If the “Self ” is not body, then how can the
body take the authorship of the invisible entity, which functions itself as the
body and perceives the world, as a person within the waking or dream?
Thus if one takes authorship as body as self,
it will be a false claim. The individual experiences within the world are
within the waking or dream. The formless soul, which is in the form of consciousness, is
the witness of the mind, which is in the form of universe. and universe appears as waking or dream. Thus the mind is mere
mirage created out of the consciousness. On the standpoint of the consciousness, the
three states are mere mirage. The substance and witness of the mirage is formless consciousness(soul) real
and eternal.
Thus the onus is on person who
dispute, has to prove that the burden of the three states is on the individual
physical entity.
The question based on the ego or waking entity
is of no use because the waking entity or ego is false self within the false experience Therefore, one has to make sure of the fact that, whether 'Self ', is
the physical body(waking entity) or 'self', is something other than the physical body(waking entity) .
Otherwise find what is it that
functions as body and perceives the world, as a person, without that invisible inner most self the body cannot function and perceive the world.
If one mentally traces the formless witness of the three states ,
then he will know the the three states are not witnessed by the waking entity(ego) , but it is witnessed by the formless soul or consciousness, the innermost self. Therefore on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness, the innermost self one will be able to decide the self is neither the waking entity nor the self is dream entity but the self is the formless soul which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.. If one makes little mental
effort through inquiry and reasoning, he will able to move towards the
effortless state, which is natural state of the mind.
One has to question himself: what is
it that functioning as body and perceives the world as person. If person is not
the experience of person, then what is it that experiences itself as person?
These seeds of doubts will help one to peel the illusion and, there will be no
illusion left, only non-dual reality will prevail as ultimate truth, which is
the soul or consciousness .
Thus, It is for the seeker to discover and realize the "Self" is not the form but "Self" is formless soul , no one else
can realize it for him. on the stand point of the formless soul or consciousness, the innermost self , the body and the world are mere mirage created of the consciousness.
