The
yogi who practices Samadhi will not be able to grasp non-dualistic or
Advaitic truth, because he thinks the self is limited to his body and
the world is apart from him. Therefore, his understanding and
realization is limited to physical self. He is unable to grasp the truth
that, the whole universe in which he exists is consciousness.
The consciousness powers the illusion (mind or universe) and consciousness can exit with or without the illusion (mind or universe).
Self-Awareness is quite different from meditation, yogic Samadhi and
practices which are based on physical self (waking entity or ego),
which is the false self within the false experience. Meditation and yoga
are not the means to acquire the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma
Gnana but they are helpful tools in the preparatory stages to make
one receptive and keep away from all the worldly distractions.
Speaking of ultimate truth and then opining that one need not inquire to
verify the facts is meaningless. Even as a method to get at ultimate
truth one has to analyze the mind [universe or waking]. Speaking is
different from realization.
Just as sugar generated from
sugarcane juice is wholly pervades by that juice, so the mind produced
in consciousness permeated by consciousness through and through.
This can be understood and assimilated only through illustration of
waking, dream and deep sleep. The body, ego and the world exist only in
waking or dream. And waking is as false as dream. In waking and dream
the consciousness pervades in everything and everywhere through and
through.
The three states appear from the ignorance of
consciousness and disappear with the knowledge of consciousness. The
mind appears from non-cognition of the consciousness and disappears with
its recognition.
The moment one knows that three states are
consciousness, there is no ignorance. One has to know the consciousness
is everything and everything is nothing but consciousness.
One
has to Begin to see his -self as a consciousness with a body and the
world rather than a body with a consciousness.-- FORMLESS PATH
