Enlightenment is a slow process of getting rid of darkness of
the illusions, layer after layer. A seeker, at first, has to get
rid of Maya Chakkar [trap or layer of illusion]. Maya Chakkar is
the realm of dualities, where we see wolf and sheep as two
distinct forms. Maya Chakkar is where we build sand-wolves and
sand-sheep. Then comes the Atma Chakkar; where we realize that
realm of form or Roop is just an illusion. Wolf and Sheep are
nothing but an expression of Sand. And in fact, all forms are
just an expression of the same one Energy, Will, and
Consciousness [Intelligence]. But this level of realization is
still another trap, another layer of illusion. We have to get
rid of it too. Next comes the Perm-atma Chakkar. Where we see
that behind all attributes of Energy, Will, and
Consciousness—there is only one Atman or Self. Now we don’t
honor values and attributes but the Supreme Self that owns these
all sublimities. But this too is a layer of illusion and
bondage. In fact, we can see the supreme Self only through the
spectacles of our own ego-self. All it is just a spiritual
drama, authored by our own illusory self. The whole structure of
illusion or maya is seen only by ego within the mirror-hood of
its own existence. We cannot reach to Truth, unless we are free
of our own self. Beauty of it is, that when we are free of our
ego-self we are free of all perceptions of Self also. Now there
are no more Chakkar. There is only centrality of Al-Haq [The
Truth]. This Truth names ItSelf as I-AM. I-AM is not a Self, not
a religion, not a philosophy, not a mysticism—it is end of man
and God both; end of universe, time and space, and end of all
attainment itself. I-AM is the Truth that rules over all
eternity. It is the unaltered pure Truth. It is the Truth that
is never seen by any man—it is always seen only by ItSelf.

Beingness is just foreground appearance that appears only in the
presence of Nothingness as background. Rubin's Vase: developed
by Edgar Rubin in 1915, the Rubin's Vase illusion is one of the
most famous optical illusions in the world. The image depicts
what can be perceived as either an ornamental vase or two faces
in side-profile facing one another.
The key to this illusion is explained through the principle of
figure-ground organization. This is what allows us to perceive
objects as both figures and backgrounds. In the Rubin's Vase
illusion, however, the figure is altered with a shift of
perspective.

When viewing the black area as the background, the vase becomes
the figure. In turn, when viewing the white area as the
background, the faces become the figure. It teaches us that how
can we alter the Background by shifting our perspective or
focus. It is our choice; whether we take darkness or light as
background. This choice enables us to live either in illusion or
pure Truth. When we chose light, it comes forth and darkness
recedes and when we chose darkness light recedes and darkness
comes forth. What comes forth that controls our lives.

Ah! Everything has gone, everything has left me. Except an
impersonal awareness in which my person is happening, and my
death too will happen in it. After death, when there will be no
content, this impersonal awareness will become infinite. In
fact, it was never finite, only the content was making it
finite. This my concept of Infinity also is happening in the
finite. True Infinity is always 'unknown known' or 'known
unknown'.
