All agendas are within the illusion, which appears in the form of mind (I) or universe or waking experience.+

It is a pity that people are stuck with the reality of the illusory experience of form, time, and space.  The truth is hidden within the form, time, and space as their formless substance and witness. In the realm of truth the form, time, and space are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. 

Consciousness alone is real and the form, time, and space are unreal.  To know this simple truth getting rid of ignorance through wisdom is necessary. When the wisdom dawns then the experience of form time and space never again remains as reality.  

All agendas are within the illusion, which appears in the form of mind (I) or the universe or waking experience. The Self is within the illusion as its formless substance and it is without the illusion as its formless witness. 

The formless witness is the one which witnesses the body and universe together.  Thus ordinary awareness is physical awareness [waking] is not self-awareness.  

In Self-awareness the body is not the body but it is the consciousness, the ego is not the ego but it is consciousness, the world is not the world but it is consciousness even though they exist but their unreal nature is exposed. Just as the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place, the waking also becomes unreal when non-dual wisdom dawns. 

The illusion is present in the form of:-

Form, time, and space

Birth, life, and death

Pain and Pleasure,

Burden and bondage

Waking, dream, and deep sleep

Universe/Mind /Duality 

The illusion is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Because of ignorance, the illusion is experienced as reality. Illusory reality deludes because it is based on egocentricity. 

In egocentricity one is unaware of the ultimate truth and he permanently remains in ignorance and experiences the illusion as reality.

All the attributes are merely an illusion. It is the Self that is in illusion and it is the self that has to get free from the bondage of the illusion. The illusion is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. 

The universe appears as a waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep.  The individual experiences of birth, life, death and the world are within the waking experience.  The dream is a parallel waking experience and waking is a parallel dream.

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the self is neither the waking entity nor the Self the dream entity but the Self is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states in succession without the physical apparatus.  This has to be mentally grasped and assimilated to realize the Soul, the Self is nothing to do with the three states. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the three states are merely an illusion. 

 

The practical life within the practical world, which is present as the waking experience, is merely an illusion. If waking experience is merely an illusion then the individual experience of birth, life, death, and world are merely an illusion.   

If the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is merely an illusion, it means the form, time, and space are merely an illusion.  If form, time, and space are mere illusion, it means the past, present, and future is merely an illusion. 

Thus, it is necessary for the seeker to realize the fact that form, time, and space are one in essence, in order to realize the three states are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus all the diversity is created out of consciousness. Thus no second thing exists other than consciousness. 

Seeker of truth has to constantly reflect on the subject in order 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.:~Santthosh Kumaar
