The ‘I’ exists only when the mind exists. The mind exists only when the universe exists.+

The ‘I’ exists only when the mind exists.  The mind exists only when the universe exists. The universe is present only in the waking experience.  If there is no waking experience then there is no ‘I’.

If there is no ‘I’ then there is no mind.

If there is no mind then there is the universe.

If there is no universe then there is no waking.

 If there is no waking then you do not exist.

Your existence as an individual is dependent on the waking experience.  The waking experience is dependent on the universe. The universe is dependent on the mind. The mind is dependent on the Soul. Thus the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Realize the Soul as the ‘Self’ is God, which is the cause of everything that exists. 

Rig Veda 1/164/46: ~ They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni or the heavenly Sunbird Garutmat. The seers call in many ways that which is One; they speak of Agni, Yama, Matarishvan.

Rig Veda 8/58/2: Only One is the Fire, enkindled in numerous ways; only One is the Sun, pervading this whole universe; only One is the Dawn, illuminating all things. In very truth, the One has become the whole world.

Sage Sankara was a Gnani.  Most of the modern masters are not Gnani. And you have to understand that to be a Gnani is one thing; to be a Guru is totally different.

Out of a million people perhaps one is a Gnani. Most of the Self-  realized decide to remain silent – seeing the difficulty, that whatever they have realized is impossible to convey in any possible way to others; seeing that not only is it difficult to convey, it is bound to be misunderstood too.

Most who have arrived at the stage of the Self –awareness will most probably decide not to bother with the world anymore. The ignorant populace with all kinds of misunderstandings blind beliefs and superstitions, groping in the dark and finding nothing. And these blind people who have never seen the light all believe they know what light is.:~Santthosh Kumaar
