All fear human attributes like fear, love, and hate are a reality within the illusory universe or Maya.+

The fear of death is deep-rooted in everyone and fear of death may probably be the motive force for the early search into the mystery of the physical existence or universe.

The religious ideas of hell and haven as worlds where everyone goes after death cannot be considered as reality, because deeper inquiry reveals the fact that, the self is not physical.

Thus the religious idea of God, heaven, hell, sins, karma rebirth will hold no water on the standpoint of the self, which is without the form.

Speculating and assuming the existence of the conceptual god, heaven, hell, karma, rebirth, and theorizing it on the base of the physical self or ego is erroneous because the Self is not the form but the Self is formless. 

Remember:~

The fear of the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. In the same way, the fear of the waking experience becomes unreal when you realize the Self is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul.

All fear human attributes like fear, love, and hate are a reality within the illusory universe or Maya. The universe in which he exists is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, all our experiences of practical life within the practical world are bound to be an illusion.

A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that the world in which he exists, is a passing show. The witness of the passing show is the Soul; the innermost self is real and eternal. A Gnani vision is based on the Soul, not on his body.

In Self-awareness, the body is not the body, but it is the consciousness, the ego is not the ego, but it is consciousness, the world is not the world, but it is consciousness even though they exist, but their unreal nature is exposed.

Just as the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place, the waking also becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Gnani and the Illusion: ~

A King who was greatly incensed at the wisdom taught by Gnani that everything here below is an illusion. He wanted to teach the exponent of this doctrine a lesson. So he invited the then Gnani to his palace.

That Gnani went there and stoutly maintained that everything in this world is an illusion.

The king had arranged to let loose a hungry lion against Gnani. The beast rushed at Gnani who took to a precipitate flight to save himself.

'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast seeing that the lion is only an illusion?'

'Oh, king,' said Gnani in the course of his flight, 'my running too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.’

Similarly, we all are searching for truth within the illusion not being aware of the fact that the illusion is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, searching the truth in illusion with the illusory Self, within the illusory experience, has to be an illusion. The illusion is created and sustained, and finally, dissolves as the Soul or the consciousness.

There is no second thing other than consciousness. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

The wisdom dawns in the midst of duality (falsehood or waking). When wisdom dawns the universe (waking) will not disappear, but its unreal nature is exposed. And one realizes the unity in diversity in consciousness because consciousness pervades in everything and everywhere in the universe. Thus everything is consciousness.

Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is God. Thus, God is the whole, not part.

To get Self-realization or God-realization, the seeker has to drop all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
