Soul-centric Reason is the highest
means of attaining Self- knowledge.
Religion, theology, mystic practice and yoga are not the means to
acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Absence of
reason is absence of wisdom.
Either the formless soul , the innermost self-witnesses the waking or dream or it does not see it at all. It means the seer is apart from the waking or
dream. When the formless witness witnesses nothing, one calls it deep sleep.
Thus one has to become mentally aware of the existence of the formless witness
of the three states, which is the formless soul, which is in the form of
consciousness. from the standpoint of formless witness of the three states there is no division in the consciousness. The whole
experience of diversity [waking or dream] is mere mirage created out of single
stuff, which is consciousness.
It is difficult to decide the truth on base of the
waking entity, which is false self within the false experience. Therefore, it
is necessary to rectify one’s observing base from form to formless, to grasp the non-dual truth. It takes time to make the faultless viewing and judging the
worldview, but as one goes deeper reflecting on the formless witness [soul] as
self, he reaches the faultless witnessing.
In the past, spirituality
was treated not as a separate subject but as a part of religion, but it is not
so. Religion is based on the form and spirituality is based on formless.
Therefore, spirituality is nothing to with religion. Spirituality is a rational inquiry regarding
all that is known to exist. Every one, each to the extent to which one's
reasoning power admits, is by nature free to exercise this faculty, at whatever
stage one may be. One is able to devote himself exclusively to a pursuit of the
highest Truth, by means of reason.
The best method of
freeing the one from his inaccurate ways of thinking is to imbue him as fully
as possible with the scientific spirit. It is therefore only one who possesses
a clear knowledge of its methods and results i.e., who is able to make reason
the highest means of inquiry that would be fit for self-knowledge.
There is no body, no
ego and no experience of the world in realm of truth because the body,ego and the
experience of world are one in essence. That essence is consciousness.
The one
who has the firm conviction that, he is an individual separate from the world
and world existed prior to him and he is born in it afterwards is
egocentric. And he is unfit to grasp the
ultimate truth or Brahman.
Seeker has to trace
the source of the mind or universe to realize the fact that, mind and its
formless substance and the source are one in essence.
The truth is hidden
within the mind which is in the form of universe and it requires deeper
self-search mental excavation, the removal of the ignorance, which is the cause
of experiencing the illusion or duality as reality.
Grasping the transparent
Truth of the self, which is hidden by illusion or waking or universe, is to be
attained through soul-centric reasoning, followed by reflection, meditation and
so forth, but not through perverted egocentric arguments.
