Qn: J. Krishnamurti said that there is life only and all talk of personalities and individualities has no foundation in reality. Is 'I am' an illusion like 'I was' or 'I shall be'?
Ans: Present 'I am' is as false as 'I was' or 'I shall be'. You need not chase 'I am' to kill it.
All you need is sincere longing for reality, Atma-Bhakti (love of Supreme) or Moksha-Sankalpa.
The union of Seer and Seen happens when the Seer becomes conscious of himself as the Seer.
Qn: According to theosophy, man consists of 3 aspects- personality, individuality and spirituality.
Does Vyakti, Vyakta and Avyakta (Observer, Observed and ground of Observation) tally with that view.
Ans: Outer-self (Vyakti) is a projection on the body, mind of the inner Self- Vyakta, which again is an expression of Supreme Self-Avyakta
Qn: Neither Buddha nor Christ ever mentioned a higher self. J. Krishnamurthy too fights shy of mention of higher self.
Ans: How can there be two selves in a body. Awareness comes from the Supreme and pervades the inner self.
One may be conscious but not aware. What is included in awareness becomes the inner.
Body defines outer self, consciousness the inner and in pure awareness, Supreme is contacted.
Qn: I see you smoking.
Ans: Exactly so. Your 'I am the body' state of mind is responsible for this- 'I see you smoking' idea.
In the Supreme, the witness appears and thinks it is separate. Realization of basic unity is the working of the Supreme, the power behind the witness, the source from which all flows.
The Supreme is both the source and fruit of such harmony. I am in Turiya awareness. When this awareness turns upon itself, it is Turiyatita.
