If the present life itself is an illusion the future life is bound to be an illusion.+

If the present life itself is an illusion the future life is bound to be an illusion. A person belongs to the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

A person is born, lives, and dies within the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

A person is the birth entity. The one, who is born, lives dies in this world is not the ‘Self’, because the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is birthless and deathless.

The Self is not a person but the Self is the Soul, therefore, the individual experience of birth, life, and death and the world have nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is birthless deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

On the dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is reality whereas, on the non-dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion.

The orthodoxy accepts the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality, whereas Sage Sankara declares the world is unreal Brahman alone is real.

The experience of birth, life, and death happening within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion.

The illusion has no value from the Advaitic perspective. so the Soul alone is real and eternal.

Remember:~

Meditation always means the critical analysis of the Self to get rid of ignorance.

For meditation, one need not sit and chant God's name or concentrate on some object. Anything you do will not be a meditation. If there is a doer then it is not meditation.

As long as there is doing, there is ignorance. As long as the doer is present, the ego is present. If the ego is present the whole world is present.

If the world is present the duality is present. If the duality is present then there is an illusion. If the illusion is present the birth, life, death, and the world are experienced as reality.

By realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to self-awareness.

In Self-awareness, the Soul, the Self, remains in its own awareness in the midst of form, time, and space.

Self-awareness is real meditation. Mediation is the nature of the Soul, the Self. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
