So long as one thinks “I am” is the self”, thoughts of
liberation and bondage will remain. When seeker realizes through deeper self-search the self is neither the waking entity nor the self is the dream entity but the self is the formless witness of the three states. The formless soul or consciousness is the formless substance and witness of the three states. ”soul or consciousness alone remains, eternally attained and eternally free. The one who realize the ‘I is not the self
but soul is the true self for him the illusory thought of burden bondage ceases to exist as reality.
The general supposition amongst most seekers is that sannyasa demonstrates one’s commitment to following the spiritual path full time, and by extension, somehow makes it easier to meditate and realize the Self. But it is not so that the inner(mental) renunciation is more important than outer(physical) renunciation which is based on the body or ego.
One need accept the generally accepted premise that sannyasins were in a better position to realize the Self than householders. Living a normal life in the world is not a disadvantage when it comes to making spiritual progress.
Nondualistc Peace can never be attained by one who subjects himself to ignorance by embracing the illusory body and the world(waking), regarding them as enduring and beneficial. Equally, suffering or fear will never be experienced by one who renounces ignorance and reaches the permanent resting place of the mind, which is soul or consciousness.
What is it that remains as impossible to renounce after all that can be renounced has been renounced? It is the Soul or consciousness the true Self, which cannot be renounced.
