Accumulated dross has to be discarded with the sword of Self-Knowledge.




Basing the theory on the birth, life and death and the world is the main hindrance in pursuit of truth that has to be got rid of.
The ‘mind’ is the whole experience of waking or dream because the ‘mind’ is present only when the Waking or dream is present and subsides when the Waking or dream subsides. Absent of mind is absent of waking or dream.  When one limits   the “Self/Soul” to the physical entity it becomes ego. Ego is cause of the ignorance. Ignorance is cause of the duality. Duality is the cause of the illusion. Illusion is cause of experiencing unreality as reality.  Therefore it is necessary to realize the fact that the self is not physical but the spirit in order to assimilate the Self-Knowledge.    
The birth, death, and life are reality within the waking or dream. Only in Waking or dream there is idea of the birth, life death is reality. Man and his experience of the world exist only in waking or dream. Only in illusion the experience of duality is reality.  Until and unless one becomes aware of the fact that, the true self is not physical but the spirit, he will remain in illusion. And he accepts the religion and its idea of individualized god and his beliefs and all the accumulated knowledge from his grooming and circumstances. This accumulated dross has to be discarded with the sword of Self-Knowledge.
