The dissolution of the ego alone is not the step to the realization of truth hidden by ignorance.

The ego, body, and the world appear together and they disappear together. The ego, body, and the world appear together as ‘I’.

Without ‘I’ there is no ego, no physical body, and no world. ‘I’ is not limited to the physical entity but ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe.

The universe appears as waking or dream (duality (I)) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality (I-LESS-Soul)).

The one which appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep(nonduality) is the Soul which is in the form of consciousness.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is the witness of the three states (witnessed). The witness and the witnessed (three states) are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Only getting rid of ignorance through wisdom is the only way, which leads to Advaitic Self-Awareness in the midst of duality.

Till you think you are an individual separate from the world and world that existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward the ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the ‘I’ prevails as reality.

If the ‘I’ prevails as reality then the world in which you exist prevails as a reality. If the world in which you exist as a reality then the dualistic illusion is experienced as a reality.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ helps you to overcome ignorance (I). Until ‘I’ is there the ignorance is there. Until ignorance is there you will not be able to unfold the mystery hidden by the ‘I’.:~Santthosh Kumaar
