The Self is not you. Identifying the ‘Self’ as you is erroneous.

The Self is not you. Identifying the ‘Self’ as 'you' is erroneous. Those who assert the Self as you are still in grip of the dualistic illusion. The Soul becomes the universe in waking or dream (duality) and the universe becomes Soul is deep sleep (non-duality).

Until you hold the ‘I-centric knowledge or 'I-centric Gurus as a yardstick you will not be able to assimilate Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

What is it that appears as the ‘I’ and disappears as the ‘I-less? It is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Do not make the mistake of holding the ‘I’ as the Self because it is not permanent. ‘I’ disappears and becomes ‘I’-less.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

‘I’ is an illusion and the ‘I-LESS-Soul’ is real and eternal. The ‘I-LESS-Soul ‘appears as ‘I’ and ‘I ’‘disappears as I-LESS-Soul.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the universe.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say 'I', if you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

Discard all the accumulated dualistic knowledge by realizing the world in which you exist, exists because of ignorance. Get rid of the ignorance by realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Realizing the ‘Self’’ is not you but the Soul is Self-realization. The Soul is the cause of the universe and it, itself is uncaused.

If you search for the ‘Self’ you will find only the Soul. If you search for truth and you will find only the Soul. You search for God you will find only the Soul.

Thus, the Soul is the Goal. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

What exists with or without the world, in which you exist, is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. When the Soul remains in its own awareness in the midst of the world, in which you exist, it is in its swa swaroopa or Self-awareness.

The unreal is created out of the real. The Soul is the fullness of the consciousness without any division. A Gnani is fully aware the division of form, time and space is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Consciousness is one without the second.

Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch~ II-5 P-14)

Those who indulge in the perverted argument from their own standpoint and opinion are not seeking the truth, which is hidden by ignorance. They just want to exhibit their accumulated knowledge accumulated from here and there. They think what they know is the ultimate truth.

They think whatever they propagate is the ultimate truth. The question never occurs to them, “Is what I know is really the truth?: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
