The ‘I’ based accumulated knowledge is mother of all misunderstanding and
it becomes main hurdle in the pursuit of truth.
Seeker has to learn view and judge the world-view on the base of formless witness,to
mentally clear his cobweb of all confusions and hurdle by perfect understanding.
The consciousness is the innermost self and it is the formless substance and witness and also the source of the three states. therefore by realizing the the formless substance ,witness and the source are one is essence the duality ceases and non-dual reality prevails as ultimate reality.
The doer ship is part and parcel of the illusion. In doer ship the physical body with the name is the author of the action. In the realm of truth, there is no scope even for knowledge of enjoyer ship or doer ship to say "I am not an enjoyer, I am not a doer". Thus the sense of ‘I’ exists only in duality and it becomes ‘I’- les in the realm of truth. Thus to say I am that, and I am this, or I am as I am, or who am ‘I’, what am I , it is ok for beginners. But seeker who becomes aware f the fact that ‘I’ is not self has to drop identifying the ‘I’ as self. This is difficult task for the seekers in the beginning, but gradually when the mind becomes receptive; then it will start accepting the fact that ‘I’ is not the self, but formless witness is the self.
The one who thinks ‘I’ is the self
is bound by illusory duality. The sense of ‘I’ - 'I am' the notion - that is I
am the Self - it is a notion since it is not true, but one who feels it is true
is bound by that feeling, since all his actions are colored by that notion that
I am is the self – ‘I’ is the false entity within the false experience.
The mind includes body and the whole universe. Limiting the mind to the physical entity is the cause of the ego. Because of the identification with false self, the ego becomes dominant. When ego is dominant the illusory duality becomes reality. The only way to ultimate truth, is by realizing the Conciousness, as true self.
