Self is not the physical body








Many people bound to disagree because, they believe whatever they know, read, heard and accepted as ultimate truth, and they indulge in argument on their own point of view. Such arguments will not yield any fruits in the pursuit of truth.  F.P  is not for the intellectually infirm; there are many groups' paths and practices enough for them pouring out endless drizzle of conventional sentiments.
Only those seekers who have tried all the paths and practices and found them inadequate and useless to quench their spiritual thirst and the seekers who have intense urge and serious are most suited F.P.  There is no scope for argument because everyone is moving a head by clearing the doubts and confusion, by verifying the fact through inquiry and reasoning on the true base and moving ahead.  Reading the messages again and again itself is sort of spiritual practice, which sends the suggestion to the subconscious and it becomes receptive to receive self knowledge. When the inner revelation will start and clears all the obstacles and paves the path towards non-dual destination. 
F.P shares the true self-knowledge and it is a boon to all the serious seekers. 
SELF IS NOT THE PHYSIAL BODY

Seeker has to be aware the non-dual substance of the mind. There was never any division in the subject, but man is under the delusion that he is not one with it, because the illusion of whole experience of diversity is created out of the non-dual substance. Man and the world are part of that illusion. Thus man and world are mere illusion in reality. The man thinks him-self as self and view and judges the worldview within the illusion. Therefore he is ignorant of the fact that he and his experience of the world is the product of the illusion. Therefore, one has to find out what has this illusion to unfold the mystery of the duality or mind. 

Until man thinks he is the author of all the three states he will remain viewing and judging the worldview on the base of the `I' as self. Until one is deluded by `I', who is not self, he will not be in the position to grasp and assimilate the self-knowledge. Only by analyzing the three states seeker will becomes aware of the fact that the all the three states are appearing and disappearing in succession and the formless witness is within the three states but same time it is apart. It is within the three states because it pervades all the three states as its formless substance. And it is apart from the three states as its formless witness.  The Atman is like a railway station and all three states are like trains which come and go.  The station is unaffected of the trains which come and go.  Similarly, Atman is unaffected of the three states which appears and disappears.
The self   under the super imposition due to complete ignorance becomes the illusion whereas the same self under realization becomes Atman.

 A Gnani remains as Atman due to full realization whereas others remained as seekers due to ignorance and became Atman only when he becomes aware of the fact that `I' is not the self.
 This means that it is the will of Atman to maintain the realization to preach others or to maintain complete ignorance to enjoy fully. One cannot compare a Gnani to every seeker because Gnani also behaves as fellow seeker being under ignorance and guides them to overcome the ignorance without claiming himself as guru. 

Man is under the illusion of physical body. Atman is also under the illusion the whole waking experience or dream.  Man is not aware of Atman and Atman is not aware of itself in illusion. In both the cases the final effect of the illusion. 

When the illusion is absent then there is only Atman. Therefore seeker has to overcome the ignorance by deeper understanding and overcoming all the fatter and obstacles in realizing the fact that `I' is not the self.

Atman is the true self and not the physical body. This is transformation of one super imposition to another super imposition. The person has to realize the fact that `I' is not the physical body but `I' is the whole waking experience [mind] until man thinks himself as self he remains experiencing the duality as reality.  Until he remains in the experience of duality he will remain in the intoxication of the illusion. The intoxication of illusion [mind] will remain strong until the formless substance of the illusion is traced.  

Seeker of the truth has to realize the fact that, he is the self but Atman is the true self. Only then the illusion is truly understood because the self remains as Atman after perfect understanding of the illusion. The Atman becomes Atman on being relieved from the illusion of duality, Means becoming fully aware of the fact that the illusion is created out of one single substance that is Atman. Thus there is no second thing other then Atman.
