He who knows the 'thoughts and words and the world in which he exists as the consciousness, is the knower of ultimate truth or Brahman.+

He who knows the 'thoughts and words and the world in which he exists as the consciousness,  is the knower of ultimate truth, who has realized the highest truth, has entered into the realm of consciousness, by burning away the accumulated egocentric dross, which was the cause of ignorance. Hence, he is free from experiencing the illusion or Maya as reality. In the realm of truth, consciousness has no seed of ignorance for illusion. 

For when dualistic illusion or Maya is superimposed on the Soul or consciousness has merged with the consciousness on the discrimination of the real and the unreal, it does not appear again as real to those discriminating people, just as before, from the impressions of the past persisting in the intellect. 

All the doubts and confusion exist when the reason is based on the ego (form). But when one the reason is based on the Soul (formless) as the Self,   all the doubts and confusion vanishes.

One cannot know the truth until one knows the stuff from which the mind (universe) is created. The goal of the pursuit of truth is to realize the fact that, the Soul, the Self is not physical, but it is unborn and eternal. 

When one puts aside the imagination and has the thinker~ what does he get with thinking ~he can get only thoughts. Meditation is only an effort; it is imagination, an idea; the Soul, the Self, remaining the same with or without ideas.

As a person perceiving the world, one is unaware of the fact that he and his experience of the world are within the object. He as a person is completely unaware of the fact that he is not the subject at all. 

The subject is formless, and it is apart from the three states. The subject is not an entity or identity within the three states. Therefore, judging the truth on the base of the object as self is erroneous. Such judgment leads to all sorts of speculation, doubts, and confusion.

When one is absorbed in thinking of anything, he is thinking within the object (mind) that which witnesses all these three states is within but always apart.

Remember:~

The truth seekers from different walks of life from all over the world are struggling to know the mystery of their own existence. Due to the inborn and inherited conditioning or samskara, it becomes difficult to grasp the truth, which is beyond form, time,  and space.   

Religious beliefs, social and cultural bondage, personal predilections, and phobias become a great obstacle to discovering the ultimate truth. However, an intense inner urge to know the ultimate truth will not be satisfied until the journey to the unknown is completed. The seeker has to cross many obstacles and barricades injected by religion and society and beliefs and behaviors.

The fact is something that has to be proved beyond all doubts and cannot be challenged. The truth cannot be found in an antique shop there is no use in trying one old idea to another it leads to the confusion. Nothing can be achieved or attained since the very base of seeking the truth is based on the false self (ego or the waking entity) and false experience (waking).  

The seeker has to learn to view and judge the three states from the standpoint of the Soul, and the Self.  Only when the seeker becomes soulcentric then the truth will start unfolding gradually according to the spiritual maturity of the seeker.

Remember:~

The existence of God or no God is only a belief. Belief is not the truth. The scientific theories and inventions have made the materialistic life easier and more comfortable for a  man to live in the practical world, however,  science failed to unfold the truth of the true existence. Since their invention is based on the false self (ego) and false experience (waking). 

The religions have created the imaginary belief of God and propagated the existence of such Gods.  Religion imposed people to blindly follow its scriptures without verification. Religion is based on blind belief. 

Every religion has its own beliefs and dogmas. Religion discourages people to verify whether it is based on truth or not. Scientific materialism and the religiously regulated life have resulted in restlessness.

People’s observation is based on the dualistic (matter or body or ego) perspective, whereas a Gnanis judgment is based on the nondualistic (soul or spirit or consciousness) perspective.  

There is neither the projection (the world in which we all exist), nor the projector exists as a reality, when the soul, the innermost 'Self' remains in its own awareness.  The Soul remains in its own awareness when wisdom dawns. 

The purpose of the spiritual pursuit is to realize the whole universe, in which we exist, is created out of single stuff. And that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self. From the standpoint of the Soul, and the Self, the three states are merely an illusion.  

Remember:~

Blinded by the dualistic illusion very few grasp the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth. Only a few escape from the web of illusion, and only a few will be able to acquire nondualistic or Advaitic wisdom.

The non-duality has to be grasped in the midst of the waking experience (duality or mind (universe).  That is, being aware of the truth and untruth, reality and unreality. And able to establish himself in the truth and able to view and judge, the three states, on the base of the Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

It is unfortunate people are stuck with their accumulated ideas based on the false self, imagine nonduality and say nothing exists other than the source. But a Gnani says everything exists (illusion) but everything is created out of the Soul (Spirit or consciousness).  

Everything arises from the Soul (spirit or consciousness) and subsides as the Soul (Spirit or consciousness). Thus, the whole diversity has no relevance, from the standpoint of the Soul as the Self.

Everything (illusion or matter) is nothingness (spirit or consciousness) realizing the three states are created out of nothingness, which is the nature of the Soul. 

Nothingness is the nature of the Soul because there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness.    Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Remember:~

God cannot be brought down to the domain of duality. There is only one being in reality, and it is the Soul, the Self.  The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness pervades everything and everywhere in all three states. 

Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is God.  When one realizes that form, time and space are one in essence. And that essence is the consciousness,  then he realizes there is no second thing that exists other than the consciousness. Thus,  everything is consciousness. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth. And the ultimate truth is God. 

The form, time, and space are present when the ‘I’ is present.  The ‘I’ is present when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). 

If there is no ‘I’ then there is no mind. If there is no mind,  then there is no form, time, and space. If there is no form, time, and space,  then there is no universe. If there is no universe,  then there is neither the waking nor the dream. Thus, the ‘I’, the mind, the universe, and the waking or dream are one and the same thing. 

Thus, one has to analyze the three states to realize, what is it that appears as the waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).   In other words, ‘what is it,  that appears as the duality’ and disappears as nonduality when the self is neither the waking entity (you) nor the dream entity, but the self is the formless soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states. 

In the realm of truth, the three states are one in essence.  Thus, the three states are created out of single stuff. That single stuff the Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Remember:~

Consciousness is self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is the Self. Consciousness is within, consciousness is without; consciousness is before, consciousness is behind; consciousness is on the right, consciousness is on the left; consciousness is above and consciousness below.  

Until one thinks of his body as body, ego as ego the universe as the universe he remains in ignorance because he is still in ignorance, and he is unaware of the fact that they too are consciousness.

Non-attachment to the three states is liberation. Attachment to the three states is bondage.  The Self alone exists, and all the three states are false and unreal.

The form, time, and space within the dream are falsehood when the waking takes place. Similarly, the form, time, and space of the waking are also falsehood when wisdom dawns. The wisdom dawns only when one realizes the Self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity. 

Remember:~

It is erroneous to judge and reason and conclude the ultimate truth on the base of the waking entity and the waking world because the waking experience itself is an illusion.

Suppose you were holding the same view in the dream, all your experiences and views are a reality within the dream. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, waking becomes unreal when you become aware of the fact that, the Self is not an individual.  Thus, whatever individual experiences experienced within the waking are as unreal as the dream.

Until one thinks of the body as body and world as the world it is impossible to grasp nondualistic or Advaitic truth, because his views and judgments are based on the physical self with the physical existence.  

Individuality is a reality with the waking experience, but the waking experience itself is a falsehood. Thus, holding the view as an individual within the false experience is erroneous from the ultimate standpoint.  The waking is a  parallel dream and the dream is a parallel waking experience.

Perfect understanding removes all sorts of obstacles in the pursuit of truth.  Only through constant repetition of words in my posts will make one think differently,  but it also creates more doubts and confusion in his subconscious, and his inner urge to know the truth even more intense. And it also helps to overcome the inborn and inherited conditioning, which we have inherited from parental grooming and circumstances.:~Santthosh Kumaar
