Non-dualistic Self-awareness is Brahmic bliss. In Self-awareness, there is neither enjoyer nor enjoyment, nor the world.+

The seeker of the truth has to be active to examine the world and discriminate. Hence non- dualistic self-awareness means knowing that form, time, and space are one in essence. That essence is consciousness.

The three states and the formless witness of the three states are one in essence.

The three states and their formless witness that Atman is present in the form of consciousness. The Atman is the Self.

Realizing Atman as self, the non-dualistic self-awareness arises in the midst of the duality. This is different from Patanjali Yogic Nirvikalpa samadhi, which is only a deep sleep.

The Yogis and Mystics want meditation, sitting still, etc. only because it gives them pleasure: the satisfaction is for their own selves only, which is something sought by the ego and cannot get non-dualistic self-awareness in consequence.

There is nothing to drive out. Even the yogi's ecstasies may be retained, provided one does not let himself be deceived about them and accept them like everything else, as part of Brahman.

The Yogi wants to do something, some action, even that of sitting still, to control this or concentrate on that. This means he is still attached to the body. He wants his body to be quiet. He is still thinking of an illusory body. He does not start with that the body and the world are but an illusion a. On the contrary, he takes them for reality.

To be desireless means to feel that he has everything in him; that there is nothing outside him; therefore, what has one to desire?

The populace misunderstands and thinks desirelessness means refraining from worldly pleasures. A Gnani has nothing to give up when all is Brahman.

Those who tell one that Brahman is unity, that he can get it only by intuition, that he should not reason, he should not question or argue or inquire, are deluding him. Verification must come by thought.

The world must be seen before one can know its true nature in Gnana. The yogi who shuts it out thereby deprives himself of the opportunity to achieve Gnana.

Sage Sankara: -VC-63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

Manduka Upanishad: - Those that want ultimate truth Brahman will not practice control of the mind. (p.231)

If a man gets Moksha after undergoing any discipline, his Moksha is only temporary: it will go again. Atman ( consciousness) cannot be got because it is already there. The witness(Atman) has never been in bondage because it is always apart from, untouched by witnessed (three states). This argument cannot be turned against A Gnani by yogis and religious believers, because they regard ignorance as an integral part of the soul to be got rid of by their practices, whereas a Gnani says the witness ( Atman) is ever pure, ever free from ignorance, being Knowledge itself, and that even all Gnana practice is within the realm of the witnessed (duality), never the witness (Atman).

People talk of liberation. They are forming an idea. The idea is duality. Many thinkers who are so confused as to be unable to separate the witness, talk of gaining liberation. But all such ideas are only within the duality (witnessed) which comes and goes, the witness (Atman) needs no liberation.

The final state is that God is Everything, the All, there is nothing but God, whereas to say "God is in me" is mysticism.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, which is a part of Vedas, Declares that: - Brahman is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

DVI" means two. DVI" connotes the dual existence and the non-dual. Which of these two is non-existence? People think that there is a God and that the jivas--souls-- like them form the second, other than them. There is no such duality at all.

The "Soul”, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the only reality and there is nothing other than this soul or consciousness, which is the Self.

From the standpoint of the Soul or consciousness, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Because the whole universe, in which we all exist is created out of consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Hence, it is non-dual (non-duality). The Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth

Non-dualistic Self-awareness is Brahmic bliss. In Self-awareness, there is neither enjoyer nor enjoyment, nor the world.

Self-awareness is possible only in the midst of duality. The mystic reveals only in 'bliss' that is experienced i.e. that comes and goes, but he is not Non-dualistic Self-awareness.

The peace will be disturbed only if one recognizes a second. Hence, the mystic's peace is temporary: the only enduring peace belongs to the Gnani for it is non-dual.

Mystics claim that their ego disappears in the mystic experience: we say it is not so.

It is the ego that sees and enjoys the experience, otherwise, they would not say afterward "I had this great ecstasy, I felt such peace."

When the ultimate truth is rightly known and one attains eternal life thereby. Through Soul, the 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 the soul-centric vision. Soul, the Self’s nature is like the state of deep sleep.

Religion, yoga, and intellectualism are not the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Getting rid of ignorance and trying to get Self-awareness through religion and yoga, is like a sleeping man trying to know what he is about, without waking up. As sleep is to waking, so is ordinary life to the state of realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
