The process of universe creation and the process of moving hand is same. Everything in universe happens with the same process. There is no need of external proof to believe something, one can't really believe with external proofs. One really believes what one sees, one really believes only in himself. That alone brings transformative changes, not just knowledge to be stored in brain.
The truth is always simple. You can easily see it, easily know it. There is no need of for someone to tell it to you. You are part of universe, that means you have all its secrets inside you. What happens in everyday life is what happens in ultimate secrets too.
Someone can help in the sense that they can make you notice something you were seeing but not noticing.
You are the central figure in all this. Earlier I was seeking a lot from outside, for someone to tell me the truth or tell me the way to it or make me understand it. That was, in a way, my mistrust in myself.
Idea of Advait brought me back home, back to myself. First of all the idea of one and oneness makes sense, integrates. Then it places me at center so I can see and check everything for myself. That increases one's integrity, one's faith a thousandfold. Hearing that something happened vs seeing it happen has a vast difference of impact on oneself.
There is an I. At rest it is at rest. When provoked, it does things. Even in doing it stays the same. You move your head and see a tree. You move your head again and stop seeing it. In all this, "You" stays the same -- You moved head, You saw tree, You stopped seeing tree. Yet activities are happening. Head is moving, tree is appearing and disappearing. Those are activities of You. You takes form of head, then moves the head, then takes form of tree, then stops taking form of tree and takes form of head. Based on ideas, desires, sankalps, You takes forms. Pain and pleasure are also forms. Just as we see, same way we feel. To say that form is me is also true, to say that I created form thus I am separate from form is also true. In that way dvait is also, advait is also true.
Taking form is boundation, not taking form is liberation. To do things, to take form, has many motives. Ideological, moral, sensual. Motivated by some idea we believe in, trying to fulfill that idea. Or believing in some moral obligation, some duty we ought to do. Or simply tempted by form. Seeing falsity of these things is what wisdom is called. Falsity of ideas, of duties, of forms.
Truth is neither on one side nor on other. People live believing in either one idea or its opposite idea. They spend their time pointing advantage of their side and disadvantage of other. But that's all they are - advantages and disadvantages as per sync with one's deeper ideas. Having an idea and working to fulfill it - that's the main boundation.
Not saying boundation is bad either. One can see it in oneself. To do something is ok, to not do anything is also ok. Freedom is only my personal preference.
There are no character flaws. Just people believing in certain ideas. There are no objective references. Different situations, mixed with different ideas and beliefs, cause different action from people. So everything is temporary and situational. It's not a characteristic of person. Person himself is fundamentally pure. Similarly it's with greatness. Nobody is great in himself, he simply has different ideas.
Most of our judgements are comparisonal. "I did better than him so it's good, I did worse than him so it's bad." All the 'should's, all the goods and bads told to us by society or religion are always contextual. Good FOR something, bad FOR something. Social goods are good for society. Religious goods and bad are for getting heaven or hell. Not good and bad fundamentally. There is no good and bad fundamentally.
Everybody has same I. Not similar, same. There is only one I and everybody has it only. It is this one I that is watching whole Indra's Net (Indrjaal). Different frame of reference and vision at each mirror (thus different person) but same I.
There are longer and shorter ideas. Body is one of the longer ideas.
Ideas cannot continue without faith in them. That's why some religions call for faith to get heaven. Faith in idea of heaven makes heaven reality. We can see its example in dreams. How dreams create worlds out of ideas and make you inhabit them. But one cannot have faith in an idea after realizing its falsity. Falsity in the sense that even if you inhabit heaven you cannot change the fundamentals of life and death. Heaven will also vanish one day. That's why Indr was always fearful of losing heaven. One can see it in one's life. Good times come, then go. They were real while they were there but when one looks at bigger picture one realize their falsity in the sense of temporariness. There is a randomness in afterlife world that's why no prophet could exactly predict who will get heaven and who not. I think it's similar to dream. One can't predict what dream is gonna come but one can in general say that person of particular mindset gets particular type of dreams.
Certain ideas create dream world, then within dream world we live and create according to certain ideas. I am same in both dream world and waking world, only the world surrounding me is different, including excess and lack of certain emotions which then motivate my actions as per surrounding world's situation. So emotions are also part of surrounding since they are changing between dream and waking world. Only "I" is constant and unchanging in both.
There is no such thing as achievement. I used to believe in achievement, I used to think enlightenment is an achievement. But now I don't think so. Enlightenment is already there, already situated in us. So are all wisdoms. I may become aware of it or not but it's already there. Even my becoming aware of it doesn't really change anything. Only I will get peace. But whether I am at peace or not doesn't change my fundamental nature.
We are standing on shoulders of our ancestors. This body, all its sensation, its pains and pleasures, are result of activities of our ancestors.
Idea continues only when one believes that the idea is worthwhile, that one is achieving something if he pursues the idea. Society asks us to pursue certain ideas, parents ask us to pursue some. But upon closer scrutiny no idea proves worthwhile, no achievement worth achieving.
