Aham Brahmasmi ~ I am God, I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? +

Bhagvan Buddha: ~ Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

Gurus and Godmen say: ~ Aham Brahmasmi ~ I am God, I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman remains not the ‘I’. ‘I’ is not the Self. The Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, it is the Soul, the Self which is Brahman or God in truth.

Man and his experience of the world are present only in the duality. The duality is present in the form of the mind. The Mind is present in the form of the universe and the universe appears as the waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

One cannot live without the physical world; it is the basis of his life. The physical world is within the waking experience. In the same way, the dream world and the dream entity exist within the dream. 

The dream entity and the dream world are a reality within the dream. Similarly, the waking entity and the waking world are a reality within the waking experience. The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place, and the waking remains as a reality until the ignorance is there.

Ignorance will prevail until the waking entity remains unaware of the existence of the formless witness. 

Thus, one has to trace the formless witness of the three states in order to realize, that the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is the dream entity but the Self is that which witnesses the coming and going of the three states, without the physical apparatus.

So it is the starting point of his spiritual quest. Proof, not imaginations, must be the seekers’ material.:~Santthosh Kumaar
