The truth is hidden within the ‘I’ which is the whole universe.

When the self realization happens the Waking experience will no more remain as reality; but everything will be viewed and judged on the base of the consciousness, the innermost  self. 

One will be able realize the fact that,  the whole Waking as mere illusion on the standpoint of the consciousnesses the innermost self.

Although the consciousness appears to be non-dual, it is indulges in activity in the experience of illusory duality. But when the seeker knows the consciousness  is the true self which is hidden within the mind as its invisible substance witness will realize what is truth and what is not the truth. When the seeker becomes aware of the fact that consciousness  is the true self, materialistic tendencies automatically transmitted into spiritual understanding and sense of equanimity in experience of duality will prevail.

The truth is hidden within the ‘I’ or mind. The mind is in the form of  the whole universe. When the seeker finds the fact that, the whole universe or ‘I’ is dependent on the invisible substance for its existence then he become aware of the fact that the invisible substance is the eternal identity and universe  or mind is mere illusion.

Seeker has to prepare himself to receive not much words but the truth. The effective force of the word in individuals and their reaction to it will be accordance with magnitude and receptivity of each individual mind. 

True seeker means to search the truth of one’s own existence. When one becomes aware of the fact and feels religion, scriptures god glorification, yoga and all path and practices are inadequate and useless to quench his spiritual thirst, at that stage he becomes an aspirant and drops everything which he has practiced sincerely for long time and focuses his attention only to acquire self-knowledge.

The state of self may be divided into two parts:-

1)     Dual ---waking and dream.

2)     Non-dual ---deep sleep.

The self is the witness of the dual and non-dual states. And self can prevail with dual and non-dual states. But the duality cannot exist without the self. The self is with in the experience of duality as it is it invisible substance and it is apart from the experience of duality as its invisible witness. It is apart because; it is not an entity or identity within the experience of duality.

The consciousness the innermost self is hidden in the ’I’ which is Waking or dream experience, which is present itself as mind. When the seeker focuses all his attention on the substance and witness of the ‘I’, he becomes aware of the fact that the waking and dream experiences are created and sustained by the by a single substance which is non-dual spirit, and the whole experience finally dissolves in it, and prevails as non-dual reality.

Although the self which is non-dual spirit is pervades the whole Waking or dream experiences, one fails to identify it, because it is the invisible substance, which powers the experience of waking and dream. The Waking and dream experience are like mirage their substance is sprit. That means both the experiences are non-existent in Reality.  Only within the mirage one feels they are reality. When one knows the ‘I’ is only an mirage and the substance and witness  of the ‘I’, is the true self, he becomes self conscious, and the Waking prevails as mirage to the one who becomes aware of the true self, which is spirit.

The formless consciousness  appears as Waking and dream or deep sleep, when it identifies itself with the physical entity and gets caught up in the intoxication of illusory experience of duality and suffers from the pangs birth, life and death. When it becomes aware of its formless non-dual true nature it is a self-release.

Let these fact inscribed in seekers heart that the experience of duality is unreal and the formless non-dual substance of the experience of duality is real.

To know the truth in most practical way is to become aware of the invisible substance and witness of the experience of duality, which is full of diversity and it is being present as waking or dream experience.

Instead of searching the truth within the experience of duality, one has to find and realize the fact that the true self is not ‘I’, but ‘I’ is the whole experience of duality. The invisible non-dual substance and witness of the ‘I’ is the true self which is the consciousness.

The self, which is spirit or consciousness  is like ocean and can absorb all the burden and bondage of the experience of duality. It is of no use to renounce the worldly life. But renounce the ‘I’ which is the whole experience of duality by accepting the formless non-dual witness as true self, and realize the fact that the whole experience of diversity is mere mirage created and witnessed by one and only substance which is spirit or consciousness. Therefore there is no second substance other than the spirit. Hence it is non-dual.

The truth is the spirit and the spirit is the true self. Therefore the ignorance is caused due to viewing and judging the worldview as person perceiving the world within the experience of duality. The self is within the experience of duality as its invisible substance and it is apart from the experience of duality as its invisible witness.  It is apart because; it is not an entity and identity within the experience of duality.

Without the witness there is no knowledge of appearance and disappearance of the three states, which appear and disappears in succession. Since every one of us are only aware of the physical entity, and the world, and firmly believe some greater power exists, and start worshiping that power with all sorts of forms or imaginary power house. Thus, one is caught up in the web of experience of duality, believing it as reality. 

There is no use of searching the truth as person within the world. No doubt the truth is hidden within the experience of duality, but not as an object but as the substance of the whole experience of duality. Searching the truth as a person by indulging in all sorts of practice or following paths or theorizing with imaginary or intellectual understanding is not of any use in unfolding the mystery or overcome the experience of duality. 

One has to trace the substance which is the source from where the experience of duality has erupted. And what sustains the experience and from where it appears and disappears. The knowledge of the true self is the wisdom. Only through wisdom it is possible to overcome the duality. Without wisdom, it is only imagination which leads to hallucinated realization.
