Sage Sankara says once the error is removed the Brahman (God in truth) will reveal its own accord.+

Sage Goudpada says:~ The merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect, while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect. The karma based on the false self is not a qualification for Self-Realization.

Thus, it proves that the Advaitic wisdom is kept away from religious people who are of lower and middling intellect and made them indulge in karma and Upasana. Thus all religious prescription is not meant for Self-Realization.

There are two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the more advanced seeker who seeks to know the truth beyond the form, time, and space. The Religious orthodoxy is meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. The Atmic path emphasizes on that Advaitic wisdom is meant for those who wish to go beyond form, time, and space.

The conduct-oriented religious orthodoxy is not the means to Self-Realization because all the orthodox theories are based on the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality whereas the world in which the birth, life, and death take place is an illusion.

Religion is for the lower intellect and Advaitic wisdom is for those who are capable of inquiring into their own existence to know and realize the ultimate truth, which is consciousness.

That is why Sage Sankara gave religious, ritual, and dogmatic instruction to the populace, but Advaitic wisdom only to the few who could rise to it.

If you mix Advaitic orthodoxy with Advaitic wisdom create confusion, because they mix up the two viewpoints. Thus, they may assert that ritual is a means of realizing Brahman, which is absurd.

Mundaka Upanishad: ~ “These performers of karma do not know the Truth owing to their attachment, they fall from heaven, misery-stricken when the fruit of their work is exhausted.

Arguing with religious believers is fruitless. Belief in tradition and the scripture as if they were true or factual quite clearly is delusion, but the payoff for holding such delusions is, for those who hold them, extremely compelling ~ the avoidance of the "wrath of God," the hope of heaven or salvation, or the imagined "end of suffering."

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10) - Ignorant fools, regarding sacrifices and humanitarian works as the highest, do not know any higher good. Having enjoyed their reward on the heights of heaven, gained by good works, they enter again this world or a lower one.

Religious orthodox think that through their good karma and performing rituals they get moksha. Religious moksha is based on the birth entity whereas spiritual moksha is based on the birthless Soul, the ‘Self’.

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (9) - Children, immersed in ignorance in various ways, flatter themselves, saying: We have accomplished life's purpose. Because these performers of karma do not know the Truth owing to their attachment, they fall from heaven, misery-stricken, when the fruit of their work is exhausted.

Indulging in Non -Vedic rituals(Puranic Rituals) in place of Vedic rituals are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." Thus Puranic karmas are not Vedic karmas as per Yajur Veda.

The Puranic karmas are introduced to suit the mass mindset of that time, by the founders of present-day Hinduism by keeping the Vedas as their base. They also introduced a new modified belief system on Puranic Gods with a new code of conduct to revive the Vedic religion, which was in ruins in the hands of Buddhism and Jainism. Thus present-day Hinduism with diverse beliefs is not pure Vedic religion.

Thus, this hotchpotch ideology is the grtotest obstacle in the realization of ultimate truth. That is why Bhagavan Buddha rejected the Vedas.

Sage Sankara says: ~ 11- As regards the rituals, the person who performs rituals and aspires for rewards will view himself in terms of the caste into which he is born, his age, the stage of his life, his standing in society, etc. In addition, he is required to perform rituals all through his life. However, the Self has none of those attributes or tags. Hence, the person who superimposes all those attributes on the changeless, eternal Self and identifies Self with the body is confusing one for the other; and is, therefore, an ignorant person. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are therefore addressed to an ignorant person. (Adhyasa Bhashya)

Sage Sankara says :~ 11.1-The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are, therefore, he says, addressed to an ignorant person. (Adhyasa Bhashya)

Sage Sankara says:~ 11.2- In short, a person who engages in rituals with the notion “I am an agent, doer, thinker”, according to Sage Sankara, is ignorant, as his behavior implies a distinct, separate doer/agent/knower; and an object that is to be done/achieved/known. That duality is Avidya, an error that can be removed by Vidya. (Adhyasa Bhashya)

Sage Sankara viewed this as a distortion of the Upanishad ideals. To play down the prominence given to rituals by the Mimamsakas, Sage Sankara relied on the idea of Avidya He bracketed the ritualistic approach with Avidya and called it an “error”.

Thus Advaitic orthodoxy has to be discarded to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’, which is ignorance.

Sage Sankara states wisdom (Vidya) can eliminate ignorance (Avidya); but the ignorance it eliminates is not real, because it has no existence of its own. Once the error is removed the Brahman (God) will reveal in its own accord. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

If you search for the truth then you will find only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.+

A person thinks he is an individual separate from the world and he is born in this world and the world existed prior to him.

Until this conviction is there he will not be able to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. And 99% of people are unable to overcome this conditioning because they are stuck in ‘I-centric' Advaitic teachings which are based on a dualistic perspective. Thus, they will never be able to cross-domain of the ‘I’.

People get intoxicated with ‘I-centric’ Gurus and their teaching and indulge in an argument without realizing they have not reached an ultimate understanding.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

First, you must make sure the ‘I’ itself is illusory because the ‘I’ is not permanent.

No second thing existed prior to the appearance of the ‘I’ and ‘I’ never exists now and also ‘I’ never exists in the future. The ‘I’ is merely an illusory appearance.

Let you be clear on one thing. The ‘I’ is mere a dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. but in the reality, ‘I’ neither exists in the past nor exists now, nor going to exist in the future.

Whatever existed in the past and whatever exists now and whatever is going to exist in the future is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Whatever has appeared as ‘I’ is nothing but consciousness? The ‘I’ has no value because it is merely an illusion.

If you search for the truth then you will find only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘I’ is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself. :~ Santthosh Kumaar

When the 'I' is impermanent, what is it that permanent which is aware of the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?+

The seeker has to make sure his views and judgment based on the ego will not yield truth hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion.

The seeker has to learn to view and judge the worldview from the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’ then only he will be able to unfold the mystery hidden by the dualistic illusion(universe).

What is there to discuss and argue and exchange opinions?

If one is seeking truth there is no need to discuss no need to argue but read and think and reason deeply the truth will start revealing on its own. Be an independent thinker.

Do not accept anything without verification the seeker should not argue and waste his time. The argument will not yield truth.

Only the intellectuals argue to exhibit their intellectual wealth.

The intellectual argument is based on ego. Egocentric intellectuality is limited to form, time, and space. The truth you are seeking is based on the Soul.

The Soul is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. Thus, what is the use of egocentric argument in the soulcentric discussion?

Neither the religious views, the yogic view, the scientific views, the atheistic views nor the intellectual views are tenable to unfold the mystery of the ‘I’.

Whatever is based on the ‘I’ is egocentric. The egocentric judgments yield only dualistic judgment.

Whenever the ‘I’ is present the duality is bound to be there. If the duality is present the ignorance is bound to be there. If ignorance is there the illusion is experienced as a reality.

If the illusion is experienced as a reality then the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as a reality.

Attachment to the Soul, the ’Self’, and detachment from the ‘I’’( world) is the key to freedom and salvation.

Every one of us is attached to the 'I', which holds the whole universe. And the universe hides the truth. The 'I' is present in the form of the mind. The mind is in the form of the universe. The universe appears as a waking or dream (duality). and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality). The 'I' is impermanent.

Just think and reason deeply:~

Why the 'I', does not disappear even after inquiry, even if one knows intellectually 'I' am not the body?

If the 'I', is not the body, what is 'I', without the body?

How can the 'I', remain as 'I', without the body?

Where 'I', disappeared in deep sleep?

What is it that knows, the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?

When the 'I' is impermanent, what is it that permanent which knows the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?

How can one remain as 'I', when it is impermanent and judge the eternal truth, which is not the 'I'?

The seeker of the truth has to find what is eternal and what is impermanent to decide whether the 'I' or duality is permanent or the Soul, the witness of the 'I', is permanent? to overcome the illusion and establish the non-dualistic reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Karma means action. Action leads to believing the illusory experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality, not to perception of reality.+

Karma means action. Action leads to believing the illusory experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality, not to perception of Reality.

The realization of Truth is brought about by discrimination and not in the least by individual conduct and actions.

Remember:~

Sage Sankara: ~ “Action (karma) cannot destroy ignorance, for it is not in conflict with or opposed to ignorance. Knowledge does verily destroy ignorance as light destroys deep darkness. -Atma Bodha

The Karma theory is a religious fable. The Karma theory is based on the birth entity whereas the Self is birthless and deathless because it is the ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Karma is the product of ignorance. because karma is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space. Form, time, and space are present only when ignorance is present.

From the standpoint of the Soul, form, time, and space are an illusion. Thus, whatever karma is performed within the domain of the form, time and space is an illusion.

If you are seeking truth then do not get stuck up in the karma theory which is meant for the ignorant populace.

From the standpoint of the birthless Soul, the Self Self, the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is merely an illusion. Thus, the karma done on the illusory Self within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion.

Remember:~

Karma (Action) will not dispel ignorance itself. Karma itself is based on ignorance Only Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana will destroy ignorance.

The person who bases on the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is trying to find the meaning of life. There is no meaning or purpose in life because life is merely happening within the universe, which is a dualistic illusion or Maya.

Thus, the Karma Theory based on the physical entity is based on birth, life, and death, which is part and parcel of the dualistic illusion:~

Karma implies duality. From the ultimate standpoint, duality is an illusion.

People's observation is based on the dualistic perspective, whereas a Gnanis judgment is based on the nondualistic (Soul or consciousness) perspective. What is the use of discussing karma, which takes place within the unreal world? Instead, one has to find how this world is unreal (illusion).

In Atmic discussion, the form, time, and space (universe) are merely an illusion. Karma is possible within the scope of the experience of form, time, and space (universe).

That is why Sage Goudpada said:~ The merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect, while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

When the Self is not the form, but the Self is formless then whose karma. The one which is born lives and dies is not the Self then the question of karma does not arise. The waking entity (you) is the false self within the false experience (waking).

Thus whatever action and inaction, past, present, and future belong to the waking experience, which is falsehood.

What happens to the dream entity which did good karma in the dream world it died and reincarnated in the next life, and suffers, but when waking takes place, the dream becomes unreal.

The waking becomes unreal when the waking entity (you) realizes the fact that it itself (you), is not the Self but the Self is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states in succession.

Thus, neither karma of the waking entity nor the karma of the dream entity has meaning because the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is the dream entity but the Self is the Soul.

You are not the Self because you are the birth entity; you are bound by form, time, and space whereas the Self is unborn and eternal then how does karma theory have any meaning when the karma theory is based on the false Self (you) and false experience (world).

The karma theory is a religious fable meant for the people who are fully immersed in the practical life and practical world believing the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality. If Self is unborn eternal then what values the karma theory will have because it is based on birth, life, death, and rebirth.

The karma theory is merely a religious and yogic fable.

Sage Ramana Maharishi J. Krishnamurti, and Nisargadatta Maharaj, all died of cancer-type illness. It does not make any difference if they died of cancer or not cancer or any illness. Even Lord Krishna died a painful death. Death is a certain cause of death that is irrelevant to a Gnani.

When the Self is birthless then it is deathless A Gnani is unconcerned about death because he is fully aware that the illusion is only a passing show.

Thus the karma theory is nothing to do with the birthless Self. Thus people’s painful death cannot be taken as evidence because the Self is ever deathless because it is birthless because it is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The karmic account is never ending because one has to be born again and again to reap his good or bad karma carried forward from one life to the next. The karma theory is merely a religious and yogic fable.

Sage Sankara says in Aparoksh Anubhuti:- “88. When the whole universe, movable and immovable, is known to be Atman, and thus the existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say that the body is Atman?

89. O enlightened one, pass your time always contemplating on Atman while you are experiencing all the results of Prarabdha; for it ill becomes you to feel distressed.

90. The theory one hears of from the scripture, that Prarabdha does not lose its hold upon one even after the origination of the knowledge of Atman, is now being refuted.

91. After the origination of the knowledge of Reality, Prarabdha verily ceases to exist, inasmuch as the body and the like become non-existent; just as a dream does not exist on waking.

92. That Karma which is done in a previous life is known as Prarabdha (which produces the present life). But such Karma cannot take the place of Prarabdha (for a man of knowledge), as he has no other birth (being free from ego).

93. Just as the body in a dream is superimposed (and therefore illusory), so is also this body. How could there be any birth of the superimposed (body), and in the absence of birth (of the body) where is the room for that (i.e., Prarabdha) at all?

94. The Vedanta texts declare ignorance to be verily the material (cause) of the phenomenal world just as the earth is of a jar. That (ignorance) being destroyed, where can the universe subsist?

95. Just as a person out of confusion perceives only the snake leaving aside the rope, so does an ignorant person see only the phenomenal world without knowing the reality?

96. The real nature of the rope being known, the appearance of the snake no longer persists; so the substratum being known, the phenomenal world disappears completely.

97. The body also being within the phenomenal world (and therefore unreal), how could Prarabdha exist? It is, therefore, for the understanding of the ignorant alone that the Shruti speaks of Prarabdha.

98. “And all the actions of a man perish when he realizes that (Atman) which is both the higher and the lower”. Here the clear use of the plural by the Shruti is to negate Prarabdha as well.

99. If the ignorant still arbitrarily maintain this, they will not only involve themselves in two absurdities but will also run the risk of forgoing the Vedantic conclusion. So one should accept those Shrutis alone from which proceeds true knowledge.

The above proves that karma is reality only on the base of the false self, where one thinks body and the universe as reality. When one becomes aware of the fact that, the true Self is the formless Soul, then karma becomes part and parcel of illusion.

If one accepts the karma theory as a reality, he will never be able to come out of ignorance. And ignorance makes him believe the cycle of birth, life, and death as a reality.

Thus, the freedom which one is seeking will remain a distant dream. For the one who accepts birth life and death as a reality, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana is impossible. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

What is the use of inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’ when the ‘Self’ is not He or She?+

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. The Soul is the substratum of the universe.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The universe raises from the Soul, the Self like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and enter into the state of dissolution."

You are not the ‘Self’ because you are mortal. You are mortal because you are bound by the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness and is immortal because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The one that is in ignorance is the Soul; the one that has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance is the Soul, the Self.

The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Without the illusion, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone will prevail as the ultimate reality or Brahman. Thus, consciousness is Brahman.

Self-realization is necessary to realize ‘what is truth and ‘what is untruth.

Self-realization is to realize the 'Self' is not you, but the 'Self' is the Soul, which is the substance and witness of the world in which you exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the world, in which you exist is merely an illusion. The world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Self is not limited to you, but it is the cause of the world in which you exist.

What is the use of inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’ when the ‘Self’ is not He or She?

The Self-inquiry is not for finding out 'Who AM I?’

The Self-inquiry is for finding out the fact that, the ‘Self' is not the ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul, which witnesses the 'I'.

The world in which you exist is present only when the 'I' is present.

Without the 'I', the whole world, in which you exist ceases to exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.

If the world is an illusion then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In reality, your existence as an individual is non-existent as a reality.

Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what' leads to Advaitic Self-awareness. :~Santthosh Kumaar

Reincarnation is based on ignorance. Reincarnation is a religious fable based on the birth entity.+

People who believe in reincarnation and rebirth theories are unaware of the fact that their belief is based on a waking entity, which is the false self (ego)within the false experience(waking).

The waking entity(you) itself is a false self (ego) within the false experience(waking), which means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a falsehood.

Thus whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a waking entity is bound to be a falsehood, because the Soul, the ‘Self’ is birthless, because it is formless. Therefore, the rebirth and reincarnation theory based on the false self is bound to be a falsehood.

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified to receive Advaitic wisdom or Self’-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted duality as reality. Birth implies duality and duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.

Accepting rebirth and reincarnation theory as reality is accepting false ‘Self’ (waking entity or ego) as real ‘Self’ and false experience (waking) as reality.

Self-realization is an impossibility if one accepts the present waking entity as the real ‘Self’ because the ‘Self’ is neither the waking entity nor the ‘Self’ is a dream entity, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states without the physical apparatus.

Remember:~

Dalai Lama said: ~ Buddhism need not be the best religion, though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama [Soul] and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulburga).

Reincarnation is based on ignorance. Reincarnation is a religious fable based on the birth entity (ego). The experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a reality only from the dualistic perspective.

From the non-dualistic perspective, there is really no reincarnation at all, either now or before. Nor will there be any hereafter. This is the truth.

Religion propagated reincarnation happens to the individual Soul after the death of the body. Some claim that the Soul goes to heaven or hell while others claim that it is reincarnated in a new body.

Reincarnation theories are based on the imagination based on the birth entity. The birth entity is the false self within the illusory world (dualistic world). Religion is dualistic because religion holds s the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. Religion holds the Soul as an individual and the Soul is within the body. All the religious and yogic theories are based on the ego, which is the false self within the false experience.

From the non-dualistic perspective, the reincarnation theories collapse. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, there is no birth or death, no heaven or hell, and no reincarnation

Religious people who are unable to assimilate the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, think that reincarnation is true. If one imagines on the base of the ego (birth entity) then he would imagine would new body and a new life in the new world.

Once the one realizes the ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’ but ‘Self’ is the Soul then the ‘I’ cease to be a reality ceases and the unreality of the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world is exposed. All theories about birth, life death, the world, and reincarnation belong to the dualistic illusion.

The Self is birthless, therefore, it is deathless. The one which is born lives and dies within the world (waking) is you not the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of Consciousness.

The idea of reincarnation is based on the birth entity (waking entity or ego) which lives and dies within the illusory world (waking). The Self is the one who witnesses the coming and going, of the dual (waking or dream) nondual (deep sleep) experiences.

When the experience of birth, life, and death takes place in the illusory universe then rebirth or recantation also is part of the same illusory universe or Maya.

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. Advaitic Wisdom dawns when the Soul, the Self, consciously remains awake in its formless nondual nature.

When the substance and the witness of the three states are one in essence and that essence is consciousness, then the universe in, which the experience of birth, life, death, and reincarnation happens has no value.

Even if you take reincarnation as a reality, reincarnation happens within the world but from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self the world is merely an illusion.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the 'Self' the world in which we are born is merely an illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Rebirth and reincarnation are nothing to do with the Soul,the Self, which is unborn eternal.+

The rebirth and reincarnation theory is based on the ego, which is the false self within the false experience (waking). The Soul, the Self has no birth; therefore, it has no death.

When birth, life, and death are reality within the illusory universe or Maya then rebirth and reincarnation are reality within the illusory universe or Maya. Since man has immersed himself in believing the illusory universe as reality, he is unaware of the ultimate truth, which is hidden by ignorance.

Only the birth entity believes in rebirth and reincarnation. The one which is born, lives, and dies within the illusory world is not the Self. The Self is the Soul, which is unborn and eternal.

The Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the formless substance and witness of the three states.

The Soul is birthless and deathless because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The Soul is the fullness of consciousness.

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the changeless reality itself. The emptiness and awareness are the nature of the Soul.

It is very difficult to understand and grasp the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space in the beginning but repeated reading of my blogs and posts umpteen times makes you understand and assimilate the Advaitic truth gradually but surely.

Remember:~

The Soul, the Self is birthless, therefore, it is deathless. The one which is born lives and dies within the world is not the Self. The idea of reincarnation is based on the birth entity (you), which lives and dies within the illusory world (waking).

The Self is the one which witnesses the coming and going of the dual (waking or dream) nondual (deep sleep) experiences.

The present experience of birth, life, and death takes place within the world. The world is a dualistic illusion; therefore, rebirth or recantation also takes place within the illusion.

The one which is born, lives dies within the world is not the Soul, the Self, therefore, rebirth and reincarnation is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is unborn eternal. The Soul is unborn eternal because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. Advaitic Wisdom dawns when the Soul, the Self, consciously remains awake in its formless nondual nature.

When the substance and witness of the three states are one in essence and that essence is consciousness. Then what value is there for the universe in, which the experience of birth, life, death, and reincarnation happen?

Even if you take reincarnation as reality then the reincarnation happens within the world, which is an illusion, from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self.

Dalai Lama said: ~ Buddhism need not be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama [Soul] and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth.

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted duality as a reality

People who believe in reincarnation and rebirth theories are unaware of the fact that their belief is based on a birth entity, which is the false self within the false experience. The waking entity itself is a false Self within the false experience, it means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a falsehood.

Thus, whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as the waking entity is bound to be falsehood because the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness is birthless because it is unborn eternal. Therefore, the rebirth and reincarnation theory based on the false self is bound to be a falsehood.

Accepting rebirth and reincarnation theory as reality is accepting false self (waking entity or ego) as real Self and false experience(waking) as reality.

Self-realization is an impossibility if one accepts the present waking entity as the real Self because the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self a dream entity but the Self is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.

The Soul, the Self is without the physical apparatus because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Formless, timeless, and spaceless existence means nonduality.

The three states are impermanent but the Soul or consciousness, which is the witness of the three states, is permanent and eternal. in reality, the three states are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Consciousness (Soul) is second to none.

A deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience itself is an illusion. It means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion. Thus, the reincarnation theory based on the false Self within the false experience is bound to be a falsehood.

When the waking entity is not the Self then whatever theories are based on the waking entity imagined theory.

This imagined theory based on the waking entity or ego is for those lower minds set who are incapable of grasping the ultimate truth or Brahman.

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted dualistic illusion as reality. Birth implies duality and from the ultimate standpoint, duality is an illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
