The experience of waking and dream springs up from the soul, which is in the form of spirit or consciousness. The man within the world is ignorant of the soul, which is the true self, and perceives the world as reality. Once he becomes aware of the the self is not 'I' self is the formless soul, which is present in the form of consciousness then he becomes aware of the fact that his body and his experience of the world are created out of the consciousness . on the standpoint of the soul the waking is mere mirage created out of consciousness. The enlightened however perceive the consciousness spirit ) in all things, both animate and inanimate. For him his body and his experience of the world are nothing but consciousness.
A Gnani never claims he is a Gnani. A Gnani being in the illusion he is not of the illusion. Doer and doing and the world are all within the duality. With perfect equanimity, even in practical life within the practical world a Gnani attends all his worldly duties like any other commoner. He may have sorrows but he is in perfect equanimity because he is aware of the fact that, the physical awareness is mere illusion created out of the soul, the innermost self. He is fully aware his physical life started within the illusion and ends within the illusion. When it ends then the soul, the innermost is free from experiencing the form, time and space as reality. When the non-duality is viewed and judged on dualistic perspective it is impossible to acquire self-knowledge. The people who wait for something to happen automatically will not be able to cross the threshold of duality. The self-realization depends on the seeker. The seeker cannot decide who is Gnani and who is A Gnani seeker has yet to acquire Gnana.
The self is without the body and without the
world. The universe ceases to exist
without the consciousness because the consciousness itself is the universe. People
are unaware of the fact that, whatever the universe contains is also
consciousness. The thought and the thinker, the individual experience of the
birth, life and death, and the idea of personalized god, doer, doing are part
of the universe. Thus all these are also
consciousness. Thus the whole universe is created out of the single stuff.
Since people are stuck with the reality of the form, time and space they experience
the duality as reality. On Non-dualistic perspective the duality is mere an
illusion.
