Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant for those who are in search for the reality
of their true existence. In pursuit of truth one need not go detail
about the physical body, ego and the world, but one has to know the unreal
nature of universe in which the physical body and the world exists. The universe is present in the form of mind. Mind appears as waking or dream. The mind means physical existence. The physical existence is body +world together is mind. Thus mind is not within the body but body and the world are within the mind. Mind cannot be traced within the body. It is foolish to trace the mind within the body. Therefore there is is need of perfect understanding of what is what before proceeding in pursuit of truth. Without understanding 'what is what' it is impossible to understand and assimilate Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The
physical existence is dependent on mind, if mind is there than only the physical
existence is there. Absent of mind is absent of physical existence.
Therefore there is need to understand what is the mind, in pursuit of
truth.
The deeper self-search reveal the fact that the
self is not physical but self is the formless soul or spirit. If self is not physical then
what is the use of searching and trying to understand and assimilate the
truth on physical base. Therefore there is a need to rectify the reasoning base from physical to the formless soul ( spirit) base in order to understand and
assimilate the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. All the doubts and confusion will
disappear as one learns to view and judge and reason on the base of the formless soul or consciousness , which is the innermost self.
Soul-centric reasoning helps to the self
examine, to test how near to the wisdom the one has approached, what
progress has been already been made in this regard and what still
remains to be accomplished. It sets a criterion of self-judgment.
The seeker of truth can lead an active life in practical life with the practical world without involving himself in
religion, god glorification, or studying scriptures and yogic practice
nor indulge in Atheism.
Intense urge of knowing the truth of true existence through perfect
understanding by using reason on the base of the soul/self. It requires
natural capacity to understand. Pursuit o truth is not for those who
want anything less than truth.
Liberation is not in next life or next world but right here, in this
very life, right now in this present experience itself. Seeker may grasp
the non-dual truth at any time, at any age if he has matured enough and
receptive to receive it.
Mind or universe or ’I’ is myth. It appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep. The individual experience
within the waking or dream is ever changing with form, shape, color, and
activities.
Waking or dream experience disappears as deep sleep and and becomes absolute
and formless and non-dual. The truth of that which becomes dual(form)
and non-dual (formless) has to be analyzed to unfold the mystery of the
mind or universe.
By Analyzing the three states one becomes aware of the existence of the formless
witness of the three states and realizes the formless witness is the soul or consciousness , the innermost self. when one realizes the witness (soul) and witnessed (mind or universe) are one in essence then the duality ceases to be reality.
