Meditation.++****

The witness of the three states is not the waking entity, but the formless soul, which is in the form of consciousness. On the standpoint of the soul the innermost self, the three states are unreal. Whatever happening within the waking experience is a reality, within the waking experience. But the waking experience itself is an illusion. The illusion appears as waking and dream and disappears as deep sleep. The soul, the innermost self, witnesses the coming and going of the three states. The soul, the innermost self, which witnesses the states, is unaffected and apart.

To realize this truth it takes quite a lot of mental effort. A perfect understanding leads the seeker to self-awareness. The one who is able to grasp this truth is a Gnani. ~Santthosh Kumaar

• Michael West, Linda Macmillan and Nand Kumar Behl like this.
• 

  Linda Macmillan difficult to do ! lol
• 

  Santthosh Kumaar Only a perfect understanding of ‘what is what' is needed. By realizing form, time and space are one in essence, and that essence is consciousness leads to non-dualistic or Advaitic self-awareness. When we drop all accumulate knowledge and start afresh then it becomes easier to acquire self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
• 

  Linda Macmillan if the form is of the atom is soul/consciousness to be experienced beyond this!!
• 

  Santthosh Kumaar The Atman, the innermost self cannot be experienced, because the experience is possible only in the realm of duality. Atman is prior to any experience. In self-awareness, there is neither experience nor experiencer. In self-awareness, the body, ego and the world are not considered different from consciousness. Thus the whole universe (form, time and space) in which we exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, the Atman or consciousness alone is real all else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
• 

  Linda Macmillan so any point in meditating/resting on the inner self nothingness!
• 

  Santthosh Kumaar Without realizing the soul as innermost self, all types’ meditation keeps one in the grip of duality. The people, who practice meditation, are unaware of the fact that the true self is not physical, but the formless soul. When they consider themselves Hindu, Christian or Buddhist or think their meditation as a way to enhance their religious faith are unaware of the fact that, their physical identity is the false self within the false experience. Thus, any type of paths and practices, which are based on the false self (‘waking entity or ego) will not yield any fruits.

  
  
  Practicing meditation does not free one from ignorance. Without getting rid of ignorance, it is impossible to overcome the illusory experience of duality. Therefore, meditation is not a means to self-realization. Through meditation one may get peace in the practical life within the practical world. It is impossible to get nondualistic or Advaitic wisdom through meditation because meditation is based on the false self (waking entity or you) within the false experience (waking). Without realizing the unreal nature of the form, time and space it is impossible to get nondualistic or Advaitic self-awareness. 

  
  
  What is the use of practicing meditation on the base of the body (you), which is not the self? 

  
  Man and his experience of the world is the product of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing duality as reality. The duality is merely an 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 soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The soul is the innermost self. On the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self, no second thing exists other than consciousness. Other than knowing the innermost self, there is nothing to know and realize. ~Santthosh Kumaar

   Even Ramana Maharishi: ~

  
  
  Q:~ Which meditation will help me?
  
  Ramana Maharishi: ~ Meditation on an object is not helpful. For this reason, you must learn to realize that the subject and object are one. In meditating on an object, you are destroying that sense of oneness and creating duality. Meditate only on the Self. Try to realize that the body is not you, the emotions are not you, and the intellect is not you. When all these are stilled, you will find something else is there; hold onto that, and it will reveal itself.
  
  Q:~ But when I have stilled everything, I almost fall asleep!

  
  
  Maharishi:~ That does not matter. Put yourself into the condition as deep as sleep, and then watch: be asleep consciously; then there is only the one Consciousness.

  Santthosh Kumaar As we keep digging deeper and deeper, the truth will shines as pure awareness in the midst of the duality (waking). 

  
  The soul, the innermost self is your ultimate teacher. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, for the soul is the goal.

  
  Millions are searching form truth but one in million will realize it. You are one from that million because you have the intense urge to realize the ultimate truth.

  
  

  When the seeker is ready, the guidance comes on its own. An earnest desire to grow and a sense of deep commitment are the hallmarks of one who aspires to be a seeker. When at the core of one's being a person comes to realize he/she needs to seek a path for coming out of one’s unconscious and conditioned life, mysteriously the guidance appears to guide and shows the way.
