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.



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.
