The soul means the self without physicality. The soul is the source from where the mind rises and subsides. When the mind rises the as waking or dream [duality] and subsides as the deep sleep [non-duality].
For the soul, which is the true self, there is neither birth nor death. Nor having once been, does it ever cease to be. It is unborn and eternal, ever existing, undying and primeval. It is does not die when the body and the world dies.
Since, most of the seekers are not ready to accept anything other then their accepted truth, it becomes difficult to understand assimilate the non dual truth. Anyone can realize the non dual truth if he is ready to verify the validity of his own belief and has courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth.

The soul means the self without physicality
The thinker and the thought are part of the false hood.
The thinker and the thought are part of the false hood. The thinker and thought of the dream becomes false when the waking takes place. Similarly the thinker and the thought of the waking becomes falsehood when the wisdom dawns. The one that witnesses the thinker and the thought together is the soul /spirit. The soul is the true self. The soul is the eternal identity. The soul/spirit pervades in everything and everywhere in the three states. The thinker and the thought are mere mirage on the standpoint of the soul/self. Therefore, there is no scope for duality in the realm of the soul/spirit, which is the ultimate truth. The man and his experience of the world are reality on the base of false physical self/’I’/ego.
No one can be free from the thought without realizing the fact that, the thinker and thought is part of the mirage. The formless substance and witness of the mirage, which is the soul/self is real and eternal. Thus, the reality /truth is beyond experience duality. Therefore, trying to discover, understand, assimilate and realize the truth on the base false physical entity within the false experience, is trying to drain the ocean drop by drop.
whatever is seen, known, believed and experienced on the base of ‘I’ has to be falsehood
The birth, life and death and pain and pleasure are reality on the base of ‘I’, which is the false self, within the false experience. When ‘I’ is not the true self, then whatever is seen, known, believed and experienced on the base of ‘I’ has to be falsehood. The individuality and individual experience is nothing to with the true self, which is the soul/spirit.
On the standpoint of the soul as self, the individual experiences of pain and pleasure is mere mirage. To realize this truth one has to inquire, analyze and reason deeply on the base of true self. It takes time to establish to base everything on the soul, because we have inherited the conditioning which is based on the ‘I’ [physical] whereas the ultimate truth is based on the soul, which is in the form of spirit.
Deeper Inquiry and reasoning on revels the fact that the ‘I’ is not the self. If ‘I’ is not the self, then why base our understanding and judgment on the base of ‘I’, which is not the self. Thus, it is necessary to know the true self, rather then judging on the false base of ‘I’.
The scriptures indicate that the truth cannot be attained by studying the scriptures or herein the sacred books, nor through intelligence, nor through learning much, then why follow the scriptures and intellectual discussion.
Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verifying the validity of any claim in pursuit of truth. Only un-contradictable truth has to be accepted as ultimate truth.
Sex is a reality within the illusion/falsehood
Sex is a reality within the illusion/falsehood. When the body is not the experience of the body itself, it is not correct to be judgmental on the ’I’ / physical base. Until one becomes aware of the formless entity, which is witnessing the body and world together, he will not be able to know and realize man and his experience of the world are mere illusion. Therefore, it is necessary to become aware of the formless entity to know the birth, life and death is mere illusion. If the birth, life and death are illusion, then the sex also is part of that illusion. Thus it is necessary to learn to view and judge on the base of formless witness, which is the soul/spirit/self, to understand and assimilate the higher truth.
The thinker and thought are part of the illusion/mirage
The thinker and thought are part of the illusion/mirage. The thought will not arise without the form. The form will not arise without the mind. The minds cease to exist without the soul, which is in the form of spirit. Therefore, there is a need to know the “Self” is not limited to the physical entity, but it pervades in everything and everywhere in the experience of diversity [waking/dream]. The self remain in its formless non dual true nature which is identified as deep sleep in ignorance or duality. There is neither thinker, nor the thought in reality. The one who bases himself on the thinker and thought or creation and creator will not be able cross the threshold duality. All the three states are created, sustained by the soul/spirit and finally dissolves itself remains in its formless non dual nature. There is no second thing other then the soul /spirit. Thus everything else other then the soul/spirit is illusion. Thus the soul/self/spirit alone is real all else is mere mirage.
Thus, the individual experiences, which are happening within the waking, are also as good as dream. The one which is aware of the appearance and disappearance of the three states is the soul /sprit. Thus, the thought arises to the individual. And Individuality is falsehood within the false experience. Thus it is necessary to know the self is not ‘I’ but the formless soul in order to grasp the non dual truth.
The ego is not the self
The ego is not the self. When one limits the ‘I’ to physical entity, it is called ego. The ego, body and world appear together and disappear together. Therefore, limiting the ‘I’ to the physical entity is creates the ignorance of the truth/reality. To understand “What is truth” and “What is untruth” one has to know the fact that; whether the mind/’I’ is within the body, or body and world are within the ‘I’/mind to get Self-realization.
‘I’ is not the self. ‘I’ is mere illusion.
‘I’ is not the self. ‘I’ is mere illusion. I Am is the ego. Ego is the false entity within the false experience. There is a need to know “What is ‘I’? before proceeding in pursuit of truth. The deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning reveal the fact that, ‘I’ is not limited to the physical entity but to the whole experience of diversity. Therefore limiting the ‘I’ to the physical entity and viewing and judging the truth on base of false physical entity within the false experience is erroneous.
The birth, life and death, which take place within the world, are also illusion.
The world is mere illusion/myth. Therefore, the birth, life and death, which take place within the world, is also illusion. The belief of god, the religion and its scriptures are reality within the illusion. Therefore, trying to get enlightenment on the base of physical entity, which is limited to the world, will lead one to hallucinated enlightenment, based on the imagination.
The god and guru are part of the illusory world; therefore the devotee and disciple also are also part of the illusion. Accepting the birth, life and death as reality, is accepting the illusion as reality. Accepting illusion as reality is the cause of the ignorance. Ignorance makes one feel the duality as reality. The duality makes one feel he is an individual separate from the world. This separation makes one feel the birth, life and death as reality. The person who bases on the birth, life and death is trying to find the meaning of life. There is no meaning or purpose of the life, because the life is mere happening within the illusion. Thus the karma based on the physical entity is based on the birth, life and death, which is part and parcel of the illusion.
All appearance has not appeared to the physical entity, but to the soul. Man and the world are mere appearance. That is, the illusion is mere appearance. Thus man cannot be considered as witness, since man and his experience of the world are within the illusion. Thus the witness of the illusion is within the illusion but it is apart fro the illusion. It is with is with in the illusion as its formless substance and it is apart from the illusion as its formless witness. The formless substance and witness is the soul/spirit. The soul/spirit is the true self. Realizing the soul as self is Self -Realization. Therefore, the soul alone is real and all else is mere illusion. By Learning to view and judge the truth on the base of soul as self will lead one to realize the fact that the man and the world are mere illusion.
Therefore, it is necessary to learn to view and judge the truth on the base of soul, to understand and assimilate the self-knowledge. It is the though the soul one knows himself as a person and perceives the world. It is the soul, which is the author/knower of the three states, not the person who is limited to waking/dream.
A well directed search will lead one to his non-dual destination. Trying to seek truth on the false entity/ego, one feels he is going round and round. And feels stupid of himself! and feel stupid of all analysis based on the ego !
