If the Self is not the body, then why talk of the five senses, which are concerned with the body?
Some Gurus claim that the Self is within the heart, but the Self is not within the physical body; the Self is the invisible Soul, which pervades the whole universe.
People are searching for the ultimate truth in all the wrong places. They think the religious Gurus and yogis will help them to get Self-realization.
People are seeking within the dualistic illusion through various rituals, temple worship, pilgrimaging forests and mountaintops, monasteries, without realizing the fact that they are searching for the truth within the dualistic illusion with the illusory identity. The world in which we exist is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Without realizing the world in which they exist is an illusion, it is difficult to realize the Self hidden by the 'I'.
What you are seeking is hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya. The ultimate truth or Brahman dwells within the three states like fragrance in the flower; Musk lies within the Musk-deer yet seeks it afar.
Until one traces the truth within the three states, the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality.
Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that Self is not the ‘I’, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the ‘I’.
Until one gets a firm conviction that only the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is real and the world, in which he exists, is an illusion created out of consciousness, it is difficult to realize the truth hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
