The ‘I’ itself is the illusory bondage because the ‘I’ itself is the cause of ignorance.
In reality, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
If the invisible Soul is free from the ‘I’, then it is free from ignorance.
If the invisible Soul is free from ignorance, then there is no bondage of form, time, and space. The bondage is present only when the ‘I’ is present.
When the invisible Soul is free from the ‘I’, then it is free from the bondage of form, time, and space.
If the invisible Soul is free from the bondage of form, time, and space, then it is free from the bondage of the universe.
If the invisible Soul is free from the bondage of the universe, then it is free from the waking experience.
If the invisible Soul is free from the waking experience, then it is free from the experience of birth, life, and death.
If the invisible Soul is free from the experience of birth, life, and death, then it is free from the dualistic illusion.
If the invisible Soul is free from the dualistic illusion, then it is in its own awareness.
A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.
Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.
It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until one gets a firm conviction of 'what is what'. Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.
People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think, reason, and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.
Swami Vivekananda: ~Jñāna Yoga is divided into three parts. First: hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya. Second: reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ’what is untruth’. It takes time for the invisible Soul, the Self, to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
