The ‘I’ is inborn samskara or conditioning, because of this inborn samskara or conditioning, one has accepted the 'Self as 'I'.
People are ignorant that the ‘I’ itself is the cause of ignorance because ignorance is present in the form of 'I'.
The world, in which you exist, exists because of the ‘I’, without the ‘I’, the world, in which you exist, ceases to exist.
Till one holds the ‘I’ as the Self, it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Thus, the seeker has to get rid of the ignorance, which is present in the form of ‘I’, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, helps to get rid of ignorance. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what leads to getting rid of ignorance.
The ‘I’ hides the invisible Soul. Therefore, the seeker has to realize ‘what this ‘I’ is supposed to be in actuality.
If the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the invisible Soul, then on the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self: ~
Where is the ‘I’?
Where is the ego?
Where is the body?
Where is the mind?
Where is the world in which you exist?
Where are the form, time, and space?
Where is the waking experience?
Where is the duality?
Where is the void?
They are or have become one with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth.
The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present only when the world is present. The world is present only when there is a waking experience.
Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience is not considered different from the world. The world is not considered different from the mind.
The mind is not considered different from the’ I’. This truth has to be assimilated.
The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. ‘I’ is not the subject.
The ‘I’ is an object to the invisible Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the three states are bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.
The seeker has to get rid of the ignorance, which is present in the form of ‘I’, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman, or God in truth.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the words and thoughts are bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the duality is bound to be an illusion.
The seeker has to make sure what this ‘I’ is supposed to be. The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’, which comes and goes, to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, :~Santthosh Kumaar
