Man and his experience of the world are within the illusion.



Man is not conscious of the fact  that, everyone is propelled by an irrepressible urge to know the truth within and facilitate its manifestation. The influence of religion, inborn ignorance,  parental grooming and society and circumstances creates a strong mindset, which actually makes one to believe ‘Self’ is physical and view and judge the worldview on the base of physical self with its logical conclusion. Thus, the physical self becomes mode of receptivity.  The physical self or ego becomes a big obstacle that has to be overcome by seekers by proper and perfect understanding. 

One has to  realize the fact that “Self” is neither the waking entity nor the self is dream entity  but self  is the formless  soul or spirit.  the soul or spirit is the innermost self. The soul is present in the form of consciousness.  
 
Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the, self is neither the waking entity nor the self is the dream entity but the self is formless soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states in succession without the physical apparatus.  This has to be mentally grasped and assimilated to realize the formless soul, the innermost   self is nothing to do with the three states. On the standpoint of the three states, the three states are mere illusion.

People think that the ‘soul’ or ‘spirit’ is something different from the mind. They believe that the mind is really two. This is the confusion among religionists and intellectuals. If ‘Soul’ has any meaning, if ‘spirit’ has any meaning, so long as one thinks of them, they are merely ideas. No, Mind is the highest: it is consciousness, non-dual wisdom.

 Man and his experience of the world are within the illusion. Therefore, whatever is happening within the illusion is bound to be illusion. Thus, the birth, life and death are mere illusion; therefore the meaning of life is mere illusion.  
If “Self’ is not waking entity then whatever one believed of himself, world, God and religion within the waking experience is  bound to be falsehood. Therefore, ‘Mind’ which is the whole Waking experience or dream is mere illusion. Limiting the mind to the physical entity is cause of the ignorance. 

Thus searching the truth as a person and believing the mind is within the physical apparatus and searching for the truth will lead only towards hallucination.  The one that has the illusion is the soul or spirit, the innermost self . 


The formless substance and witness of the illusion is the soul or spirit. The formless substance itself is witness of the illusion because there is no second thing other then the soul/spirit exists even though there is diversity within the illusion.

When the facts about the nature of the illusion is discovered and realized than  the reality of the illusion(waking or universe)  is exposed  and only the formless non-dual substance which is soul or spirit will prevail as ultimate reality.



We have to grow from the inside out. None can teach us, none can make us spiritual. There is no other guru but our own soul.”
Self-knowledge or Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana cannot be attained by one who is without strength or earnestness or without the receptiveness and courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth. If a serious seeker strives sincerely by means of inquiry, analysis and soul-centric reasoning, he will be able to realize it.
It is only seekers sincerity and earnestness in his spiritual pursuit, the knowledge started revealing on its own.  Anyone who has humility and patience and is sincere and ready to drop their accumulated dross and receptive to accept the truth will enter non-dual Self-Awareness when his conviction becomes firm.
