For a Gnani, the world is merely an illusion. He sees the world in which he exists as an object; thus, for a Gnani, the world in which birth, life, and death happen is a passing show.
The commoner thinks he is an individual separate from the world, and the world existed prior to him, and he was born in it. Until this conviction is there, the world in which he exists prevails as a reality. Therefore, there is a need to realize that the one who is born, lives, and dies in this world is not the Self.
The Self is a birthless and deathless Soul because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
From the ultimate standpoint, nothing is ever born, nothing dies, and one that is born in ignorance. Ignorance is present in the form of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is the whole universe. The universe is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The birth is the birth of ignorance. Physical Life is a life of ignorance. Death is the death of ignorance. Whatever exists without ignorance is the ultimate reality or Brahman, or God in truth. :: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
