The “Self” is neither the breath nor breather; because “Self” is the cause of the breather and the breath and it, itself is uncaused.


The universe is abode of the multifarious beings things and experiences. Everything is bound by form time and space. It gives the feeling that everything is well ordained cause and cause leads to result.  Religious theory that Material concept of universe in resists the concept of personal god and universe exists and things will happen in the manner in which they do without the interference of the god or Supreme Being.  The diversity of experiences human beings enjoy and suffers leads him to visualizing the God inherent in all the things and happenings determining their destiny is mere Religious theory based on the false self.

 Therefore, it is necessary to inquire, analyse and reason to realize the fact that, the self is not physical [form] but the self is consciousness [formless]. When one becomes aware of the fact that , the self is not the form but the self is formless. Then whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as form bound to be false hood. All the religious theories, yogic theories or any theories are mere speculation based on the form base, which is the false base. Thus religion and yoga are based on the false self are not the means for Self-Realization.  

The true self, is in the form of consciousness that pervades in all the being and both animates and inanimate, meaning it pervades the whole universe, which is in the form of mind.   The consciousness is imperishable is present in the universe, which is perishable.

One will be able to grasp, assimilates, understands and realizes this truth, only when he is able to view the universe or mind, on the base of the true self, which is formless.  

The paradox of the duality is solved when one understands that, the universe is the manifestation of the consciousness.  Thus, universe [mind], which is full of diversity, is created out of single substance, which is consciousness. The duality [universe] ceases to be real, when one becomes aware of its formless substance and witness, which is consciousness.  Thus, consciousness alone is real and the universe is unreal.

There is no time when the consciousness is not. The consciousness pervades all the three states. Consciousness exits with or without the waking or dream experiences as their formless substance and witness. The universe perishes but the formless substance and witness of the universe, which is consciousness , will prevail eternally.

Whoever considers “Self” [consciousness] to be the breath and whoever considers the self to be the breather, do not realize the truth.  The “Self” is neither the breath nor breather; because “Self” is the cause of the breather and the breath and it, itself is uncaused. The breather ant the breath are part of the mirage.   The universe or mind is mere mirage created out of consciousness, which is the true self.
