Discrimination between the Real and
the Unreal
the Unreal
(सत्-असत्का विवेक)
continued.....
The unreal always disappears and is detached. The supreme reality is ever attained. What is difficulty or inconvenience in the removal of that which is not available and in gaining one which is always attained? In these two situations what has to be done and what has not to be done? What to gain and what to lose? As the real is self evident.
Khoyaa kahe so baavaraa, paaya kahe so koor |
paayaa khoyaa kuch nahin, jyon-ka-tyon bharpoor ||
`A person who says that he has lost something, he is foolish and one who says that he has gained something is also not telling the real truth. In fact, nothing has been lost or gained, the fundamental whole (existence) stands completely full`. When there is nothing else except the ultimate truth, then what practice do we need? what to meditate? In this regard we have neither to do anything nor to think about anything; neither we have to take any decision, nor anything has to be achieved; neither we have to eliminate anything. It is a mistake to destroy the unreal and it is again a mistake to attempt to preserve and try to achieve it. Therefore it has neither to be destroyed, nor to preserve it. Neither it has to be removed, nor to be maintained, but we have to ignore it. That which is non-existing is automatically eliminated and that which really exists, only that is achievable. Therefore the unreal need not be destroyed, since non-real is already non-existing and we have not to achieve the ultimate truth because that reality is eternally available to us - after realizing this fact, one should become silent and should not indulge in any kind of thinking, nor should he think about God, because by thinking we get attached with the world and become distant from God.
Therefore we have not to have any type of thinking but we have to realize that we are established in the entity by which the power, which illuminate the process of thinking is illumined, which is self evident. One has to feel his position in that knowledge (jnana) from which feelings get illuminated and which is axiomatic.

Although only God exists; But the human being commits a mistake,in which he first of all looks at the untrue world (body) and thereafter looks unto God. First he gives importance to form and afterwards imposes the feeling of divinity in it. How long shall this superimposed polish stay like this? The aspirant should think deeply whether God existed or the body existed in the beginning. On giving deep thought it is proved that God existed before everything else, while the world came next. Self (real consciousness) existed in advance and the body came next. Therefore the intellect of the aspirant should first move towards God and not toward the world or body. To presume that we exist in the world and that we have to achieve God, the source of eternal bliss and consciousness, is a mistake view, because, in reality we exist completely in God. The world is without any existence - `Nasato Vidyate Bhaavah`.
The aspirant should always have an eye towards the eternally existing God and not towards the non-existing world. It means that he should be inclined to God and should have disinclination for the world. (continued.....)
