Non-dualistic truth is supreme truth; all dualistic
systems hold false self as real self and false experience as reality. Non- dualistic wisdom is culmination of all
systems including theistic non-duality. The true non-dualist will not quarrel and
argue with any theoretical philosophy because he is fully aware of the fact that,
this orthodox theistic non-dualistic scholars or pundits like Dualists sages could not distinguish
between ‘I’ and ‘formless witness.’ The 'I' was the witness. Their highest was
the Jiva. One is so much attached to the 'I' that he do not want to think that
'I' does not exist. Again one is unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real
witness.
Mind is in an experience. Mind appears as waking or dream [duality]
and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality). Man and his world are within the
waking or dream. The waking experience
is parallel dream. And dream is parallel waking experience. Thus trying to experience the truth as an
individual is total impossibility. Thus
the people who are trying to experience the self as in individual are in
hallucination because self is not an individual it is universal. Self which is
consciousness pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states.
Thus the people who are expounding knowledge that self can be experienced as an
individual are playing with the feelings and sentiments of the people and make
them hallucinate and keep them permanently in the grip of hallucination. The truth has to be mentally traced and grasped,
understood assimilated and realized by deeper self-search because it is hidden within
the three states but it is beyond the three states.
That is why Sage Sri, Sankara indicated VC-65:- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction)
competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things
lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely)
called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya
and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of
Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through
perverted arguments.
66. Therefore the
wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all
the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and
deaths.
