The realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman is possible only when the seeker inquires into the nature of the ‘I’.
The one that appears as the duality and disappears as nonduality is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Do not try to know who you are? By inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’, you will never reach the ultimate end of understanding. ‘Who am ‘I? ’ is only helpful in the beginning; in later stages, it is inadequate to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
The ‘I’ appears along with the world in which you exist.
The ‘I’ disappears along with the world in which you exist.
Try to find out what this ‘I’ is that appears and disappears. What is it that knows this appearance and disappearance of the ‘I’?
There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ ceases to exist without consciousness.
The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent (consciousness) is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16
The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole.
The ‘I’ hides the invisible Soul. Therefore, the seeker has to realize ‘what is 'I’ supposed to be in actuality.
If the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the invisble Soul, then on the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self: ~
Where is the ‘I’?
Where is the ego?
Where is the body?
Where is the mind?
Where is the world in which you exist?
Where are the form, time, and space?
Where is the waking experience?
Where is the duality?
Where is the void?
They are or have become one with the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present only when the world is present. The world is present only when there is a waking experience.
Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience is not considered different from the world. The world is not considered different from the mind. The mind is not considered different from the’ I’. This truth has to be assimilated.
The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. ‘I’ is not the subject. The ‘I’ is an object to the invisible Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
