Your existence is a reality within the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion appears as the waking experience. All the happenings, happening to you are happening within the dualistic illusion.
All the good fortunes appear on their own, and also the sufferings appear on their own. You can prevent neither good fortune nor suffering.
Whatever is not going to happen in your life will not happen, try how hard you may. Whatever is going to happen in your life will happen, do what you may to stop it. This is certain. Remember this ~ your life is a reality within the dualistic illusion.
The best course, therefore, is to know the witness of the dualistic illusion is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The ‘Self’ is not you because you are the false self within the dualistic illusion. The ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is the witness of the coming and going of the dualistic illusion.
The dualistic illusion appears as ‘I’. The Self is not ‘I’ but the Soul, which witnesses of the coming and going of the ‘I’.
You are the sufferer and enjoyer within the dualistic illusion. Your sufferings and enjoyment have nothing to do with the Soul, the Self.
You are unaware of the fact that you are not the ‘Self’. You think the Self is within your body but it is an error. The ‘Self ‘is the Soul, which pervades everything everywhere in the world in which you exist.
You are the birth entity; you are bound by death whereas the Soul is birthless and deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
When the ‘Self is not you then without realizing what the ‘Self’ is supposed to be in actuality it is foolish to say ‘I AM THAT’.
The relationship and love, hate, happiness, and misery of the practical life within the practical world are connected to you they are not connected to the Soul, the Self. The Soul, the Self is beyond the form, time, and space and beyond the birth, life, death, and the world.
Thus, rest in consciousness by recognizing it as the innermost “Self”, which is God. And realize that practical life within the practical world is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth and the ultimate truth is God in truth.
Getting rid of the physical shackle (ignorance) is necessary to overcome the burden and bondage of the illusory samsara. Love and the relationship seem like reality in practical life within the practical world but they are merely an illusion from the ultimate standpoint. Thus, the game of life is merely a passing show.
If one realizes the truth hidden by the world in which he exists in this very life, and if here one knows it not, there is a great loss. Hence, seeing the reality hidden by ignorance Gnani realizes the immortal Self, which is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
