Awakening means the Soul, the Self waking up from its sleep of ignorance, and remaining in its own awareness.+

Kabir views humanity as being caught up in the illusion, searching for Ultimate Reality in all the wrong places, always seeking It outside of ourselves in various rituals, temples, forests, and mountaintops, not realizing That for which we seek is already hidden within us. 

God dwells within the mind  like fragrance in the flower; Musk lies within the Musk-deer yet seeks it afar."

The Atman is the Sanskrit word for the Soul, the Self.  The Atman or Soul is present in the form of consciousness.    

This universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

The experience of birth, life, death which happens within the universe is merely an illusion.

The form, time, and space are within the universe. Without form, time, and space there is no universe.

The universe is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present when ‘I’ is present.  

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion. 

If the universe is merely an illusion then the experience of birth, life, and death happen within the universe is merely an illusion. 

If the universe is merely an illusion then the form, time, and space are merely an illusion. 

If the form, time and space is merely an illusion then the mind is merely an illusion. 

If the mind is merely an illusion then the ‘I’ is merely an illusion.  

If the ‘I’ is merely an illusion then the substance and the witness of the ‘I’ which is the formless soul alone is real and eternal. 

Awakening is the Soul waking up from its sleep of ignorance, and remaining in its own awareness of its nondual truth nature in the midst of diversity. There is unity in diversity when the Soul, the Self remains in its own awareness of its non-dual true nature.  

Awakening is freedom from experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality.

Awakening is soulcentric Gnana.

Awakening happens when the soul, the innermost self, witnesses the whole universe in which you exist on non-dualistic or Advaitic perspective. 

On the nondualistic 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 or  God in truth. Thus, Self-realization is God realization. 

Only in religion and yogic path, one has to follow and practice. Everyone thinks he has to follow some Guru or Godmen.  But all these methods are full of frustrations and give no real satisfaction. 

Reality has no method. The illusion has many methods, many problems, and many concepts. To overcome illusion or concepts, one should know the source of the mind and from where does this mind arise? 

“When the mind is present then only the universe is present. Absent of mind absent of universe.  Absent of universe is absent of duality. 

The absence of duality is the absence of thoughts.  Until one realizes  'What is the mind?' and 'What is the substance of the mind?' and 'What is the source of the mind?' it is impossible to assimilate Advaitic truth.

To know the Advaitic  Reality, deeper thinking is required. The thinking faculty ceases and becomes still when it reaches the source of the mind. One has to realize the waking entity is false self within the false experience from the ultimate standpoint.

Where there is no experience then there is no duality where there is no duality then there is no second thing that exists other than nondualistic  Self-awareness.  

The seeker has to go deeply in and trace and overcome the obstacles. For the sincere and serious seekers the inner guide will guide until the ignorance vanishes and he becomes aware of the fact that the diversity (universe or Illusion) is merely an illusion created out of consciousness (Atman). :~Santthosh Kumaar
