The rebirth and reincarnation theory is based on the physical
self. The soul has no birth; therefore, it
has no death. When the birth, life and death are reality within the false
experience then the rebirth and reincarnation are reality within the falsehood. Since,
man has immersed himself in believing the duality as reality, he is unaware of
the ultimate truth.
When the seeking mind
discovers the fact that the waking entity is not the true self, then identifies
the soul as true self, and learns to view and judge the three states on the
base of the soul, then the ignorance drops. Moreover, it becomes aware of the fact that,
the three states are mere mirage created sustained and finally dissolves as soul,
which is in the form of the spirit.
Names and forms are part of the false experience. Origin of the
false experience is the soul. The soul is the formless substance and the witness of
the three states. Without the formless
witness, the false experience ceases to exist. Therefore, the false self or ego
has to trace the true self in order to overcome the duality and merge in its
formless nondual true nature.
Whatever have appeared (birth, life, death and world) has appeared on its own and it disappears on its own. Whether a person takes it as reality or illusion it all depends on his mental and intellectual conditions will determine the phenomenal world observed and experienced. The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. A Gnani viewing the universe (practical life within the practical world) different from the ignorant is viewing the same universe (practical life within the practical world). Each one of them interprets the universe he sees in term of his existing knowledge. The Gnani sees his body, his ego and his experience of the world as a mere mirage created out of consciousness whereas the ignorant sees his body as body, his ego as ego and his experience of the world as world.
Thus experiencing the pain and pleasure within the illusion with the illusory self, within the illusory experience, has to be an illusion. The illusion is created, and sustained, and finally dissolves as consciousness, which is the innermost Self. Since, there is no second thing other than the consciousness (soul); the consciousness itself is ultimate truth or Brahman. The one who has realized this truth for him this illusion is passing show because he is fully aware of the fact that his body, his ego and his experience of the world to be consciousness. Practical peoples approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the practical life within the practical world, they take it as real whereas for Gnani has the firm conviction that:-
Formless soul or
Consciousness is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the
world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a
theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with
complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal
their absence.
What is not consciousness
(formless) in the experience of diversity (universe or waking)? The waking and the dream ceases to exist
without consciousness. The seeker,
seeking and his destination all are one
in essence.
