Meditation is not the means to Advaitic Self-awareness. Realizing the form, time and space are one, in essence, leads to Self-awareness.    

The meditator, meditation, and the world are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness (spirit).  The knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 

The witness of the three states is not the waking entity (you), but the formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

From the standpoint of the Soul the  Self, the three states are merely an illusion. Whatever happens within the waking experience is a reality, within the waking experience, but the waking experience itself is an illusion. 

The illusion appears as the waking or the dream (duality)  and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The Soul, the 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 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. 

Remember:~ 

Meditation is not focusing the attention on the ‘I but shifting the attention from the 'I' to the Soul, the Self, which is hidden by the 'I'.

The ‘I’ is not limited to the ego because the ‘I’ is the whole universe. The ‘I’ is ignorance. Meditation is the total negation of ignorance, which is present in the form of the ‘I’.

Only in ignorance, there is conflict. There is no conflict in the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul is ever free is totally free from conflict. All the conflicts belong to the dualistic illusion.

Ignorance is the cause of the form, time, and space without ignorance then there is no division of form, time, and space in the consciousness. The nature of the ‘Self’ is the fullness of consciousness.

Remember:~

Meher Baba: ~ ‘Meditation has often been misunderstood as a mechanical process of forcing the mind upon some idea or object.

Meditation is not Advaitic wisdom. Meditation is not a means to find the truth hidden by form, time, and space. Without realizing the ‘Self-is not you but the Self is the Soul all the effort used in the meditation leads to hallucinate thoughtlessness. The thoughtlessness is not wisdom. by ending the thoughts you may get peace, not Advaitic wisdom.

Ashtavakra says: ~ “This is your bondage, that you practice Samadhi or meditation.”

Meditation is a progressive step and there is no need to condemn them. Religion and yoga are not the ends, for they can never directly lead to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. All other teachings and practices other than self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana are for beginners only. There are stages in comprehending the truth.

Meditation always means the critical analysis of the Self to get rid of ignorance. The ignorance will not vanish by reaming without the thoughts or focusing attention on some object.

Sage Sankara says ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation.

Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, it is fatal to ask him to give up meditation.

The novice seekers must understand that yoga is all right in its places and that it is good at the beginning of the pursuit of truth, but when yoga is made ends in itself and not means to acquire the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Yoga and meditation are not useless, they are useful to bring the restless ego under control. Yoga and meditation are not final. By indulging in yoga and meditation, it will lead not lead to the ultimate end of understanding. Yoga cannot remove ignorance. It is only a step. It removes obstructions.

For meditation, one need not sit and chant God's name or concentrate on some object. Anything you do will not be meditation. If there is a doer then it is not meditation. As long as there is doing, there is ignorance. As long as the doer is present, the ego is present. If the ego is present the whole world is present. If the world is present the duality is present. If the duality is present then there is an illusion. If the illusion is present the birth, life, death, and the world are experienced as reality.

Atmic path is nothing to do with religion and the yogic path. Atmic path is the path of wisdom. All your accumulated knowledge is nothing to with Atmic path. Atmic path is not a path of discussion or exchange of views and opinion but the direct realization of the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion.

The seeker must have the patience to open the blogs and posting and read. It will not only help you to clear all your cobweb of doubts and confusion. Without reading the blogs trying to argue on your own yardstick, is not of any use. Whatever you have read, whatever you have heard and accumulated becomes a hindrance in realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

All your egocentric accumulated cocktail knowledge is not Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana Soulcentric knowledge is not available in the spiritual supermarket.

All accumulated knowledge is mental Garbage is no use in the quest for truth. The seeker has to discard all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh.

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings gradually, the seekers will start assimilating and realizing ‘what is the truth’ and what the untruth is. Repeated reading my blogs and postings make the seeker Soulcentric and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.~Santthosh Kumaar
