Antahkarana belongs to individuals.

 

Q: I mean instead of I is the mind alone why not Antahkarana

It includes intellect ego chitta too

A-Santthosh Kumaar: ~  Identifying the ‘Self’ as ‘you’ is a great error. The Self is not you but the’ Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Antaḥkaraṇa refers to the “inner (mental) organ of an individual. Athma is not an individual because it pervades everywhere and everything in the illusory universe. Athma is the cause of the illusory universe. 

Antahkarana belongs to individuals. The individual exists within the illusory universe, which is present in the form of the mind. The individual is nothing to do with the Athma, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Whatever is based on an individual is a product of ignorance. Until the mystery of the universe is unfolded the Self hidden by the illusory universe will not be unfolded.

If you hold yourself as the real Self, it is impossible to get rid of ignorance. Realize yourself is the ego and the real Self is the Soul, which is the cause of the illusory universe in which you exist.

People mistake the ego for the mind. They limit the mind to an individual. It is an error and this mistake has to be rectified by a perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what.

The seeker has to know: whether the physical body and the world are within the mind or the mind is within the physical body.

The mind, physical body, ego, and the world are present only when the waking experience is present. And the mind is absent when the waking experience is absent.

Thus, one has to conclude the mind as the whole waking experience. Thus, the mind appears as the waking experience or the dreams (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality). All your arguments are true only on the base of the ego, which is the false Self, within the false experience (waking). The individual experiences within the waking are as real as a dream.

Remember:~

Advaitic wisdom can eliminate ignorance, but the ignorance it eliminates is not real because it has no existence of its own. Once the error is removed the hidden truth or Brahman will reveal of its own accord.

Sage Sankara explains that darkness and light are distinct from each other in their nature and in their functions. Darkness has no existence of its own; it is merely the absence of light. Whereas, the light is positive and helps vision. Darkness and light can neither coexist nor share their functions or nature. Darkness is an error that can be removed.

Sage Sankara states in his prologue, that the main purpose of the Upanishads is to provide the Knowledge(vidya) that will eliminate ignorance(Avidya).

Advaitic wisdom is not an intellectual construct (imagination) but a matter of realization.

Remember: ~

Know what this mind is in actuality. People mistake the ego for the mind. The illusion is not the projection of the mind.

The universe itself is the mind. You cannot get rid of the mind because without the mind the universe ceases to exist.

The mind is not an organ within the body but the mind is the whole universe.

It is high time to realize the mind is not within the body, but the body and the world are within the mind. The mind itself is an illusion.

Without knowing what is mind it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality).

The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness. Thus, all three states are nothing but consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and all three states are merely an illusion.

When the conviction about the consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of the duality.

Thus, it is necessary to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is hidden by the Mind, which is present in the form of the ‘I’.: ~Santthosh Kumaar
