People make their accumulated knowledge as a yardstick and argue on their own standpoint. Such discussion will not lead anywhere because all the accumulate knowledge are based on the ego(false self) and the truth is based on the soul (true self). Thus, such discussion will not lead anywhere because they are totally based on different pole. Our reasoning and judgment have to be soul- centric not egocentric. It is foolish to accept the truth without verification.
Only when one becomes aware of that he is in bondage, when he gets the idea of the soul. He tries to know the soul, which is innermost self. When he becomes aware of the fact that, the inner most self is not the form, but it is formless, then only the urge of liberation arises. Once this urge arises then it is impossible to get rid of it. Thus, he becomes restless until he becomes aware of the truth he is seeking for.
The soul, which is the innermost self, is present in the form of
consciousness. The self is prior to all, bondage and liberation, truth and
falsehood. Its existence is self-proved, it cannot be doubted, for it is the
essential nature of him who doubts it.
It is known in immediate perception, prior to all proof. Self is
eternal, immutable and complete. Bondage is its association with the illusory three
states through ignorance. The self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity, but it is the formless witness of the waking or dream as the whole. Until one is ignorant he thinks on the base of his waking entity or ego as self and judges on the base of the ego or physical self. This is the cause of ignorance and cause of all doubts and confusion. Therefore, his reasoning base has to be rectifies from form to formless in order to know ‘what is truth’ and ‘what is untruth.’
