The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that ‘I’ consciousness is mere physical awareness.
When
one realizes the fact that, the whole universe and its contents,
movable and immovable, is known to be consciousness, and thus the
existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say
that the universe is universe. Universe and its contents bound to be
consciousness.
Sri , Sanakara said:- [VC]65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction,
excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it
and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out
by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya
and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower
of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not
through arguments.
One cannot expect mental spoon feeding for
everything. Seeker has to do his own homework. One will not understand
it through argument, which leads nowhere but to perversity.
That is why BUDDHA SAID: - Believe nothing just because a so-called wise
person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally
held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe
nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing
just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself
test and judge to be true.
Swami Vivekananda said: - “You have
to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you
spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
The
real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that ‘I’ consciousness
is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not self-awareness.
The self –awareness is when the formless soul or consciousness, the
innermost self remains aware of its own awareness.
Dualist sages
could not distinguish between ‘I’ and ‘formless witness.’ The 'I' was
the witness. Their highest was the Jiva. One is so much attached to the
'I' that he do not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again one is
unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real witness.
Most of the
modern Gurus are also stuck with ‘I’ awareness as self-awareness. The
‘I’ awareness is present only when the mind is present. Mind is present
only when the universe is present. Universe is present only when the
waking or dream is present. The ‘I’ awareness is absent when the mind
is absent. Mind is absent than the universe or waking or dream is
absent. Thus ‘I’ awareness is mere illusion. The self-awareness is ‘I-
LESS AWARENESS. --FORMLESS PATH
