“Soul ,the innermost Self” is neither five elements, nor any of the organs
individually, nor all the elements or organs together as a whole. The body and
universe exists within the waking or dream. Thus the body and the universe are
limited to the waking or dream. The self
is within the universe, which appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep
sleep. It is within the waking or dream as their formless substance and it is
without the waking or dream as their formless witness. If is within because the waking or dream are
mere mirage created out of the self, which is in the form of consciousness.
Thus forms and names within waking or dream have no value because the waking or
dreams are mere mirage created out of the consciousness. The waking or dreams are impermanent whereas
the formless substance and witness of the waking or dream are permanent.
‘Self ‘is beyond
the waking or dream because it is neither the waking entity nor it is the dream
entity. The self exists by itself only
in deep sleep without the limitation of sense of form, time and space. The self is attribute- less, non-dual entity
which alone prevails when all the three states are negated mentally.
The knower knowing and known is absent in in Self-Awareness or Brahmic -Awareness , since there is no duality (I or illusion). The duality consists of man, world and his desire for freedom. When the seeking mind gets enlightened of the fact of its non-dual true nature (soul or consciousness, the innermost self), it becomes aware of the fact that, the duality is mere illusion, on the standpoint of consciousnesses self. Thus, birth, life and death are part of the illusion, on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness, the innermost self .
