All the three states are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul.+

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana frees the Soul from the cage of the illusory form, time, and space.

Due to ignorance, the Soul, the innermost Self is in forgetfulness of its own true nature in the dualistic illusion.  When the Soul wakes up from its sleep of ignorance, the unreal nature of the world, in which you exist, is exposed.

The waking experience is based on the ‘ego’. You are the ego. The ego is the false self within the false experience. 

You are born, live, and die within the world. The world in which you exist appears as the waking experience (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The dream is the parallel waking experience and the waking experience is a parallel dream. 

Within the waking experience, you view and judge the worldview as a person. If you want to realize the truth you must realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the ‘Soul’, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Only when you learn to view and reason the worldview from the standpoint of the formless Soul, the Self, the truth will start revealing on its own. 

Remember:~ 

You cannot attain truth while existing on the empirical base and you cannot conduct your worldly activities on the transcendental base. Both life and truth are important. Life has to be lived and you have to reach the truth to overcome the burden and the bondage of the illusory experience of birth, life, and death (duality). 

The seeker has to develop soulcentric reasoning faculty to judge the dual and non-dual experiences, to discover and realize ‘what truth is’ and ‘what is untruth’. Without knowing what is untruth it is impossible to accept the truth which is beyond form, time, and space.

Deeper self-search helps the seeker to discover and realize the fact that, from the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’, the waking experience is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. 

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ helps you to transcend into the formless substance of the world in which you exist. The substance of the world in which you exist is consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the real Self and the eternal identity.

When the seeker learns to view and judge the worldview on the base of the   Soul as the Self then the waking experience, which is experienced as reality becomes unreal. In the same way, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. 

Remember:~

The one that appears as the waking experience, the one that appears as the dream, and one that remains without the waking or the dream is nothing but consciousness. The appearance and disappearance are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. In reality, the three states are non-existent as a reality. 

All the three states are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

The difference between duality and nonduality is, that duality is merely an illusion created out of non-dualistic stuff. There is no such thing as duality in reality because the reality is nondualistic. 

From the standpoint of the Soul, all the appearance itself is an illusion. The Soul, which I present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal 

One who has not learned to view and reason the worldview on the base of the Soul, the Self will not be able to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman  or God in truth:~Santthosh Kumaar
