Kindle Notes & Highlights
A spiritual seeker’s sole purpose is to destroy the ego and the ‘non-apprehension of the Reality’ (avidyā) which is the cause for it. Where this destruction is complete, the very Lord of destruction, Śiva, alone remains. Hence, Lord Śiva is represented, often, as the Lord of meditation.
Where is existence or where is ‘non-existence’? Where is the one (unity) and where is duality? What need is there to say more? Nothing indeed emanates from me.
This Consciousness can neither be called as ‘dual’ or ‘non-dual’ as these concepts are true only in the relative world. These two are again judgements of the intellect.
The world of names and forms is an illusion created by the restless mind.
It is not to be reached through the intellect by its reasoning, but it is a state to be arrived at only through man's intuitive insight. To cultivate this intuitive insight, all other sādhanās are necessary.
‘Through Faith, devotion and meditation you come to know It yourself’12.
