You and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. I can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work. It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality.

One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until one gets a firm conviction of 'what is what'. Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.

People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think, reason, and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the 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 hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

Remember:~

Pain and pleasure belong to you. You belong to the illusory universe.

Pain and pleasure have nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the illusory universe.

The whole universe is created out of a single clay, and that single clay is consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC~"All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman, which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Sage Sankara says: ~ What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead to the final Goal. (Commentary on Vedanta Sutra).

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real, and waking experience, which is present in the form of the universe, is unreal. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman, or God in truth.

Brahman is undifferentiated consciousness, devoid of parts, attributes, form, changes, or limitations whatsoever.

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is Self-luminous and all-pervading and one only, without a second.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is the fullness of consciousness. In reality, it is ever-free. Within the dualistic illusion, the invisible Soul is caught up in the prison of the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance. Consciousness is existence absolute, awareness absolute.

Existence absolute means that consciousness is not unreal or non-existent. And it is not unconsciousness. Nothing positive can be stated about consciousness.

The invissie Soul, the Self, is the One without a second. There is not the least shadow of multiplicity in the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
