You, your experience of birth, life, death, and the world, is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.+

When you have searched for the truth in all the mountains, in all the ashrams, in all the pilgrimages, in all the books, in all the teachings, in all religions, in all the scriptures, and in all types of yogic practices and by glorifying the Gurus and Gods yet you fail to find it then finally you will realize the fact that there is nothing left to investigate other than the Self.

When you finally realize the ‘Self ‘ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Thus, you, your experience of birth, life, death, and the world, is merely an illusion created out of consciousness,  consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

You are not the witness because the ‘Self' is not you. The Self is the Soul, which witnesses the world, in which you exist. The world is merely an illusion thus, you are part of the illusion.

In reality, the Soul and the world in which you exist are one, in essence. Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what,’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is truth?” and ‘What is the untruth?. Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Advaitic -awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
