To explain to
beginners to study the ultimate truth in layman’s
language and as brief as possible is a hurricane task. One has to indulge in
pursuit of truth without using religion or scriptures or yoga and belief of god,
how would they do, when they firmly
think a guru or god men or pundit as source of Self-Knowledge or Brahman Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Part of
the readiness of any person to listen to any kind of knowledge, including worldly
knowledge, is the willingness to hear and the necessity to ask for that
specific knowledge.
Preaching is not
teaching. Someone willing to know the truth must realize the fact that there is
“no need to study the Scriptures, and indulge in religious rituals and there
is no need practice yoga?
The nature of the true self is non-doer ship, and the
qualification `One' to elevate its non-dual nature in the experience of
diversity, to bring unity in diversity. That
is to say, just as the one sun lights up the entire universe, so does the one
Self infuse life and activity into the waking or dream world.
Through different mental apparatuses, the Self appears to
manifest itself differently in different bodies, but it is for the seeker to
realize the fact that, the man and the world appears within the waking or dream.
Without the waking or dream, the man and the world cease to exist. Thus, waking
or dream are mental states, and they are impermanent in nature. Thus seeker has
to indulge in deeper thinking through inquiry, analysis and reasoning to get
the firm conviction about thee facts.
Nevertheless, like the sun, the Self neither
performs the actions pertaining to the bodies nor does it cause them to be
performed, nor is it tainted by evils like duality or partiality etc because
all man is the doer within the world and world exits within the waking or dream.
The self is the formless witness of the three states. That to immortal Self ever remains pure,
conscious action-less, immutable, unchanged, impartial and stainless under
every circumstance.
Dispelling one's ignorance is important for the realization of the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth. The means of dispelling ignorance is possible only through perfect
understanding derived from inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base.
By means of nondual wisdom one is able to realize that man and the world are within the experience of duality (waking or dream) and waking and dream is an object the true self which is the subject.
Waking or dream is
knowable, subject to change, perishable, mutable, material and transient;
whereas the Soul, the innermost self is its
knower, conscious, changeless, action-less, eternal, imperishable, unattached,
pure, of the same stuff as Knowledge, and one; that the two being wholly
diverse in character.
The true soul or
consciousness, the innermost self is entirely different from the `waking or dream
or duality'; that the apparent identity of. The two is rooted in ignorance;
that, in reality, the `true formless soul, the innermost self ' has no connection whatsoever with the `waking
or dream or duality '. This is what is meant by perceiving with the eye of
wisdom the difference between the `waking or dream or duality ( mind ) and the
` formless witness or soul or conciousness, the innermost self.
