Deeper self-search revels the fact that, the self is neither the waking entity nor dream entity but the self is formless soul or consciousness, which witnesses the coming and going of the three state. Therefore, there is no use of finding meaning of life because the birth,life and death takes place within the waking experience itself is mere illusion on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness, the innermost self.
People are trying to find out the meaning of living, by giving an intellectual significance to it, but when they go deeper in to the source of their experience , they will become aware of the fact the life seems to have some meaning only on the base of the ego or waking entity . When one becomes aware of the fact that, the physical existence(waking) is mere illusion on the standpoint of the soul, which is the true self, then the life is meaningless. Thus birth, life, death and the world are mere mirage created out of the soul, which is in the form of consciousness. The whole experience of the dream is created out of the soul; likewise the whole waking experience is created out of the spirit.
Al this has to be examined through deeper self-search. One has to realize the fact that, the birth, life, death and world are part and parcel of the illusion. Therefore, finding the meaning of illusion thinking it as reality will leads only towards hallucination. Therefore, instead of searching meaning of life, one has to find the source of the mind, to unfold the mystery of the duality.
People think living is complete, total affection, compassion, tenderness and love. But all these are reality on the physical self within the illusion. One has also to realize the birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness, the innermost self.
The birth, life and death are division created in consciousness. Any division within the consciousness is bound to be illusion. One shall not be able to understand this because he bases himself on physical self. To grasp and assimilate the non-dual truth one has to trace the formless substance and witness of the three states.
Intellectual speculation will not transport one towards the non-dualistic destination. As long as one has the conviction that he is an individual separate from the world, he will not be able to grasp the truth. The truth is not based on physical self, therefore speculating on the base of physical self will lead on toward hallucination.
