What is reality ?

[Guest guest]

Question :

What is reality ?

Answer :

Reality must be always real. It is not with forms and names.

That which underlines these is reality. It underlines limitations,

being itself limitless. It is not bound. It underlines unrealities,

itself being real. Reality is that which is. It is as it is.

It transcends speech. It is beyond the expressions

'existence, non-existence',etc.

The reality which is the mere consciousness that remains

when ignorance is destroyed along with knowledge of objects ,

alone is the Self (atma). In that Brahma-swarupa(real form of Brahman),

which is abundant self-awareness,there is not the least ignorance.

The reality which shines fully ,without misery and without a body,

not only when the world is known but also when the world

is not known ,is your real form(nija-swarupa).

The radiance of consciousness-bliss, in the form of one awareness

shining equally within and without, is the supreme and primal

reality. Its form is silence and it is declared by jnanis to be

the final and unobstructable state of true knowledge(jnana).
