What is the use of declaring: ‘The world is real’ or ‘The world is an unreal appearance’; ‘The world is sentient’ or ‘The world is not sentient’; ‘The world is happiness’ or ‘The world is not happiness’?
(Bhagavan in ‘Uḷḷadu Nāṟpadu’: v. 3)
Making statements like this without any experience is worthless.
Imagining this state of unity with God is useless
Trying to understand it is worthless
Experience the state – without ego. Where duality of the universe is gone !
Be there!
How ? No thoughts. No ego. No body. No imagination. That is pure consciousness. It is to be experienced while in the body. Not after death. That state is Samadhi.
But I know. Most people are eager to understand. Few will want to know how to still the mind. Some will say yoga , maha yoga, Raj yoga or Bhakti. But in all of them if the mind is active it can’t take you to God or self.
Isn’t it so curious?
