You cannot get rid of the ego because you are the ego.+

Know what this mind is in actuality. People mistake the ego for the mind. The illusion is not the projection of the mind. 

It is high time to realize the mind is not within the body, but their body and the world are within the mind. The mind itself is an illusion.

Without knowing what is mind it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. 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). 

The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness. Thus, all three states are nothing but consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion.

When the conviction about the consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of the duality.

Thus, it is necessary to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The mind is virtually the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears deep sleep (nonduality). Efforts should be made to understand the mind. Advaitic is wisdom is an ancient truth preserved as a secret by sages of truth.

We are within the illusion. Whatever we have seen, feel, known, believed, and experienced are also within the illusion. The formless substance and witness of the illusion is the Soul, the Self.

In Self-awareness, the substance and witness are one in essence. That essence is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness (Spirit).

The dream entity and the dream world are within the dream. Similarly, you and your experience of the world are within the waking experience. The witness of the dream is not the waking entity. Similarly, the witness of the waking experience is not the waking entity. The Soul is the witness of the coming and going of the three states.

The three states are nothing to do with the Soul the Self because, from the standpoint of the Soul the  Self, the three states are non-existent as reality.

Remember:~

The only understanding is that there is no ‘I’ exist in actuality.

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

If there is no mind then there is no universe

If there is no universe then there is no waking.

If there is no universe there is no form, time, and space.

 If there is no form, time, and space then there is only the Soul, the fullness of consciousness. 

How to destroy the mind? 

You cannot destroy the mind because the world in which you exist itself is the mind.

How to destroy the ego?

You cannot get rid of the ego because you are the ego. You and the world in which you exist cease to exist without the ego.

 You, ego, and the world in which you exist are created out of single clay.  That single clay is the consciousness. Knowledge of the Single clay is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

 Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the world in which you exist as a reality. Only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the ignorance vanishes.

Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is ‘what’ helps you to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana

The world in which you exist will not disappear but the unreal nature of the world in which we exist is exposed by realizing the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the  ‘Self. 

The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.   Thus, the Soul alone is real, the world in which we exist is the dualistic illusion is a superimposition of consciousness. Thus, the world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.

The person within the dualistic illusion recognizes his body as the body, his ego as the ego, his experience of the world as the world; he is unaware of the fact that he is the product of ignorance. 

Once ignorance vanishes through wisdom, then the body will not remain as a body, the ego will not remain as the ego, the world will not remain as the world because everything merges into the substance from which they are created. That substance is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.    Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

It is necessary to drop all accumulated knowledge that is blocking our realization.   A perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’, leads to Advaitic Self-awareness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
