The dream illustration is the best illustration to know the waking experience is also as unreal as a dream. The dream was experienced without the physical apparatus as a whole. The dream entity and dream world were within the dream. The dream appeared as a whole and disappeared as a whole.
A deeper self-search reveals the fact that waking also is also similar to a dream. The waking is a parallel dream and the dream is parallel waking. The formless substance and witness of the dream and waking are one and the same.
The Self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the formless witness of the three states. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure the existence of the formless witness which is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity.
The waking also is witnessed without the physical apparatus, because the waking is still on. And the waking entity perceives the world as a reality within the waking experience. Thus, the waking entity is in ignorance, and it experiences the illusory duality as reality.
The individual experiences of birth life, death, and world experience as reality within the waking experience. But the waking experience itself is merely an illusion from the standpoint of the Soul, which is the witness of the coming and going of the three states.
Only when the waking entity gets rid of the ignorance through deeper self-search than it becomes aware of the fact that, the self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity, but the self is the Soul, the Self.
If one realizes the fact that, the mind which is in the form of the universe is a mere mirage created out of the soul, which is in the form of consciousness and there is absolutely no difference between the mind and the Soul because they both are one in essence.
Man and his experience of the world are within waking experience. the waking experience is a mere mirage created out of consciousness. The physical existence, which is present in the form of a waking experience is falsehood.
Just as in the dream universe appears to exist outside the body, but is inside the mind. It appears to be outside because of ignorance, and the illusion is experienced as reality. For just as when one wakes up after a dream, all the people, towns, mountains, and ocean of the dream are then known to be inside his mind, it was only ignorance, which placed them outside his-self.
The whole universe is created out of consciousness, and the universe which appears in the form of the mind is a myth. Birth, life, death, and the world are experienced within the mind.
People think the mind is confined to be a little thing like one's brain. A deeper self-search reveals the fact that it is not so. The mind is the whole universe in which man exists and experiences his individual experience of birth, life, and death.
The form, tine, and space are reality within the illusory universe. The universe appears as a waking or dream. The three states are merely an illusion from the ultimate standpoint.
People are unprepared to accept the truth because they are in the grip of ignorance. Most people will never accept the truth because they have accepted their physical identity as the self and practical life within the practical world as reality.
It is very difficult to trace the source of the universe without understanding what is the mind?'. One has to know the fact that; the mind and the universe appear together and disappear to gather. If the mind is there then only the universe is present. If the mind is absent then the universe is also absent. Thus one has to conclude the mind itself is the universe.
In deeper self-search one becomes aware of the fact that the mind is not within the body, but the body and the experience of the universe are within the mind. It is erroneous to limit the mind to the physical entity and think the mind is within the body.
If, the whole body is scanned only one can see the functions of all the organs, but it is impossible to trace the mind because the mind is not only the person but also the universe. Until this truth is assimilated it is impossible to move deeper in pursuit of truth.
In sleep, it is quite blank. Similarly, if one looks into a seed, he does not see the tree there. Nevertheless, both the world and the tree are developments from ignorance and seed. Thus ignorance is the seed of the universe. If the truth revels then there is neither ignorance nor the universe. :~Santthosh Kumaar
