Due to ignorance the illusion, which is present in the form of universe
appears to be real. And within the illusion (universe) one is conditioned to
think that, he is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior
to him and he is born in it. This
inherited conditioning of the birth conviction is very dominant in waking
experience. This inborn conviction is a great hindrance to assimilate Self-Knowledge
or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. When one realizes all the three states are one in essence and that essence is consciousness, then no second thing exist
other than consciousness. Thus
consciousness alone is real and eternal all the three states are mere mirage
created out of consciousness. Thus
consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman.
Just as the dream entity and the
dream universe in the dream,is an illusion, which appeared and disappeared, for
the realized one, this waking entity and the waking world,is mere illusion
created out of consciousness because he is fully aware of the fact that the
self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the formless knower
of the three states.
When the waking entity and the
waking world are mere illusion then the experience birth,life,death and the
world are mere illusion created out of consciousness. These beings so, how can
Prarabdha,come along with birth,when birth itself takes place within the
illusion?
Ignorance prevents one from seeing the truth.Ignorance
is the cause of the illusion. Illusion is cause of the universe. Universe is
cause of experiencing birth, life and death as reality. Until one becomes aware of the fact that, the
universe, which is in the form of mind, is myth, it is impossible to assimilate
the self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
If there is no ignorance, then
where can be the universe be?Seeing myth instead of truth, due to utter confusion,
He only sees this universe, without realizing the reality.
Once the real nature of the “true
Self” is realized,the“Universe” will not be seen as real,once knowledge of the “true Self” is gained and one
establishes in his formless true
identity ,which is consciousness , then the birth, life, death and the universe
will never remain as reality .
