Consciousness appears as ‘I’ and ‘I ’‘disappears as consciousness.+

There are no two ‘I’ as propagated by some Gurus. There is only one ‘I’, which appears and disappears. There is only one Soul, the Self.

All the Gurus glorified the ‘I’. Thus, it becomes very difficult to discard the ‘I’. Those who have accepted the ‘I-centric teaching refuse to accept anything other than their accepted truth.

Till you hold the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’, your knowledge remains skin deep.

The Soul, the Self is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness appears as the ‘I’ and 'I; disappear as Consciousness.

Do not make the mistake of holding the Self as ‘I’ because 'I' is not permanent. ‘I’ disappears as the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

‘I’ is an illusion. And consciousness, which is the cause of the illusory 'I' is real and eternal. Consciousness appears as ‘I’ and ‘I ’‘disappears as consciousness.

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

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘I’ itself is the illusory bondage because the ‘I’ itself is the cause of ignorance.

When the Self is not 'I' but the Soul then whatever is based on 'I' is a falsehood. First, make sure what the ‘Self’ is in actuality

The Soul, the Self is not ‘I’ but the Soul, the Self is the witness of the coming and going, of the ‘I’. Thus, that appears and disappears as ‘I’ is not the Self.

The seeker has to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be. The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes to realize the truth; which is beyond form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.

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.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take it as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. There is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

That is why Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-65-. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it, and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

People refuse to accept anything other than their Guru's words. For them, their Guru's words are the ultimate truth. They do not accept anything else other than their accepted truth. There is no need to convince such a mindset.

Such mindsets are not fit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seekers of truth accept only the truth nothing but the uncontradictable truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
