Self-realization is possible only when you realize you are not the ‘Self’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul.+

You have nothing to do with the Self. Self-realization is possible only when you realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the Soul.

Until you think the Self is within you, you will never be able to realize what ‘Self’ is in actuality.

Those Gurus who preached that the ‘Self’ is within you propagated only half-baked knowledge. The ‘Self’ is the invisible Soul hidden by the illusory world in which you exist.

The Soul, the Self, is not an entity or identity within the world in which you exist. The Soul, the Self, pervades the whole world in which you exist.

The Soul, the Self, is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it, itself, is uncaused. The Soul, the Self, is present in the form of consciousness.

Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-realization.

Remember:~

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (9) - There the stainless and indivisible Brahman shines in the highest, golden sheath. It is pure; it is the Light of lights; it is that which they know who knows the Self.

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10) - The sun does not shine there, nor the moon and the stars, nor this lightning, not to speak of this fire. When the ‘the Soul, the Self’ shines, everything shines after Soul; by its light, everything is lighted.

The Soul, the Self, appears as the universe in the waking, and the universe disappears as the invisible Soul in deep sleep. The Soul is the universe, and the universe is the Soul.

The universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Illusion and reality are nothing but consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.

When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then this world in which you exist, which you think as reality, becomes unreal.

The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. That means the dream entity, people within the dream and the dream world becomes unreal. In the same way, the waking experience becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Advaitic Wisdom dawns when you realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

A person who stamped his foot on the ground to refute to show the world, is real, ignore that in the dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (11) - That immortal Brahman (Athma) alone is before, that Brahman is behind, that Brahman is to the right and left. Brahman alone pervades everything above and below; this universe is that Supreme Brahman alone. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
