The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the consciousness.+

The one which knows itself as the body with the name is not the body, but it is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. If the Soul, the innermost ‘Self ‘wakes up from the sleep of ignorance then there is neither body nor the name nor the world that exists. 

Only when the Soul is in ignorance of its true nature the world in which you exist is experienced as a reality. The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of consciousness.

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, prevails as a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

If the Soul, the Self, wakes up from the sleep of ignorance then where is the body, where is the mind, where is the world; the void; or despair in the true Self, which is the taintless Soul or consciousness. They are or have become consciousness.

One thinks there is a mind when he has thoughts, but when thoughts are not considered different from the consciousness, which is the true Self, then where is the division into, waking, dream and deep sleep, etc.

Void implies duality: the universe may not exist, but the thought of the second is there. If one knows there is a Void (emptiness/nothingness), then there is something there to be known and know. They are or have become consciousness.

Remember:~

What are scriptures, what is Self-knowledge, what is the mind without the objects, what is contentment, and where is desirelessness for the formless Soul, the innermost true Self, which is ever devoid of a sense of duality?

What is knowledge? What is ignorance? What is the ego? What is duality? What is the mind? What is bondage? What is liberation? What is definableness to the formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness?

All these appearances are an illusion, which comes and go; hence meaningless to the formless Soul, the Self.

Egocentric knowledge is not the ultimate knowledge because ego-based knowledge is dualistic knowledge based on the object (body) as the subject. But in non-dualistic Knowledge whatever seems to exist also is consciousness; therefore there is no scope for the existence of the second thing.

What is past karma? What is liberation –in this life? and what is that liberation at death? For the birth- less Soul, which is ever formless?

The nearest state to understand the Soul by itself is to eliminate mentally waking and dream as in deep sleep. Once this is grasped one has to understand everything is consciousness, which is the true Self.

What is the doer or the enjoyer? What is the cessation of thoughts or the rising of thoughts? What are the immediate perception and its result to, the formless Soul, which is ever impersonal? A Gnani is the one who is never afraid of thinking and knowing all his individual experiences and the world to be consciousness.

What is the world and what is meant by the aspirant for liberation; what is contemplative and what is the man of knowledge; what is the Self is and what liberated Self to the formless Soul, which is the non-dual essence. :~Santthosh Kumaar
