All your questions and doubts arise within the dualistic illusion (universe). Without the dualistic illusion, you and your world cease to exist. The dualistic illusion is created out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul the ‘Self’ is the One without a second. There is not the least shadow of multiplicity in the realm of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.
A person, seeing a rope in dim light, mistakes it for a snake. He is as much frightened as he would have been if there had been a real snake there. The snake is said to have an ‘illusory reality’. The illusory snake is described as a superimposition on the rope. The snake is not real, because, it is found on examination with a light that it never existed there. At the same time, it was experienced as a reality till ignorance prevailed. Similarly, this waking experience is experienced as reality till wisdom dawns.
On the dawn of Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, it is known to have no existence apart from consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The waking experience is therefore said to be superimposed on consciousness same way as the dream is superimposed on consciousness. The waking experience is the practical reality because it is real until the attainment of Self-realization. Consciousness alone has absolute reality; because it is absolutely changeless because it is formless.
That is why Sage Sankara says: ~ VC -65~ As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it, and (finally) grasping, but never come out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverse arguments.:
Atmic path is not a question and answers session. The Atmic path is not the path of exchange of views and opinions. I have bifurcated what is not needed to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
Self-knowledge will not arise from the exchange of views opinions and arguments. The accumulated knowledge is not a yardstick, to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space.
In the path of wisdom discussion of the unimportant subject matter, it creates a hindrance. The path of truth is the path of verification.
Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. Agreeing to disagree causes unnecessary friction.
Sharing is giving info for the sake of goodness. As with all things, achieving a balance of peaceful communication is established with respect, humility, understanding, and patience. Balancing an achievement is harder.
The Atmic path is not the path of discussion, but the path of realization of the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.
There is only one Reality to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by ignorance (I). Self-discovery is the only way, towards a non-dual Absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusion in which we all are searching the truth of our true existence.
Nothing is needed for acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana other than perfect understanding, assimilation, and realization of ‘what is what”.
The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.
People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.
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 world, observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego and, therefore, experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul or consciousness.
Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
The seeker should be aware of everything that is untrue: stick to the truth and he shall succeed, maybe slowly, but surely.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘’what is untruth?’. It takes time for the Soul, the innermost Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. : ~:~ Santthosh Kumaar
