Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the destroyer of
ignorance. The formless Soul or consciousness, the innermost self, is the inner Guru, God, the all-pervading principle and the
cause of all three states.
The serious seeker should
constantly reflect on the true self constantly through inquiry, analysis and
reasoning, which is in the form of consciousness because it is the only means to
acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana . Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the only tool for
the acquisition of final freedom from experiencing the illusory duality as
reality.
Seeker has to have the
indifference mentally to all the three states because the three states are mere
mirage created out of consciousness. Holding the three states as reality is great
hindrance in pursuit of truth. Thus one has to remove all the obstacles and
mental barricade one by one by realizing the self is not the form but the self
is formless. The three states are
perishable in their nature because they are
mere mirage created out of consciousness. The consciousness, which is
the formless substance and witness of the mirage, is real and eternal. Thus the consciousness is the inner most
self. And knowing and realizing consciousness as self is the means to the
attainment of Self- Realization or Truth Realization.
Consciousness is the true self is the
formless substance and witness of the three states is alone real and permanent.
The three states are an object opposed to it, which is transient – such a
settled conviction is truly known as discrimination.
Turning attention completely from
all the three states and concentrating only on consciousness which is the
formless substance and the witness of the three states is the only means to
acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Intense urge to become free from
the bonds of this birth, life deaths and world, leads one to indulge in pursuit
of truth.
Only serious seekers who have an
intense urge to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana should have courage to discard the
false-knowledge with a view to attaining non-dualistic wisdom.
