You appeared along with the universe you will disappear along with the universe.+

You appeared along with the universe you will disappear along with the universe. You and the world in which you exist belong to the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

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. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC~.63: "Without knowing and examining the universe, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress.

Sage Sankara says: - VC-47- All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-self.

Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward the ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as reality.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation. Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-awareness. By holding onto theories one remains in the realm of duality. You have to mentally go on dropping what is not the truth through deeper Self-search.

Finally when you become aware of the fact that, your ego, your body, and the world are one in essence then there is Self-awareness in the midst of duality.

Remember:~

From the ultimate standpoint, there is neither bondage nor an illusion because there is only oneness.

There is no scope for duality. In duality, there is always bondage and an urge for freedom.

Just by uttering the word ‘I’ am free no one becomes free. A disease does not leave off if one simply utters the name of the medicine, without taking it; similarly, without direct realization, one cannot get freedom by the mere utterance of the words.

All are searching for truth within the illusion not being aware of the fact that the illusion is created out of a single stuff which is consciousness because everyone thinks their body and their experience of the universe are not consciousness and consciousness is limited to their body.

Thus searching for the truth within the illusion with the illusory self, within the illusory experience, has to be an illusion. The illusion is created and sustained and finally dissolves as consciousness.

Consciousness is the material of the illusion. Since there is no second thing other than consciousness; consciousness itself is God/ Brahman. This conviction derives only from deeper inquiry, analysis, and reasoning. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Prayers imply duality. Prayers and sacrifices belong to a premature stage of development. By praying to the Spirit, the Self is not realized.+

Prayers imply duality. Prayers and sacrifices belong to a premature stage of development. By praying to the Spirit, the Self is not realized.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

You are the birth entity. Your existence is limited to form, time, and space.

Your religion, your religious Gods your beliefs, your religious rituals and prayers, your race, and your nationality have nothing to do with the Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness itself is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

It is not you have to establish in consciousness but by realizing you and your experience of the world is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness Self-awareness is raised in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. If everything is consciousness then how can anything exist which is not consciousness?

When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm then everything falls into the right slot.

Self-realization is very much necessary to realize the world is an illusion.

Until and unless you realize the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul Self-realization is an impossibility. :~Santthosh Kumaar 

You are aware of yourself and the world in which you exist only through the Soul, the Self.+

You are aware of yourself and the world in which you exist only through the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of consciousness is awareness.

You are the birth entity. You are born in this world in the past, living in this world in the present, and going to die in this world in the future. The world in which you exist appears as a waking experience (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

When you realize the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul then the experience of birth, life, death, and the world, which appeared as waking becomes unreal the same way as the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place.

Whatever you experience as an individual you are experiencing within the domino of the form, time, and space.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion. if the world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion then your birth, life and death, and the world are bound to be an illusion. The Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of the consciousness is the cause of the dualistic illusion that is real and eternal.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the witness consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

One knows everything within the waking experience is consciousness because the waking experience itself is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. The physical apparatus is absent in deep sleep so one cannot know anything by intuition because there is no duality in deep sleep. This proves that the duality is present only in waking or dream. And also it proves that if there is such a faculty as intuition it must be limited to the physical Self within the physical existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

When the inner conviction arises that the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the ‘I-less Soul then whatever is based on the ‘I’ is merely an illusion.+

When the inner conviction arises that the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the ‘I-less Soul then whatever is based on the ‘I’ is merely an illusion.

The illusion (duality) is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.

Till you realize you and your world are made of the same stuff and that stuff is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness, the Soul, the Self remains in the web of form, time, and space.

When the Soul wakes up in its own awareness, the illusory form, time, and space become one with the nature of the Soul.

In Self-awareness, neither you, nor me, nor others, nor the world remain as reality because there is unity in diversity. That is oneness in the midst of the duality.

Thus, you have to realize the fact that, the whole universe in which you exist is made of the single stuff that is very much necessary to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The mind becomes still when ignorance vanishes. Ignorance vanishes when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

When wisdom dawns, then the Soul the Self remains in its own awareness in the midst of the duality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The world in which we exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Spirit.+

The world in which we exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Spirit.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth,  Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.

The Spirit is Brahman or God in truth. Thus, everything is God. There is no second thing that exists other than God in truth.

The creator and creation is a theory based on the false self within the false experience.

There is neither creation nor creator in the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman. There is no scope for the duality of any sort.

The ultimate conclusion is this there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Everything is consciousness. Thus, diversity has no value in light of wisdom.

Thus, recognizing the mind (the illusion or universe or duality) as consciousness in the midst of diversity brings unity in diversity. ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Awakening happens when Soulcentric Gnana dawns.+

For a person who has a firm conviction that he is an individual separate from the world and the world existed prior to him and he is born in it, the Self–realization has no value.

The seeker who is seeking the truth of his true existence has an inner urge and search for the truth of his true existence. The truth reveals the Soul wakes up in its own awareness.

The awakening has nothing to do with you because man and his experience of the world are the product of ignorance. It is the Soul the Self has to awaken from the sleep of ignorance.

When the man wakes up, then he sees the world that confronts him. When the Soul the Self, wakes up, then the man and his experience of the world become one with the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.

Awakening is when the Soul wakes up from the sleep of ignorance and remains in its own awareness in the midst of the diversity.

There is unity in diversity when the Soul remains in its own awareness.

Awakening is freedom from experiencing the illusion (the experience of birth, life, death, and the world) as a reality. Awakening happens when Soulcentric Gnana dawns.

Awakening happens when the Soul the Self, witnesses the whole universe in which you exist from a non-dualistic or Advaitic perspective.

From the non-dualistic perspective, you and your experience of the universe are made of the same stuff. That stuff is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. And Brahman is God. Thus, Self-realization is God-realization.

Remember:~

The seeker of truth has to constantly reflect on the subject to get a firm conviction of the truth. The seeker has to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes reality.

One needs to constantly, reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what.

People need to read and hear the words to think deeply and reach the ultimate end.

My blogs and postings help the seeker to remove the mental blockade, which is blocking his realization. It also helps to dispel all the inborn and inherited conditioning or samskara from the subconscious.

My blogs and postings will help not only as information to move in the right direction to reach the ultimate end of the understanding. They also help as subconscious suggestions, which are very much necessary to establish the non-dualistic reality.

Repeated reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings helps the seeker. My blogs and postings are not any type of teaching or theory.

It only helps the seeker to remove all the obstacles in the path of truth and reach the ultimate end in lesser time and effort. :~ Santthosh Kumaar 

Childhood, adulthood, and old age have nothing to do with the Soul, the Self because the invisible Soul is unborn.

When the Soul, the Self, establishes itself in its own awareness, then you and your experience of the world will become one with it.

When the Soul, the Self is not you then what is the use of saying ‘I AM THIS’ OR ‘I AM THAT’.

The Soul, the Self is not physical because The Soul, the Self is the Spirit that is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul or the Spirit is genderless because it is ever formless.

The Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul, the Self cannot be identified as he or she, thus the physical-based inquiry does not hold water.

To realize the truth beyond form, time, and space the seeker has to drop all the accumulated egocentric knowledge.

Becoming more and more Soulcentric leads the seeker towards Advaitic Self-awareness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
