Namaste,

 

If there were a real appearance of creation then it would not

disappear in deep sleep. It would not disappear on the dropping of

the body of a Mukta.

 

There is no rope in the first place, there is only Nirguna. This is

not nihilist for Nirguna Brahman is accepted.

 

We can accept the so called appearance to make progress, but many

cannot face the idea that the appearance isn't even there and never

happened. This is a fear, and is not really true non dualism. It is

a clinging to Saguna as the reality not admitting Nirguna, it is not

Ajata. It is a clinging to culture, religion, beliefs and ideas,

that make up the 'individual person'. It is a taking of the

teachings of the Sages and finding a level that one is comfortable

with and can fit them together, preserving one's individuality.

 

There is no time ultimately, even science admits to this relative

phenonema. It has been even scientifically proven, that time can be

different to different people in different circumstances. So if

there is no time, what can unfold? So it can only be an illusion

that rises with our perception whilst we are in it. However as it

disappears in deep sleep and Moksha/Dropping of the body and

connection with Sakti, then it obviously never ever happened.

 

For either we are 'God' or we are not. As there is only One, then

there cannot even be illusion or delusion. There never was a rope to

have illusions about.....there is only Nirguna..........S

Trying to think the unthinkable,

is doing something unnatural to thought.

Abandoning such a practice therefore,

I am now established.
