Thoughts like “I” and “I am” will
not cease until one realizes What ‘I’ really is . One has to understand the fact
that, the thought will not rise without the waking or dream therefore, the
waking or dream has to be there prior to real thought process. Thus thoughts
are nothing to do with the formless witness of the waking or dream. Thoughts are concerned to the individual not
to the formless witness. Thus whatever
is part of the mind has to be falsehood.
Thus the thoughts, which arise to the false self(waking entity or ego) within the false
experience(waking or universe) is bound to be falsehood.
Thus it is erroneous to trace the source of the thought instead on has
to first realize the fact that the ‘I’ is not the self. And ‘I’ is not the limited to the physical
entity but ‘I’ is whole universe, which appears as waking or dream and disappears
as deep sleep.
If ‘I’ is there then the mind is
there. If mind is there then the universe is there. And the universe is present
only when waking or dream is present.
One see differences between things
because of ignorance, all these differences would vanish when one gets wisdom
and the various thoughts rises because one considers ‘I’ as self.
The cause for this ignorance and the universe, is subtle and one
without second and unchanging existence,Similar to the water being the cause of
clouds and snow.
One must be desirous of knowing
the ultimate truth. Pursuit of truth is most difficult. But it is not difficult
for those serious seekers who want nothing other than the truth. Receptivity is needed in pursuit of truth.
Accumulated knowledge or scriptural mastery or logical conclusions are not
yardstick in pursuit of truth.
One cannot imagine the truth and
imagination is not truth. Imagination is possible only when there is duality.
Duality is false hood. All our
individual experiences are part and parcel of the duality. Therefore our individual experiences of
birth, life, death and the world are falsehood. To realize it is falsehood one
has to realize the fact that, the self is neither the waking entity nor the
dream entity but the self is the formless substance and witness of the three
states.
Getting rid
of world does not mean that it must become imperceptible to the senses. It
means that one must know that it is destructible, it is ever-changing. One must
know its real nature; its unreality. He must give up the notion that it is
real. The knowledge of consciousness cannot destroy the objective world, but
can only give him the idea that it is unreal.
Modern science proves that everything is changing every moment.
Spirituality has to consider and answer the questions: How that which changes,
appears to be, changeless?
