Without knowing ‘what is this mind?’ people talk of destroying the mind.+

People talk about destroying the mind. It is impossible to destroy the mind because the mind is merely an illusion.

When wisdom dawns the unreal nature of the mind is exposed. Same way as the unreal nature of the dream was exposed when the waking takes place.

Without knowing ‘what is the mind? it is impossible to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness. Thus, all three states are nothing but consciousness. The consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion.

When the conviction about the consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of the duality.

Thus, it is necessary to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Remember:~

Know what is this mind in actuality. People mistake the ego for the mind. The illusion is not the projection of the mind.

It is high time to realize the mind is not within the body, but their body and the world are within the mind. The mind itself is an illusion.

Without knowing what is mind it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness.

Illusion’s "concealing power" merely means that when one looks at an ice block he thinks only of the ice block. But a Gnani will think of the substance of the ice block too. That is a wise man who has the knowledge of the substance plus of the ice block.

Similarly, a Gnani has the knowledge of the universe and its formless substance also. The consciousness is concealed because of ignorance. As a man, one is not aware of the fact that his body, ego, and his experience of the world are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

When one becomes aware of the fact that, the universe is an illusion then there is no- physical body no ego, and no world then there is only the formless, timeless, and spaceless Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time, and space.

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.

When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
