The the truth has to be searched not between the man and his experience of the world ,but between the the illusion and its formless witness.



Words! the Way to ultimate reality is beyond language. From ultimate standpoint There is no life, no birth, and no death no world.
We need very less words to understand  and assimilate the ultimate truth but because of inborn conditioning using of more  words are inevitable in order to grasp the reality beyond form,time and space.   There is no each of us but all of us   including  the world[illusion]  is not different from the consciousness . Consciousness is the formless substance and witness of the three states.    Because   inborn conditioning and    conviction one is ignorant of the reality,which is beyond form,time and space. Because of the inborn conditioning   one thinks he is and individual separate from the world, therefore,  he is unable to cross the threshold of duality. The soul is the innermost self. The soul is in the form of consciousness.


When ‘Self’  is within the three states as its formless substance   and it is  without the three states. Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  clears all the  doubts and  confusions and dispels the ignorance.


Experience means duality. Man and his experience of the world are with in the experience(waking or dream) . Man and his experience of the world together forms the mind.  thus mind is mere an experience. The experience is always illusion. 

Only in the  illusion the duality is possible. Since, the man is the  illusory identity within the illusion. Therefore, man is not the “Self”. Considering man as self and trying to assimilate Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to intellectuality.    Therefore, there is a need to understand the fact that ,  the the truth has to be searched not between the man and his experience of the world ,but between the the illusion and its formless witness.  Then only one will be able to trace the non-dual reality. 
  
Any experience involves two – the one who experiences, and what is being experienced both are part of the illusion. The non-dual  truth is hidden within the illusion as its formless substance and witness. 

The wisdom is not an experience but it is realization of the truth.  One realizes the  body and world are mere illusion  created out of the soul(consciousness or spirit) .  Therefore, the diversity is mere illusion created out of single stuff.  Thus, one should not get fooled by the experiences experienced on the waking entity, but one has to realize the fact  that,  the waking entity itself is illusory,  because the waking experience itself  is illusion. Therefore, man and his world does not exist in reality ,what exists is the non-dual existence, which is without the man and his world.  Therefore, one has to come out of the idea of the body and world disappearing . The body and world never disappears  but in the midst of the waking experience the non-dual wisdom dawns. When the wisdom dawns then the body and the world becomes unreal for the Gnani.

 Gnani sees the world not on the physical base, but on the base of the soul, thew innermost self. Thus he is fully aware of the fact that,  his body and world are also consciousness or  spirit.  Therefore, there is neither body, nor the world but only the spirit ,which is the true self.  Therefore, there is no second-thing exists for Gnani other then consciousness.   

 A true seeker drops all his idea of individual experiences ,which lead him to investigate  the meaning  of his experiences.  the formless soul or consciousness remains eternally  and the illusory three states comes and goes are  impermanent.   Therefore seeker has to focus his attention on on the permanent and become one with it  in order to mentally drop the three states . 

It is impossible to experience  ultimate truth the on the physical self. The physical self is individual self  within the world . Individual self and the world are part of the illusion.  Thus whatever is experienced on the base of individual self is mere illusion. 

 The formless soul or consciousness, the innermost self pervades the whole illusion and  soul  is beyond illusion.  Therefore, giving importance to individual experiences within the illusion keeps one in grip  of the illusion(duality).  Therefore, seeker of truth has to come out of the grip of illusion(duality) by realizing the fact that, the  self is not physical  but it is the formless soul or spirit.   On the base of the soul  the innermost self ,  no experience is possible, thus all experiences are mere illusion.

Through meditation or yoga it is  impossible to acquire non-dual wisdom, because they are practiced on the the base of physical self,which is the false self(ego or waking entity) within the false experience(waking).   Whatever achieved on the base of physical self is bound to be illusion.  Therefore, there is need to know how the physical existence is illusion and what is reality to enter the non-dual kingdom.   Therefore, I , you ,others and the world are part of the illusion. What exists without I , you , others and the world is reality.

Where are the three states? It can never be seen or even apprehended. It is like a magical illusion. Searching for their truth, unable to see it, a person looks for its origin. The soul is the source of the mind from where it rises and subsides. Mind does not arise without the soul, the innermost self. The physical eye cannot look at itself. Just as the blade of a sword cannot cut itself, so  the soul , the innermost self cannot see itself, because it is formless and there is no second thing exists to see  other then itself.
With the aid of Self-Knowledge, the seekers will be able to cross the threshold duality or illusion.   Through  the Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  gets rid of the ignorance, which is the cause for experiencing the duality as reality.
The manner in which the fire burns down the firewood, same way the fire of Self –Knowledge will reduce the illusion into ashes. The Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is capable of liberating the seekers from the shackles of physicality. 
There is no knowledge is higher then the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  The seeker who has urge to know the truth seriously and sincerely will be able to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Seeker of truth has to strive mentally not physically for the achievement of Self-Knowledge in order to get freedom from experiencing illusion/duality as reality.
