You are the ego.+

The waking experience is based on the ‘ego’. You are the ego. The ego is the false self within the false experience(waking). 

You are born, live, and die in the world. The world in which you exist appears as the waking experience (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The dream is the parallel waking experience and the waking experience is a parallel dream. 

Within the waking experience, you view and judge the worldview as a person. If you e want to realize the truth you must realize the Self is not you but the Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. 

Only when you learn to view and reason the worldview from the standpoint of the formless Soul, the  ‘Self’, the truth will start revealing on its own. 

You cannot attain truth while existing in the empirical base and you cannot conduct your worldly activities in the transcendental base. Both life and truth are important. Life has to be lived and you have to reach the truth to overcome the burden and the bondage of the illusory experience of birth, life, and death (duality). Therefore, the seeker has to develop soulcentric reasoning faculty to judge the dual and non-dual experiences, in order to discover and realize ‘what truth is’ and ‘what is untruth’. Without knowing what is the untruth, it is impossible to accept the truth which is beyond form, time, and space.

Deeper Self-search helps the seeker to discover and realize the fact that, from the standpoint of the Soul, the  Self, the waking experience is an illusion created out the consciousness. 

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ helps you to transcend into the formless substance of the world in which you exist. The substance of the world in which you exist is consciousness. The  Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the real  Self and the eternal identity.

When the seeker learns to view and judge the worldview on the base of formless Soul as the ‘Self’ then the waking experience, which is experienced as reality becomes unreal. The same way as the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. 

The one that appears as the waking experience, the one that appears as a dream, and one that remains without the waking or the dream is nothing but consciousness. The appearance and disappearance are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. In reality, the three states are non-existent as a reality. 

All the three states are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

The difference between duality and nonduality is, the duality is an illusion created out of non-dualistic stuff. There is no such thing as duality in reality because the reality is nondualistic. From the standpoint of the Soul, all the appearance itself is an illusion. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal 

One who has not learned to view and reason the worldview on the base of the Soul, the ‘Self’ will not be able to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
