In the realm of Non-duality all contradictions are dissolved

 When one is thirsty, he cannot sit idle but  he runs about for water. Till  the thirst for truth has not come, he is immersed in the worldly pleasures. The desire for knowledge has not grown strong in people; therefore they are satisfied with the worldly or religious life. One who is in quest for truth begins to inquire deeply till  he reaches his destination.

Seeker has to discriminate between the three states and realize the fact that, body, world, people are all in waking and waking experience is absolutely unreal like a dream.

Seeker has to always think that his  body, his ego and his experience of the world  are mere mirage created out of consciousness. The mind, which is present in the form of consciousness is contained within the soul. the soul is present in the form of  consciousness.  

The indivisible changeless, effulgent consciousness is lying hidden under these delusive veils; therefore its real nature is unknown to waking the waking entity,which is the false self within the false experience. The direction of the waking entity(ego) which always runs after the senses has to be turned within. Waking entity(ego)  has to overcome the ignorance in order overcome the illusion. 

The body and universe is but gross -- it dissolves as the consciousness. Because of the accumulated mental impressions it remains till the Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is obtained. Therefore, the seeker has to indulge in soul-centric discrimination to realize the mind and soul are one in essence. When the seeker  realizes of the formless substance and witness of the mind  and the the substance and witness are one in essence then  all limiting adjuncts vanish and he  establishes  in ultimate reality or Brahman.

It is difficult for people to direct their attention  on the soul, the innermost self  because of their inborn and  inherited conditioning.

The reasoning base has to be rectified from form to formless in order to discover, understand, assimilate and realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth. The rectified reason functions, through discerning inquiry, to dissolve the mind in pure consciousness, from where the mind rises and subsides. And as the rectified reason functions, it makes use of mind reflectively, in order to bring mind back to consciousness, which is the source from where the mind rises and subsides. There is no question of the rectified reason being an instrument of any mind. It is always the other way about.

The thoughts and feelings did not exist prior to the appearance of waking.  Only after the appearance of the waking  the man became aware of the world  and his individuality.  Only in waking experience one is aware of the birth, life, death and the world. Thus waking  appears as a whole and disappears as a whole. the waking experience is parallel dream and dream is parallel waking experience.  Deeper inquiry revel the fact that, the self is neither the waking entity nor the self is dream entity but the self is formless soul,which witnesses the coming and going of the three states. the the three states are not the experience of the waking entity  but  of the formless  soul, the innermost self. the soul is present in the form of consciousness. Thus the soul or consciousness is one and the same thing.

 The process of ‘rectified reason’ is purely empirical. Each question is tried out to see what result it leads to. And then, further questions rise empirically. They rise from actual experience of the result, not just from imagining or theorizing in advance what it might be. Thus, the process must go on relentlessly, until the actual experience of a truth where questions do not further rise – where all possibility of questioning is utterly dissolved. All this requires that each questioning attack is turned back upon one’s own mistakes of assumption and belief. Otherwise, the reasoning is merely theoretical based on the waking entity.

The inquiry is to get un-contradictable truth.  That is possible only through soul-centric  reasoning .

Since change and time do not apply to consciousness, that consciousness is a changeless and a timeless principle of all experience. Consciousness illuminates the whole waking experience(universe). Consciousness illuminates the whole Dream. In deep sleep, consciousness shines alone. In all these states, it remains the same. It is always utterly unchanged in its own existence, which illuminates itself.

Ultimate truth is accessible to anyone who has intense urge to know the ultimate truth and who is ready to drop all his accumulated dross in order to acquire self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  The Seeker has to hole the deep sleep experience as a ‘key to the ultimate reality. If a seeker is ready to consider deep sleep as true self, then this alone is enough, without the need for a yogic cultivation of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.  On the standpoint of the deep sleep, the waking and dream are mere appearances.

 In the realm of duality one seeks truth. In the realm of Non-duality all contradictions are dissolved. Consciousness never parts with in any of the three states. In deep sleep, the consciousness(soul)  is in its true nature. In waking or dream, it witnesses the experience as the whole. It is nothing to with the individual experience happening within the waking or dream because the three states are mere an object to the soul or  consciousness, which is the subject.
