Mysticism is dualistic. Mysticism encourages people to be lazy, to think that external objects are created by God and internal objects are created by Jiva. Both God and Jiva are man’s creations.
The seeker of truth should not waste his time in talks of Jiva and God disputes; rather inquire into the nature of the Soul.
The mystic must become a constant slave to some line of "thought" or rather imagination, and then he will really see visions confirming his imagination.
The mystic who sees God in vision has seen Him during the waking state. The waking experience itself is an illusion. Thus, whatever is seen within the illusion is bound to be an illusion. Thus, the mystic must realize his existence is a reality within the illusion.
Whatever belief of God one is familiar with through his inherited conditioning or samskara that he will see in his visions. When a man is a false Self within the false experience, then whatever he believes is bound to be a falsehood.
God is the Soul the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. God is not within you, but you and your experience of the world are within God. Self-realization is God-realization because the Soul, the Self itself is God. When you and your experience of the world disappear, then God alone prevails as a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Mysticism has its pragmatic value but mystics fail to stop and ask "What is the ultimate meaning of this bliss which they feel in the mystic experience?" Therefore, an inquiry is needed to realize ‘What is the truth?’ ‘What is the untruth?’
The mystic object to introducing inquiry into the quest adopts an attitude as though it were like introducing something that is not sacred.
Mysticism blocks the mystic from realizing the truth hidden by the untruth because he has accepted the untruth as the ultimate truth. He is unaware of the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God.
The ultimate truth or Brahman or God can be realized only when he realizes the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’.
The ‘Self the Spirit’ is God, not the ‘I’. Only those who realize the Spirit as the ‘Self’ are real Gnani. ;~Santthosh Kumaar
