Remembrance also is similarly relative, requiring an object to be remembered and a subject to remember. When there is no duality, who is to remember whom? The “Self /Soul “is ever-present. Each one wants to know the Self, which is the soul.
Seekers require knowing the true self is not physical but the formless spirit. The “Self” is not something new, but it is eternal and remains the same all along. People think it is some sort of blazing light but it is not so. It is not light, not darkness. It is only as it is. It cannot be defined.
The best definition is “Self” is not physical but it is the formless “Spirit”. The scriptures speak of the Self as being the size of one's thumb, the tip of the hair, an electric spark, vast, subtler than the subtlest, etc. They have no foundation in fact. It is only being, but different from the real and the unreal; it is knowledge, but different from knowledge and ignorance.

The “Self cannot be defined at all because it is prior to everything which can be defined.
