People think by getting rid of the ego they Get Self-realization but it is not so because they fail to realize without the ego, the world in which they exist ceases to exist.

The ego is the basis of physical existence (universe).  The universe in which you exist ceases to exist without the ego. Thus, it is necessary to understand ‘what is what’ in order to realize the form; time and space are one in essence. That essence is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Consciousness is alone is real and the universe, along with you is unreal. Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. 

Most of the teaching propagates to get rid of the ego. They prescribe love and compassion to get rid of the ego. They are unaware of the fact that the ego is the basis of their own existence. Love and compassion will not destroy the ego.

The ego, body, and the world appear together and disappear together. Thus, it is impossible to separate the ego from the body and the world. The ego, body, and the world are created out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Remember:~ 

The world in which we exist is the product of ignorance. The ignorance hides the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

People are unaware of the fact that the ‘Self is not the ‘I’. They hold the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’ and start spinning their imagination.

The ‘I’ is not different from the mind because the ‘I’ itself is the mind. The mind is not different from the universe, because, the mind itself is the universe. The universe is not different from the waking experience because the universe itself is the waking experience.

The Soul is not different from the mind because the mind is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the mind is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness then the universe is bound to be an illusion. 

If the universe is an illusion then the waking experience is bound to be an illusion.

If the waking experience is an illusion then the experience of birth, life, death experienced within the waking is bound to be an illusion.

If the illusion is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness then the consciousness alone is real and eternal.

Sage Sankara declaration: ~ “Brahman is the truth The world is unreal everything is truly Brahman and nothing else has any value.

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what leads to Self-awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
