When the yogi thinks his body as self and sits to meditate. He is thinking his -self to be the physical body; and tries to get rid of his thoughts. It means he has accepted his-self to the body. Thus, he is trying to experience the Samadhi as a person. That means he is basing his self on the false identity within the false experience. Therefore, yogic Samadhi practiced and experienced on the false physical entity. Whatever is based on the physical entity has to be falsehood. Therefore it is very much necessary to know the fact that true self is not physical but it is formless. It is his bondage, that he practices Samadhi meditation on the base of his false identity. Thus it is necessary to know the true self before indulging in pursuit of truth.
Seeker has to put aside the imagination and have the thinker. One can get only a thought through thinking. The thinker and the thoughts are part of the duality, not of the reality. Meditation is only an effort of the physical self/ego; it is mere imagination or an idea. The truth is self remains the same with or without duality.
When soul /self’s attention is riveted to the world, it is in forgetfulness of itself. All external objects an internal ideas are mental. When one is absorbed in thinking of anything he is either in waking or in dream. As a person within the waking or dream he unaware of the subject which is the spirit/true self.
Thinking body as subject and observing everything is the cause of the ignorance. The subject is neither the body nor the mind. Soul/self, witnesses the body and world together. That is it witnesses the waking and dream like T.V show.
The true Self witnesses all these three states which appear and diaper in succession. The objects within the waking dream are mental; hence they are mere mirage created out of Atman. When the physical structure is dismantled through wisdom mentally, whatever prevails without the physical structure is spirit which is ultimate truth.
