Whatever have appeared (birth, life,
death and world) has appeared on its own and it disappears on its own. Whether a person takes it as reality or
illusion it all depends on his mental and intellectual conditions will
determine the phenomenal world observed and experienced. The look of an object
will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. A Gnani viewing
the universe (practical life within the practical world) different from the ignorant
is viewing the same universe (practical life within the practical world). Each
one of them interprets the universe he sees in term of his existing knowledge. The Gnani
sees his body, his ego and his experience of the world as mere mirage created
out of consciousness whereas the ignorant sees his body as body, his ego as ego
and his experience of the world as world.
Thus experiencing the pain and pleasure
within the illusion with the illusory self, within the illusory experience, has
to be illusion. The illusion is created, and sustained, and finally dissolves
as consciousness, which is the innermost Self.
Since, there is no second thing other than the consciousness (soul); the
consciousness itself is ultimate truth or Brahman.
The one
who has realized this truth for him this illusion is passing show because he is
fully aware of the fact that his body, his ego and his experience of the world
to be consciousness. Practical peoples approach is more practical, and they are
stuck with the reality of the practical life within the practical world, they
take it as real whereas for Gnani has the firm conviction that:-Formless soul or Consciousness is the witness that
experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like
a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of
ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when
they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
What is not consciousness (formless) in the experience of
diversity (universe or waking)? The
waking and the dream cease to exist without consciousness. The seeker, seeking and his destination all are one in essence.
