The dream entity and the dream world are created out of consciousness and they are not different from it; similarly the waking world entity and waking world are also created out of consciousness.




The dream entity and the dream world are created out of consciousness and they are not different from it; similarly the waking world entity and waking world are also created out of consciousness.   When one knows that everything is consciousness then there is no need for yogic control of mind. Control presupposes second, a duality. Hence yoga is in the sphere of duality and is unnecessary to one who knows non-duality

Non dual wisdom requires investigate into the mind, analyzing the mind, which is in the form of the universe and the universe appears as waking or dream.  One has to the fact that, the mind rises and subsides from formless source, which is soul or consciousness. The consciousness is the innermost self. Therefore, one has to learn to judge the truth from the standpoint of the source from where the mind rises and subsides, not from the standpoint of the waking entity, which is the false self within the false experience.


As one gets convinced, certain, of the truth that the world is nothing but consciousness, and there is no second thing, then he gets a conviction that, all the three states to be consciousness in the midst of duality. Realizing the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth in the midst of duality is wisdom


Waking experience is not an experience of the waking entity. And the waking entity   and the waking world are an experience within the waking experience.  Same way as the dream entity and the dream world are experience within the dream. The dream is witnessed as a whole. Similarly the waking also is witnessed as a whole. The witness is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the witness is formless soul or consciousness, which is the innermost self. On the standpoint of   the innermost self any experience is mere illusion. 

The witness   is formless soul or consciousness, which is real and eternal. The body cannot function as a person and perceive the world without the waking experience. By taking the waking entity as self and judging the truth is erroneous because the waking entity and waking world are within the waking experience.  The waking experience is parallel dream and dream is a parallel waking experience.   In deep sleep, waking entity and waking world were missing. Only man and his world were available only when he wakes up.

What is that sleeps and gets up when the body is not the self.  If the one, which wakes up and dreams and sleeps, is not the body, then how can one say, it is waking entity’s experience, and waking entity exists only in waking.  The waking is mere an experience, similar to the dream. The waking is unreal on the base of the soul or consciousness, which is the innermost self.  Therefore, claiming the authorship as waking entity and judging the truth on the base of the waking entity, will keep one in ignorance of the reality of his true existence. 

Only if one proves the body or ego is the self, then only the birth, life and death, rebirth and reincarnation are reality.  If body or ego is the true self then Advaita or Nonduality has no meaning. There is no need to inquire, ‘Who am ‘I’?’, ‘What am ‘I’?” or indulge in the pursuit of truth.

If one, agrees, the body is not the self, then how can the birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation can be true, because the self is formless.  Only if one proves the formless has a birth, and then only it is possible to accept the birth, death and reincarnation as part of the reality.  Thus, our body-based understanding has to be rectified from form to formless base mentally in order to grasp the nondual truth.   

For a Gnani, nobody is ever born, nobody is ever lived, and no one is ever died  and no physical  body ever re-incarnated, because he sees only consciousness  in everything  and everywhere  in the midst of diversity or duality or waking  and he is fully  conscious  that,  no second thing exists other than consciousness.   The diversity has no meaning for a Gnani, because he has realized unity in diversity.
