Discrimination between the Real and the
Unreal

Those things, persons and activities of the past and the future that the aspirant gives importance to, thoughts (memory) of those come to his mind automatically, even without thinking and desiring. The aspirant meditates upon God in order to remove the memory of those thoughts. But it is a principle that which automatical come to mind (in memory), those things cannot be eliminated by making a conscious efforts to remove that automatic flow of thought. Rather, fresh thinking creates new impressions of fresh thoughts. So the previous thought does not get removed but in fact it gets additional strength. The automatic flow of thoughts gets eliminated by automatic flow of fresh thoughts or by being completely silent. The meaning is that, on realizing the reality or on being actionless or on Self Realization or on loving God, the automatic flow of thoughts connected
with world comes to an end. “To be silent” means that the aspirant should ignore the automatic flow of thoughts, that is he should consider it neither appropriate nor inappropriate. He should not consider them in him nor should he start any fresh thoughts by himself. He should have nothing to do whether a thought comes to his mind or whether it does not come. He should not be the doer of things that are done nor be the enjoyer (consumer) of things that happen. He shall slowly become quiet and will be free from all thoughts. But he should not insist on becoming free from thoughts or free from enjoying pleasures. By doing so, the aspirant shall become free from what he thinks and what thought comes to his mind naturally - “Naiva tasya krutenaartho naakruteneh kaschan|” (Gita 3/18).
In this world that great soul has no use whatsoever for things done nor for things not done.”
Because of the relationship of organs of actions in the performance of actions and because of relationship of the inner-sense with the occurrence of actions - both (performance and occurrence of actions) of them are unreal.
By being free from doing and happening of events, one’s own existence in eternal reality, which is automatic, shall be realized.

The unreal does not exist which means that this illusionary appearance moves into non-existence. But the knowledge of this fact does not change into non-existence. We are naturally established in this knowledge. The body is perishing every moment, therefore the body does not exist but only the self exists. The existence of the self transcends clime, time, things, persons, states, incidents and circumstances.
Actually the unreal does not exist but it is only the real which exists. There is only the assumption of the unreal. This assumption of the unreal does not let us accept the real. The wrong assumption is wiped out by accepting the real assumption. In fact there is neither the wrong assumption, nor the right one, only the self exists.
Just as hands, legs, nose, etc., are the parts of the body, the unreal is not even a part of the eternal truth. The one which remains flowing (going away continuously) and which is defective, is not a part. Just as phlegm, urine, etc. which are flowing and boils etc which are changeable do not constitute parts of a body, similarly the unreal (illusory), flowing and changeable does
not constitute the part of the truth (the real).
