What is Non-Duality?

- Prashant Trivedi


    To understand non-duality and how it operates
    in our lives we must first think back to a
    state before this physical universe came into
    being. 

    One has to understand that there are many universe's
    and this physical one is just one of them. 

    Only the 'Creator' or in Vedic terminology, the
    'Paramatman,' exists in that timeless state.

    We can not refer to Paramatman as a male or
    female, because it is without gender.

    Being beyond time and space, and Paramatman
    is also beyond nature and it's qualities.

    Before this universe began, there were no contradictions,
    as all were humble to the original divine spark. 

    There were various lokas/creations/realms of existence 
    but no pain or suffering.

    Then came an error, which was basically 
    'a being' going against the will of the 
    real creator and decided to become
    creator itself.

    In this fraudulent universe 
    created by this false creator
    known by many names Rex Mundi, Jehovah etc.
    who now proclaimed itself as god 
    we experience this duality as
    pleasure and pain, pessimism and optimism,
    life and death, and so on. 

    This universe (loka) is based on perversion of the original
    blueprints of other universe's.  

    There is only one way to incorporate
    original non-duality in our daily lives
    in this fraud world.

    We must surrender our ego, i-ness to
    the original divine spark.

    This allows us to free ourself from
    the false web 'maya' of this fake world.   

    This is not always an easy task, because the
    illusionary power of this false creation, or the Web of
    Maya, is very strongly programmed into all the
    beings caught here.

    Like an insect, once caught in this web, we
    are more often than not allowed to pass
    through.

    If anyone tells you that just by going deeper within
    your 'Self' you can break free from this
    prison, than they are lying. 
    
    All this newagey 'God is within you' is 
    ego-enhancing nonsense which was meant to
    keep beings trapped in this realm
    of pain & torture.

    Thats why Krishna asks Arjun in
    Gita to not pay attention to his own
    self but surrender his self to him.

    Attention is the only device one has
    in this universe which is beyond the evil
    programming. 

    This device should never
    be used to peer inside one's own self because all
    one will find there is one's own genetics &
    ancestors & all of the combined programming
    which will make one more confused &  trapped.

    The only way out is a sincere seeking of divine
    through using one's pure attention
    and surrendering of the ego
    to the 'paramatman'. 

    Only when this is done, one realizes the true
    principle of Non-duality as one becomes
    whole again through connectivity with the Original 
    divine spark.
