You are the false self within the dualistic illusion. The ‘Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul.
The Self does not die; only you die, because you are bound by birth, life, death, and the world.
The invisible Soul, the Self, does not die because it is birthless and deathless. After all, it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The form, time, and space are merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.
If form, time, and space are illusions, then the universe is an illusion. If the universe is an illusion, then the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is bound to be an illusion.
The invisible Soul, the Self, is the reality hidden by the illusory universe because the invisible Soul is the cause of the illusory universe.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe.
The seeker has to make sure what this ‘universe supposed to be? The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the universe comes and goes to realize the truth, which is hidden by the universe.
The invisible Soul is permanent, is always there; only the transient universe comes and goes.
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman, which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.
The universe hides the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, which is the cause of the universe.
That is why Sage Sankara says: - VC-65- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
