Advaitic Wisdom liberates the Soul, the 'Self' from the cage of the illusory form, time and space.+

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 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.

Advaitic Wisdom liberates the Soul, the ‘Self’  from the cage of the illusory form, time, and space. Advaitic truth is the truth of the whole, not the part.

In reality, there is nothing that exists other than consciousness. Only in ignorance, there is diversity. All three states are the product of ignorance. In the state of ignorance, one thinks of his body as the body, the ego as the ego the world in which he exists as the world.

In ignorance, one has the urge to search for the truth of his true existence. When the waking entity (you) indulges in deeper self-search and becomes aware of the fact that the ‘Self’  is neither the waking entity nor the  ‘Self’  is a dream entity, but the  ‘Self’  is the formless substance and witness of the three states. That formless substance and witness are one, in essence, and that essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus,  consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

The waking is created out of consciousness.

The dream is created out of consciousness

In deep sleep,  consciousness is free of the waking or dream

The three states cease to exist without consciousness. When there is no ignorance, then there is neither waking nor dream nor deep sleep, the Advaita is the very nature of consciousness.

The waking experience is the state of ignorance because it is the product of ignorance. We are discussing consciousness within the waking experience because we are unaware of the fact that the waking experience itself’ an illusion. :~Santthosh Kumaar
