 ‘I’-awareness is not Atmic-awareness. ‘I’- awareness is an illusion. Atmic-awareness is ‘I’-less awareness, which is real and eternal.

‘I’-less awareness alone will overcome the illusion. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusion as reality. Only Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to Atmic-awareness.

Limiting 'I' to a waking entity is the main hurdle in the pursuit of truth. Therefore it is necessary for the seeker of truth to investigate ‘what is ‘I’, ’ to realize 'I' is not limited to the waking entity (you) but ‘I’ is the mind.

The mind is present in the form of the universe. And the universe appears as a waking or dream. Thus, ‘I’ is form, time, and space together.

When the 'Self; is neither the waking entity (ego) nor 'I', then 'WHO AM 'I'? - inquiry will not yield the full truth because it yields only the fallacy of the form, not time and space.

Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that the Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Consciousness is the formless substance and the witness of the ‘I’. The 'I' hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

When one recognizes the fact that, the Soul or consciousness pervades everywhere and in everything in all the three states then that very recognition leads to a total dissolution of ignorance and leads to nondual Atmic-awareness. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
