On the spiritual path, the seeker must have an intense urge to realize the truth. All accumulated knowledge, accumulated from here and there leads the seeker away from realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The seeker has to have a rational outlook to realize the ultimate truth, which is hidden by ignorance form, time, and space.
The Soul, the ‘Self’ is God. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness itself is God. God is not within you but the universe in which you exist is within God in truth. The universe in which you exist is created out of God, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, all those Gods people believe and all those Gods you worship are manmade Gods because in reality God alone is real and the universe in which we exist is merely an illusion.
People talk of making the mind free, without knowing what this mind in actuality is. The mind itself is the illusory cage to the Soul, the Self.
It is necessary to realize what this mind is first, in order to free the Soul from the illusory cage of form, time, and space.
The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
The mind will not die because the mind is merely an illusion. When wisdom dawns the unreal nature of the mind is exposed. Same way as the unreal nature of the dream was exposed when waking takes place.
Till you think you are an individual separate from this world you will remain in the realm of dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then ignorance vanishes. When ignorance vanishes, then the duality never remains as a reality.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world, in which we all exist is merely an illusion from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self.
Rest in consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. The Soul is the fullness of consciousness without division of form, time, and space. Consciousness alone is real and eternal all else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
