The ‘I’ did not exist as ‘I’ before its appearance, nor will the ‘I’ exist as ‘I’ after its disappearance.
The ‘I’ appears and disappears its nature is not permanent.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then three states, are bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.
If 'I’ is an illusion then the individual experience of birth, life, and death is bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the words and thoughts are bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the duality is bound to be an illusion.
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
Before the appearance of the ‘I’, it was the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, and after the disappearance of the ‘I’ it prevails as the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’, comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self.
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 'I' as real because some Gurus have propagated that the Self is the ‘I’. is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
