You cannot separate the ‘I’ from the universe in which you exist because the ‘I’ itself is the universe.+

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ “Don't unsettle the minds of the ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth."

Remember, all the ‘I-centric Gurus and their teachings are dualistic. The dualistic Knowledge is not Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

Such teaching keeps the invisble Soul in the cage of the dualistic illusion. Sticking to such teaching will not free the invisible Soul from ignorance.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

If you are seeking truth then do not get stuck to Gurus and their teaching. Sticking to gurus emotionally is sticking to ignorance. Do not be a slave be an independent thinker.

That is why Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”

You have to begin your inquiry into the nature of the universe and in due course, this inquiry produces the realization of the Soul, the universal spirit as the result.

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 human thought

The universe is not different from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, because the universe is made of consciousness.

Thus, consciousness alone is and all else (universe) is merely an illusion. Thus, the illusion is not different from consciousness, which the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

You cannot separate the ‘I’ from the universe in which you exist because the ‘I’ itself is the universe. The ‘I’ is the very basis of the world in which you exist.

Without realizing, what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality, how can you realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space?

Without the ‘I’ the form, time and space cease to exist.

If the form, time, and space cease to exist then the universe, in which you exist cease to exist.

If the universe, in which you exist cease to exist then the ‘I’ cease to exist.

The Soul is not different from the universe because the universe is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Only in ignorance, there is diversity or separation. In reality, diversity or separation has no place.

If the ‘I’ cease to exist then there is ‘I- LESS’-awareness, which is the nature of the Soul, the Self. The invisible Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman, or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
