The Disappearance of the Universe - Paperback

by Andras M. Nagy (Author)

Obtaining freedom from the never-ending cycle of karma and transmigration is the ultimate objective of the practice of self-inquiry. To remove the layers of illusion that distort our view of the world, we can exclude the possibility of coarse items being candidates for ultimate reality and instead consider subtle objects to be candidates. Because of this process, we can look past the obstacles that lead us to feel fear and want. This process eliminates the sense of isolation that we have between ourselves and the world. The practice of Jnana Yoga, also known as the path of knowledge, offers a structure for introspection that is founded on the concept of non-duality. It inspires us to examine both the nature of our own existence and the assumptions and ideas that we have, and it motivates us to question those things. By participating in this sort of questioning, we may start to unravel the complex web of suffering that has trapped us for such a significant amount of time.
