Some Gurus say surrender your Soul to God. But the Soul is not different from God because the Soul itself is God. There is no second God other than the Soul.
There is no difference between the Soul and God belonging to religion and yoga. Religion and yoga are nothing to do with Spirituality or Adyathma.
Sage Sankara says:~ ‘He who knows the Brahman (God in truth) is one and the Soul, the ‘Self’ is another, does not know Brahman or God on truth.”
The Atman or the Soul, the Self is present in the form of consciousness.
Consciousness is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to show their absence.
What is not consciousness (formless) in waking, dream, or deep sleep? The waking and the dream cease to exist without consciousness. The Soul (witness and the three states (witnessed) are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, the seeker, seeking and his destination all are one in essence.
There is only a need to realize the whole universe in which we exist is created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, and the universe is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
Thus from the ultimate standpoint, no second thing exists other than consciousness. Therefore, consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5). :~Santthosh Kumaar
