Chandogya
Upanishad: ~ “Whoever sees the Self in all does not see death,
disease or diversity.
From
a dualistic perspective, the individual experience of the birth. Life, death,
and the world are a reality.
From a nondualistic perspective, the individual experience of the birth. Life, death,
and the world are an illusion.
Wherever
there is duality there is the illusion. Wherever there is nonduality there is a reality.
A
Gnani sees duality as nonduality in the midst of duality because he has
attained Gnana.
First,
the seeker has to know ‘what is the subject’ and ‘what is the object’. Deeper
Self-search reveals the fact that”: the world in which we exist is an object to
the formless subject. The formless subject is the Soul, which is present in the
form of consciousness.
Deeper
verification reveals the fact that the object and the subject are one in
essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, an object only an illusion
created out of the formless subject. Thus, in reality, the subject is real
exists eternal.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views
it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the object (three
states), observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the object (three
states) will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same three states. Each
one interprets the three states that they see in terms of their existing
knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, object
(the world in which he exists as a reality), whereas a Gnani sees everything as
the consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second
thing exists other than the Soul or consciousness (subject).
Thus, all the
objective observation has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which
is beyond form, time and space.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
