The words betray the hollowness. The real cannot be described; it must be
discovered and realized. Whatever the words try to convey is only helpful to
grasp the truth. The nondual truth has to be grasped and realized. Man knows only the world, and his individual
experiences within the world. He is not
aware of the fact that, he and his experience of the world are part of the
illusion. He views and judges the truth on the base of his birth entity, which
is false entity, thus he is stuck in the muck of illusion or duality. The
nondual truth lies beyond the physical based understanding. Thus, it is necessary to verify the fact
through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning about his own inherited beliefs
and accumulated knowledge, in order to realize, how they become an obstacle in
realizing the truth.
The physical conditioning of the soul will be dropped only when it
realizes the fact that, the physical self or ego is not the self. Thus
struggling to get rid of the ego and ego based conditioning or samskara is a
foolish venture.
Constant mental pounding is necessary through
constant reflecting on the truth that, the soul is the true self and on the
base of the soul all else is mere mirage/illusion. When one grasps this truth and becomes firm
in his conviction the physical conviction drops and the nondual wisdom
dawns. Thus, one becomes aware of the
nondual truth in the midst of the experience of duality or illusion.
Reason is the
common ground for the whole humankind in the modern age, whereas the appeal to
scriptural relations reaches only the creed and sects. Those who argue that truth is only in their
religion are vain logicians, depending on mere ideas, speculations and
imaginations.
Truth is bitter
pill. It becomes very difficult for the seeker to accept it at first; because
of his inborn and also his inherited conditioning or samskara. Gradually he
will be able to grasp it as he moves on.
The illusion is
present only in ignorance where, 'I' and you are separate entities. In truth,
there is neither 'I' nor you, nor, the illusion. Therefore there is no
teaching, no teacher, and no student in reality.
Truth pursuit is
a very personal journey. The seeker has to verify minutely on his own, “what is
truth”, and “what is not truth”, before accepting anything as truth. The
illusion exists as reality, only on the base of the ego, which is he false self
within the false experience.
