(Saadhak, Saadhya tatha Saadhan)
Shree Hari
There is nothing else besides that one Divinity (Existence). In that Divinity, there is neither "I" nor "You" nor "This" nor "That". The existence of the world is something that we have believed, we have accepted. In reality, it is non-existent. That Existence is "Is" while the world is "not". "Not" is not (non-existent) and the "Is" is "Is" (existent) - "Nasato Vidyate Bhaavo, Naabhaavo vidhyate satah." (Gita 2/16).
"Not" is naturally and innately non-existent and "Is" is naturally and innately existent. That "Is" is our "end" (goal, object of attainment) that is to be attained by us. How can that which is "not" (non-existent) be the end? That "Is" does not have to be experienced, it is an embodiment of realization or realization personified.
When viewed from the perspective of the "essence" (tattva), then an aspirant is he who cannot live without his "end" (God) and God is that which cannot live without the aspirant. An aspirant cannot be apart from God and God cannot be apart from the aspirant. The reason is an aspirant and God both have one existence. No one can be separate from "is". Therefore if we are aspirants, then attainment of the end (God) should happen immediately. An aspirant is he who does not accept any other entity (existence) besides God. He need not depend on anything else, besides the end (God), neither object, nor action . What kind of sadhak is he who can live without his aim (God). What kind of child is he who can live without his mother? And what a mother is who lives without the child? Our end can't live without us, it has no power at all because at the root Existence is only one. As in the ocean and the wave, there is only existence of water, so is there only one Existence in the aspirant and the end.
The wave is merely an assumption. So long as there is affinity with the body (inert) in the form of the wave, he is an aspirant. But when affinity with the inert matter is totally renounced, he does not remain an aspirant, but becomes an End (God). If an aspirant lives without the end, it should be understood that besides the end he also aspires for something else (pleasure and prosperity). He has given importance to them also. Similarly if the end lives without the aspirant, it means that besides the final aim (end, goal) an aspirant has also other aims. His end is also pleasure and prosperity. The extent to which he attaches importance to the perishable, to the same extent there is deficiency in his aspiration. That deficiency keeps him away from the end. As soon as he becomes a perfect aspirant (i.e. renounces relationship with the inert), he attains the end (i.e. God).
The end (goal, God) appears to be unattained by an aspirant because he regards the body as "I", "mine" and "for me". An excellent means to attain the end is not to accept any other existence besides the end (God). Therefore an aspirant should firmly accept the fact that the world does not exist. It didn't exist in the past, it will not exist in the future and at present also it is perishing every moment. It does not exist at all. The current of the creation and the dissolution appears as its existence. (to be continued)
