The
seeker has to pursue this quest until his questions will be answered, until his
problems will disappear and his doubts will be solved.
Doubt
is the beginning of knowledge. One must verify his own ideas and concepts. He
must put his imagination aside, and let the truth be verifiable by others.
The
scholastics like all believers have to start with an assumption that there is
some unseen Being or Power or World, and then they start to interpret this
assumption. Whereas deeper self-search starts with the world, going up from the
objective world to truth by inquiry and soulcentric reasoning.
No assumption, no faith, is needed
in pursuit of truth, the ultimate truth demands deeper thinking. People do not
want to think: it is too troublesome. Why worry about the ultimate truth, they
say. This is their excuse, an alibi for being too lazy or incompetent to think.
They do not want to be bothered to inquire and reason.
Reasoning
is interpretable in two ways. The egocentric interpretation is to apply it only
to the waking experience. The soulcentric interpretation is to apply it to the
three states. The latter leads to final settlement of the problems because it
takes all data into consideration.
When the ultimate truth is rightly known and one attains eternal life
thereby. Through soul, the innermost self he gains strength and through its
knowledge immortality.
Not by intellectual speculation but only by an awakening to the
reality of his true existence he gets soulcentric vision. Soul, the innermost
self’s nature is like state of deep sleep. Consciously becoming aware of the
soul, the innermost self, in the midst of duality, (waking) leads one to non-dualistic self-awareness.
