A
well-directed self- search will lead one to find his non-dual destination. Trying to discover
the truth on the false self (ego or waking entity) is going round and round not reaching
anywhere.
One is ignorant and he asserts the
blissful, ever-existent consciousness, which exits in all the three states as
its formless substance and witness. And it is also apart from the three states.
The witness is formless and it is not an
entity and identity within the waking or dream.
Once the seeker accepts the fact that, the
self is neither the ‘I’, nor the body then realizes the fact that, the
consciousness is the true self, and he establishes himself in that conviction. Once this conviction is established the then
the waking experience is absolutely non-existent as reality.
Seeker has to try to know the fact
that, with the help of inquiry, analysis and reasoning, the true self is not ‘ego’,
but the soul, which is in the form of consciousness. Holding the ego [waking entity] as self is
cause of ignorance. The consciousness is knower of the body
and the universe.
It is very difficult for those who
strongly believe the ‘I’, as self to realize the truth. Most of the spiritual
paths hold the ‘I’, as self and spin their imagination on the base of ‘I’,
which leads them to hallucination. People mistake that self as “I” whereas the
gross bodies are many. So ‘I’ cannot be self.
By sentimentally and emotionally
getting involved with some teachings or teacher is great hindrance in pursuit
of truth. People hold their guru as ultimate authority and drop their pursuit
of truth and indulge in their glorifying and worshiping the gurus, which keeps
them in the permanently in ignorance.
