From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, there is neither birth nor death nor the world.+

You are born, live, and die in this illusory universe. The Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is unborn, eternal.

Within the universe, which is the dualistic illusion, the invisible Soul is caught up in the illusory prison of the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, there is neither birth nor death nor the world.

If the invisible Soul, the Self, is one, is the cause of the illusory universe, then all heaven, hell, and paradise propagated by the religions will crumble away,

Till you make sure intellectually that the Self’ is not within you but the Self’ is hidden by the illusory universe, in which you exist, and the world, in which you exist, is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness, it is difficult to become soul-centric.

Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusory universe as reality.

You appeared along with the universe, and you disappear along with the universe.

The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep(nonduality.

The universe, which is born out of consciousness, becomes one with consciousness after physical death.

Perfect understanding of 'what is what will help you to overcome the ignorance, which is the cause of experiencing the illusory universe as a reality.

Remember:~

You are not separate from the ego because you are the ego.

Without the ego, you and the world in which you exist cease to exist.

In the awareness of the ego, the world in which you exist is a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, form, time, and space prevail as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the dualistic illusion or Maya prevails as reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the three states prevail as reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the ‘I’ prevails as a reality.

If ‘I’ prevails as reality, the ignorance prevails as reality.

Self-knowledge or Advaitic wisdom is necessary to get rid of ignorance.

Without Self-awareness, the universe prevails as reality. Self-awareness means the conscious awareness of the Soul hidden by the ‘I’. In Self-awareness, the reality of the universe fades away. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
