Ignorance of the innermost self makes one remain in the realm of physicality. Formless Consciousness or Atman is the innermost self. Consciousness is the formless substance and witness of the duality (form, time and space or universe). In ignorance one is bound to experience the duality (universe or waking) as reality.
The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal, when the non-dual wisdom dawns in the midst of duality. Non-dual wisdom dawns when the waking entity realizes it is not the self but the self is the formless substance and witness of the three states.
The formless substance and witness of the three states are one in essence and that essence is the consciousness. Thus, there is no second thing exists other than consciousness, which is the innermost self. Thus, the consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Realizing the consciousness or Atman as the innermost self is self-realization. Thus, Knowledge of the true self is Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

When one realizes the body and the world are one in essence
and that essence is consciousness than the self is in its own awareness of its formless non-dual true nature in the midst of duality (waking).
In the state of Gnana the body is not considered as the body, ego is not considered as ego, the world is not considered as world, the thoughts are not considered as thoughts and words are not considered as words, but they are mere mirage created out of consciousness. The words are the expression of thoughts when the thoughts and words are one in essence then there is no scope for any second thing to exist other than consciousness. Thus, the ultimate truth or Brahman has to be grasped mentally until the words and thoughts will merge in their essence and thinking faculty becomes consciously still in the midst of diversity [waking].
Consciousness is objectless awareness. The light of that awareness falls on waking or dream ~ but ‘self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity. As long as self is identified as the waking entity the ignorance will prevail. As long as ignorance prevails the illusion is experienced as reality. As long as the illusion is experienced as reality the words are necessary for communication and also to understand and assimilate and realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Ego is the identification of consciousness within the waking or dream. As soon as the waking entity drops all identification, then the ‘Self only pure knowing. ‘Self’ is pure awareness. ‘Self ‘is purely Brahman or Christ or Buddha.
By deeper self-search the ‘Ego’ begins to return to its
source. That it is journeying from ignorance towards wisdom. The moment of liberation is coming closer.
