If one
merely theorizes, tries to understand through his intellect and there contended
he cannot become a Gnani but he becomes a scholar or pundit. Seeker
of truth must make what he has understood and assimilated has to be realized, to get firm conviction of the non-
dualistic truth or ultimate truth or Brahman, than
only it is possible for him to transcend all the limitations of the experience of
form, time and space.
The
existence beyond limitations of form, time and space is known as Moksha or
Nirvana. Spiritual freedom or self-realization is the goal of every seeker of
truth.
The self
–knowledge is goal of the true seeker. Self-knowledge is end of all egocentric
knowledge.
Self-knowledge
or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is declared by the Indian sages in the past has to
be mentally excavated from labyrinths of philosophy. So many conceptual divisions
invented by teachers of philosophy by their excessive analysis and different
idea of truth and interpretations. All these concepts and ideas are never
ending process.
The seeker of truth need not take the path of doubt and
confusion, which takes him nowhere. Fortunate
is the seeker who does not lose himself in the labyrinths of these theoretical
philosophies. By perfect understanding
of ‘what is what’ leads to non-dual self-awareness. Seeker has to behave in
a normal and sane way and silently
reflect on the subject constantly.
There is no body and no world in realm of truth because the body
and the world are one in essence. That essence is consciousness.
The one who has the firm conviction that, he
is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior to him and he
is born in it afterwards is egocentric.
And he is unfit to grasp the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Seeker has to trace the source of the mind or universe to
realize the fact that, mind and its formless substance and the source are one
in essence.
The truth is hidden within the mind which is in the form of universe
and it requires deeper self-search mental excavation, the removal of the
ignorance, which is the cause of experiencing the illusion or duality as
reality.
Grasping the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by illusion
or waking or universe, is to be attained through soul-centric reasoning,
followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted
egocentric arguments.
People think self-knowledge is very difficult to achieve or understand.
Self-knowledge which has to be acquired carefully and gradually, through deeper
self-search.
