The past, present and future are within the experience of duality. It is erroneous to seek the truth on the base physical entity which is bound by form, time and space. Therefore it is necessary to find the substance from which the mind rises and subsides.
The individual experience of life is nothing to with truth. On the realm of truth, the birth, life, death and universe or form, time and space or past present and future are mere mirage.
He who knows the 'thoughts and words as the consciousness, he is the knower of ultimate truth. One, who has realized the nondual Truth, has entered into the realm of consciousness, by burning away the accumulated egocentric dross, which was the cause of the ignorance, and hence he is free from experiencing the illusion as reality. In the realm of truth consciousness has no seed of ignorance of illusion. For when mirage is superimposed on consciousness has merged with the consciousness on the discrimination of the real and the unreal , it does not appear again as real to those discriminating people, just as before, from the impressions of the past persisting in the intellect.
Man, creatures and in the earth, sun moon star are one
because everything is created out of single stuff, which is consciousness. Those who understand this see through the form, time and space, and go beyond
the various sheaths of being to realize the unity of life.
Many
spiritual masters say that sticking to "I am" is way out from the
physical shackles. But that "I am" itself is creates the prison. The
one, which expresses itself as 'I', is not 'I' but it is formless
consciousness. Therefore the ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is not the self. Considering the ‘I’
or ‘I AM as self is erroneous. The self,
which is in the form of consciousness cannot be called anything nor approached
because it is prior to anything that exists. When the consciousness is the
substance of the whole universe and its
contents thoughts and words and it is
not a thing or entity or identity within the physical existence but it pervades
the whole physical existence than it is erroneous to limit the ‘I’ to the
physical entity alone.
The existence of the soul, which is the true self
has to be, has to be grasped and assimilated.' I or 'I' am is mere expression.
The
whole physical existence or universe is an expression. Thus the physical existence
or the universe is mere illusion. The man and his experience of the world and his
belief of god are within the illusory expression. The diversity is created out of single
substance and knowing that a single substance brings unity in diversity in
consciousness.
Thus the experience of duality is mere illusion. That
is mind is an illusion. The one that has this illusion is the consciousness,
which is the innermost self.
Therefore
it is erroneous to seek the truth on the base of 'I' because 'I' is not self. It
very much necessary to rectify the seeking base by proper understanding of the fact that ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is not the self before indulging in the pursuit of truth.
As long
as a person has a firm conviction that 'I' is self, he will not be able to
understand ,assimilate and realize the nondual truth, Because whatever
knowledge one assimilate he assimilates as a person, which adds to his existing
accumulated information. Therefore, the seeker has to discover the fact that 'I' is
not the self but 'I' is the whole universe, which appears in the form of mind.
The universe is mere mirage. The duality is
experienced only when the universe is present. Thus the universe is duality.
Consciousness is formless substance and the witness of the universe. Thus
consciousness is the true self and cause of the universe but it itself is
uncaused because no second thing exists other than it.
It is
necessary to have firm conviction 'I' is not the self but the formless
consciousness is the true self. To understand, assimilate and realize the
nondual truth.
