All
the penances are external because they are based on the individuality.
Investigating the mind, alone leads to self-realization. To know what is
mind, profits much rather than searching the truth in external world
moving from one ashram to another and one guru to another and one
mountain to another. When one starts investigating the universe that
confronts him than he will mentally move inwards and will be able to
reach the ultimate end. And he will become fully aware “What is truth?”
and “What is untruth?” in his own home or city without disturbing his
family life. and he will be able to establish in the truth by
realizing what is untruth.
Man
is like caged animal. He cannot get out of the inherited conditioning
very easily. Ignorance makes him experience duality as reality. The
religion makes him to accept blind belief as truth pushes him in the
prison of slavery to belief based ideas or theories. Scriptures and
scholars of every belief system differ widely on every point and there
is no universality in religion. Thus religion is a useless raft to cross
the ocean of ignorance because the religion is based on individuality
and it can yield only individual truth. individuality is falsehood from
ultimate standpoint.
When
one is not aware of the fact that that, the true self is not waking
entity but the formless knower of the three state than how Can he say
he know the existence of God which is mere assumption based on the
false self within the false experience. Thus whatever one see, knows,
believes and experiences as a person of the world within the waking
experience is bound to be false hood.
Without
the knowing the fact that self is not the form but the self is formless
it is foolish to argue, judge and conclude on the base of the form
[waking entity] , which is not the self.
Without
knowing what is Self, holding ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as self because they have
read it or someone has told them or they think it is ultimate truth
without verification through deeper inquiry, analysis and sound
reasoning is mere assumption or speculation. Such assumptions and
speculation blocks one from realizing the non dual truth fueling the
egocentricity.
No
one can honestly say that he knows the ultimate truth unless he is soul
centric. Yet mystics’ god men glibly say, "I know God." And “I AM
GOD”.
If
there is Brahman-—prove it. If there is Atman--prove it right here
right now. Religious so-called philosophy dogmatically assumes both.
The
god who appears to the mystic in meditation or penance is mere
hallucination because whatever is known, seen, believed and experienced
as a person within the waking experience is falsehood because waking
experience itself is falsehood. From ultimate standpoint there is no
value for such claim.
When one does not know truth, than he can only guess, imagine, hence doubts and questions and discussions arise.
One
says God is Light. Again the light may take different colors, then
which color is correct? Some people contend that God is sound and say
one hears the Aum sound, sound inside in meditation, still others say
God is in the form of fragrant smell and that beautiful scent comes in
meditation as the presence of God. All these differences of opinion,
they can be endless, show mutual contradiction and general error, i.e.
lack of certain truth. Moreover if one sees a light he is seeing a
second thing, or duality. Where there is duality there is no reality.
God
is impotent, incompetent or lacking in intelligence--if he exists! But
all god propagated by belief systems are nothing but imaginations.
There
is nothing so absurd which men have not worshiped in religion, every
imaginable face has been given to God. If god is creator then it is
foolish to worship anything as god from his creation because the
creation is apart from the god.
One
has to know ‘What is truth?’ One cannot get rid of it by shutting his
eyes to it. It is only by inquiry, analysis and reasoning one becomes
aware of ‘what is truth?’ and “what is not truth’.
Every
belief system has its own idea and conviction of god. Thus every
belief system is based on the false self. Therefore, whatever is based
on the false self has to be falsehood? Thus the idea of god of any
belief system has is mere assumption and speculation based on the false
self.
It
is foolish say I know god and he is everywhere because he has read it
or heard from someone. How does he know God and how does he know that
he is everywhere? Appearances and quotations have nothing to do with ultimate truth.
The
difference between knowledge: - that knowledge will be determined by
the nature of the object to be known, whereas meditation will be
determined by the nature of the meditator.
