The duality is present only when the universe is present.





Every kind of knowledge or experience is not Self-knowledge or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana. Most People believe that, Religion, Yoga, Theology, Scholasticism, Mysticism, Metaphysics and Science or the path of love and path of humanism, is thought by many sages in the past to be the tools, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. But the fact is that, truth realization is not confined to form, time and space. It does not dependent  on any of these old tools prescribed by the sages of the past, because it is apart from, time and space.  Truth realization is the truth of the whole not of the part. ‘WHO AM ‘I’ AND ‘I AM THAT’ reveals only half truth.

The truth realization is to investigate the truth of the physical existence or the universe.  It seeks the meaning of all that is seen, known believed and experienced as the person and of the world that confronts him.

Man learns from his experience that he is ever liable to err, which leads to disappointment and suffering. It naturally, therefore seeks to avoid a repetition of error. Thus he has to make efforts at seeking truth or freedom from error.  But because of ignorance he fails to investigate of his true existence. The ignorance is in the form of ‘I’.

Deeper self-search itself is a meditation. People think they don’t make progress. It is because they are not gone deep enough and they assume self- realization is some physical experience like yogic Samadhi or yogic bliss.   The self-awareness comes naturally when one becomes fully aware with the firm conviction of the existence of the formless witness of the three states.   The formless witness, which is consciousness, exists prior to the three states. Thus it is necessary for the seeker to realize what exists prior to the appearance of the three states.     

Though man is able to exercise his reason, yet he does not get to a stage at which there can be no disappointment or suffering. He has to make his "trials" as often as is necessary.  But the pity of it is that he does not realize that he has not attained the ultimate  truth, unless doubt arises as a result of disappointments or sufferings, of his own or of others.


When nondual wisdom dawns, then the universe (duality) becomes a mere mirage created out of consciousness.  The duality is present only when the universe is present.  If the universe is a 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 the 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 the 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 then 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 wedded 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 the 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
