Non-duality is taught by some; some others teach duality. They don't understand that the all-pervading Reality is beyond both duality and non-duality.

 Avadhut Gita :-Non-duality is taught by some; some others teach duality. They don't understand that the all-pervading Reality is beyond both duality and non-duality.

There is no colour or sound to the one Reality; It has no qualities at all. How can one even think or speak of that which is far beyond both mind and speech?

When you know all this universe of forms To be as vacant as the sky, Then you'll know Brahman; Duality will forevermore cease to be.

To some, the Self appears as other; to me, the Self is the soul. Like undivided space, soul one alone exists.
How, then, could the subject and object of meditation be two?

Nothing of what I do or eat, or give or take, Exists for soul the innermost self; self is purity itself, beyond birth and death.

Know that the whole of the universe is without any form. Know that the whole of the universe is forever unchanging. Know that the whole of the universe is unstained by its contents. Know that the whole of the universe is of the nature of the formless soul, which is Brahman or God.

Soul, the innermost is the ultimate Reality; have no doubt. The soul innermost self is not something known by the ego; the soul, the innermost self is the very one who knows! How, then, could you think to know the Self? (  Dattatreya's Song of the Avadhut 1.36-42)

--

The idea that you are  So-and-so can never be true; it is a day-dream. Know this and be free. This is the Advaitic or non-dualistic  conclusion. "Self"  neither the body, nor the organs, nor the 'Self' is  the mind; self is  Existence, Knowledge, and Awareness absolute; self is the formless soul ." This is true knowledge; all reason and intellect, and everything else is ignorance. Where is knowledge for the 'formless soul, the innermost self' , for the 'Self' is  knowledge itself! Where is life for 'Self' , for the 'Self' is  life itself! self is  sure it  lives, for the 'Self' is  life, the One Being, and nothing exists except through the 'Self', and in the 'Self' , and as the 'Self', which is .

It is the Self that is in illusion and it is the self that gets free from the bondage of the illusion. The illusion is present in the form of mind. Mind is in the form of universe. Universe appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep.   The individual experiences of birth, life, death and the world are within the waking experience.  The dream is parallel waking experience and waking is parallel dream.

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the, self is neither the waking entity nor the self is the dream entity but the self is formless soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states in succession without the physical apparatus.  This has to be mentally grasped and assimilated to realize the formless soul, the innermost   self is nothing to do with the three states. On the standpoint of the three states, the three states are mere illusion.

The practical life within the practical world, which is present as waking experience, is mere illusion. If waking experience is mere illusion than the individual experience of birth, life, death and world are mere illusion.   If the experience birth, life death and the world are mere illusion, it means the form; time and space are mere illusion.  If form, time and space are mere illusion, it means the past, present and future is mere illusion. Thus it is necessary for the seeker to realize the fact that,   form, time and space are one in essence, in order to realize the three states are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus all the diversity is created out of   formless consciousness. Thus no second thing exist other than consciousness, the innermost self. Seeker of truth has to constantly reflect on the subject in order to get firm conviction of the truth.  Seeker has to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes reality. One needs to constant reflect on the subject until he gets firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets firm conviction of ‘what is what. 

Experience is prior to thinking.  Without waking experience thinking is  impossible.  The thinking takes place within the waking experience. The thinker and the thought and the world are within the waking experience. The thinker,thought and the world are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. 

Without the Waking experience, the person and the world cease to exist. The person can think only within waking experience. Without the  Waking experience how can the person think? Therefore thinking is possible only within the  waking experience. 

Thought is not the means to realize the self. The thought is the product of false entity. The thought cannot form without the form,time and space. Form, time and space  are part of duality and duality is mere illusion from the ultimate standpoint. Thought keeps one in the realm of duality.  The duality ceases only when the thought,thinker and the world ceases. Thought is the tool to understand,assimilate and realize the ultimate truth in the realm of duality.  The mind becomes still  when the wisdom dawns because the mind rests in consciousness. 

Only a reversal thinking through inquiry and reasoning and analysis will lead one towards non-dual wisdom. Thinking is only a tool to move towards non-dual destination.  Instead of searching the source of the thought, it is better to search the source of the mind or the universe or waking experience, to unfold the mystery of the existence.

Words are needed until one gets firm conviction of ‘what is what. People need reading and hearing the words to think deeply and reach the ultimate end.   Formless Path blogs and Inner Path blogs helps the seeker to remove the mental blockade, which is blocking his realization. And it also helps to dispel the all the inborn and inherited conditioning or samskara from the subconscious. FP and IP blogs will help  not only as information to move at right direction to reach ultimate end of understanding but also helps as subconscious suggestions, which is very much necessary to establish in non-dualistic  reality.  By repeated reading and reflecting FP and IP blogs helps the seeker. FP and IP blogs are not teaching or theory. It only helps the seeker to remove the all the obstacle in the path of truth and reach the ultimate end in lesser time and effort.
