Illusion on the delusions.

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

IMO the problem with the term 'realisation', particularly among those

that don't follow a sadhana, is that it could mean many things.

 

Some think the realisation that all is one, is liberation.

 

Many verbal non dualists think it is something to achieve through

thinging and verbalisation without purification. Vndists.

 

Buddha talks of several layers of trance, Ramana talks of several

layers of samadhi, the Sufis talk of different States.

 

Apart from this people can experience temperory unity and even have a

peak experience, this doesn't mean liberation.

 

One can have a feeling of unity with the group human mind.

 

Or the group, mammalian mind, or animal mind, or the general mind of

all vegetable llfe or even the planetary mind.

 

Or temporary unity with the akashik mind etc.

 

All these are temporary and not liberation.

 

Liberation is no mind at all, just Nirguna Brahman, even if the

residual body is part of universal energy.

 

If one would like to get an inkling into what a mindless state is,

then I would suggest.

" No mind I am the Self",

by David Godman, based on the teachings of Sri Lakshmana Swamy, and

Mathru Sri Sarada.
