dualism swami sandananda giri

The Suffering seeker, the Knowledge Seeker, and the Wealth Seeker and such other categorizations are all in Dualism. Those who think that God is different from one’s own Self do not know the principle or reality. If one thinks of God as separate from oneself then only one can pray to God. What is created by addressing somebody for a need is a sense of division. Without dividing oneself and God how can one put forward his wants? That is not merger It is division that is not proper. It is cutting instead of knowing what is indivisible as a whole. Any process which cuts the whole with wants and desires, is ignorance. To merge with the sea, the river joins with the sea. That is the usual process. After that it does not separate. One cloud joins with another cloud and becomes one; after that it does not again split. When the separation becomes non-existent, then only one is aware of the omnipresence. Any knowledge is incomplete until one knows the omnipresent as it is, as a whole. If the knowledge is incomplete, it is only like seeing worldly sights. Then, for the minds habituated to seeing things of the world divided, it is easy to treat the awareness of divinity also the same way, divided. Therefore the majority of the people are those that seek God in the dark path of untruth, quickly discarding the right path. It seems one man prayed, ’Oh, God! Please save me from the clutches of Gods’.
It is as a result of thoughts based on reasoning that the Sages (Rishis) of India (Bharath) accepted an omnipresent existence of Oneness (Adwaitha). Ordinary people are not able to understand the Awareness of Self shining bright gloriously in the Upanishads. Awareness of God is not something like the knowledge obtained by comparing and selecting one out of two comparable objects. Think deep discriminating among the mind that camouflages the Self, its decisions, and the ever-changing sense imageries. ‘Inside is emotionless’. Thoughts of sense objects are coming from outside. Inside there are no such thoughts. Don’t enquire why. Search or enquiry is movement. It can be intellectual, mental, or connected with senses. But God is not an object that can be known by such enquiry. When the mental processes that create forms or objects subside, then whatever remains, that is God.
