People are deluded by illusion because they are immersed in the illusion, experiencing it as reality. +

The universe and all it contains, along with the people and their individual experiences of birth, life, and death, are reality within the waking experience. But from the ultimate standpoint, the waking experience is merely an illusion.

People are deluded by illusion because they are immersed in the illusion, experiencing it as reality. They are ignorant because they think the Self is physical and birth, life, death, and world as reality.

Having lost all discrimination, they follow the way of their physical nature. When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom, then only it is possible to negate the illusion; the mortal becomes immortal. When all the physical shackles that strangle the Self are loosened, the mortal becomes immortal, here in this very life.

The ultimate understanding is that nothing has actually been created. All that appears as the universe is merely an illusion. The cause of the universe is the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Everything is consciousness and nothing can be a part of it. No second thing exists other than consciousness, neither the man nor the world, which contains all the objects that exist in non-dual reality.

Consciousness is the witness 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.

Remember:~

Until we rectify our reasoning base from form (universe) to formless (Soul), it becomes difficult to assimilate Self-knowledge. It takes some time to sink in. There is no need to even discuss it in length if one goes on reading my blogs.

One will find answers for all his doubts and confusions. As his conviction becomes stronger by becoming aware that the Self is not the form but the Self is formless, his reasoning base also will be rectified mentally from form base to formless base.

There is no use in taking the strain to understand and assimilate the conceptual divisions invented by teachers of philosophy through their excessive analysis.

There are more and more doubts and confusions if one tries to understand and assimilate the ultimate truth through scriptures.

Why follow the path of doubts and confusion by losing oneself in the labyrinths of philosophy when one can realize the ultimate truth without them?

By mentally tracing the source of the mind from where it rises and subsides, one becomes aware of the fallacy of the mind, which rises as waking or dreaming and subsides as deep sleep.

The mind arises from consciousness and subsides as consciousness. Therefore, there is a need for perfect understanding and assimilation of the nondual truth.

There is no need to renounce the worldly life to get Self-Realization. Any householder can attain it if he has the inner urge and sharpness to grasp it.

The mind is present in the form of the universe. Only when the mind [I] is present, then only the universe is present.

The ego, body, and universe appear together and disappear to gather. Limiting the mind [I] to the physical entity is the cause of ignorance.

The body, ego, and universe cease to exist without the mind. If one of these is absent, then the mind is also absent.

The mind is the whole universe, which appears as waking or dream[duality] and disappears as deep sleep[nonduality]

One that is aware of the appearance and disappearance of dual and nondual experiences is not the form[body or ego] but formless[consciousness].

The Soul is the Self. The Soul, the Self, is present in the form of Consciousness. The Soul, the Self, is the source of the three states.

The illusory reality of three states deceives; the people fail to look beyond them to its source.

The Soul, the Self, is real, supreme, and imperishable. The three states are merely an illusion. It is difficult to overcome the illusion without Advaitic wisdom.

One can cross over this illusion by realizing and becoming aware of the Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the universe, which appears waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep(nonduality)

People are deluded by illusion because they are immersed in the illusion, experiencing it as reality. They are ignorant because they think the self is physical and birth, life, death, and world as reality.

Having lost all discrimination, they follow the way of their physical nature. When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom, then only it is possible to negate the illusion; the mortal becomes immortal.

When all the physical shackles that strangle the Soul, the Self are loosened, the mortal becomes immortal, here in this very life.

The ultimate understanding is that nothing has actually been created. All that appears is merely an illusion.

Everything is consciousness, and nothing can be a part of it. No second thing exists other than consciousness, neither the man nor the world, which contains all the objects that exist in non-dual reality.

The duality means the mind, which is in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream. Man and universe co-exist together within the waking or dream.

When one analyzes deeply, then one becomes aware of the fact that neither the waking entity nor the dream entity is not the Soul, the Self. But the Soul, the Self, is without these three states. That means the Self is formless and apart from these three states.

None of these three states can exit by itself alone, without this invisible Soul, the Self, which is hidden by the three states but is apart from these three states.

It is hidden by the three states because it is the invisible substance and witness of these three states.

It is apart because it is not an entity or identity within the waking or dream.

The three states are impermanent in their nature, but the Self is an invisible substance, and the witness of the three states is permanent and eternal.

The invisible Soul, the Self, can exist with or without the three states. In deep sleep, it exists without the waking or dream experience.

It is empty of duality. Thus, the emptiness is the nondual nature of the Soul, the Self, which is in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is aware of these three st

ates, which appear as waking or dreaming and disappear as the invisible Soul in deep sleep. By becoming aware of the existence of the invisible Soul, the Self mentally one becomes aware of that; the three states are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Thus, the three states are mere mirage that has to be transcended by tracing the formless substance and witness of the three states, which is in the form of consciousness.

Once one gets the firm conviction that the consciousness is the true Self, then Advaitic wisdom dawns, and through wisdom, one becomes fully aware of the universe, which is in the form of mind and Soul, the Self, which is in the form of consciousness, are one in essence.

The mind [universe] becomes one with the Soul [consciousness]. Thus, no second thing exists other than consciousness.

Consciousness alone exists as ultimate truth; the universe or mind is mere mirage created out of consciousness. :~Santthosh Kumaar
