The presence of the universe is no obstacle to Gnani‘s realization; he does not need yogic Samadhi, but yogi has imagined Brahman as blankness or thoughtlessness, thus, he is still in the grip of the dualistic illusion. Thus, Yogi Brahman is but a thought.

The ultimate truth is not a thought, but the ultimate truth is prior to the form, time, and space. The thought arises only in the domain of form, time, and space. 

Thus, the ultimate truth is beyond the form, time, and space. One has to realize the Soul is prior to the form, time, and space. 

The Soul is the fullness of consciousness without the illusory division of form, time and space. The fullness of consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The yogi who wrongly thinks there is Brahman to be got, may attempt to do so and may think he sees it, but all the time he under the delusion of the duality because he bases himself on the physical body, thinking Brahman to be something different from the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Limiting the mind (I) to the physical entity is the cause of all confusion. Therefore, there is A need to know ‘what is the mind? and ‘what is the substance of the mind?’, and ‘what is the source of the mind?’ to overcome all the confusion. 

Deeper Self-search reveals that man and the world exist within the mind, and the mind itself is the universe.

By limiting the mind to the physical entity (ego or waking entity or you) and viewing and judging the worldview, makes one think that he is apart from the world, which is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality.

There is neither a projector nor a projection when one becomes aware of the formless witness of the three states. 

The Soul, the Self is the witness; the Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness pervades everything and everywhere in all three states as their formless clay. Thus, no second thing exists other than consciousness in all three states.

The mind (world) is non-existent on the standpoint of the Soul (consciousness) the  Self. Consciousness is the formless witness and also it is the formless substance of the three states. And the formless substance and witness are one, in essence. 

Thus, no second thing exists other than consciousness. Therefore, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

To realize this simple truth one need not go to any Guru, one need not lose himself in the labyrinth of philosophy; one need not spend his lifetime and indulge in glorifying the Guru and God, one need not search truth in the books, one need not renounce his family life. One has to be in the world but not of the world.

It is because of our inherited samskara or conditioning we are carrying the baggage of the mental junk. We have to burn all the junk, which is blocking our realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman.

If one is seeking truth nothing but truth one has to drop the worshiping and glorifying the physical Gurus. Glorifying Guru and Gods is for those ignorant who are not seeking the truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
