Consciousness is not temporary. Consciousness is permanent and eternal.
Consciousness is formless, timeless and spaceless, and changeless existence.
The ‘I’ is an illusion upon consciousness, which appears and disappears. Thus, it is necessary to know what this ‘I’ is supposed to be in actuality.
Sage Sankara: ~VC~If the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false, like dreams.
People say I AM THAT ~ I am God, I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman remains, not I.
It is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time, and space, whereas the invisible Soul, the Self, is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ disappears as deep sleep, so what is the use of being attached to it? It is impermanent and illusory because ‘I’ is physical awareness.
Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. ‘I-less awareness is Self-awareness.
It is erroneous to identify the invisible Soul, the Self, as 'I' or 'I AM' because the invisible Soul, the Self, is not 'I' or I AM’. The invisible Soul, the Self, is the cause of the 'I'.
To understand the false nature of the ‘I’, the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana, is necessary.
The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the invisible Soul which is the cause of the ‘I’. Holding the ‘I as the Self leads to hallucination based on the imagination.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
