The love, hate, and the world in which you exist are a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Love belongs to humanity. Humanity is a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Love has nothing to do with the Soul or the Spirit because it is ever nondual.
Love is possible in the domain of form, time, and space. Without form, time, and space love ceases to exist.
Form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe. The universe (I) is merely an illusion.
Love is very much necessary in practical life within the practical world.
Love implies duality. Whatever is of duality is a falsehood. Thus, love is a reality within the falsehood. Lover and love cease to exist in reality because the duality is not a reality.
The experience of practical life within the practical world is a reality within the waking experience, but the waking experience itself is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
Thus, lover, love, and the world are one, in essence. Thus, the path of love is a religious path because religion is the path of individuality.
The ‘Self’ is not an individual to love or hate. In reality, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Thus, there is no duality whereas love implies duality.
The ‘Self is the fullness of consciousness. The Soul, the Self, is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Humanism is limited to practical life within the practical world. The path of love is the path for humanity therefore, it is an individualized path.
The path of love is limited to the physical structure, it cannot transport one to the ultimate end.
Thus, the seeker has to understand that, from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the practical life, and the practical world are merely an illusion.
Love ceases to exist without consciousness. Thus, consciousness is prior to love. Consciousness is the ultimate truth and eternal.
Remember:~ People who think of a duty to the world to remove others' sufferings are thinking within the dualistic illusion or Maya.
People who think the world is full of suffering are also unaware their physical existence is limited to the dualistic illusion or Maya.
If one says this universe is real then:~
A person, who stamped his foot on the ground to refute to show the world, is real, ignores that in a dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.
If you say you have a flesh body in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when you realize the ‘Self is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
If the waking is unreal then your experience of birth, life, death, and the world within the waking experience also is unreal (illusion).
The question is based on the waking entity (you or ego). Whatever is based on the waking entity (ego) is based on the dualistic perspective.
You have to learn to view the worldview from the non-dualistic perspective then only you will be able to have the Soulcentric view of the worldview.
In Advaitic Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though the ego is present, the body is not considered as a body even though the body is present, and the world which confronts him is not considered as the world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, because of wisdom everything is considered as consciousness. Thus, there is conscious oneness.
Only in ignorance, the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self.
The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.
People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego and, therefore, experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the consciousness and he is fully aware that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness.
Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe.
Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
When Bhagavad Gita says, that God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, the whole universe and its contents are nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.
Sage Sankara says you must first know what is before you. If you cannot know that, what else can you know or understand? If you give up the external world in your inquiry, you cannot get the whole truth.
Chandogya Upanishad:~ One who meditates upon and realizes the 'Self' discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the Self.:~ Santthosh Kumaaar
