The religionists and intellectuals who expound knowledge believe that the world is first and people were born in it afterwards. So long as this conviction is there, they cannot understand and assimilate the self-knowledge.
Only within the Waking experience, the duality is experienced. Prior to appearance of the Waking experience, there was neither the person nor the world. The experience of duality ceases to exist without the Waking or dream. Only when the Waking or dream appear the person and the world is present. In deep sleep it has subsided as soul or consciousness.
The mind, which appears and disappears as waking/dream is only a mirage. Only in Waking, experience man is aware of himself and the world. Therefore, seeker has to investigate to overcome the doubts and confusion through deeper inquiry and reasoning.
