It is the illusion, which is present as mind or universe in which you exist as a person blinds you to realize the fact that "you are" not the self.




It is the illusion, which is present as mind or universe in which you exist as a person blinds you to realize the fact that "you are" not the self.  By investigating what is mind? “What is the substance of the mind?” and “What is the source of the mind? frees the “Self” from experiencing the illusion as reality.   The formless Soul, the innermost self is eternally free. 

The Soul” is the innermost self. Soul is alone and it is unique. Soul never was before; it never will be again because it is ever free from form, time and space.  The form, time  and space are one in essence.  And formless soul, which is consciousness, is the essence of the form, time and space.   Thus the there is no second thing exists other than consciousness. 

Even though there is the body, the  “Self” is not the body.  Even though “Self “is within the world, the “Self” is not of the world. The “Self” is within the world but it is not of the world. The formless soul is the innermost Self. The innermost self is in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the innermost self, witnesses the coming and going of the waking experience, which contains the man and his experience of the world. 

Consciousness is within the three states because it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states as their formless substance.   Consciousness is apart from the three states because it is formless witness of the three states. It is apart because it is not limited as an entity or identity or anything within the three states.  Identifying the consciousness as limited to form or identity is cause of the ignorance.   

Seeker of truth should not take some teaching or teacher as a yardstick.  Nobody is to judge you here and nobody can pretend to be judge other than your innermost self.  Seeker need not condemn any teacher or teaching but there is a need to know in what way their teaching blocks realization of ultimate truth or Brahman for his own information and such information has to be shared with other fellow seekers, which in truth helps them to realize, what is blocking their realization of ultimate truth or Brahman. 

The  individual experience  of  birth,life, death and the world are part of the illusion. Thus whatever is free from the illusion is reality. Thus it is necessary to realize the fact that, the "Self" is not the waking entity ,  in order to realize,  whatever seen,known ,experienced as waking entity  is bound to to be falsehood,  because the waking experience itself is falsehood.   Thus one has to get rid of the ignorance  to realize the form,time and space are mere illusion.

Ignorance is the cause of binding the soul, the innermost self to the illusory experience of form, time and space.  If ignorance vanishes through wisdom than illusory experience of form, time and space will never prevail again as reality.
