Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. Physical awareness is present in the form of 'I'.+

You, the world in which you exist belong to physical awareness. Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. Physical awareness is present in the form of 'I'. 'I' is present in the form of the universe. 'I'-awareness is illusory awareness.

Realize you, the universe in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of single stuff is Self-knowledge.

When a firm conviction of Self-knowledge becomes firmer in the subconscious then Self-awareness arises on its own.

When the Soul, the Self remains in its awareness: ~

What is this body?

What is the ego?

What is this universe?

What is the 'I'?

What is duality?

What is existence, nonexistence, unity, or duality?

What needs us there to say more?

Noting from the Soul because whatever seems to emanate from it, is non-different from itself.

There is no second thing other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. One should not mistake the Self (Soul) for the ‘I’.

Those who assert the world is a reality, are still in the elementary stages of the preliminary analysis.

The universe is a reality within the waking experience, but the waking experience itself is the dualistic illusion or Maya. In the same way, the dream world was a reality within the dream experience. The dream became unreal when the waking took place. In the same way, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Remember:~

Awareness is the non-dual nature of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness because there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, the Self.

Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Self–awareness is not physical awareness. Physical awareness is present as the waking or dream experience. And physical awareness disappears as deep sleep, which is also the state of ignorance.

Self-awareness or Brahmic awareness arises when wisdom dawns. Wisdom dawns when Soul the 'Self' becomes aware of itself in the midst of the form, time, and space (duality or waking) by realizing the form, time, and space are one in essence.

How can you see God without knowing what God is in actuality? When the ‘Self is not you how can you find God within you?

God is not within you. Those who say God is within you just propagating half-baked knowledge.

First, realize the ‘Self is not within you. You are bound by the experience of birth, life, death, and the world whereas the ‘Self is birthless and deathless because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist and it, itself is uncaused.

Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. From the standpoint of the Soul, Self the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, the world in which exists hides the Soul, which is God in truth.

Till you think the Soul, the 'Self’ is within you, you will never be able to realize God. God is not limited to you but it pervades everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
