The individual’s experience of birth, life, death, and the world has nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self.+

The individual’s experience cannot be disputed, because the experience one went through was real to him; though that may not be real, from the absolute point of view, because the individual is part of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

The individual’s experience of birth, life, death, and the world has nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self, because the invisible Soul, the Self, is unborn and eternal.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is unborn and eternal because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The invisible Soul is hidden by the world in which you exist. It is hidden because the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Remember:~

The dualistic illusion or Maya has no reality from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, because the illusion and the reality are one, in essence. There is no scope for toe in the Advaitic reality.

The seeker has to make a distinction between the soulcentric view and the egocentric view of things.

The experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya. The dualistic illusion appears as the waking or dream.

The waking experience is a parallel dream, and the dream is a parallel waking experience. The waking or dream (duality) disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). In deep sleep, there is neither the waking nor the dream.

The one that appears as waking, one that appears as a dream, and one that remains without the waking or dream is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, all three states are nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the three states are non-existent as a reality.

To the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self: ~

What are projection and retraction, what are the end and means; what are the failure and success of the invisible Soul, which is formless, timeless, and spaceless in its nature.

The illusory world that appears and merges back into its essence is not an appearance at all.

What is the knower, the means of knowledge, the object of knowledge; what is anything or nothing to the invisible Soul, which is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Knower, knowledge, object, thing, nothing, or any word one may utter is, after all, they are the word and words have meaning only within the illusion. Consciousness is ever-present in all three states, but as a person, one is unconscious of consciousness because he think the Self is their body.

When all-knowing, known, and knower are simultaneously mental as in the dream, what else is there to trouble about understanding them? Because one considers the waking experience as a reality, one is incapable of understanding and assimilating the Advaitic truth.

What is the distraction? What is the concentration, dullness, and delusion, happiness, and sorrow to the invisible Soul, which is ever actionless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless?

As a person, one may be drawn to observe his body and the world, but the Gnani is not disturbed because he has realized his body and his experience of the world are made of consciousness.

The physical attributes have nothing to do with the invisble Soul, the Self wrongly; all the attributes belong to the ego, not the invisible Soul. Identifying the physical attribute with the invisible Soul is the cause of ignorance. :: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
