The ‘I’ blocks
you from realizing the truth hidden by form, time, and space because the ‘I’
itself in the form, time, and space. Whatever belongs to form, time and space
is the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance.
The ‘I’ is the cause of the ignorance because ‘I’ itself is ignorance.
That is why
Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first
see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16
People are stuck
glorifying the ‘I’ and ‘I-centric’ Gurus and their teaching. The more you
glorify the ‘I’ and ‘I-centric’ Gurus and their teaching you will be caught up
in the prison of ignorance. The ‘I-centric teaching is dualistic.
The ‘I’ appears
on its own, it perishes on its own. The ‘I’ is not the cause of the appearance and
disappearance because the ‘I’ itself is the appearance. The ‘Self’ not ‘I’, but
the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The one which
witnesses, the appearance and disappearance is not ‘I’ because the ‘I’ appears
and disappears.
The one which is
aware of the appearance and disappearance ‘I’ is the Soul, which is present in
the form of consciousness.
Realize, ‘what
is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality and what is hidden by the ‘I’ will be
revealed.
If you realize
the ‘Self ‘not the ‘I’ but the Soul then whatever hidden by the ‘I’ will be
revealed.
Realizing the
Soul is not the ‘I’ but the Soul is the Self, is Self –realization.
That is why
Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and
goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides
the truth of the whole.
People 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.
People are stuck
with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take the 'I' as real because some Gurus have
propagated the Self as the ‘I’. there is no need to convince such a mindset.
The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.
Perfect
understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ lead to Advaitic
Self-awareness.
The dualists,
having the idea of difference, even the least notion of the ‘I’, can never get
realization.
For those who
are mentally so constituted that they must rely on some authority, who cannot
think for themselves, who cannot stand on their own legs, who must quote some
man or other, we prescribe scriptures. But for those who have sharp brains, we
appeal to reason and so. There is no need for the scriptures to realize the
ultimate truth or Brahman.
Science is the highest teaching in the world of duality. Spirituality has its roots in the same world but ultimately leads to non-dualistic awareness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
