REALIZING NON–DUAL LIBERATION, ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY – PT 155
[The Teaching of Non-Duality has been adapted from Master Nome, disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi.]
The deeper the experience, the more transcendent of notions it is and the more nondual it is. An unqualified dualistic view asserts that the Absolute is one thing and oneself another. There is a God, by whatever name called, and there is a separate soul, by whatever name called, and these are regarded as different in every respect. Though there may be similarities, such as both lasting forever, they are regarded as different as two distinct objects, as different as an elephant and a king, as in the Puranic story of the sage, Ribhu, and his disciple, Nidagha. With such an approach, one practices to establish some relation to the Supreme, the Lord, but there is no union or merger. Even in a heavenly realm, the distinction still persists.
