There is no form, time and space in the realm of Reality.




There is no form, time and space in the realm of Reality. Time and space is only limited to the physical realm

One comes to the conviction, on the strength of deeper self-search, that the universe is, after all, not absolutely real; it has only a parlance, practical reality.  The individual experience of birth, life, death and the world are reality within the waking experience but the waking experience itself is mere illusion form the standpoint of the formless witness of the three states. The formless witness is consciousness. And Consciousness is the innermost self and it is not an individual.  Holding the self as an individual is cause of experiencing the birth, life, death and the world as reality.

  The delusion that the world is endowed only with a parlance, practical truth goes when one gets the direct realization of the consciousness, which is the innermost self and ultimate truth or Brahman. 

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the universe or waking does not enjoy any reality.  Consciousness alone is the ultimate truth and the perceived world is only a dependent, reality.

The perception of the world as just an appearance, like the mirage water appearing to give an impression of water, yet known to be just an appearance, ends when the ignorance comes to an end and the Gnani no longer has the egocentric worldview because he has the soul-centric worldview.  A Gnani uses the egocentric worldview for the practical purpose in practical life but he is fully conscious of the fact that, the experience of birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion created out of consciousness.   

As flowing rivers disappear in the sea, losing their names and forms, so a Gnani, freed from name and form, attains the Gnana or non-dual wisdom.
 
Self –knowledge brings unity in diversity in perfect understanding of the nondual truth in the midst of diversity and conscious total merger of matter in the spirit.  All names and forms within the waking experience loses their sense of reality same way the dream experience loses its sense of reality when waking takes place.  


Self-knowledge gives us knowledge inform us of the true nature of the ego, universe and ultimate truth. All these three are connected in such a way that the knowledge of one without the other is incomplete.  Gaining this comprehensive knowledge constitutes liberation, from experiencing duality [universe] as reality.
