Only by getting rid of ignorance one can get rid of the inborn samskara or conditioning.+

Self–awareness is not physical awareness. Physical awareness is present as the waking or dream experience. And physical awareness disappears as deep sleep, which is also a state of ignorance. 

Self-awareness or Brahmic awareness arises when wisdom dawns.  Wisdom dawns when the Soul, the Self becomes aware of itself in the midst of the form, time, and space (duality or waking) by realizing the form, time, and space are one in essence.  

Self-realization is the direct realization of the ultimate truth or real god, in contrast with traditional paths, which are indirect. 

The other paths cannot lead to the ultimate destination because they are based on the false self, which they hold as the real Self, and false experience as reality. 

The Self is unborn. The Self cannot be named. The one, who is born, lives, and dies has a name.   

The Self is beyond form, time, and space.  When the Self is formless, timeless, and spaceless it is erroneous to inquire “WHO AM ‘I’?  because the self is not he or she because it is genderless because it is formless.

The Self has nothing to do with you because you are the false self (ego or waking entity) within the false experience (waking).  Thus, the Self has nothing to do with your birth, life, death, and the world because the self is ever birthless and deathless. After all, it is formless.

The Self is not you but the Self is the formless soul, which witnesses you and the world together.

Realizing all three states are created out of single stuff and that single stuff is consciousness (soul) is freedom or Moksha.  

Until and unless one overcomes physical shackles it is impossible to understand and assimilate the nondual truth, which is beyond the physical existence or the universe.  Consciousness itself is lord of itself though not of the universe. And having nothing it has all.

Gaudapada quotes from the Upanishads:~  "There's no plurality here"; "The Lord (Atman) through his powers appears to be many"; "those who are attached to the creation or production or origination go to utter darkness"; "the unborn is never reborn, for who can produce him(Atman)?”

It is only those who base ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as the Self, argue and quarrel amongst themselves. 

People who are fully aware that form, time, and space are merely an illusion created out of consciousness have no reason to quarrel, because for them everything is consciousness, and no second thing exists other than consciousness. 

People try to overcome their inherited religious conditioning, but by getting rid of the religious conditioning one will not be able to overcome the physical shackle.  One has to get rid of the inborn samskara or conditioning itself by realizing the fact that ‘I’ or ‘I AM’   is not the Self.

Only by getting rid of the ignorance one can get rid of the inborn samskara or conditioning.

v  What is the use of arguing on the base of the birth entity, which is not the Self?

v  What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the Self is birthless? 

v  What is the use of thinking of heaven and hell when the Self is not an individual,  and it is never born and never dies?

But as a person, one is unaware that he and his experience of the world are within the waking experience, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.  

The waking experience appears and disappears, in the same way as the dream. When there is the dream then there is no waking. 

When there is waking then there is no dream.  When there is neither the dream nor the waking it is identified as deep sleep in the waking experience.  

 One is aware of the dream or deep sleep only in waking.  The one which is aware of the coming and going of the three states is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the Soul, the Self, which is the formless witness of the three states. :~Santthosh Kumaar
