You, your body, and the world in which you exist are created out of single clay and that clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.+

For the Soul, the Self: ~

What are projection and retraction?

What are the end and means?

What are the failure and success?

~ to the formless Soul, which is formless, timeless, and spaceless in its nature. The illusory world that appears and merges back into its essence is not an appearance at all.

What is the knower the means of knowledge, the object of knowledge?

what is anything or nothing?:~

~ to the Soul, the Self, which is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless.

Knower, knowledge, object, thing, nothing or any word one may utter is after all they are the words and words have meaning only within the illusion. Consciousness is ever present in all three states but as a person, one is unconscious of consciousness because he thinks the Self is his body.

When all-knowing, known, and knower are simultaneously mental as in the dream what else is there to trouble about understanding them. Because one considers the waking experience, as a reality one is incapable of understanding and assimilating the Advaitic truth.

What is the distraction?

What are the concentration, dullness ad delusion, happiness, and sorrow?

~ to the Soul, which is ever actionless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless.

As a person, one may be drawn to observe his body and the world, but the Gnani is not disturbed because he has realized his body and his experience of the world are made of consciousness.

The physical attributes are nothing to do with the Soul, the innermost Self wrongly; all the attributes belong to the ego, not the Soul. Identifying the physical attribute to the Soul is the cause of ignorance.

Remember:~

Some Gurus say the Self is not the body but they speak of five senses which belong to the body. The body belongs to you because you are bound by birth, life, and death whereas the Soul is birthless and deathless, because, the Soul, is a formless, timeless spaceless existence.

You, your body, and the world in which you exist are created out of single clay and that clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Self is not 'you' -means the ‘Self’ is not the body. If the Self is not the body then what is the use of controlling the sense organs.

It is necessary to realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul has no organs because the Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Some gurus propagate by control of the senses leading to Self-realization. By controlling the senses the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of ignorance, the world in which you exist prevails as reality.

The universe is the product of ignorance. The five senses (body) are nothing to do with the Soul the Self, because the Soul the Self is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

From the standpoint of the Soul the Self, the universe in which the body (you) exist is merely an illusion.

The Soul, the ‘Self’’ is not visible to the physical eyes. The Soul, the ‘Self’ is not to be found in the world as a thing or as an entity or an object. The Soul, the ‘Self ‘is above these and has neither beginning nor ending because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The dream universe and the five sense (dream body) becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking experience in which you and the waking world exist becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. The wisdom dawns when the Soul remains in its own awareness in the midst of the duality(waking).

Sage Sankara says:~VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

Deliberate exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real renunciation. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
