Rig Veda,:~ The Soul is the cause; the Soul is the support of all that exists in this universe.+

Religion and yoga propagate the myth of individual souls encapsulated within bodies. The Soul, the Self, contains all bodies and the entire universe but absolutely does not reside in a physical body.

Panchadasi says: ~ "If a person cannot undertake the study into the nature of Brahman, either through a dull intellect or through want of accessories for such inquiry, he must be constantly engaged in the meditation on Brahman." The term accessories here mean "the person who knows Brahman, i.e. Gnani.

Panchadasi says: ~ "The Yogi who moves unseeing through this world is not better than a lump of clay in human form; it is not imperceptions of the world that is needed but the intellectual realization that its substratum is an idea.

The mind is virtually the universe. The universe appears as a waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). Efforts should be made to understand the mind. Advaitic is wisdom is ancient truth preserved as a secret by sages of truth.

Every minute the waking experience is changing. The waking experience becomes deep sleep and deep sleep becomes the dream. Thus, their continuous change is going on and on in consciousness.

The one that appears as waking, the one that appears as a dream, and one that becomes the deep sleep is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus,, all three states are created out of single stuff and that stuff is consciousness.

Thus, one which becomes duality (waking or dream) and the one which becomes nonduality (deep sleep) are the same consciousness. Thus, the consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion.

Remember:~

Rig Veda:~The Soul is the cause;  the soul is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Soul, the self. May ye never accept another God in place of the soul, nor worship other than the Soul?- 10:48, 5.

The Soul or Atman is the only Reality. 'Reality' is defined as that which does not disappear at any time. By this test, Ataman, which is absolutely present always, and eternal, is alone real. The waking or dream which consists of a man and the world keeps on appearing and disappearing all the time, so it cannot be considered as real.  

People consider the world is real because they are born and living in the world, but they are unaware of the fact that the world which consists of them is within the waking or dream which is present as the mind or’ I’. 

Until and unless they verify the truth of their true existence, they are bound to believe, that they are an individual separate from the world, and they are born in this world and the world existed prior to them.  

Until this conviction is there they will not be able to grasp and assimilate the nondual truth. And individuality and separateness from the world keep them in the grip of duality. To overcome the duality they have to drop old subconscious conditioning.  This has to be done by repetitively reading my blogs and posting. Repetitively reading my blogs and posting helps to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 

This Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana repetitively reads my blogs and postings and sends suggestions to the subconscious 'what is real' and 'what is unreal'  and these suggestions will stir and churn the sub-conscious,  and lots of doubts and confusion start popping up.  This is because of the inner work. 

The subconscious is trying to replace the old programming with a new program by accepting new suggestions.  The seeker has to write down all the doubts and try to find answers on his own through deeper thinking.  

As he starts thinking the inner revelation starts,  and all the answers will start to come on their own. And when uncontradicted truth comes as an answer, it is a sign that the subconscious has dropped its old programming and accepted a new program, which the seeker has injected through suggestions.

Words may aggravate illusion; words may also help dispel it.  It is necessary to repeat the same truth again and again until it becomes reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until one gets a conviction of what is what. Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what,. People need to read and hear the words to think deeply and reach the ultimate end.  

Till man thinks of himself as a person perceiving the world, he will not be able to understand and assimilate the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. When the deeper Self-search reveals the fact that, the Self is neither the waking entity, nor the Self is a dream entity, but the self is the formless, timeless, and spaceless Soul.

 If the Self is not the form,  but the Self is formless, then man (form) is not the self. If a man is not the Self, how can he know and assimilate the truth, how can he recognize and measure the truth?  

The truth is possible to realize only when he includes the world in his realization. Doubts and confusions arise out of partial vision. When the whole truth is realized, there can be no doubts and confusion. Everything depends on the seeker's intensity to know the truth and sharpness and inner maturity to grasp it.

Read my blogs and postings like an affirmation, until it reaches the core. Once the inner work starts your thinking process diverts itself from the pathway to the highway and from the highway to the runway and helps you to understand and assimilate and realize better and faster.:~Santthosh Kumaar
