The Soul is the Self -evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs.+

The Soul is the ultimate Truth or Brahman or God in truth.  The Soul is in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self -evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. 

The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.   The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness (Spirit), is the ultimate Truth or Brahman or God in truth. 

The mind will not die because the mind is merely an illusion. When wisdom dawns the unreal nature of the mind is exposed. In the same way, the unreal nature of the dream was exposed when the waking takes place.

Without knowing ‘what is the mind? it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (Nonduality).

The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness. Thus, all three states are nothing but consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion. When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of the duality.

Thus, it is necessary to have a  perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. 

If the Self is not you then you and your experience of the world is bound to be an illusion.  That is why Self-realization is necessary to realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.

Intellectual arguments will not lead to unfolds the mystery of the world in which you exist.  The truth is beyond the form, time, and space. You are part of the dualistic illusion. The ‘Self’ is nothing to do with you and your experience of the world.

The Seeker should no indulge in arguing on his own point of view because the argument is possible only in the domain of the form, time and space where the ‘Soul, the Self is ever formless, timeless,  and spaceless existence.

You and your experience of the world are within the illusion. Thus,  you and your world are nothing but an illusion. The illusion disappears when the ‘I’ disappears.  The ‘I’ disappears when ignorance vanishes. Ignorance vanishes when wisdom dawns.

Remember:~

The experience of birth, life, and death take place within the illusory world.  The desire to live and the fear of death are part of the illusory play of the Soul or the consciousness.  The Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The one which is born, lives, and dies is you. You are not the Self. The Self is the Soul, which witnesses your birth, life, death, and the world. 

The experience of your birth, life, death, and the world are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.   When you realize you and your world are created out of the same stuff, then there is unity in diversity because diversity ceases to be a reality. There is oneness. 

Thus, the knowledge of single stuff is the knowledge of the Soul, the Self. From the standpoint of the Soul,  there is no duality because there is only the Advaitic reality.  

The ignorant have the firm conviction that he is an individual apart from this world. The world existed prior to him and he is born in it afterward. Till this conviction is there he will remain ignorant of the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The Soul, the Self is unborn. The Soul, the Self is nothing to do with you and your experience of your birth, life, death, and the world.   From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, your experience of your birth, life, death, and the world is non-existent as a reality.  

Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone is real and all else is merely an illusion. :~Santthosh Kumaar
