Until you try to experience non-duality within the domain of duality you will remain in ignorance.

Nonduality is the true nature of the Soul, the Self, which is unborn eternal.

The ‘Self’ cannot be experienced as an individual because ‘Self’ is not an individual it is formless and universal.

People think the religious scholars’ interpretation of Upanishads and get stuck to the idea of experience as a touchstone.

One has to realize the ‘Self’ is not ‘you’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul or the consciousness. The Soul or consciousness is prior to any experience. Experience implies duality.

The duality is merely an illusion from the ultimate standpoint. In reality, experience and experience are one in essence. Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Hence, it is nondual.

Experience belongs to individuality. And from the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’ individuality is a falsehood. There is neither individual nor his experience in reality.

You and your experience of the world cannot exist without waking experience.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the waking experience itself is an illusion.

Whatever we are discussing, we are discussing in the illusory waking experience. Whatever belongs to waking experience is bound to be a falsehood.

Thus, we cannot experience the ‘Self’. The ‘Self' has to be realized in order to get rid of ignorance, which is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion or Maya as a reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
