People think the Soul or consciousness is different from awareness.  It is the different words are used for the same stuff.   They make their own intellectual theory and get stuck with intellectual prison.

God is the Supreme Being the One eternal homogeneous essence, indivisible consciousness and intelligence, which is beyond the form, time, and space. To which the Sages describe in a variety of ways through diverse words.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)

Only the path of wisdom leads the seeker of truth on his journey to the ultimate realization of the true nature of the Universal Essence, which is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge of Self, the knowledge of Atman worships ‘Self’ as~ Atman (God) alone exists~ everything is Atman there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."

Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

By becoming more and more intellectual one becomes more and more intoxicated to individuality. The intellectuality is limited to the domain of the form, time and space.  In the realm of truth, the intellectuality is replaced by Advaitic wisdom.  

There is no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. Everything is one, that is, unity in diversity.

By realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff.  That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to Self-awareness. 

In Self-awareness of the Soul, the 'Self' remains in its own awareness in the midst of the form, time and space. Thus, Self-awareness is real meditation. Mediation is the nature of the Soul, the Self.

The seeker has to move on in his search for the real truth, hidden by the illusory form, time and space.

The nature of the Soul is a silent, featureless one without attributes. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is not an object but it is always the subject.

The truth is beyond form, time and space. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana dispels ‘Ignorance’. The Self is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness; there the object has become one with the subject.  There is only unity in diversity.

Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Consciousness is ‘the one without a second’, the one which alone exists as the ultimate reality. 

The Soul remains in its own awareness. The illusion (mind) does not merge with the Soul because it never really separated from it.  The Soul remains the one without a second (Advaita). The Soul’s separation is an illusion, the result of ignorance which when dispelled, the hidden reality shines as formless, timeless and spaceless existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
