The experience of birth, life death, rebirth, and reincarnation takes place within the unreal universe.+

Sage Sankara declared: - The world is a myth and Brahman alone is real then why worship the guru and gods based on the ego, which is the false self of this false world.

When Sage  Sankara says:~ The world is unreal. He never said the body is unreal. He would have said only birth and death are unreal but he did not say that, he said the world is unreal. He meant the world including the body because the body and world appear together and disappear together [waking/dream]. Then we have to think, about what remains without the body and the world as reality.

How can birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation, which take place in the unreal world be true? 

The experience of birth, life death, rebirth, and reincarnation takes place within the unreal universe. The unreal universe appears as a waking or dream (duality) and disappears as the invisible Soul in deep sleep (non-duality). 

The one that appeared as waking or dream diapered as deep sleep is the invisible consciousness.

The Soul, the Self is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is unborn and eternal. Consciousness is the witness of the coming and going of the three states.

When the whole world is unreal then one has to realize the fact that, the body and ego are reality within the unreal world therefore, the body and the world are part of the falsehood, then what is the use of thinking on the body base when the self is not physical.

If a dream entity imagines in the dream that: - The self’s manifestation is in the brain. The passage from the Heart to the brain might be considered to be through the Sushumna, or nerve (Nadi) with some other name. The Sushumna or such Nadis are all comprised in Para, i.e. the Atma Nadi. --

– the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place.

Therefore if the waking entity thinks the same way in the waking experience:- The Self’s manifestation is in the brain. The passage from the Heart to the brain might be considered to be through the sushumna, or nerve (Nadi) with some other name. The sushumna or such Nadis are all comprised in Para, i.e. the Atma Nadi. ---

–--- the waking also becomes unreal when the waking entity realizes, it, itself is not the self. If the self is neither the waking entity, nor the self is a dream entity, but the self is the formless soul, which is the witness of the coming and going of the three states. From the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self, the three states are non-existent as reality.

Scientists now concluded that you are not the brain [body]. Consciousness requires the joint operation of the brain, body, and world. "You are not your brain. The brain, rather, is part of what you are."

The Biology of Consciousness

by Alva Noë. Hill and Wang, 2009

Alva Noe, a University of California, Berkeley, philosopher and cognitive scientist, argues that after decades of concerted effort on the part of neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers "only one proposition about how the brain makes us conscious ... has emerged unchallenged: we don't have a clue." The reason we have been unable to explain the neural basis of consciousness, he says, is that it does not take place in the brain. Consciousness is not something that happens inside us but something we achieve it is more like dancing than it is like the digestive process. To understand consciousness the fact that we think and feel and that a world shows up for us we need to look at a larger system of which the brain is only one element. Consciousness requires the joint operation of the brain, body, and world. "You are not your brain. The brain, rather, is part of what you are."

Thus, it is going in the right direction in its invention and one day it will declare that everything is consciousness, which Sage Sankara declared 1200 years back –everything is Ataman- because Ataman is in the form of consciousness. 

We have to know that Bhagavan Buddha, Sage Goudpad, and Sage Sankara are not only reformers but also the greatest sage scientists. Since their original thesis has been lost in the labyrinths of philosophy and mutilated by orthodoxy, it becomes very difficult to understand and assimilate the wisdom expounded by the great masters. 

In addition, the conservativeness of the scholars will not allow any research other than playing with the words, which suits the mass mindsets, because of their egocentric outlook.

Seeker has to do his own homework to understand and assimilate the real fragrance of the wisdom expounded by the great masters. It is a hurricane task. 

Thus, it is no use going through all the scriptures, when there is a direct path to non-dual truth. The same time and effort can be used to reach the non-dual destination, which takes less time and effort .:~Santthosh Kumaar
