Self-realization could not be brought about merely by giving up the idea that there is an individual Self, which functions through the body. The 'Self' does not function through the body.
All the functions of the body take place within the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is not within the body, but the body and the world are within the mind.
Till one thinks the mind is within the body, it is impossible to realize the Self, which is beyond form, time, and space. The form, time, and space, together, are the mind. The form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe.
The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
Many Gurus hold the ‘I’ without the body as the Self, but it is an error because the Self is not the ‘I’, but the Self is the invisible and unborn Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the ‘I’ is merely an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the universe in which you exist is merely an illusion. Consciousness, which is the cause of the universe, is real and eternal. Consciousness is the cause of the illusion, and it is uncaused.
It is impossible to judge the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, on the base of the birth entity, because the birth entity is not the Self. The Self is the invisible Soul, which is birthless and deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless.
If one wants to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space, then he has to learn to view, judge, and reason on the base of the formless and invisible Soul, the Self.
By inquiring 'WHO AM I?' and 'WHY DO I EXIST?' - the Advaitic Advaitic wisdom will not dawn because the ‘I’ is not limited to an individual.
The ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is the whole universe in which you exist. The universe appears as waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). :
