The invisible Soul, the Self, will not reveal to you on its own without you having an intense urge to realize the truth. How can you realize the Self when you are unaware of the fact that the world in which you exist hides the Self?
Without investigating the nature of the world in which you exist, it is impossible to realize the Self, which is hidden by ignorance. Only when ignorance vanishes, you will realize the world in which you exist, which you used to think as real, becomes unreal(illusion or Maya).
That is why Sage Sankara says:~ ~ VC 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.
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.
The seeker should personally strive for a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ to realize the truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space.
The seeker must rationally prove the unreal nature of the world in which he exists by realizing that the world in which he exists is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
