This ignorance can be removed by acquiring Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.+

Ish Upanishad declares ~ “Those people who have neglected the attainment of ‘Self’-knowledge and have thus committed suicide. 

Those people who have neglected the attainment of ‘Self’-knowledge and have thus committed suicide, as it were, are doomed to enter those worlds after death. This is a condemnation of people who do not try to attain ‘Self’-knowledge.

We think of our practical life within the practical world as a reality but it is not so, because the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  The Soul is the subjective reality.  The world in which we exist is an object to the Soul, which is the formless subject.

That subjective experience need not be proved or disproved. However, all the confusion it created because of ignorance of the subject hidden by the object. This ignorance can be removed by Advaitic wisdom.

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

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, cannot be negated and that which is beyond contradiction.

The dualistic reality is limited to form, time and space.   From the standpoint of the Soul, the form, time, and space are one in essence.  

Until ignorance is there the form, time and space prevail as a reality.  Ignorance will prevail till you hold the “‘Self’’ as the ‘I’.  if there is no ‘I’  then there is only the Soul, the witness of the coming and going of the ‘I’.

You have got stuck up with the Gurus and their ‘I’ based teaching.  You will never be able to cross the prison of the ‘I’ because you are immersed in worshipping the Gurus instead of completing your journey. Such worship, devotion, and reverence to Gurus will never allow you to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.  

‘I’ is the cause of all contradiction whereas the truth you are seeking is beyond all contradictions. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is infinite.

 There are two dimensions of reality.  The dualistic and nondualistic reality, it does not mean they are two orders of reality. They are only two perspectives. Whatever that is there is real and is unaffected by our views.

Remember:~

 The dualistic reality is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is the non-dualistic reality. 

The Soul which is caught up in ignorance; encounters the dualistic illusion (form, time, and space). However, the Soul, in reality, is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.  

The Soul is infinite. The infinite ‘Self’, is perceived as limited to form, time and space.   The illusory form, time, and space are superimposed on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.  In reality, the form, time, and space are made of the same clay, which the consciousness.  Thus the consciousness alone is real and eternal and the form, time, and space are merely an illusion.

You are being an individual-in-the-world you are unaware of the fact that the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘‘Self’ is the Soul, which is the cause of the world in which you exist. Thus, the ‘‘Self’’ is not an individual because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. 

The Soul is originally a pure, transcendental consciousness is taken it is due to ignorance that hides the Soul, the ‘Self’ that the individual fails to see the nexus between the Soul and the world in which he exists.

That nexus indicates the oneness underlying the subject-object, inner-outer distinctions. All that is required is to remove the error and the Soul will shine on its own accord.

The water in the pond is clear and undisturbed. One can see the bottom of the pond through its still water. When, however, pebbles are thrown into the pond, the water in it is disturbed and the bottom of the pond becomes no longer visible. That bottom, however, is there all the time and it remains unchanged, no matter whether the surface water is disturbed or not. The water in the pond is the transactional world. The bottom of the pond is the transcendental reality. The disturbance created is ignorance.

Remember:~

The seeker has to mentally recognize subjective and objective reality.  The objective reality is merely an illusion from subjective reality.  The objective reality never exists from the standpoint of subjective reality. The subjective reality is the fullness of consciousness.  

Objective reality is merely an illusory division of form, time, and space created on subjective reality.

The objective reality is superimposition over the subjective reality.  The objective reality (world) seems as real, but it actually is unreal.

The superimposition of the illusory form, time, and space on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the cause of ignorance. When the ignorance is removed through Advaitic wisdom than the illusory division form, time and space never again prevail as a reality same way as the dream never becomes a reality when the waking takes place.

The superimposition of the illusory form, time, and space become one with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

By constantly repeating ‘I THAT”   ‘I AM THIS Who AM ‘I, without realizing what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality, the ignorance becomes more and more deep-rooted, Then it becomes impossible to come out of the prison the intoxication of the ‘I’.

The Soul is the not ‘I’, but the Soul is the witness of the ‘I’. The ‘I’, which appears and disappears is not permanent. The Soul, the Self is eternal. :~Santthosh Kumaar
