The ‘Self’ is birthless and deathless because it is formless, timeless and spaceless existence****

On the dualistic perspective, people who see the world in which they exist as a reality.   They see their body as the body, their ego as the ego and the world in which they exist as  the world whereas a Gnani sees everything on the nondualistic perspective.  A Gnani sees his body as the consciousness, his ego as consciousness, the world in which he exist as the consciousness. For a Gnani, whatever seen, known, believed and experienced is nothing but consciousness.  There is unity in diversity in Gnani understanding whereas the ignorant people see only diversity and separation.

Thus it is necessary to learn to view and judge the worldview on the nondualistic perspective in order to realize the form, time and space are one in essence.   There is nothing to realize other than realizing the consciousness is everything. The consciousness is second to none.  

When everything is nothing but the consciousness then what remains which is not the consciousness.

The ignorance is the cause of the world in which you exist.  The world in which you exist ceases without the ignorance. The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion.  The world in which you exist appears as waking experience (duality and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). 

The ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going,  of the three states.

You are born within the dualistic illusion, you are living within the dualistic illusion and you are going to die within the dualistic illusion.

Ignorance is the cause of experiencing illusion as a reality.  Take for illustration, the dream was experienced as a reality and the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place.   Similarly, the waking experience becomes unreal when you realize the fact that the ‘‘Self’’ is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.  

In reality, there is no seeker, no seeking no goal, only a union that transcends the form, time, and space.   In reality, the subject (Soul) and object (mind) are one, in essence. 

The ‘Self is not you because you are born within the dualistic illusion, you are living within the dualistic illusion and you are going to die within the dualistic illusion.

The ‘Self’ is birthless and deathless because it is formless, timeless and spaceless existence. Thus, the one, which is born, lives and dies within the world is not the’ Self’, because the world in which you exist the dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’, which is the Soul.  The Soul is present in the form of the consciousness. The Soul is the cause of this world and it itself is uncaused.  

The Self is realized only when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you,  but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.   The world in which you exist exists because of the consciousness.  On the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’, the world in which you exist is mere an illusion created out of itself. Thus, the world in which you exist is nothing but the consciousness.  Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness alone, is real and eternal all else is mere a dualistic illusion created out of the consciousness

It is time to discard the ‘I’.***

 The Soul is the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of the consciousness.  The nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, is awareness. The all-pervading consciousness is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material in the world in which we exist.

The consciousness is the cause of the world in which we exist and it itself is uncaused. The consciousness alone is real and eternal, and the world in which we exist is mere an illusion created out of the consciousness. 

Everyone is holding some teaching or teacher or their accepted truth as a yardstick. All the accumulated egocentric knowledge inadequate or useless  in unfolding the mystery of the mind or universe.

The ‘I’ is inborn samskara or conditioning, because of this inborn samskara or conditioning one has accepted the ‘I’ as the ‘‘Self’’, he is ignorant of the fact that the ‘I’ itself’ is the cause of ignorance. Because of this ‘I’   he has accepted illusion as a reality.   Therefore, there is a need to realize ‘what is this ‘I’?’  in actuality. Without knowing ‘what is this ‘I’?’ in actuality it is impossible to unfold the hidden truth which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Till you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never be able to get Self-realization.  ‘I’ hides the Soul, which is the innermost Self. ‘

'I’ is ignorance.

‘I’ is the duality.

‘I’ is the form, time, and space.

‘I’ is the universe.

‘I’ is the waking.

‘I’ is the dream.

‘I’ is the illusion.

‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death and the world.

Without the ‘I’ there is no ignorance.

Without the ‘I’ there is no duality.

Without the ‘I’ there is no form, time, and space.

Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.

Without the ‘I’ there is no waking.

Without the ‘I’ there is no dream.

Without the ‘I’ there is no illusion.

Without the ‘I’ there is no experience of birth, life, death and the world.

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The ‘I’ hides the truth.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say ‘I,’  If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

It is time to discard the ‘I’. Never use the word the ‘I’ or I AM for the Self.
