The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of the Soul is nondual awareness. The nondual awareness is real and eternal. The nature of the mind is physical awareness(I). The mind is present in the form of the universe.
The universe appears as a waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The duality is physical awareness and the nonduality is Soul-awareness.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the physical awareness (duality or the universe) is merely an illusion. The illusion is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, there is no difference between illusion and reality because both are one in essence.

It is not possible to grasp the Advaitic truth if one is stuck to the ‘I’~ consciousness. The ‘I-awareness' is physical awareness. Physical existence 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 (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one which becomes duality and nonduality is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness. Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The soul or the consciousness is the substance and the witness of the duality. The duality 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 diapers as deep sleep.
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 formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
When the Soul becomes aware of its formless non-dual true nature in the midst of duality it is called Self –awareness. It is foolish to limit the consciousness only to duality because the consciousness pervades all the three states.

Remember:~
Consciousness is the shoreless Non-dual Ocean. The consciousness is beyond form, time, and space. Consciousness is beyond instinct, intellect, imagination, and inspiration. It is unconscious of its true nature when it is an illusion. Only beyond illusion, it is in its true nature.
Truth must be discovered, but there is no formula for its discovery. You must set out on the uncharted sea, and the uncharted sea is yourself. You must set out to discover the Self…”
The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness itself is Guru. It may appear in any form and guides the sincere and serious seekers towards the nondual destination.
The seeker has to take refuge in the Self, the indivisible consciousness which is beyond the reach of words and thought. The seeker has to discover the formless substance and witness of all the three states in order to know the self is not limited to the physical entity but to the whole universe.
A true Gnani who on account of his being free from the illusion of duality, expounds the essence of the non- duality to fellow seekers.
The means to the attainment of Knowledge are the discrimination between things permanent and transient, and the desire for spiritual freedom.
Prejudice is like poison. Unless purged out of one's mind in the early stages, it can spread like cancer and make one incapable of differentiating between reality and unreality. Religion is not a means to Self-Knowledge. People believe that their own religion is superior to all others, but religion is based on the form, whereas the ultimate truth is based on the formless.
Remember:~
Remember:~
Discrimination between things permanent and transient; this consists of the discrimination that the Soul, which is in the form of consciousness alone is the permanent substance and that all things other than it, are merely an illusion.
Material enjoyment and sex pleasures are part of the illusion and they are results of action. Whatever is based on action makes one think the duality as reality. If the duality is accepted as reality then there is no escape from illusion, which one experiences as reality.
Until one thinks his conduct is the means for freedom he is bound to believe the birth, life, death, and the universe as reality. Until one thinks he is born, lives, and dies in this world he remains ignorant of the truth.
Consciousness is the ultimate reality. The consciousness is without a second. Consciousness is Existence. Unreality is ignorance and all other material objects. :~Santthosh Kumaar
