As a person perceiving the world the mind is not aware of the fact that, the true self is the soul, which, witnesses Waking experience [the person and his experience of the world together]. However, the witness is apart from the Waking experience [person and his experience of the world]. Since it is not an entity or identity within the waking experience, but it is the formless substance of the mind. The person and his experience of the world together [waking] is mind.
Limiting the ‘I’ [mind] to the physical entity is cause of the ignorance. And one is caught in the web of ego. Until and unless, the seeker becomes aware of the fact that, the individual experiences within the Waking experience is nothing to do in pursuit of truth.
The love, compassion and virtues and service, conducts, service to human kind are good for the society and they are part of the individual experiences within the Waking experience. But they are not qualification to acquire wisdom.
Until and unless seeker is aware of the fact that 'I' is not the self but 'I' is mind. And mind is the whole waking experience [duality] in which person perceives the world as an individual.
The mind which appears as Waking, dream and disappears as deep sleep. Therefore, it is necessary to know the invisible knower of the mind which appears and disappears, because person and the world are within the mind. Thus a person cannot take the authorship of the mind, because mind is dependent on the invisible witness.
There is no point in arguing with those who view and base the worldview on the base of physical self, because they are unaware of the fact that, the physical body is dependent on something else to function itself as person, and perceive the world. If physical body is independent functioning on its own then their viewpoint can be accepted as truth.
It is erroneous to view and judge the worldview on the authorship of ‘I’ or physical body, when they are not the true author of the Waking experience. There is a need to wake up and verify the fact the true author of the Waking experience. There is no use of convincing those because they believe only in their accepted truth not universal truth.
In the beginning the mind resists to inquire and reason. However, by constant reflecting into the nature of the mind it becomes receptive, and able to grasp and assimilate the knowledge of the true self or the spirit.
