The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance.+

You cannot get rid of the illusion you are not the Self.  You are the false self within the false experience. You and your world are part and parcel of the illusion.

First, you have to realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. It is the Soul that is in ignorance. It is the Soul that is experiencing the dualistic illusion ( the world,  in which you exist) as a reality.  When the Soul wakes up in its own awareness the ignorance vanishes then the illusory reality (the world, in which you exist) never again remains as a reality. 

The one, which is born, lives, and dies, is not the Soul.  The Soul, the Self, never dies, it lives eternally. The Soul never comes or goes. Whatever comes and goes is merely an illusion.   From the standpoint of the Soul birth, life, death, and the world is merely an illusion.  Thus, Self-realization is necessary to realize the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is merely an illusion

Remember:~

All likes and dislikes are of the ego. All good and bad belong to the ego. The desires belong to the ego.   The ego belongs to the duality. The duality is merely an illusion. Your body and your experience of the world belong to the ego.  The ego, the body, and the world appear together and disappear together.  

All the doubts and confusion are only from the dualistic perspective. There are no doubts or confusion from the non-dualistic perspective. In Self-awareness, there is unity in diversity in consciousness. In physical awareness, there is diversity in consciousness.  

The seeker has to be always aware of this truth! Everything within the dualistic illusion is merely an illusory division created within consciousness.

The error is in observing the worldview.  Egocentric observation yields objective awareness.  Soulcentric observation leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of diversity. Thus, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to Advaitic awareness.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of the consciousness is awareness.

You and your experience of the world disappear when the waking experience disappears. The waking experience disappears in deep sleep. The dream disappears when the waking takes place. There is neither the waking nor the dream in deep sleep.

The seeker has to find out ‘what is it’ that’ becomes the waking or dream (duality) and ‘what is it that becomes the deep sleep (nonduality).

Remember:~

The one that becomes the dual (waking or dream) and that one that becomes non-dual (deep sleep) is the formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self. In the realm of the Soul, diversity has no value because there is unity in diversity in the consciousness.

All three states are made of single stuff. Realizing that single Stuff, which is the Soul is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

If the Soul is the Self then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. The world is a reality on the base of the ego (you), which is the false self within the false experience.

The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes the unreal nature of the world n which you exist is exposed. In the same way, the unreal nature of the dream was exposed when the waking takes place. Ignorance vanishes when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

A perfect understanding, and assimilation of ‘what is ‘what helps to remove all your confusion and doubts.

That is why Sage Sankara Says: ~ V.63~ "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

The Soul, the Self reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

It takes time for the subconscious to gain speed; it takes time for the Soul to awake, and it takes time for the Soul which has been in the sleep of ignorance to wake up to its own awareness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
