Dattatreya's Song of the Avadhut 1.36-42- Non-duality is taught by some; some others teach duality. They don't understand that the all-pervading Reality is beyond both duality and non-duality.
The Gurus who speak of ripeness and effort, of merits and achievements, of destiny and grace, love compassion; all these are fables of the Gurudom.
Only a sentimentally addicted mindset falls into these sentimental traps; instead of helping the seeker to progress, they obstruct.
The egocentric vision keeps the invisible Soul, the Self, in the grip of ignorance, and ignorance is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion (universe) as a reality.
The ‘I’ is inborn samskara or conditioning. Because of this inborn samskara or conditioning, one has accepted the ‘I’ as the Self; he is ignorant that he has accepted illusion as reality.
The ‘I’ itself is an illusion. And whatever is connected to the ‘I’ is bound to be an illusion. The Self is not an individual because the Self is the invisible Soul is birthless because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The Soul, the Self, is not limited to waking experience alone because it pervades all three states.
Thus, identifying the Self without the form alone is erroneous. The Self is without the illusory form, without time, and without space.
Thoughts have nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self, which is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence, because without form, time, and space, the thought will not be formed.
The thought rises only to the waking entity or dream entity. Without the waking entity or dream entity, the thoughts will not arise.
Deeper self-search reveals that the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is dream entity, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The invisible Soul, the Self, witnesses the coming and going of the three states. The three states have nothing to do with the Self because they are merely an illusion.
Till one realizes the truth beyond form, time, and space, the duality will prevail as a reality. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
