With eyes of ignorance, it is impossible to understand nonduality. Nonduality has to be mentally grasped by discriminating between the untruth and the truth.
What is the use of reading thousands of pages, on truth?
What is the use of searching for Gurus in order to get truth realization?
What is the use of wandering in the mountains is the search for truth?
What is the use of indulging in yogic Samadhi or meditation within the unreal world?
The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. Without realizing what is this ‘I’ you will never realize the truth which is beyond the form, time, and space.
All the Gurus glorified the ‘I’. Thus, it becomes very difficult to discard the ‘I’. Those who have accepted the ‘I’ based teaching refuse to accept anything other than their accepted truth.
Till you hold the ‘‘Self’’ as the ‘I’, your knowledge remains skin deep. What is it that appears as the ‘I’ and disappears as the ‘I-less? It is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Do not make the mistake of holding the ‘I’ as the ‘Self’ because it is not permanent. ‘I’ disappears and becomes ‘I’-less-Soul. ‘I’ is an illusion, and the ‘I-LESS-Soul’ is real and eternal. The ‘I-LESS -Soul ‘appears as ‘I’ and ‘I ’‘disappears as I-LESS-Soul.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The earliest ancient sages used the word ‘I’ to the witness of the three states, not to the ego as moderns use it and think the ‘I’ without the body is the ‘Self’.
The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the ‘Self’, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true ‘Self’, which is eternal.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say ‘I’, if you feel the ‘‘Self’’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
