The path of truth or wisdom is path of Christ/Brahman /Buddha.

The non-duality has to be grasped in the midst of the experience of duality.  That is, being aware of the truth and untruth, reality and unreality. And able establish himself in the truth and able to view and judge, the three states, on the base of the soul, which is ultimate truth/Brahman.

It is unfortunate people are stuck with their accumulated ideas based on the false self, and imagine about non duality and say nothing exist other then the source. But a Gnani says everything exists (illusion) but everything is created out of the soul ,which is present in the form of consciousness.  Everything rises from the soul/sprit, and subsides as soul/sprit. Thus, the whole diversity has no relevance, on the standpoint of the soul as self.

Everything (illusion) is nothingness (consciousness) realizing the three states are created out nothingness (nature of the soul). Nothingness is the nature of the soul or consciousness, because there is no second thing exist other then itself.       

The belief and experience.

The one which believes itself as body is not the body.  Only after this belief all other beliefs will arise. Thus the basic belief “I am the body” has to be there before any belief. After this basic belief, the belief of name is accepted. After the belief of body with the name, the belief of person is born. Thus, the belief of birth becomes cause  of ignorance. ignorence hides the reality of the true existence. 

 

On the base of ignorance of the true self, the belief of the man and his experience of the world are based. Thus, the truth is hidden within the belief, which is cause by the ignorance. Thus, the whole experience of diversity is caused by the ignorance.

Without the experience of diversity there is no belief, because the belief rises within the experience of diversity. When one knows the source of the experience the ignorance vanishes and one realizes the fact that, there is neither belief nor experience. The diversity is mere mirage. Thus individuality, which is based on the belief is part and parcel of the mirage.    

Thus, it is necessary to realize the fact that, the belief and experience are part of the illusion created out of the soul, which is in the form of spirit.

Many are good at acrobatics with words, but their knowledge is limited to the physical self, which is ego.  When the inner work is at progress then the realization will happen as conviction soul as self grows.   Only the chosen one by the soul will be able to realize the truth. 

 Everyone’s individual experiences are not the same.   Some are so much immersed in materiality, religion, duty bound towards their family and society, and they will not be attracted to the non-dual wisdom or understand and assimilate the non-dual truth, because they accepted the duality as reality.

The soul, the innermost self  is not Christian, Hindu or Muslim.  The path of truth or wisdom  is path of Christ/Brahman /Buddha.  The religious path is limited to individuality, whereas the spiritual path is towards universality.  Mistaking the religious or yogic path as spiritual path is greatest obstacle in pursuit of truth, because they will not lead the seeker beyond  the individuality. 

The soul is the formless substance and witness of the three states. If the formless witness witnesses the waking experience and its attention is fixed to the waking experience than the waking experience is experienced as reality. If the formless witness witnesses the dream and its attention is fixed to the dream than   the dream is experienced as reality. If the attention of the soul is on itself than it is called deep sleep in waking experience, which is the states of ignorance. If the soul consciously remains in its formless non-dual true nature in the midst of waking experience through wisdom it is called self-awareness. 

The three states are an object to the formless soul, is the subject.  The three states are state of ignorance. In all the three states the soul, the innermost self is in ignorance of its own formless non-dual true nature.   This forgetfulness is cause of the ignorance. Ignorance is cause of experiencing the three states as reality. The three states are cause of experiencing the individuality as reality.  Individuality is cause of experiencing the birth, life, death and the world as reality.  The three states are one in essence. In the realm of truth the three states are non-existent.  In self-awareness, the three states are non-existent because they are one in essence.
