The invisible Soul, the Self, has no attributes or tags. Hence, the person who superimposes all those attributes on the changeless, eternal Soul, the Self, and identifies the Self with the ‘I’ is confusing one for the other; and is, therefore, an ignorant person.

A person who engages in rituals with the notion 'I' as the Self is ignorant; the ‘I’ itself is an ignorance. ignorance can be removed by Self-knowledge.

The seeker of truth must have his belief in one eternal, unchanging reality (Brahman) and the dualistic illusion.

A Gnani drives home the point that Self-knowledge deals not with rituals but with the knowledge of the invisible Soul, the Self. Sage Sankara gives us an insight into the essential nature of the Self, which is identical with the Absolute, the Brahman.

Sage Sankara: ~ Atman, the Self, is verily Brahman (God in truth), being equanimous, quiescent, and by nature absolute Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss. Atman is not the body that is non-existence itself. This is called true Knowledge by the wise.

Realizing the universe is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, leads to non-dualistic or Advaitic awareness. Self-awareness is freedom or Moksha. Moksha is unity in diversity in the midst of the dualistic illusion. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
