Three states of existence-2
Un-conditioned Consciousness
What we fail to recognize in all these three
states of existence is the unconditioned Pure Consciousness. We fail to recognize it
because it just illuminates these states of existence but is not
involved in any of these actions or events. How is it possible?. How
can something be the cause and yet not be involved in it?. This will
be explained in next page with a beautiful analogy.
The readers also might have question about the
unconditioned consciousness. Is not consciousness the phenomenon of
the brain?. No. Unfortunately we have been trained to think in
that manner. That is not the reality. This error is like the old
error of thinking that the Sun revolves around the earth. Just
because our eyes sees the Sun moving, and Earth Stationary, it is
hard to understand (believe) that in-fact the Earth is moving.
This is the
Scientific blunder that everyone is taking it our granted. Ancient
Indian Spiritual masters have understood this mystery of the whole
universe. Greater is the mystery to know that all events happen in
the light of Unconditioned Consciousness, but it is not involved in
any events. Let us repeat the statement.
Unconditioned Consciousness is the one behind the cause of all causes
and events, however it is not involved in any of the events. What a
stupid concept! Indeed!. But this mystery will be solved with a
beautiful example given in the next page.
All
the confusion arises because of the mis-use and abuse of the terms
Consciousness and Awareness. Neuro-biologists
and other brain-researching Scientists interchange the use of these
two words. The conditioned Consciousness should
be distinctly known as "Awareness", to avoid confusion in
terminology with the pure "Unconditioned Consciousness".
What is Awareness?
Awareness is the
conditioned consciousness which comes into action when the different
regions of the brain interacts with the sensory signals it receives
through the nervous system that is connected to the other organs of
the body. However, without the Unconditioned Pure Consciousness, the
whole body cannot exist because it is the source of the awareness
(conditioned consciousness). And yet,
this Unconditioned Consciousness is not in the brain or any
particular location in the universe. It is every where and there is no region where it is not
present. Both the individuals who accepts it and denies
it are in-fact the very manifestation of that un-conditioned
consciousness.
The Unconditioned Consciousness is known
as "Brahman" in Sanskrit. Other names are Atman,
impersonal-God, formless-God or Soul.
This Truth is hard
to understand and that is why several examples and explanations are
given. Here is a very simple and logical explanation which will
elucidate clearly this mystery. Please continue to read.
