People are unaware of the fact that the world in which they exist is a product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes then there is neither the seer (consciousness)  nor the seen (world)  because the seer and seen have become one in essence. That essence is consciousness (soul).  The consciousness alone is, the universe is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. 

That is why Jesus said:~ "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you.

It means one has to know the world which confronts him confronts to realize his body and the world are made of the same essence and that essence is Spirit or consciousness (Father). 

Sage Sankara says:~ One must first know what is before him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.

 Sage Sankara says:~ VC- 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

Jesus said:~"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find it, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel and will reign over all. (And after they have reigned they will rest.)"

When the seeker indulges in deeper self-search and becomes aware of the fact that the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is merely an illusion created out of spirit, he will be in fear of losing their physical identity and the experience of the world which he dearly attached.   But gradually his conviction grows about the innermost self the mind becomes still and rests in consciousness, the innermost self, which is a god or Christ.   

Meher Baba said:~ give no importance to creed, dogma, castes, or the performance of religious ceremonies and rites. 

The only Real Existence is that of the One and only God Who is the Self in every (finite) self.

The only Real Love is the Love for this Infinity (God), which arouses an intense longing to see, know and become one with its Truth (God).

The only Real Sacrifice is that in which, in pursuance of this Love, all things—body, mind, position, welfare, and even life itself—are sacrificed.

The only Real Renunciation is that which abandons, even in the midst of worldly duties, all selfish thoughts and desires.

The only Real Knowledge is the Knowledge that God is the inner dweller in good people and in so-called bad, in saints and in the so-called sinner. This Knowledge requires you to help all equally as circumstances demand without expectation of reward, and when compelled to take part in a dispute, to act without the slightest trace of enmity or hatred; to try to make

Real love is the love for the Self. 

The Self cannot be experienced, because the experience is possible only in the realm of duality.   There is neither experience nor experience in reality.  In Self-awareness, the body, ego, and the world are not considered different from consciousness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
