Sage Sankara says that Brahman and Atman are one. The ultimate and the absolute truth is the Self, which is one, though appearing as many different individuals. The individual has no reality. Only the Self is real; the rest, mental and physical, are but passing appearances.
The whole universe is nothing but the Soul. Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the only reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, and from which everything has emerged, is the cause of everything, and is everything.
There is a need to realize the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.
Remember:~
You are aware of yourself and the world in which you exist only through the Soul, the Self.
The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of the Soul is nondualistic awareness.
You are the birth entity. You are born in this world in the past, living in this world in the present, and going to die in this world in the future.
The world in which you exist appears as a waking experience (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
When you realize the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul then the experience of birth, life, death, and the world, which appeared as waking becomes unreal in the same way as the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place.
Whatever you experience as an individual you are experiencing within the domino of form, time, and space.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion. if the world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion then your experience of birth, life, and death and the world is bound to be an illusion.
The Soul, the Self, is present in the form of consciousness and is the cause of the dualistic illusion that is real and eternal.
The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
One knows everything within the waking experience is consciousness because the waking experience itself is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
The physical apparatus is absent in deep sleep so one cannot know anything by intuition because there is no duality in deep sleep. This proves that the duality is present only in waking or dream. And also it proves that if there is such a faculty as intuition it must be limited to the physical Self within the physical existence. :~Santthosh Kumaar
