What all these great attained souls like Raikva, Ashtavakra, or the Sage Vashsihta speak is about the path of return journey of the languishing soul. The earthlings, as we are, have taken an elemental body. The embodiment of the soul is the main issue here. The jiva starts its journey on this planet earth due to the chaitanya or prana that can be explained in physical, chemical, biological and even mathematical (digital) terms. Everything is energy, force, vibration and waves. It is totally sublime, subtler and the most difficult to detect with a digital value of 0.1 raised to the power of -30? From this totally abstract state of total silence (mahattanta shanta) all that we see have taken a gross state of concrete form in solid, liquid and gas. It this aspect that one has to understand carefully.
The earliest unmanifest state is brahmn. There is no vibration, sound or waves here. The all-pervasive energy is yet to manifest and radiate in this primordial state. The Star is not yet born! The moment a star is born, may be a star like our Sun made of Hydrogen, half its energy is already lost. Then the radiant energy moves in all directions, rather, create directions, time and space. this is what the Veda says. Suryopanishat gives a beautiful account of this; so also, Mahanarayanopanishat and Narayana upanishat. Everything is manifest form of this latent energy. sarvam narayanat jayate.
Thus, one can clearly understand how our prana, prajnya, atma manifests from narayana. all that is seen is, thus, the concrete form of the Absolute, Abstract, and the Infinite!
Whoever realizes the fact that "Essentially, it is the abstract spiritual entity that takes a form and function, appears for some time, and disappears is the 'Truth'. This is the realization of the truth.
Hence when Ashtavakra or Avadhuta says, "You are not even born, where is the question of death?" little do we understand that an ionic, micron or sub-atomic particle (Atman) vibrates and creates an impression of this objective phenomenal world. It seems absurd to all those who cannot understand what is meant by life and death in this subtler, almost-non-existential state of the Absolute! People may call the saint, a realized soul mad fellow since he talks incoherently, in abstract terms what cannot be expressed in concrete terms. Those who have realized this truth will not speak and become munis, silent sages. As long as one talks, writes, and tries to express the absolute in concrete terms he/she is in a state of disillusionment. The moment knowledge dawns he/she become totally silent!
