Know the truth, and that truth sets you free from experiencing the duality [pain and pleasure] as reality.







P: Santtosh, the only issue I see in your approach is that you are rejecting life totally and reiterating that the soul is the only reality.
Nothing wrong with that.
But I feel more comfortable living in this world intensely, as it demands that of us every day
and at the same time learning about Truth.

A: It is not rejecting the life in total, but realizing the fact that, the burden and bondage of the duality is not on the physical self, which is the cause of anxiety in day today life   but it is on the soul which is the true self. Know the truth, and that truth sets you free from experiencing the duality [pain and pleasure] as reality.
Until we are unaware of the fact that the self is not physical we simply take the authorship of the experience o duality and experience the illusory pain and pleasure as reality. When we become aware of the fact that, we are not the author of our own experience then only the burden is shifted to the true author which is the soul. The biblical insight says:- Cast the burden on Christ[truth] within and you go free. 
It is the same way rejecting the burden of bondage of the dream after waking, consciously reject the reality of the waking in the midst of waking and live life in celebration of peace and tranquillity of the non-duality in the midst of duality.  Only when you are soul oriented then only the witnessing happens and life [pain and pleasure] becomes a passing show.
It is necessary to know the subject in length, and then only it is possible to know what I am saying.
