Advaita is the nature of the Soul.
The Soul is present in the form of consciousness is one unified whole.
When the Soul, the Self remains in its own awareness, then there nothing exists other
than itself.
The form, time, and space within
the dream become falsehood when waking takes place. Similarly, the form, time, and space of the waking are also becoming falsehood when wisdom dawns. The
wisdom dawns only when one realizes, that the Self is neither the waking entity
nor the dream entity.
Thus, it is erroneous to judge and reason and conclude
the ultimate truth on the base of the waking entity(ego) 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 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 is as unreal as a dream
.
Until one thinks of his body as the
body and his experience of the world as the world, it is impossible to grasp
Advaitic truth, because his views and judgments are based on physical self (ego) with
the physical existence(waking). Individuality is a reality within the
waking experience, but the waking experience itself is a falsehood.
Thus, holding
the view as an individual within the false experience leads to
hallucination. The waking experience is a parallel dream, and the
dream is a parallel waking experience.
A perfect understanding of 'what
is what’ removes all sorts of obstacles in the pursuit of truth.
Only through
constant repetition of the subject matter in my posts and blogs 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 some of our conditioning, which we have inherited from parental
grooming and circumstances.
The veil of ignorance, which is
in the form of form, time, and space, will vanish when the wisdom dawns.
Thus, the division within consciousness also no longer remains a
reality.
Thus, the illusory reality loses its luster of reality in Self~
awareness. One knows his body, ego and his experience of the world as a
mere mirage created out of consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone
is a reality and the forms and names and things are merely an illusion.
Those who see the universe as a
reality may try to deny it. The Soul, the Self, has nothing to do
with the experience of birth, life, and death because it is birthless and
deathless. In Self-awareness, one sees his body, ego, and universe but
he is fully aware of the fact that they too are nothing but consciousness.
Thus, there is unity in diversity.
If one thinks he is born in this
world grew up and got married and has children and grandchildren and he is 90
years of age in a dream and when he wakes up the dream becomes unreal.
The
form, time, and space of the dream were reality within the dream. Similarly, the
form, time, and space will prevail as a reality until the waking entity becomes
aware of the fact, that it is not the Self, but the Self is the Soul, which
witnesses the coming and going of the three states.
If one dreams that he was a
poor farmer, but he did not know that his ancestors had buried a large quantity
of gold under the ground in his field when someone who knows the secret informs
him about the treasure, he discovers the treasure and lives happily, but
when he wakes up, the dream reality is never again becoming a reality.
Similarly, when wisdom dawns the waking reality never again prevails
as a reality.
Blinded with the 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 or
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, the innermost self. The Soul
is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness is the ultimate
truth or Brahman.
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 rises 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 (universe or illusion
or matter) is the consciousness (Soul or Spirit) realizing the three states are
created out of consciousness (Soul or Spirit).
Awareness is the nature of the Soul
(spirit or consciousness) because there is no second thing that exists other than the
Soul (spirit or consciousness), the Self. Thus, consciousness is
the ultimate truth or Brahman.: ~Santthosh
