A
true aspirant is not content with the knowledge of spiritual realities
based on hearsay... he insists on the direct knowledge."
He who
knows the 'thoughts and words are one in essence and that essence is
consciousness. consciousness(soul) is the knower of ultimate truth or
Brahman. A Gnani is one who has realized the highest Truth, has
entered into the realm of consciousness, by burning away the accumulated
egocentric dross, which was cause of ignorance. Hence he is free from
experiencing the illusion as reality.

In the realm of truth
consciousness has no seed of ignorance for illusion. For when mirage is
superimposed on consciousness has merged in the consciousness on the
discrimination of the real and the unreal , it does not appear again as
real to those discriminating people, just as before, from the
impressions of past persisting in the intellect.-
The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that ‘I’
consciousness is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not
self-awareness. The self –awareness is when the formless soul or
consciousness remains aware of its own non-dual true nature.
YOGA VASISHTA:- The mind, the intellect, the senses, etc. are all the play of
Consciousness. They are unreal and seem to exist only due to lack of
insight.
‘I AM' is not Self and Self is not 'I AM'. 'I AM' is bound by form, time
and space. Without the form, time and space 'I AM' cease to exist. Holding ' I
Am as Self one remains in clutches of duality. When there is duality than there
is ignorance. Ignorance is cause of experiencing the duality (illusion) as
reality. The person who identifies Self as 'I AM' will not be able to cross the
threshold of duality. There is no point in saying 'I AM' this or 'I AM THAT'
because the 'self' is that which witness the 'I AM' and the world together
without the physical apparatus.
