Holding the 'I' as self is holding the illusion as reality. 'I' is inborn ignorance. 'I' is inborn samskara or conditioning. 'I' is cause experiencing the illusion as reality. Therefore it is necessary to investigate to realize what is 'I' in order to unfold the mystery of mind or universe. One can get rid of the inborn ignorance(I) through sword of Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
As person, one is within
time and space. The form, time and space are within the mind. The form, time and space rise together and
subside together. Without form than there is no time and space. Without time
than there is no form and space. Without space than there is no form and time. The
form, time space together is mind. Thus form, time and space is mind. The mind is present in the form of ‘I’. Thus
‘I’ is not limited to waking entity or ego but ‘I’ is the mind. And mind is
whole universe.
The mind is in the
form of universe. The universe appears as waking or dream. No one
has ever investigated and realized the form, time and space together is
mind.
Only when the mind
is present than only the form, time and space exists. The mind is in the form
of universe. Form, time and space are present only when the universe is
present. The universe is present only in waking or dream.
The individual
experience of birth, life, death and the world are within the waking or dream.
Only when there is duality there is ignorance. When there is ignorance the
illusion is experienced as reality. When illusion is experienced as reality the
birth, life, death and the world are experienced as reality. If birth, life and death and world are
considered as reality it is impossible to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Deeper self-search
reveals the fact that, the self is neither the waking entity nor the self is
dream entity but self is formless substance and witness of the three states.
And the formless substance and witness are one in essence and that essence is
formless consciousness. The consciousness (soul) is the innermost
self. On the standpoint of the innermost
self: -
1.
The form, time and space are mere illusion.
2.
Three states are mere illusion.
Thus the formless
substance and witness of the illusion is real and eternal. The formless
substance and witness of the illusion is consciousness, the innermost self. Thus consciousness is ultimate truth or
Brahman.
Common people and primitive minds fall into faulty thinking through
their inborn(I) and inherited
conditioning , such faulty thinking and reasoning makes them accept the
experience of birth, life and death as reality ; taking what one sees
through the senses as real, taking what is apparent obvious and
superficial as true because it is less troublesome.
Many People adopt the attitude that what they know is truth.
And what others say is false. This attitude makes them not to verify
anything other then ‘what they know’, ‘what they believe ’what they see’ and
‘what they experience’. One needs to be rational, not merely
logical. Logic is has its value only in practical world.
As one advances towards spiritual plane he sees the logic underlying
experience and becomes more rational. His reasoning is two-fold--implicit and
explicit.
There is a need of facts of physical proof in scientific invention,
whereas in pursuit of truth the proof has to be grasped mentally and realized.
Therefore, the truth is realized only by few who take this mental
pursuit. “Whatever facts revealed, which is un-contradictable has to be
accepted as truth.
The truth based on the formless soul, the innermost self is worthwhile;
without it, one has something else, not truth. Most people refuse to
venture into pursuit of truth; because they do not want to go into the root of
things.
Till one
gets firm conviction of the ultimate truth he has to constantly reflect on the
nature of the innermost self, till he achieves the equilibrium. Thus renouncing the worldly life is not
necessary in order to acquire non-dual wisdom.
