By studying various scriptures one cannot be established in the ultimate truth or Brahman. all the accumulated knowledge has to be dropped in order to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Scriptures and yoga are
preliminary steps but they are not the means to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana
Getting certainty and irrefutable proof of
our true existence without dogmatic assertion and assumption and
speculation is the attitude of true seeker. One has to know the self in
the truth.
All the study of scriptures and texts and teachings
has to be dropped when one becomes aware of the fact that, the self is
not physical but self is the soul undefined. One must think of always of the soul undefined the witness of the three states; rather than the three states.
One may enjoy work or practice meditation but he will still yarn of
that which is beyond all imagination ,all thinking and the objects and
in which all the desire are extinguished. The subconscious goal of
one’s search can only be non-duality.
Many seekers are unhappy
because they exert themselves by running one teacher to another, one
scripture to another, one teaching to another and when they don’t find
the truth, they are in uncertainty, they are unable to accept anything
else as truth, because they are sentimentally and emotionally involved
with the teacher or teaching. And they are unable to drop them, and also
unable to accept any new truth. They are interested only which please
or attracts them and they do not make an effort to know the higher
truth, which requires mental effort to understand and assimilate. They
prefer the teachings which are based on imagination.
Both
Gnani and the ignorant outwardly exerting and acting, the difference is
the Gnani is soul- centric and the ignorant is egocentric. Gnani thinks
his body and the world are unreal because he is fully aware they are
created out of consciousness.
The ignorant thinks he is an
individual separate from the world, and world existed prior to him, and
he is born in the world afterwards. Until he has this conviction he will
not be able to assimilate non-dual truth.
Activity begets
attachment; and abstention from it aversion. The one who is soul
–centric is free from pair of opposites, like a child, and is thus
established in the consciousness [soul/true self]. The nature of the
soul is equilibrium. The psychology proves that ego comes later in
life than birth, thus the child consciousness is free and not at
egocentric.
One who is egocentric is attached to the world
wants to renounce it in order to avoid the miseries of life. But one who
is soul- centric – he is in the world but not of it.
The one who
is ego-centric feels even towards liberation and considers even the body
as his own he is neither Gnani nor yogi he suffers the physical life as
reality.
Until one forgets all the accumulated knowledge he cannot be established in ultimate truth.
One has to master the self-knowledge by his own thinking, his own
experiences through inquiry analysis and reasoning on the true base.
One may learn the doctrine and master them but he will not be able to realize them that is for certain, not hear say.
The man of truth does not identify his self with body but he considers
the self to be the soul, which is in the form of consciousness.
The one who considers his-self as body with the name will not be able
to cross the threshold of duality and he keeps experiencing the duality
as reality. Therefore, he refuses to accept the physical existence as
illusion because he is in the intoxication of its reality.
