When ignorance vanishes, then the Soul, the Self, remains in its own awareness.+

It is not you are forgetting the Soul, the Self.  It is the Soul that forgets itself within the dualistic illusion.   

Ignorance is the cause of the dualistic illusion.  You and your world are within the dualistic illusion. Thus, you and your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. When ignorance vanishes,  then the Soul, the Self, remains in its own awareness. 

Our bodies and the world in which we exist are made out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Thus,  the whole universe in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.  Thus,  consciousness alone is real and the universe in which we exist is merely an illusion. Thus,  all the contents of the universe are also merely an illusion.

You are bound by birth, life and death, and the world. You are born within the world, which is merely an illusion. You are living within the illusory world and you are going to die within the illusory world. Whatever is born, lives, and dies within the illusory world, is not the Soul, the  Self.  

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of the consciousness but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like the consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

In Self-awareness-- the witness and witnessed are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Thus whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person is a reality within the waking experience but the waking experience itself is merely an illusion.  

The Soul is the 'Self.  The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The  Soul, the consciousness is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

What is not consciousness (formless) in the experience of diversity [waking or universe]?  The waking and the dream cease to exist without consciousness.  The seeker,  the seeking, and his destination all are one in essence.

There is only a need to realize the whole universe in which we exist is created out of single stuff,  and that single stuff is the consciousness From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.  Thus, from the ultimate standpoint, no second thing exists other than consciousness. 

Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.  The world is both real and unreal.  It is real because it is a manifestation of the consciousness but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like the consciousness itself.

In Self-awareness-- the witness and witnessed are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Thus whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person is a reality within the waking experience but the waking experience itself is merely an illusion.  

The Soul or the consciousness is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

There is only a need to realize that,  the whole universe in which we exist is created out of consciousness (Soul or Atman), the Self.  From the standpoint Soul, the  Self, the universe is a mere illusion created out of consciousness.  

Thus, from the ultimate standpoint, no second thing exists other than consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.  

As ice and clouds are not different from water, so the mind emanating from the soul is not different from it.  The mind (universe or waking) emanating from the soul (consciousness) means the mind being the effect from the Soul (consciousness) is not different from it.  A deeper analysis shows it.

 A deeper analysis needs deeper thinking. The ice and clouds have form,  but where is the form in the water.  Where did the form come from? All that one can say is that the water is not different from the ice and cloud. The mind is the same as the Soul, as the water produces the ice and clouds, so the Soul (consciousness) produces the experiences of the three states.

One has to know this through analysis. As the cloth when analyzed, is found to be nothing but thread, so this mind, when duly considered, is nothing but the Soul (consciousness).:~Santthsoh Kumaar
