Q:~ S G:~ Ya, I got it cleared, but how I dissolved all that stuff. The illusion, dualities, etc. I keep on repeating, am not the body even not the mind, but when u proceed to our duty in this world, do the action, you reach nowhere. Is it possible for women to reach there, for they are more vulnerable to moha- Maya for their grandchildren
A:~Santthosh Kumaar:~ By repeating I am not the body, I am not the mind the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of the wisdom ignorance will not vanish.
First, realize the world in which you exist itself is Maya. Maya is the illusion. Thus, whatever happens within the illusion is bound to be an illusion.
Until you realize you, your grandchildren, and moha for your grandchildren, your circumstances of life, and the world in which you exist are a reality within the dualistic illusion (Maya) it is impossible to realize the 'Self' hidden by the Maya. ,
The whole dualistic illusion (universe) is created out of a single clay and that single clay is the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness that ignorance will not vanish.
A perfect understanding of what is what leads to Atmic -awareness. You must realize your body is not the body but consciousness, the world in which you exist is not the world but consciousness, when you have the firm conviction that the illusion is nothing but consciousness because the illusion is created out of consciousness then the reality of the illusion fades away on its own, same way as the reality of the dream faded away when the waking took s place.
A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that the world in which he exists, is a passing show. The witness of the passing show is the Soul; the Self is real and eternal. A Gnani vision is based on the Soul, not on his body.
In Self-awareness, the body is not the body, but it is consciousness, the ego is not the ego, but it is consciousness, the world is not the world, but it is consciousness even though they exist, their unreal nature is exposed.
Just as the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place, the waking also becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.
He who knows the 'thoughts and words and the world in which he exists as consciousness, is the knower of ultimate truth, who has realized the highest Truth, has entered into the realm of consciousness, by burning away the accumulated egocentric dross, which was the cause of ignorance. Hence, he is free from experiencing the illusion as reality. In the realm of truth, the consciousness has no seed of ignorance for illusion.
When the dualistic illusion is superimposed on consciousness has merged with consciousness on the discrimination of the real and the unreal, it does not appear again as real to those discriminating people, just as before, from the impressions of the past persisting in the intellect.
All the doubts and confusion exist when the reason is based on the ego (form). But when one reason is based on the Soul (formless) as the Self, all the doubts and confusion vanish.
One cannot know the truth until one knows the stuff from which the mind (universe) is created.
The goal of the pursuit of truth is to realize the fact that, the true Self is not physical, but it is the formless Soul (Spirit or consciousness).
When one puts aside the imagination and has the thinker~ what does he get with thinking ~he can get only the thoughts. Meditation is only an effort; it is imagination, an idea; the Soul (consciousness), the Self, remains the same with or without ideas.
As a person perceiving the world, one is unaware that he and his experience of the world are within the object. He as a person is completely unaware that he is not the subject at all.
The subject is formless, and it is apart from the three states. The subject is not an entity or identity within the three states. Therefore, judging the truth on the base of the object as Self is erroneous. Such judgment leads to all sorts of speculation, doubts, and confusion.
When one is absorbed in thinking of anything, he is thinking within the object (mind) that which witnesses all these three states is within but always apart.
Gnani and the Illusion: ~
A King who was greatly incensed at the wisdom taught by Gnani that everything here below is an illusion. He wanted to teach the exponent of this doctrine a lesson. So he invited the then Gnani to his palace
That Gnani went there and stoutly maintained that everything in this world is an illusion.
The king had arranged to let loose a hungry lion against Gnani. The beast rushed at Gnani who took to a precipitate flight to save himself.
'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast seeing that the lion is only an illusion?'
'Oh, king,' said Gnani in the course of his flight, 'my running too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.’
Similarly, we all are searching for truth within the illusion not being aware that the illusion is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, searching for the truth in illusion with the illusory Self, within the illusory experience, has to be an illusion. The illusion is created and sustained, and finally, dissolves as the Soul or consciousness.
There is no second thing other than consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth of Brahman or God in truth.
The Advaitic wisdom dawns in the midst of duality (falsehood or waking). When wisdom dawns the universe (waking) will not disappear, but its unreal nature is exposed.
One realizes the unity in diversity in consciousness because consciousness pervades everything and everywhere in the universe. Thus everything is consciousness.
Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is God. Thus, God is the whole, not the part.
To get Self-realization or God-realization, the seeker has to drop all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
