The Soul, the Self is not subject to any modification, without beginning and end, beyond thought and speech because it is ever nondual. The Soul, the Self is the existence, Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, awareness. The Soul, the Self, is one without a second, complete in itself.
The Soul, the Self never moves. It is always still, always the same. It is the cause of everything that exists as reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya but it itself is uncaused.
People who mechanically perform worship and rituals remain in ignorance that is like being blind. But those who merely worship gods remain in a deeper ignorance because they seek rewards for their worship.
Until identify the Self as you the ignorance will prevail. It is your habitual ‘I-centric’ attitude will
not allow you to know the truth hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion or
Maya.
Remember:~
The form, time, and space are connected to the ‘I’.
The experience of the
birth, life, death and the world, is connected to the ‘I’.
The waking experience is connected
to the ‘I’
The dream is connected to the ‘I’
The universe in which you
exist is connected to the ‘I.
The mind is connected to
the ‘I’
The Self is not the ‘I’.
The ‘I’ hides the Soul,
which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is permanent
because it is the formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
That is why Bhagavad Gita:
~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
Why are you struggling to
find out who you are? You will never find the answer if you get stuck to the
‘I’. Find out ‘what is this ‘I’, which appears and disappears.
What is that is aware of
the coming and going, of the ‘I’?
Without realizing ‘what is
this ‘I’ you will never be able to realize the mystery of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is
the most intoxicating stuff. Those who use the word ‘I’ for the ‘Self ‘will
never be able to cross the threshold of the dualistic illusion.
The ‘I’ based teachings
will not transport the seeker to the ultimate end of understanding.
‘I’ is the cage for the
Soul. ‘I’ is the cause of ignorance. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma
Gnana is the only weapon to get rid of ignorance.
The ‘I’ based teachings
will not transport the seeker to the ultimate end of understanding. Perfect
understanding of ‘what is this ‘I’ leads to realizing the truth beyond the
form, time, and space.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita
16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "mine," If you
feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply
a man who suffers. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
