One need not doubt that mystics saw God or Goddesses in their vision. That they saw visions may he an undeniable fact. But the question is “Was what they saw the Truth? They no doubt had such vision, but they never stopped to inquire if their visions be true. One has to take all the facts and then find out which is the truth through deeper self-search.  The seeker of truth has to collect as much evidence as possible, even contradictory, and then proceed to examine all of it and Analyze, how far is it true.  

What happens when thoughts are stilled? It is not the Self that is found. Rubbish. It is only the  mind. Patanjali has not reached Gnana and therefore does not know the highest truth. His yoga is good to give peace and concentration, but only in order to start reasoning, i.e. thinking again to  find the truth. 

Thoughts arise to the person within the waking or dream. Thinker is the form. Without the form the thinking is an  impossibility. Thus, thinker and the thoughts are part of the known. The witness of the knower and the known including the world is the  formless soul.

People think they taken diksha or initiation and they are practiced under some guru or yogi  and they are experiencing the bliss and now they are capable of transforming that bliss to others and they start hallucinating that what they experienced as bliss is reality without realizing the fact that their own existence within the universe is mere illusion because the universe is mere illusion from ultimate standpoint.  It is very difficult for those who are caught up in the understanding based on the false self to realize the fact that, whatever they have experienced as bliss   is mere hallucination because the ultimate truth or Brahman cannot be experienced because the self is not an individual because it is formless.  

Yogi shuts its eyes to the world then he declares that he knows the world be Brahman, because he has not inquired into it, he knows nothing of Brahman.

 If one feels ecstatic or an exalted peace in the presence Yogi’s or God men or Guru is not wisdom.  People with disturbed and troubled or unhappy find tranquillity in Ashrams or in presence gurus or yogis, because there are in uneasy disturbance of the mind, probably over their practical life within the practical world.

This is because they do not know what truth is, and they mistake this physicalized peace as Atamic peace. Non-dualistic peace is the nature of the soul, the innermost self. 

Practicing yogic Samadhi up to the limit and extent of getting a strong and concentrative mind, and to be able to think of particular subjects, it is good; beyond that if, they begin to weaken their mind and accept what they imagine as real, they begin to get hallucinated. 

Yogi’s  limit the mind to the physical entity, thus, they fail to realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic  truth.  They stick up to their accepted truth and they remain stagnant with their belief.

The individual experience is mere   illusion. Thus without first examining them and inquiring into them thoroughly is to delude oneself. The three states common to all; therefore, one must begin his inquiry analysis and reasoning on the true base. It is only after it has inquired into the nature of the three states that he should inquire into who is the knower/witness. If, however one inquires  into the knower before the analysis of the three states, then it is mere mysticism. What are these three states? Must precede what is ‘I’?

Thoughts and thinker are present only when the world is present. The world is present only when the waking experience is present. Waking experience is mere illusion from the ultimate standpoint. If the waking experience is mere illusion then the thought, thinker and the world are mere illusion.  Thought, thinker and the world are nothing to do with the formless witness. The witness is that witnesses the thoughts, the thinker and the world together. The thoughts, thinker and the world are one in essence. And also the three states are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. The consciousness (soul) is the innermost self. The consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God.

Man and his experience of the world are the product of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the duality as reality.  The duality is mere illusion from the ultimate standpoint.  All the thoughts, words,   feelings, attachment including the man and his experience of the world are part of the illusion. The illusion (universe) is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness (soul or Atman), the innermost self.    On the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self no second thing exists other than consciousness.
