Pain and pleasure belong to you. You belong to the illusory universe. Pain and pleasure are nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the illusory universe.+

Pain and pleasure belong to you. You belong to the illusory universe. Pain and pleasure are nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the illusory universe.

The whole universe is created out of single clay and that single clay is consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC- "All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Sage Sankara says: ~ What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead to the final Goal. (Commentary on Vedanta Sutra).

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and waking experience, which is present in the form of the universe, is unreal. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Brahman is undifferentiated consciousness, devoid of parts, attributes, form, changes, or limitations whatsoever.

The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is ‘Self’-luminous and all-pervading and one only, without a second.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is the fullness of the consciousness. In reality, it is ever-free. Within the dualistic illusion, the Soul is caught up in the prison of experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. the dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance.

Consciousness is existence absolute, awareness absolute. Existence absolute means that consciousness is not unreal or non-existent. And it is not the unconsciousness. Nothing positive can be stated about consciousness.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is the One without a second. There is not the least shadow of multiplicity in the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
