Gb;Self; Self does not appear or disappear. It is an eternal witness. The experience of mergence, brother IC speaks of can be compared with a cloud, covering the sun. Cloud is born out of the sun, but when it comes between the earth and the sun, earthlings think, sun is ‘gone’. As soon the cloud moves away, the sun is as resplendent as it was before. It did no go anywhere. It was there all the times, but our hindered sight could not perceive it. Similarly clouds of thoughts (mind) comes between the individual-self and the sun (Atma), when the mind is gone (steadied), we are our real-self i.e. ATMA (Self).
“a deep stud of the principles of science and spirituality that the atom is the basis of everything in the world. Even the foods we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, are all constituted by atoms. But there is something more subtle and fundamental than even the atoms. Everything has originated from the Fundamental Principle. Instead of trying to know the FP, man is getting carried away by the trivialities. Subtler than the atom, vaster than the cosmos, Divinity is present everywhere as the atma (soul/self) as the eternal witness. Try to experience the principle of the atma which transcends everything, in order to experience the Atma, you should pursue spiritual education along with secular education.”
Similarly Nirvan or Liberation (whatever is meant by it?), in simple terms, is freedom from sufferings. The freedom is reached at three levels viz. body, mind and Atma (soul). Freedom from hunger or disease is physical liberation. Controlling the vagaries of the mind is also a kind of freedom at mental level. But true liberation or Nirvan is in understanding the principle/Tathav of Atma: which is all pervasive. It neither comes nor goes. Buddha’s last commandment to his cousin Anandh was “Overcome Maaya (ignorance/mind) have the vision of Atma and attain Nirvan”.
“State” connotes ones’ nearness or elevation or enlightenment of wisdom in being ‘aware’ of the Atma-Tathav (Fundamental-Principle). In fact there is no state in the realization of the Self. Self has no states/stages; hence it is always realized in whole instantly. States are only in our mind, which connotes the level of its cleansing of the trash-filled storage and correspondingly getting wiser to that extent. Wisdom is removal of the trash in our minds and diverting its direction inward i.e. towards the Self. When the mind has understood its transient nature, it transforms into wisdom. Rest, later.
