The Choice is Always Yours

Question 1
AT THE DWARKA MEDITATION CAMP YOU MENTIONED THAT ALL SADHANAS, ALL SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES ARE FALSE, BECAUSE WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SEPARATE FROM GOD.
DOES THAT MEAN THE STATE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS IS FALSE? IS THE GROWTH OF BODY AND MIND FALSE? IS THE CESSATION OF CONDITIONING FALSE? IS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF MOVING FROM THE GROSS TO THE SUBTLE FALSE? IS ALL THE PREPARATION FOR THE JOURNEY FROM THE FIRST BODY TO THE SEVENTH BODY FALSE? IS THE LONG PROCESS OF THE DISCIPLINE OF KUNDALINI ALL A SHAM? KINDLY EXPLAIN.
First of all, when I refer to something as false, as untruth, it does not mean it is nonexistent.
Even a falsehood has its own existence.
One could not call it a falsehood if that were not true.
A falsehood has its own existence and so does a dream.
When we say a dream is false, it does not mean a dream has no existence.
It only means that the existence of a dream is psychological, not real.
It is a whim of the mind, not a fact.
When we say the world is maya, illusion, it does not mean the world is nonexistent, because if the world does not exist then whom are you addressing? Who is talking? Why? When one calls this world an illusion, he at least assumes that the speaker exists and so does the listener.
He also assumes that somebody needs to explain, and someone needs to understand.
