If ‘self’ is neither the physical body nor the ego, therefore self is without the
body and without the ego. If self is without the body and without the
ego means it is without the world because the body, ego and the world
they appear together as waking or dream and disappear together as deep
sleep. Therefore, the self is nothing to do with the waking entity and
waking world because it is ever formless. Therefore, one has to find
out what is that appears as waking and what is that appears as dream
and what is it that disappears as deep sleep instead of inquiring WHO AM
‘I’? , which is limited only to the waking entity and waking
experience. Without inquiring into the nature of the all the three
states the truth will be unfolded because the consciousness is not
limited to waking experience alone but it pervades all the three states.
Since the sense of ‘I’ is present only when the mind (universe or waking or dream) is present and it disappears along with mind. The seeker will come to conclusion after thoroughly verifying this fact through deeper self-search and then come to firm conviction that ‘I’ is mind and mind is universe and universe appears as waking or dream. This ‘I’ is not the self. Holding ‘I’ as self is erroneous because ‘I’ (mind or universe or waking) is mere illusion.
If one has understood what ‘truth ‘really is “than there is no necessity to know ‘Who am I? or ‘I am that’. ‘WHO AM I?’ or ‘I AM THAT’ reveals only half-truth because they are limited to individuality and reveals only the unreal nature of the ego. Ego is individuality whereas the self is not an individual because self is formless consciousness. Thus the journey is incomplete. Seeker has to go much deeper know the full truth about the ‘self ‘which is beyond form, time and space.
The bookish knowledge is not wisdom. The knowledge accumulated from intellectual spoon feeding from the intellectual wise men is not wisdom. The persons who are propagating only half-truth as absolute truth are playing with feelings of the seeker with ornamental words. The people who are stuck with half-truth think they have already realized and think that they are realized truth and they try to snub others and expect to follow their own terms without realizing they have not yet completed their inner journey.--FORMLESS PATH
