When the sky,
clouds and the world in which you exist are made of single clay then there is
no second thing exists, other than that clay. That clay is the Soul, which
formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
Reality is hidden by the unreality. The world in
which we exist hides the truth. Whatever
belongs to you is unreal. The words and thoughts belong to you, not to the Soul,
which is the ‘self.
Whatever has name and form and attributes and
whatever belongs to form, time and space is an illusion. The illusion hides the
Spirit, which is God. The illusion and
Spirit are one in essence. Spirit, the
God alone is real and eternal.
Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sri, Sankara reveals both the real
and the unreal nature of existence.
The world is both
real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but
is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness
itself.
People's approach
is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it
as real. That is why all the confusion.
Whosoever
identifies the Self with this bundle of bones and flesh are caught up in the
grip of dualistic illusion or Maya. Now the question arises: If the Self is not you, then what is the Self? The real Self is not you but the
Soul is hidden by the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Remember:~
The ‘Self’ is not you but the
Self is the Soul. Holding the Self as 'you' is a great error. The Self is not ‘I’ to say I AM THIS or I AM
THAT. Remember the ‘I’ is the whole universe.
The
one which is born, lives, and dies, is not the ‘Self’. The ‘Self’ is not you,
but the ‘Self’ is the Soul. The Soul is birthless and deathless because it is
the ever formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
The
experience of the birth, life, death, and the world appear because of ignorance. The experience of the birth, life, death, and the world is created
out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form
of consciousness.
The
Soul is present in the form of consciousness. on the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which you
exist is merely an illusion. The individual experiences birth, life, and death which happens within the
illusory world is bound to be an illusion.
The
one which is born, lives and dies, is not the ‘Self’. The ‘Self’ is not you,
but the ‘Self’ is the Soul. The Soul is birthless and deathless because it is
the ever formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
The
experience of the birth, life, death, and the world appear because of ignorance. The experience of the birth, life, death, and the world is created
out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form
of consciousness.
The
Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ has no death because it is never born. The
experience of birth, life, and death are a reality within the dualistic
illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
