Realize this truth of the single clay and rest in the consciousness.+

The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion 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.

Humanity has to awaken to the reality of its true existence by realizing the world in which humanity exists is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana frees the Soul, the innermost Self from the cage of the dualistic illusion.

Sage Sankara says ~ VC-162 - There is no liberation for a person of mere book knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery."

The truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. 

A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need reading and hearing the words of wisdom to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.

“It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the  Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Your present existence itself is a reality within the dualistic illusion. All your doubts and confusion belongs to the illusory domain of form, time, and space.  Reality exists without the illusion.  It is foolish to say that you can repeat the same existence again and again when you are not the cause of the world in which you exist. 

Your present existence of the world in which you exist is dependent on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  Thus, the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.  Realize this truth of the single clay and rest in consciousness.

When the ‘Self’ is not you then what is the use of thinking of the past lives and future birth or incarnation.  The present world in which you exist is merely an illusory reality created out of single stuff.  That single stuff is the Soul, the Self.  The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.  Thus, the Self is the cause of the illusory world in which you exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, there is no birth; there is no death because the Soul is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

In the  Atmic path, the seeker has to base his judgment on the Soul, which is the real Self’ not on the ego (you) which is the false self within the dualistic illusion (the world in which you exist).

Whatever belongs to reality is always a reality. And whatever belongs to an illusion is always an illusion.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is the consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.

When all is one and all is the consciousness there is no place for the dualistic questions.  All the doubts and confusion are based on the dualistic perspective. There is no contradiction of any sort on the non-dualistic perspective because there is no scope for two. :~Santthosh Kumaar
