Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
We are perfectly aware of our existence in this world with the given physical features unique to each one of us ( a form ) identifying ourselves with a name. To say that the world is in us, indicates that we are experiencing the features of external world by a force unknown to us, but very much in existence in us alone giving us that knowledge. Now, Babuji advises us to search out the force behind the scene. The world would not have existed, had it not been available for us to see, live in and enjoy. So it is certainly established that we are as also the world exists along with us. We exist because of our being, which if spiritually dealt with represents ‘To be’ available everywhere representing ‘Life’. Supposing we want to become ‘Non self’, we have to annihilate ‘To be’ at least in thought to arrive at ‘Not to be’ in the real sense. In practice, we all know that our entire sadhana is to be always ‘To be’ and not to try its annihilation. Thus physically and physiologically ‘we are’, but spiritually ‘we are not’ in the sense that we are most often and most of the time not with our ‘Being’, which we truly represent ourselves in higher plane of consciousness.
Coming next to solving our problem of becoming ‘Being’, the thought of one who is at ‘One in Himself’ brings us to this state where knowledge reveals itself as ‘knowledgelessness’. To attain this state of knowledgelessness is the entire crux of our sadhana- who knows how much time and how many births we may have to take unless we are showered with ‘Grace’ by a highly realized Master as ours showing us the way and offering guidance in our endeavour.
Majority of humans are in the ‘not-to-be’ state and even fortunate few under the guidance of realized Masters, soon revert back to their original state of worldliness after every spell of practice of ‘Dhyana’, which gives us a glimpse of our real state of what ‘we are’
