The Avyakta

The Avyakta

Q) Can the Avyakta be expressed?

    Ans.) In reality, no. For one simple reason - any expression will limit and will be a part of manifested cosmos rather the Avyakta.

Q) What prevents one from entering Avyakta?

    Ans.) It is the identification with the Identity of an existential entity which is a part of the manifested cosmos that prevents one from entering into Avyakta?

Q) Is Avyakta a state and can it be entered?

    Ans.) Avyakta is not a state, it is beyond all states and all states can exist within it. It is the whole existence itself that is inexpressible, and the manifested cosmos what we see or perceive or not perceive is only an infinetismally small fraction of the Avyakta.

    Avaykta is not a state that can be entered. It is an inexpressible space of eternal Nothingness, where an experience may or may not exist without the existence of an experiencer. 

    Every experience that is experienced in the manifested cosmos is based upon an Identity and the identification with that Identity of an existential entity and all these get experienced where there is a presence of mind. In the Avyakta, as the mind does not exist because of the absence of identification with any Identity, the experiencer cannot exist.

    It is that "existential entity" which overcomes the Trigunas by losing its identification with its "Identity" which can become aware of its eternal existence within the Avyakta. It is not a knowing, it is becoming aware of the eternal existence of every Identity without the identification and the experiencer.

Q) And if a question arises - is there an experience?

    Ans.) There is no experience. It is an awareness that becomes aware of existential Eternal Awareness in the ever Existential Eternal Nothingness. It is like a mirror seeing itself. 

The purpose of a mirror is to reflect whatever is present in front of it. When a mirror sees itself, then what appears is infinite reflections. Infinite reflections happen when there is a form or a thought. When there is no form or a thought then the mirror is in itself. The mirror is only a reflection. So we all are only reflections of the whole. We don't really exist. It is the identification with the reflection which is making us to think that we exist. 

Q) Can a reflection think? 

The thought process of the reflection is actually that of the object in front of it. We are an infinetismally small fraction of a reflection of that Absolute which is undergoing myriad experiences. It is the identification with the thought or the wave or the reflection which is making us to undergo these myriad experiences. When the identification ceases, there is no thought, no wave or no reflection. Then everything is in itself. The Truth is that the thought, or the wave or the reflection - all these are happening within the Absolute itself. This is what is called as in the Upanishads:

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते ।

पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

oṃ pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ pūrṇātpūrṇamudacyate ।
pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate ॥
oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ ॥
