For a Gnani: ~ Where is the body? Where is the mind?+

Meher Baba: ~ “When the reality appears this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal. 

For a Gnani: ~

Where is the body?

Where is the mind?

Where is the world; the void; or despair? :~  

 : ~ to the true Self, which is the taintless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. They are or have become consciousness. 

One thinks there is a mind when he has thoughts, but when thoughts are not considered different from the consciousness, which is the true Self, then where is the division into, waking, dream and deep sleep, etc.

Void implies duality: the universe may not exist, but the thought of the second is there. If one knows there is a Void (emptiness/nothingness), then there is something there to be known and know. They are or have become consciousness. 

What are the scriptures?

 What is Self-knowledge?

What is the mind without the objects?

What is contentment?

Where is desirelessness? :~

: ~ for the formless Soul, the innermost Self, which is ever devoid of a sense of duality. 

What is knowledge?

What is ignorance?

 What is the ego?

 What is duality?

 What is the mind?

 What is bondage?

What is liberation?

What is definableness? :~

: ~ to the formless Soul, the  Self, which is in the form of consciousness? 

All these appearances are merely an illusion, which comes and go; hence meaningless to the formless Soul, the  Self. 

Egocentric knowledge is not the ultimate knowledge because ego-based knowledge is dualistic knowledge based on the object (body) as the subject. But in non-dualistic Knowledge whatever seems to exist also is consciousness; therefore, there is no scope for the existence of the second thing. 

What are the past karmas?

 What is liberation –in this life?

What is that liberation at death: ~

: ~ for the birth- less Soul, which is ever formless.

The nearest state to understand the Soul by itself is to eliminate mentally waking and dream as in deep sleep. Once this is grasped one has to understand everything is consciousness, which is the real Self. 

What is the doer or the enjoyer?

What is the cessation of thoughts or the rising of thoughts?

 What are immediate perceptions and its result? :~

 : ~ to, the formless Soul, which is ever impersonal. A Gnani is the one who is never afraid of thinking and knowing all his individual experience and the world to be consciousness. 

What is the world and what is meant by the aspirant for liberation?

 What is contemplative and what is the man of knowledge?

 What the ‘Self’ is and what liberated ‘Self? :~

 : ~ to the formless Soul, which is the non-dual essence. 

When we analyze the dream experience, we find the dream entity, the dream world with all people in it appeared as a whole, and the dream reality lasted until the waking experience appeared. 

When one tries to know the truth of his true existence in the waking through inquiry, analysis, and reasoning, one becomes aware of the fact that the Self is not physical, but it is formless Soul, which is in the form of consciousness which is the essence of the three states from which the three states are made. 

Thus, the illusions of the three states are made of one single substance, which is consciousness. By realizing the formless substance, which is consciousness as the Self, ignorance vanishes and one becomes aware of the fact that the three states are merely an illusion on the standpoint of the formless substance, which is also the witness of the three states. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
