The dream entity and the dream world are created out of
consciousness and they are not different from it; similarly the waking world
entity and waking world are also created out of consciousness. When one knows that everything is
consciousness then there is no need for yogic control of mind. Control
presupposes second, a duality. Hence yoga is in the sphere of duality and is
unnecessary to one who knows non-duality
Non dual wisdom requires investigate into the mind, analyzing the mind,
which is in the form of the universe and the universe appears as waking or dream. One has to the fact that, the mind rises and
subsides from formless source, which is soul or consciousness. The consciousness
is the innermost self. Therefore, one has to learn to judge the truth from the
standpoint of the source from where the mind rises and subsides, not from the
standpoint of the waking entity, which is the false self within the false
experience.
As one gets convinced, certain, of the truth that the world is nothing but consciousness, and there is no second thing, then he gets a conviction that, all the three states to be consciousness in the midst of duality. Realizing the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth in the midst of duality is wisdom
Waking experience is not an experience
of the waking entity. And the waking entity and the waking world are an experience within
the waking experience. Same way as the
dream entity and the dream world are experience within the dream. The dream is
witnessed as a whole. Similarly the waking also is witnessed as a whole. The
witness is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the witness is
formless soul or consciousness, which is the innermost self. On the standpoint
of the innermost self any experience is
mere illusion.
The witness is
formless soul or consciousness, which is real and eternal. The body cannot
function as a person and perceive the world without the waking experience. By
taking the waking entity as self and judging the truth is erroneous because the
waking entity and waking world are within the waking experience. The waking experience is parallel dream and
dream is a parallel waking experience. In deep sleep, waking entity and waking world
were missing. Only man and his world were available only when he wakes up.
What is that sleeps and gets up when
the body is not the self. If the one,
which wakes up and dreams and sleeps, is not the body, then how can one say, it
is waking entity’s experience, and waking entity exists only in waking. The waking is mere an experience, similar to
the dream. The waking is unreal on the base of the soul or consciousness, which
is the innermost self. Therefore,
claiming the authorship as waking entity and judging the truth on the base of the
waking entity, will keep one in ignorance of the reality of his true existence.
Only if one proves the body or ego
is the self, then only the birth, life and death, rebirth and reincarnation are
reality. If body or ego is the true self
then Advaita or Nonduality has no meaning. There is no need to inquire, ‘Who am
‘I’?’, ‘What am ‘I’?” or indulge in the pursuit of truth.
If one, agrees, the body is not the self, then
how can the birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation can be true, because
the self is formless. Only if one proves
the formless has a birth, and then only it is possible to accept the birth,
death and reincarnation as part of the reality. Thus, our body-based understanding has to be rectified
from form to formless base mentally in order to grasp the nondual truth.
For a Gnani, nobody is ever born, nobody is ever lived, and no one is ever died and no physical body ever re-incarnated, because he sees only consciousness in everything and everywhere in the midst of diversity or duality or waking and he is fully conscious that, no second thing exists other than consciousness. The diversity has no meaning for a Gnani, because he has realized unity in diversity.
