MIRAGE

‘Brahma satyam jaganmithya.’ Put water in the dish and keep it in the open sky. What do you see? The whole sky comes in the dish. You see the sun, the moon and the stars in the dish. Is it true? No, it is not true; it is false. In the night, you sleep. You go in dreams. Now you are in another world. You talk, eat, drink, and move like awakened state. Is it true? No, it is also not true. In deep sleep, the world is vanished. Similarly, in trance, the world vanishes. In the darkness, you see a rope and think it to be a snake. Nevertheless, the only thing, which always exists and never vanishes, is ‘I’.
We say about the dream false and the world true. Is that so? If both vanish, then how one can be false and another true. The only difference is duration. The dream is shorter compared to awakened state. Hence, when we awake, we think the dream false. When we will think about the awakened state world from the dream world, it will seem false. That is why, in deep sleep and in trance, both the world vanish.
‘ Man eb manushyanan karanan bandh mokshayoh.’ The world is nothing but the assumption of the mind. The mind is itself collection of thoughts. When it rests in its home (Heart), all thoughts vanish. In deep sleep and in trance the mind is in its home. At those times the only thing remains is pleasure. There is only bliss.
The mind is itself ‘I’. When it is in its home (heart), it is pure I (The Soul). When it is outside it is false I (mind). This is the only source to get liberation or to feel bondage. The mind is like the stick, which burns the body (thoughts). When the body is burnt, the stick is also put on the same funeral pile.
What happened in the past was good, what is being at present, is good and what will be in the future, will be good. Only I (Soul, Brahma) shines everywhere irrespective of time and space. There is nothing else. I am the whole world and the whole world is in me. Thus, the whole world with the Brahma is true and without Him is false. Only Gyani knows the truth. We should do our duty without thinking ourselves doer. Samjho jag ko na nira sapna, path aap prasasta karo apna. – Ohm Namo Bhagvate Shree Ramanay.
