TRUTH REVEALED - SLOKA 3

Sloka 3

Truth  Revealed “The world is real”. “No, it is a mere illusory appearance”. “The world is conscious”. “No”. “The world is happiness”. “No.” Thus to speak, of what avail is it? That State is agreeable to all, wherein one, having given up the objective outlook, knows his Self and loses all notions  of unity and duality, all oneself and the ego.

The Forty on Existence What use is it discussing if this world Be  real or unreal, plearure-ground or not, A concept of the mind or otherwise? Transcending it and realizing Self, Freed from diversity and unity, And killing ego, reach the common goal.

Revelation Of what use is it to affirm “The world is real”, “It is an illusory appearance”, “It is endued with Consciousnes”, “It is inert”,”It is happy”, “It is surely miserable” ? That state of egolessness, transcending the creeds of duality and unity, which is our own by nature,  and which is to be won by turning away from the world and experiening the Real Self, is dear to all alike.

SYNOPSIS : Since the one aim is to realise the Self by destroying the ego, to engage oneself  in verbal wrangling  about the nature of the world is but vain.
