foremost step to be taken. When inquiry, analysis and reasoning continue automatically, it results in contempt for wealth, fame, power, ease, pleasure, etc. the ‘mind’ becomes clearer for inspection. The source of ‘mind’ is the consciousness – the final goal.

When inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base takes possession of the individual, other attachments grow weaker, i.e., dispassion develops. Attachment for the ideal simultaneously grows and finally holds the field. Thus concentration grows simultaneously and imperceptibly – with or without visions and direct aids.

Without any religious background or training it becomes easier to grasp the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.   The only way towards nondual destination is, to ignore all the paths and practices. There is no need to follow anyone.  One has to trace the formless substance and witness of the three states mentally   and rip the veil of ignorance to know the fact that, all the three states are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  When one becomes aware of the fact that, the  soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the true self, then the body, ego, universe is part of the mirage.  

The ideas such as bondage and liberation are of the mirage, which is present  in the form of  mind. the mind is present in the form of universe. the universe appears as waking or dream(duality) and dispersal as deep sleep(non-duality).  One has to simply abandon all craving and through wisdom and dispassion bring about the cessation of the mind. Even if the desire to be liberated" arises, the mind (illusion) will prevail as reality.

 The ego is like  a monkey within the jungle of illusion. Totally fascinated by the realm of the senses, it swings from one desire to the next, one conflict to the next, but its existence is limited to the mind, which is illusion. 

Let this illusion go. Let the mind go. Let duality go. Let conflicts go. Let experience go. Let the fiction of birth, life death and universe go. Just by remaining soul centric,  the ignorance vanishes. When the ignorance vanishes then the whole mind (illusion) which contains    duality, conflicts, experience, factious birth, life, death and universe becomes unreal.  All the mental barriers will be reduced to nothingness, which is consciousness.

When non-dualistic or Advaitic wisdom dawns, than the universe (duality) becomes mere mirage created out of consciousness.

When non-dualistic or Advaitic wisdom dawns, than the universe (duality) becomes mere mirage created out of consciousness.  The duality is present only when the universe is present.  If the universe is mere mirage than the duality also is mere mirage.   Thus all the illusory bonds of duality brakes and the ‘self’ is liberated from the clutches of duality which was experienced as reality. Same way as dream becomes unreal when waking takes place the duality becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.

Many think that it is worthwhile to acquire the miraculous powers through practice of yoga and mysticism which in turn help him to create whatever they want wants in practical life. 

When the waking experience itself is an illusion than what is the use of miracles performed within the illusory experience. Whatever is based and performed on the base of  waking entity or ego is bound to be part of the falsehood. Hence miracles are part and parcel of illusion.

Those who are weeded to philosophical and scriptural knowledge will permanently remain in illusion believing their philosophical knowledge as real wealth.

Until and unless they make sure 'I' is not self and world is unreal through deeper self-search they are bound to believe their intellectual accumulated knowledge as wisdom. The wisdom is knowledge of the reality which is beyond the form, time and space. 

Philosophical and scriptural knowledge which are based on ego as self are not useful in pursuit of truth

People indulge in prayers asking god ‘God give me this, give me that, and save me.' They are seeking in prayer is not God, what they are seeking is security and happiness. Ultimately what they want with prayer is their well being not truth; they are not willing to admit it. 

The first step is to know the true self is not ‘I’ but the witness of the ‘I’, which is the formless soul, and then only it is possible to cross the threshold of limitations (duality).

If one sincerely looks at his deepest motivation for religion, he will see he has never aspired for the ultimate  truth or Brahman. His aspiration was never for the ultimate. His aspiration is for comfort, for wealth, for power, pleasure.  Everyone thinks God is a tool to achieve all those things. When he is seeking protection or materialist things, greed and fear have become the basis of his prayer and attachment to the personal god. 

Ordinarily, one thinks prayer is a means to reach God, but what does he really know about God? If we are truthful, he must admit he have no direct experience of God; he is coming from a particular belief system. The danger in using prayer to reach a God, he has no direct experience of, can be illusionary. Thoughts and prayer can open a person but at the same time they can create hallucinations. 

It is time that one to realize the fact that,  looking to God will not help until he looks at his own ignorance. God cannot exist without man. Man cannot exist without the soul. Thus man and his belief of god are dependent on the soul.  The personal god can exist only in experience of duality (waking or dream).  When the duality is mere illusion on the standpoint of the soul which is the true self, then whatever experienced as reality within the duality is mere illusion. 

The soul is inherent in everything and everywhere in the three states. Therefore the duality (‘I’/waking/dream) rises and subsides in the soul.  Thus the permanent is the formless  soul, the innermost  self and the three states are impermanent. The impermanent is illusion on the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self, which is eternal

Theory of Creator and creation is religious fable. Idea of creator and creation is possible only in duality. Duality is mere illusion from ultimate standpoint.  In non-dual reality there is neither creation nor creator. Cause and effect theory holds good only when the judgment and reason is based on the base of the false self within the false experience. 

If there is a watch then there has to be a watch maker, therefore if there is creation there has to be a creator.  If this is so, than who is the creator of that creator. It is never ending thought process and it is impossible to find answer and to reach any conclusion and reach ultimate end.  Such dualistic theories are imagined theories holding the false self as real self and false experience as reality. Therefore there is a need to first to make sure whether the self is form or self is formless before accepting any theories. All this religious theories can only satisfy those who are not interested in knowing the truth of their true existence but who are immersed in the practical life by accepting the practical world as reality. Orthodox classes are the prisoners of theoretical teachings and theoretical philosophy who stay like frog in the pond and lock themselves egocentric prison.  

Until they drop all this priest oriented baggage it is impossible to reach the ultimate end of understanding. Without reaching the ultimate end Self–Realization is impossible. By surrendering to any physical guru and indulging in his service, by following his instruction will not lead the seeker to the inner path. The mantra, tantra and yantra are not the means for self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

 The hallucination created by religion such as god, heaven, hell, karma, sin when they start growing; they take on such a big dimension. The cinema is more powerful than real life, given that one can just exaggerate it the way he want it. When the illusory process gets exaggerated, it becomes more powerful than life. That is why seeker of truth stays away from belief system. Inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the base of the soul as self is reliable method to reach the realm of the soul, which is ultimate reality.

From ultimate standpoint there is nothing exist other than consciousness. The universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness; therefore its contents are also consciousness. Thus the individual experience of the birth, life, death and the world are part of the mirage.  Thus the mirage which appears as universe is created out of consciousness. 

People who believe god as creator are deluded because they are unaware of the fact that, the self is not the form but self is formless consciousness. They will not be able to accept anything other than their practical experience in this practical world.  Therefore, people who are deep rooted conviction of their belief system are not qualified for pursuit of truth. And seeker of truth should avoid discussion religious minded people.   

Without knowing the true self is not ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ non dual realization is a distant dream. One who is stuck with his inherited conditioning and accumulated knowledge from what he has heard or read and assimilated and accepted them as truth, is not receptive to assimilate self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Seeker has to verify on every angle through deeper self-search and accept only un-contradicted truth. The spiritual truth cannot be contradicted. Religious truth is not universal.

Idea of God as a creator holds good theoretically. God and guru glorification is not needed but intense urge and receptiveness is needed in pursuit of truth. Seeker has to get rid of all his remove all the doubts and confusion with deeper self-search. 

To acquire self-knowledge, it is very much necessary for the seeker has to be free from all sorts of egocentric knowledge such as religious and yogic or any sort of philosophical knowledge. 

The self is neither the waking entity nor it is the dream entity but is the formless substance and witness of the three states. All the three states are mere mirage created out of consciousness. Consciousness is the formless substance and witness of the three states. The substance witness are one in essence, therefore there is no second thing exists other than consciousness.

The seeker has to shun the three states as illusion to find detachment, wisdom, and freedom

The seeker has to shun the three states as illusion to find detachment, wisdom, and freedom.  By accepting the soul   as self one gets yardstick to know what is truth and what is illusion. 

 

The dream illustration is best illustration to know the waking experience is also as unreal as dream.  The dream was experienced without the physical apparatus as a whole.  The dream entity and dream world were within the dream.  Dream appeared as whole, and disappeared as a whole.  Deeper self-search revels the fact that, the waking also is also similar to dream. 

The waking is parallel dream and dream is parallel waking.   The substance and witness of the dream and waking is one and the same. Thus the self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the formless witness of the three states. Therefore it is necessary to make sure the existence of the formless witness which is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity. 

 The waking also is witnessed without the physical apparatus, because the waking is still on. And the waking entity perceives the world as reality within the waking experience.  Thus the waking entity is in ignorance and experiences the illusory duality as reality. Thus the individual experiences of birth life, death and world are experienced as reality within the waking experience. But waking experience itself is mere mirage on the standpoint of the formless witness. 

Only when the waking entity gets rid of the ignorance through deeper self-search than it becomes aware of the fact that the self is neither the waking entity nor dream entity but the formless knower of the three states and realized are mere mirage created out of consciousness. 

If one realize that the mind which is in the form of universe is mere mirage created out of soul, which is in the form of  consciousness s, that there is absolutely no difference between them than he realizes the fact that his existence as person within the world is mere mirage created out of consciousness. Thus he becomes aware of the fact that, the man and universe is within that mirage. Thus his physical existence along with his experience of the world is falsehood. 

Just as in dream universe appears to exist outside the body, but is inside mind. It appears to be outside because of ignorance and the illusion is experienced as reality. For just as when one wakes up after dream, all the people, towns, mountains and ocean of dream are then known to be inside his mind, it was only ignorance, which placed them outside his-self. 

Whole universe is a created out of consciousness and universe which appears in the form of mind is myth.  The birth, life, death and the world are experienced within the mind. 

People think the mind is confined to be a little thing like one's brain.  Deeper self-search reveals the fact that it is not so. The mind is the whole universe in which man exists and experiences his individual experience of birth, life and death.  The form, tine and space are reality within the illusory universe. Universe appears as waking or dream.  The    three states are mere mirage on ultimate the standpoint. People are unprepared to accept the truth because they are in the grip of ignorance.   Most people will never accept the truth because they have accepted their physical identity as self and practical life within the practical world as reality. 

It is very difficult to trace the source of the universe without understanding what is mind.  One has to know the fact that; the mind and universe appear together and disappear to gather. If mind is there then only the universe is present. If mind is absent than the universe is absent. Thus one has to conclude the mind itself is universe. 

In deeper self-search one becomes aware of the fact that, the mind is not within the body but body and the experience of the universe are within the mind.   Thus it is erroneous to limit the mind to the physical entity and think the mind is within the body. 

If the whole body is scanned only one can see functions of all the organs but it is impossible to trace the mind because the mind is not only the person but also the universe.  Until this truth is assimilated it is impossible to move deeper in pursuit of truth.

In sleep, it is quite blank. Similarly, if one looks into a seed, he does not see the tree there. Nevertheless, both world and tree are developments from ignorance and seed.  Thus ignorance is the seed of the universe. If the truth revels than there is neither ignorance nor the universe.
