Reality Explained

Gift of Existence
Your experiencing dream is false in waking state. Your experiencing waking state is false in sleep as you don’t know any thing of your waking state. Your experiencing sleep not in sleep and say it only in waking state. Therefore, sleep is also false. That is when you are in one state the other states are false. In such a condition how can you come to a conclusion that a particular state is true. This you will know when you are conscious of sleep also which is nothing ness. But the Consciousness continues in all these three states otherwise you will not know these states. But the pity is you are identifying yourself only with the waking state and not aware of Consciousness. On both sides of sleep wakefulness is present or in other words it may be said that sleep develops into dream and waking states. Now understand that your dream and wakefulness is the product of nothingness which is sleep. All these appear as some thing as objects are just illusions appearing on the background of Consciousness. They are false and untrue appearing as real. In sleep nothing is known is also false but the sleep is known in the next state which is waking. You come to know sleep consists of nothing in

waking state. Similarly you don’t come to know the waking state in dream. Therefore, no state is known to you in that state. Therefore, these states are false.

Now tell me what are you and existing in which state? Now do you understand that you are nothing but Consciousness which you cannot explain. This unexplainable thing is the real You. All the rest appearing as subject and object are only dreams of the mind and there is no reality in them. Mind appears and disappears creating illusions and you as a person is also an illusion get submerged in all these illusions or dreams. An illusion within an illusion or a dream within dream or an imagination within imagination. You are just a living no thing. All the rest do not exist but appears to exist. You are caught in this illusion. To know and understand this itself is the greatest gift from Existence.

Consciousness
Consciousness is conscious of every thing but without identification. Are you not just now conscious of every thing? Pure mind is always merged in consciousness when there are no thoughts. It remains just like two sides of a coin. It cannot be separated. It perceives consciousness as objects but at the same time knows its original nature. This mind as it is, is also an illusion because it is nothing but consciousness but functions as an illusory mind only for the purpose of projecting consciousness as objects. This will be known when the mind is free of ego and conditioned thoughts. The consciousness of yours is not based on you but on the outer as objects. You are missing yourself. The visible part of consciousness is the body. But you are not the body. The visibility is an illusion created through the eyes. The seeing is nothing but consciousness. You cannot explain this seeing alone.

Miracles
Miracles are only connected with the body and impure mind having been corrupted by ego. Until man realizes himself as consciousness all the rest appears to act independently appearing as true including miracles which every one likes. But they are illusions. But miracles may happen at Consciousness level where there is no mind or thought of a body.

I am doing’ is false
I am here like a doer is just an illusion or ego created by thoughts. Is there a doer of a mirage? It just looks as if it is there but when you go near it, it is not there. The doer is similar to this mirage. If one enquires deeply he will find there is no doer and only doing goes on and if that is enquired further, the doing looks like a cinema or TV show. A sort of dream for nobody. This no body is nothing other than No thing ness which is consciousness.

Ego
Ego is the centre of reflection of others and what has been fed into you as recognizing media or thoughts. This forms the false ‘I’. Only through ego mind can evolve finally to be dropped. Therefore, ego is also necessary. But at one stage you will have to learn to drop it.

This moment
Planning is based on the past adding or subtracting some portions of the past and projected as future. You go to sleep and wake up. This you call the future or tomorrow. In this process the present or the “now’ is missed when there was no yesterday. It is always the now. This moment.

You are used
You are a contingent (temporary) illusion and not an universal necessity. Whether you are there or not the world is not bothered or affected. But you think others will be bothered and develop relationship without love which cannot be sustained. They will be bothered as long as you are useful to them. They will discard you the moment they come to know that you are useless for them any more

Bakthi
Love is Bakthi. Do you love anything when you go to a temple? Do you merge in love? (I am not talking about a woman/man.) You have a hundred and one requests to be made in the temple without knowing where to make the request. But after making the request you get satisfied. Find out who is getting satisfied. Don’t say ‘I’. It is false.

Relationship
If you can relate with anger, why not with love? You just remain as a function or may be action like a machine. With ego you cannot have relationship. Relationship is based on love. It is love. The ego does not know love. Remain in love always. You will be in relationship with every thing. Don’t name it, such as ‘this is my uncle. I am related to him’. Stop this nonsense. Remain in relationship with children. Don’t say ‘this is my daughter or son’. Just be in relation ship with them. (In reality there is no ‘them’ also.) You will be in relationship with every thing. Even with a blade of grass. But you are rejecting it with hate and going for a divorce. Be in relationship with a woman. Don’t give a name to it as ‘my wife’. Clinging to a name as man or woman is not love. It is possessiveness. Who is possessing whom is the big question. No one can give a correct reply.

Death
Withdrawal of thoughts is death. Projection or reprojection of thought is birth. Thoughts only appear and disappear. This is seen by the mind as birth and death and not by man. If you know this you will laugh at death. Nothing is born and nothing dies. You are just a mind doing this rubbish work. Birth is only the ego which is the ‘I’ thought. Thoughts create the universe. One has to struggle to get rid of this ridiculous illusion.

Witness
The real you is only a witness of all happenings. The world is not out side but inside you as consciousness. But you identify you with the body and therefore, the world appears out side. But

certainly you are not the seer or the doer. Only your eye sees. The body is used by the mind to do anything. The mind perceives itself as objects and you as a person don’t exist at all. Don’t use your nonsensical intellect here. It will not work.

Guru
Guru or Master is not the body or its name. It is the whole. You will not understand this now. But of course many pose as Gurus. But you cannot identify the real one because you are ignorant.

You are only after fulfilling your desires and think these false Gurus can help you. No. Nobody can help you. You have to help yourself and here you get stuck in desires. Drop these useless desires. Don’t compare yourself with others. It cannot be done. You are unique by yourself. Why you want to be somebody?
