As a man, one is ignorant of the true self. ! Why does one assert the blissful, ever-existent soul [consciousness], which is within the three states as its formless clay and is evidently apart from it, as its formless witness? The three states are absolutely non-existent in the realm of the true self, which is consciousness or soul.
Seeker of truth has to know, with the help of deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base, the true Self, which is different from the three states, not a void but the very form of existence, and very difficult for persons who view and judge the worldview on the base of ‘ego’.
The true self is not sense of “I” /ego, but the soul [consciousness], whereas the gross bodies are many. So how can this body be true self, when the body and its experience of the world exist only in mind[waking/dream]?
True self which is Soul/Spirit is the subject of perception whereas the ego, body and the world are the objects. This is learnt from the fact that, when one speaks of the body, ego he says, “This is mine.” So how can this body and ego be the self?
It is a fact of direct experience of the true self [the “Soul] is without any change, whereas the mind [waking/dream] is always undergoing changes. So how can this body be self, which is present only within the mind [waking/dream]?
Gnanis have ascertained the real nature of the true self [soul] through inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base, “There is nothing higher than Soul, the true self,” So how can this body be the self, when the body is present only within the Mind [waking/dream]?
All the three states is verily the consciousness” because they are created out of consciousness. So how can this body be self, when the body exists only within the mind [waking/dream], which is made of consciousness?
The true self is completely unattached” from the three states [mind], because true self is not an entity or identity within the three states [mind]. How can this body be the self, when the body exists only within the waking/dream [mind]?
