The one who says he is already enlightened is ignorant. The person who says I am enlightened is unaware of the fact that the Self is not he, because he and his experience of the world, is the product of ignorance. Only ignorant says he is already enlightened. Without the Advaitic wisdom, ignorance will not vanish.
Only the fraud will promise enlightenment. What is the use of you getting enlightened because you are the false self within the dualistic illusion or Maya?
When the Soul, the Self, wakes up from the sleep of ignorance then the unreal nature of the world in which you exist is exposed, the same way as the unreal nature of the dream exposed, when waking takes place.
In reality, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The one that is in ignorance and the one that has to wake up to the reality is not you but the Soul, which is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Remember:~
The one which says ‘I am enlightened’ itself is the ego. The one which feels it is he or she is also the ego.
The ego is the false Self (you or waking entity) within the false experience (waking).
The ego, body, and the world appear together and disappear together.
It is foolish to venture to try to destroy the ego because the ego is the very basis of the physical existence (universe in, which we exist).
People say I AM THAT ~ I am God, I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman remains, not I, it is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time, and space whereas the Soul, the innermost Self is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
It is erroneous to identify the Soul the Self as the 'I' or 'I AM' because the Soul the Self is not 'I' or I AM’. The Soul the innermost Self, is that witnesses the coming and going, of the 'I'.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ disappears as deep sleep, so what is the use of being attached to it? It is impermanent and illusory because ‘I’ is physical awareness. Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. ‘I-less awareness is Self-awareness.
To understand the false nature of the ‘I’, the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary.
The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul which is the witness of the ‘I’. Holding the ‘I as the Self leads to hallucination based on the imagination.:~Santthosh Kumaar
