Burn down ignorance with the fire of Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
You think the ‘Self is the ‘I’ and ‘I’ is within the body. You are mistaking the Soul, the Self, for the ‘I’, which appears and disappears. This is the great stumbling block of the Gurus who propagated the ‘I-centric teaching.
These Gurus think that when the ego is not, nothing remains. You must realize you are the ego. You are the false self within the false experience.
You (the ego), body, and the world appear together and disappear together. Therefore, you cannot get rid of the ego alone because your body and the world also appeared along with the ego.
It is foolish to venture to get rid of the ego alone. Therefore, the seeker must realize ‘what is what’ to discover the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’.
The ‘I’ is not different from the mind.
The mind is not different from the universe.
The universe is not different from the waking.
Without the ‘I’, there is neither the mind nor the universe nor the waking.
The universe is verily the consciousness. Without realizing ‘what is the Mind, it is impossible to get Self-realization.
The universe is not different from the Mind because the universe is the mind itself. The mind is not different from the invisible Soul because the mind is the dualistic illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, the universe is nothing but consciousness. The universe is unreal because it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness.
It is impossible for any human being to challenge successfully the Advaitic position, as Sage Sankara says.::~ Santthosh Kummar
