Viewing and judging and passing opinion and theorizing on the base of the waking entity or ego as self is mere imagination ,which leads to hallucination.

All the theories are based on the false self  thus they are falsehood. Those who base their physical based theories, thinking false self as real self and false experience as reality(waking)  .the one believe in the theories based on the false self are the prisoners of duality.

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the, self is neither the waking entity nor the self is the dream entity but the self is formless soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states in succession without the physical apparatus.  This has to be mentally grasped and assimilated to realize the formless soul, the innermost   self is nothing to do with the three states. On the standpoint of the three states, the three states are mere illusion.

The practical life within the practical world, which is present as waking experience, is mere illusion. If waking experience is mere illusion than the individual experience of birth, life, death and world are mere illusion.   If the experience birth, life death and the world are mere illusion, it means the form; time and space are mere illusion.  If form, time and space are mere illusion, it means the past, present and future is mere illusion. Thus it is necessary for the seeker to realize the fact that,   form, time and space are one in essence, in order to realize the three states are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus all the diversity is created out of   formless consciousness. Thus no second thing exist other than consciousness, the innermost self. Seeker of truth has to constantly reflect on the subject in order to get firm conviction of the truth.  Seeker has to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes reality. One needs to constant reflect on the subject until he gets firm conviction of what is what.

If the self is not waking entity then it is clear that one has to view and judge the worldview on the base of the formless soul, the innermost self. on the standpoint of the formless soul, the three states are mere mirage created out of the consciousness(soul). 

Viewing and judging and passing opinion and theorizing on the base of the waking entity or ego  as self is mere imagination ,which  leads to hallucination.

One has to discover the truth, which is beyond, within the experince of duality, by proper understanding of what is truth? and what is not truth? and accept only the truth and reject the untruth.

By theorizing and arguing on the  theories based on the false self  will keep them like a stagnant water. One need not accept what other says, but he has to make sure for himself, whether it holds good on the base the formless entity,which powers the universe. 

Sage Sri Nirakara said: the Waking entity, whether it is wealthy or popular or powerful disappears in deep sleep, and becomes one with the the formless substance from where the waking experience is erupted.

If body is not the self,then, what is it, that experiences, the dual (waking-dream) and non dual (deep sleep) states.

When the waking experience  is not the experince of the waking entity  itself because the waking entity and the waking world are within the waking experience. The witness of the three states is not the waking entity but  the witness is the formless soul (consciousness), the innermost self.  On the standpoint of the formless soul, the innermost self, the three states are mere illusion. 

The practical life within the practical world, which is present as waking experience, is mere illusion. If waking experience is mere illusion than the individual experience of birth, life, death and world are mere illusion.   If the experience birth, life death and the world are mere illusion, it means the form; time and space are mere illusion.  If form, time and space are mere illusion, it means the past, present and future is mere illusion. Thus it is necessary for the seeker to realize the fact that,   form, time and space are one in essence, in order to realize the three states are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus all the diversity is created out of   formless consciousness. Thus no second thing exist other than consciousness, the innermost self. Seeker of truth has to constantly reflect on the subject in order to get firm conviction of the truth.  Seeker has to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes reality. One needs to constant reflect on the subject until he gets firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets firm conviction of ‘what is what. 

The ignorance is the cause of experiencing waking experience(duality) as reality. Thus eradicating the ignorance completely is necessary. And this is possible only through self-knowledge.   Thus, there is no other road to freedom other than Gnana.  There is no other entrance other than except Gnana.  The ignorance will vanish only when the non-dual wisdom dawns.

Sri Sankara, in Bhaja Govindam says: - [Jnana Viheena Sarva Mathena Bajathi na Muktim janma Shatena] - one without knowledge does not obtain liberation even in a hundred births, no matter which religious faith he follows.

Thus it proves that religion is not the means to self-knowledge. 

 Detachment to attachment is impossible without wisdom. Only when one realizes the fact that, the self is not form but self is formless, than only it is possible to detach the ‘self’ from the false attachment.
