An effort in creative undoing of the false indivi-dualistic self in order to get established as the true non-dualistic Self which is Satyam-Gnanam-Anantam Brahma(n). This is Moksha, Enlightenment or Self-Realization.
This world is a hospital. Living beings here, are the patients. Ignorance, which is jiva bhava, is the disease. Fear, anger, desire etc are the symptoms. World will always be like this. Don’t waste your time in setting right anything or anyone. Just cure yourself by fully giving up jiva bhava and get discharged, which is moksha. If you want to give a message to the world, just repeat the above 🙂.
PS: Jiva bhava= The enormous momentum to locate yourself within the body and to consider yourself as a limited, conscious entity, by being completely blind to your real swarupa or nature which is Pure Existence-Consciousness-Bliss not bound by any thought.

Nice post.Beautiful Analogy.But we don’t feel like that.What to do? We are happy with the disease and hope that one day it will be cured .From the words of Charles Baudelaire, Paris Spleen fee
This life is a hospital in which each patient is possessed by the desire to change beds. One wants to suffer in front of the stove and another believes that he will get well near the window.
It always seems to me that I will be better off there where I am not, and this question of moving about is one that I discuss endlessly with my soul
Also if individuality is an illusion why should someone teach someone else?
The very act of teaching itself has the assumption that there are other unrealised individuals.
Sometimes the children or ignorant are seen to have illusory fears and others around might educate them. It is like that ! The one who is free also has same experience of individuality but knows the Truth about it. For the ignorant, the body and mind is an identity but for the one who is free, body/mind is only a center of perception but not an identity.
Please dont ask academic questions. We see sky as blue but we know the truth. We see mirage but know the truth and so on. I want to answer only for serious seekers of moksha otherwise you can endlessly discuss with no final conclusion.
I am asking these questions because somewhere I feel I understand both intellectually and experientially that the individual self is unreal, but I don’t understand how one can stay in the states of Padartha Abhavana and Turiya, while they are functioning in the world. In my opinion (not from any personal experience), if someone is in the states of these two they might not even see themselves as separate individuals.https://mokshaclub.wordpress.com/2014/10/31/sapthabhoomika-or-seven-stages-of-self-realization/
Yes. As you advance, the actual world experience will be dreamlike. Still, they can teach when someone asks questions. In sleep, you lose your individuality every day but get it back on waking. This is enough proof of its unreality. As you start actually seeking your own Truth, you will understand. Imagining it from your current state will not help.
It is thought which gives reality to everything. So the degree of detachment from thought is one’s spiritual progress. Hence it is logical that thought cannot imagine spiritual progress.

Thanks. Some hospitals are better furnished than home ! You need to move away from ignorance and not within it !.

How can the one who is free, still has the experience of individuality? Isn’t this a contradiction?

Thought or mind cannot know spiritual progress because pure intelligence only takes us to spiritual progress.

Pure Intelligence is the Self. Spiritual progress is detaching from thought and yielding to Pure Intelligence.
