Many souls theory is a religious theory based on the false self (ego) within the false world. When the world in which we exist is created out of a single clay and that single clay is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, the question of many souls does not arise. There is one and only Soul, which is the cause of the universe.
You are not the Self because you are mortal. You are mortal because you are bound by the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.
The Self is the invisible and unborn Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, and is immortal because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The one that is in ignorance is the invisible Soul; the one that has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance is the invisible Soul, the Self.
The universe in which you exist is the product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes, the universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness.
Without the illusion, the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, will prevail as the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth. Thus, the invisible Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Self-realization is necessary to realize ‘what is truth and ‘what is the untruth.
The Many Souls theory is based on the false self and false experience(world). When the whole universe is created out of a single stuff, which is the Soul, then whatever the universe contains is also consciousness. Thus, the Soul is one, and in ignorance, the diversity (world) appears as a reality.
Sage Sankara asks his opponents ~ "How do you know there are separate individual Souls? Have you seen the Soul of a Man? You can only say that you have seen different bodies. To say more is to misuse language. Therefore, I call you liars unless you give proof, which is impossible.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe.
So, it proves the invisible Soul is not an individual, but it is the support of all that exists in this universe.
The invisible Soul is not limited to an individual. The individuals are many, but the invisible Soul is one. The individual exists within the illusory universe. The invisible Soul is the cause of the illusory universe, and it itself is uncaused.
The invisible Soul is not within the human body. The universe is created out of a single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, whatever universe contains is bound to be the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
In the dream world, the dream people appeared together and disappeared together. Similarly, the waking world and waking people appeared together and disappear together.
Thus, the dream is created out of a single piece of stuff, and that stuff is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In the same way, the waking experience is also created out of a single stuff. And that single stuff is the consciousness.
The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the cause of the three states, and it itself is uncaused. The many soul theories are religious and yogic fables based on the false self (ego) and false experience (waking).
Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge of Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is a permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe, is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.
Deeper self-search reveals the fact that you are not the Self, the world in which you exist is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, but the consciousness is specifically not an entity or identity or a thing within the world in which you exist. But it is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it itself is uncaused.
The invisible Soul is hidden by the illusory universe in which you exist. The nature of the invisible Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Thus, it is necessary to realize that the world in which you exist is created out of a single stuff, which is consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth.
Thus, God in truth alone is real; the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
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
