If you see the world in which you exist with the dualistic lenses
of ignorance you will never be able to grasp the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic
illusion or Maya.
Viewing and judging the worldview on the dualistic
perspective does not define ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘what is the untruth?.’
All these experiences as a father, son, Guru, and pupil were one and the same consciousness appearing
differently. All these distinctions disappear when one realizes the ultimate
truth or Brahman.
In the dream, the mountain
which is apparently insentient and material is nevertheless still Soul, which
is present in the form of consciousness alone. Whether living or dead,
conscious or unconscious thought or matter; all things are appearances of one
and the same consciousness. All these distinctions are seen by Gnani as only consciousness.
The words are used only for communication purposes. The look of an object will depend upon the medium
through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual
conditions will determine the phenomenal world observed and experienced.
The ignorant viewing the world confronting
him sees it different from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one of us
interprets the world, one sees in terms of his existing knowledge. A Gnani sees
the world and its contents as the illusory play as consciousness, whereas
ignorant sees the world and its contents as a reality.
Without the realization
of the ultimate truth or Brahman man remains as ignorant of the ultimate truth
or Brahman. Without the realization of ultimate truth, the seeker remains as a
seeker.
On the physical plane, there is
a seeker, seeking and destination, but from the ultimate standpoint, there is neither
the seeker nor seeking nor the destination.
The words may give
different meanings at different levels of understanding. As one moves deeper and
deeper one realizes the thought, the thinker, words and the world are one in
essence. Thus, in the realm of truth, the thought and words become meaningless.
A Gnani has realized the truth
hidden by the illusory form, time and
space do not give importance to the thoughts and the words. The thoughts and
words have to value only in falsehood.
It is not you have to wake up, but it is the Soul, the Self has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance.
You and your experience of the
world are the product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes then the reality of you
and your experience of the world is exposed.
You and your world are unreal from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self.
You are not you but consciousness; your body is not the body but consciousness, the world in
which you exist is not the world but consciousness.
Everything known,
seen, believed and experienced by you is nothing but consciousness then
what else remains, which is not consciousness.
There is nothing else to
realize other than to realize that consciousness alone is, everting else is merely
an illusion created out of consciousness.
The Advaitic
wisdom dawns by realizing everything is consciousness. There is no room for the
duality in reality. Perfect
understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ lead to Advaitic awareness. :
