Every
kind of knowledge or experience is not Self-knowledge or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana. Most People believe that, Religion, Yoga, Theology,
Scholasticism, Mysticism, Metaphysics and Science or the path of love and path of
humanism, is thought by many sages in the past to be the tools, to realize the
ultimate truth or Brahman. But the fact is that, truth realization is not
confined to form, time and space. It does not dependent on any of these old
tools prescribed by the sages of the past, because it is apart from, time and space.
Truth realization is the truth of the
whole not of the part. ‘WHO AM ‘I’ AND ‘I AM THAT’ reveals only half truth.
The
truth realization is to investigate the truth of the physical existence or
the universe. It seeks the meaning of all
that is seen, known believed and experienced as the person and of the world that
confronts him.
Man
learns from his experience that he is ever liable to err, which leads to
disappointment and suffering. It naturally, therefore seeks to avoid a
repetition of error. Thus he has to make efforts at seeking truth or freedom
from error. But because of ignorance he
fails to investigate of his true existence. The ignorance is in the form of ‘I’.
Deeper
self-search itself is a meditation. People think they don’t make progress. It is
because they are not gone deep enough and they assume self- realization is some
physical experience like yogic Samadhi or yogic bliss. The self-awareness comes naturally when one becomes
fully aware with the firm conviction of the existence of the formless witness
of the three states. The formless witness, which is consciousness,
exists prior to the three states. Thus it is necessary for the seeker to
realize what exists prior to the appearance of the three states.
Though
man is able to exercise his reason, yet he does not get to a stage at which
there can be no disappointment or suffering. He has to make his
"trials" as often as is necessary. But the pity of it is that he does not realize
that he has not attained the ultimate truth, unless doubt arises as a result of
disappointments or sufferings, of his own or of others.
When
nondual wisdom dawns, then the universe (duality) becomes a mere mirage created
out of consciousness. The duality is
present only when the universe is present.
If the universe is a mere mirage than the duality also is mere
mirage. Thus all the illusory bonds of
duality brakes and the ‘self’ is liberated from the clutches of duality which
was experienced as reality. Same way as the dream becomes unreal when waking
takes place the duality becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.
Many think
that it is worthwhile to acquire the miraculous powers through the practice of
yoga and mysticism which in turn help him to create whatever they want wants in
practical life.
When the waking experience
itself is an illusion then what is the use of miracles performed within the
illusory experience. Whatever is based and performed on the base of waking entity or ego is bound to be part of
the falsehood. Hence miracles are part and parcel of illusion.
Those who are wedded to philosophical and scriptural
knowledge will permanently remain in illusion believing their philosophical
knowledge as real wealth.
Until and unless they make sure 'I' is not self and the
world is unreal through deeper self-search they are bound to believe their
intellectual accumulated knowledge as wisdom. The wisdom is knowledge of the
reality which is beyond the form, time and space.
Philosophical
and scriptural knowledge which are based on ego as self are not useful in
pursuit of truth
