The unreal nature of the ‘I’ is exposed when you realize the Self is not the ‘I’.+

As a person perceiving the world, one thinks he is born in this world and the world existed prior to him, this conviction makes him physical oriented, thus he views and judges the worldview (three states),  on the physical base. Therefore, his understanding is limited to form, time, and space.

 Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that the ‘Self’ is not you, but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  If the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, then you have to learn to view and judge the worldview,  on the base of the Soul, which is the Self.

All your present understanding is based on the ego, which is the false self within the false experience (waking).   The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is created out of single clay. Knowledge of the single clay is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Thus, it is necessary to realize your existence is merely an illusion because the world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of single stuff, which is consciousness. 

Realize the consciousness as the ultimate truth to overcome the dualistic illusion. Stick to consciousness as the ultimate truth the illusion will fade away when your conviction becomes firm.  

From the standpoint of the Soul the ‘Self’ there is no second thing that exists other than itself. The unreal nature of the ‘I’ is exposed when you realize the Self is not the ‘I’.

The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. 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). From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the waking also is as unreal as a dream. 

If the waking experience is as unreal as a dream, then the world in which you exist, which is present only in the waking experience is as unreal as the dream.

All three states are created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of the Soul is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 

If you drop all your accumulated knowledge, then Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana becomes easy to assimilate. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what' leads to Advaitic Self-awareness. :

The world in which you exist is within the dualistic illusion and all your experiences are happenings within the dualistic illusion. 

Until you think of the Self as ‘I’, you are bound to be in the realm of the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is created out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul, the Self is the fullness of consciousness without the illusory division of form, time, and space. 

Until the form, time and space are accepted as reality the world in which you exist prevails as a reality. If the world in which you exist prevails as reality then the experience of your birth, life, death, and the world remains a reality. 

If the experience of your birth, life, death, and the world remains as a reality then ‘I’ prevails as a reality. If the ‘I’ prevails as a reality the ignorance will not vanish.

Perfect understanding of what is what leads you to realize, that the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. Knowledge of the single clay is the only weapon to get rid of ignorance. :~Santthosh Kumaar
