Innumerable people all over the world have been killed and being
killed in the name of religion and god. This is because people are not aware of
the ultimate truth of their true existence.
Consciousness is the substratum and witness of the three states. Thus, it is erroneous to view and judge the ultimate truth on the base of the ego or waking entity, which appears and disappears, same way as the dream. The source of the waking or dream is the formless soul, the innermost self. Therefore, the source itself is the self. Thus, the truth has to be based on the source of the three states. There is no man, no world; no god exists on the standpoint of the soul as self, because the waking experience is mere mirage created out of the soul or consciousness or spirit.
"Read and be wise" but only if the light of one’s own
consciousness awakens the deep-seated understanding is an inherent quality of
the soul, the innermost self.
Path of wisdom or Gnana is opposed to
common sense because common sense egocentric whereas the wisdom is soul
centric. Common sense is habitual and imitative. Common sense is very much
required in practical life within the practical world, but in pursuit of truth
sharpness to grasp and receptiveness soul centric intelligence attitude is very
much necessary.
One
can discover these best by considering the terms of praise or blame which are
employed in behalf of commonsense. When personal views are condemned as
contrary to common-sense is applicable only in practical life within the
practical world (realm of duality).
v Personal views are
pronounced "unpractical", "too general" or
"intangible."
v Any person of common
sense feels these to be terms of reproach.
v It is implied, of
course, that to be agreeable to common sense, personal views must be "practical",
"particular" and "tangible."
Opinions, views and Judgments based on
common sense actual and implied cannot be accepted as ultimate and final
because common sense can be applied only in realm of duality.
In pursuit of truth opinions, views judgments
derived from commonsense has no value because the common sense is egocentric (form)
whereas the ultimate truth is based on soul (formless).
