By inquiring ‘WHO AM ‘I’? or by saying ‘I AM THAT’~ ignorance will not vanish. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is very much necessary.

Self-inquiry is not for finding out who am 'I'?- but to realize the Self hidden by the 'I'.

The 'I' itself is the dualistic illusion or Maya. The dualistic illusion or Maya is present in the form of the universe.

By inquiring, ‘Who am I?’- the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of ignorance, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn.

Without Advaitic wisdom, it is not possible to realize the truth, which is hidden within the world in which we exist.

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.

What is the use of saying ‘I AM THAT’- without knowing what the ‘Self’ is in actuality?

Without knowing the truth of the Self, without realizing the truth of the world in which you exist, it is impossible to realize the truth hidden by the 'I'.

Without knowing ‘what is this ‘I’, one will not realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. The ‘I’ exists only when the form, time, and space are present.

When the Self is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self is ‘I –less Soul, then whatever is based on the ‘I’, is bound to be an illusion.

Thus, the ‘I-less Soul is permanent and eternal, because the Soul is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

You and your world are a reality within the illusion. You and your experience of the world are within the illusion. You are the false self within the false experience (waking).

The waking experience is a parallel dream, and the dream is a parallel waking experience.

The Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is the dream entity, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.

The Soul, the Self, has nothing to do with you and your experience of the world because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

A person who stamped his foot on the ground to refute, to show the world, is real, ignores that in the dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.

The ultimate reality is one without a second and is designated by the name Brahman. Brahman is incorporeal, immutable, all-pervading consciousness, beyond form, time, and space.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
