If the Self’ is not the ‘I’ then the seeker has to base the ‘Self’ on whatever prevails without the ‘I’.+

If one has understood 'I’ or ‘I AM ‘is not the Self and what really is ‘I’ or ‘I AM’, there is no necessity for the pursuit of truth. 

When in deeper self-search one becomes aware that, the ‘Self ‘is neither the body nor the ‘I’. 

If the Self’ is not the ‘I’ then the seeker has to base the ‘Self’ on whatever prevails without the ‘I’. 

Passing the opinion and judgment even after knowing the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’, is erroneous.

Holding the ‘I’ as the ‘Self’ and passing judgment and opinion based on the ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is only a hallucinated judgment based on the false self. This is because they have taken the false self as the real Self and the false experience (waking) as a reality.

The seeker has to drop all his egocentric accumulated knowledge and only then he is fit to grasp the Self-knowledge.

Read repeatedly, think and reason deeply reflect constantly only on the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing exists other than consciousness. Consciousness is everywhere and it is everything. 

Consciousness alone is real and the world in which you exist is an illusion. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious. 

As the conviction about the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, becomes firm in the subconscious, the Soul becomes free from the cage of the dualistic illusion.

Only your intense urge to know the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

I can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. 

Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.

It takes time for the seeker to gain a perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘’what is untruth’. 

It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Reading my posts and blogs repeatedly helps you to get a yardstick for the subconscious to judge ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘what is untruth’ and replace the truth in the place of the untruth.  

Remember:~

In pursuit of truth, the ultimate truth has to be proved, not assumed. Pundits who take scriptures for granted are not Gnanis.

Pundits teach that all is yourself but none of them can show that this is so, none has analyzed it scientifically, and none can prove it.

Rational proof is needed so that one arrives at knowing truth i.e. wisdom; punditry is mere dogma, parrotism, and repetition of what they read in scripture. Scripters are not yardsticks and the scriptural truth is not proof.

Pundits take scripters as an authority. Authoritarianism merely assumes as true what another says, but what has yet to be proved.

Pundits have to test the truth in this world, not in the next world. There is no proof other than blind belief based on the scriptures, belief is not the truth. So, doctrines are not the means to realize the ultimate truth. There is no need to follow them.

Remember;~

 An ignorant person has many desires in his mind, and because of these desires, he remains in the realm of duality. He has to have a body; otherwise, he cannot satisfy his desires. But the more he tries to satisfy them, the more they grip his ego. This goes on endlessly. But it is given to a human being to think, reason, and discriminate.

Thus, he soon comes to realize that the path he has been following cannot give him satisfaction. He understands that he has to choose another path the path of wisdom or the path of truth. 

As long as he does not take the path of Gnana or wisdom, he gropes in ignorance and experiences the dualistic illusion r Maya (universe) as reality. 

From the ultimate standpoint, the karma theory has no meaning because the Soul the 'Self' is prior to the body and the world.

The body and the world are impermanent; whereas the Soul in the form of consciousness is permanent.

The Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is dream entity but the Self the formless Soul. The Soul is the formless substance and witness of the three states.

Waking and dreams are insentient. Consciousness gives sentient to the waking or dream. Without consciousness the waking or dreams are nonexistent.

The dream is nonexistent when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking is nonexistent when the soul wakes up in its formless nondual true nature. 

The waking or dream both are an illusion from the standpoint of the Soul, the 'Self', which is present in the form of consciousness. :~~Santthosh Kumaar
