When one goes into the annals of the history, it looks like the true Advaita expounded by Sri Sankara and Sage Sri, Goudpada was lost or mutilated by the orthodox, because the preaching and practice do not match.
It is necessary for the seeker to do his homework, and verify the validity of all the claims, rather than blindly believe, what others expound as knowledge, till; the un-contradicted truth is obtained.
The seeker must have the courage of Buddha to accept the truth and reject the untruth. Since Buddha rejected religion, idea of god and scriptures, therefore, it is evident that, he has gone through every aspect and verified and found them to be inadequate and useless for the pursuit of truth.
Even Buddhism is mixed up with regional culture and traditions of the local religion, wherever it existed. Thus to get the full essence from Buddhism is very difficult.
The scriptures are for ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material world as it presents itself. Wisdom is for those who have begun to realize that things are not what they seem.
Whatever,
Scientists are able to monitor the pattern of brain activity through modern
scientific equipments are based on the physical self (ego). The
physical self and the physical activities are limited to the physical
existence. The physical existence is
nothing to do with the ultimate truth.
The ultimate truth is that which is responsible for creation and
sustenance of the physical existence.
The science and its invention are based on
believing the physical self and its experience world as a reality, whereas, the
truth lies beyond physical existence. Until
Scientists discovers, with what the physical body, is able to function itself
as a person, and perceives the world, the truth will not be unfolded. Therefore there is a need to know with what the physical body is able to know itself, because the physical body is not the knower of the physical body. Therefore, there is a need to be aware of the formless knower of the physical body to unfold the mystery of the mind.
Until and unless scientists become aware of the fact that, the self is not physical their experiments will not yield any fruit.
The experiment on the physical body and trying to find the truth is like
trying to drain the ocean drop by drop.
Until scientists
realize the fact that, the gross world is merged into the mental experience in
the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as
the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who
regard them as different or higher are taking the physical body and the world
as reality.
Since scientists take the birth, life and
death as reality, there scientific invention are based on the physical
existence, they will not be able to go deeper in this subject, because they
cannot cross the threshold of physicality.
The modern equipment can investigate objects
within the physical existence but it is impossible to investigate the physical
existence as whole i.e. man and the world together. The whole cannot be investigated with
laboratory conditions. Only through
deeper thinking through inquiry, analysis and reasoning the whole has to be
investigated.
One has to reach
the beyond the physical existence, mentally, and discovers, grasps the fact
that, the physical existence is mere mirage created out of single stuff;
otherwise he will remain the conviction believing the duality is reality.
Deeper inquiry,
analysis and reasoning revels the fact that, the self is not physical but it is
formless spirit. Therefore, it is erroneous to view and judge the truth on the
physical point of view, because the self exists prior to physical existence. Therefore, it is necessary to view and judge
the truth on the standpoint of the base of the spirit, which is the true self.
Religious Philosophies
teach that all is self, but none of them can show that this is so. Theirs is
mere dogma, parrotism, repetition of what they read in scripture. They cannot
prove it.
The truth has to
be analysed scientifically with deeper reasoning and arrive at rational proof
and gets the ultimate truth i.e. Non-dual wisdom. Authoritarianism on the base
of past inventions or philosophy mere assumptions and hearsay as truth, but the
truth has to be proved beyond all the doubts.
Unless one gives
up the ideas of the physicality as reality, the ultimate truth is impossible. Ultimate
Truth must be proved here and now. If that cannot be done, it is impossible to
cross the threshold of duality. Without
knowing the fact that the self is not physical the Self –Knowledge is
impossible to assimilate.
The religious and
yogic truths are physical truth. The physical truth is an individual truth, not
universal truth. The truth of religion can only be proved by physical strength
or by imagination, or power of the weapon or political power, never by reason.
The scientists are
yet to find mysteries beyond; they hope to discover it in future.” The mystics
say: That mystery unknown to science is known to them and Mysticism is the fulfilment
of science. The mysticism is also physical based and it is impossible to
acquire non-dual wisdom through mysticism.
The mystics cannot
experience the whole on the base of the physical body because the body and the
world are within the whole. So how can they
prove that they have seen the whole?
Mystics merely assume
that they know it from experience.” If mystics experience joy or bliss, they
cannot be egoless. The joy or bliss cannot be experienced without the ego. Whatever is based on ego is physicality. And if they retain the ego/physical self they
cannot know the whole. Without knowing the whole the ultimate truth is
impossible to grasp.
