The invisible Soul, the Self, has no attributes or tags.+

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

The ultimate truth or Brahman or God can only be realized through Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+

People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

The ultimate truth or Brahman or God can only be realized through Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Only through Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana can one cross the domain of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Even then, it is only a rare one who sees the all-pervading Brahman (God in truth). He sees the Brahman within more clearly than you see the objects of this world with your physical eyes.

Brahman is to be grasped within and is not to be sought outside.

When there is a real longing to be united with Brahman, then he realizes the truth beyond form, time, and space. And still, only a rare one realizes Brahman.

When the invisible Soul remains in its own awareness, then there is oneness in the midst of diversity. In Self-awareness, the world in which we exist is merely an illusion. The invisible Soul, the Self itself, is God.

Realizing the Soul, the Self, is Self-realization or truth realization or God-realization. Self-awareness can never be achieved through an intellectual understanding of Advaita.

It is only one in millions who realizes that consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman, or God in truth.

A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that consciousness alone is Real, all else is merely an illusion.

No amount of studying Vedanta can give Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Until you think you are an individual separate from this world you will remain in the realm of dualistic illusion or Maya.+

The truth is that the world remains for the Gnani; the Gnani wipes out nothing, he is the most practical of men, he still sees all of the multiple objects and men, but he also sees their Oneness and their non-separateness from himself. He identifies himself with everything, everyone, even animals; their sorrow is his sorrow; their happiness, his happiness, and their well-being becomes his aim.

The study of Advaita must be repeated until you are absolutely convinced; your actions will be the test or evidence of such conviction, which alone is realization.

The experience of happiness and sorrow, riches, and poverty within the dream is a reality within the dream world.

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, waking the experience of happiness and sorrow, riches, and poverty also becomes unreal when you realize the Self is not you, but the  Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Until you think you are an individual separate from this world you will remain in the realm of dualistic illusion or Maya. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance or Maya.

When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then ignorance vanishes. When ignorance vanishes, then the illusory universe never remains as a reality.

From the standpoint of the invisible  Soul, the Self, the world, in which we all exist merely an illusion from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self.

Rest in consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

The invisible Soul is the fullness of consciousness without division of the form, time, and space.

Thus, consciousness alone is real, and eternal all else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

On the spiritual path, the seeker must have an intense urge to realize the truth hidden by ignorance.+

On the spiritual path, the seeker must have an intense urge to realize the truth hidden by ignorance.

All accumulated knowledge, accumulated from here and there, leads the seeker away from realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The seeker has to have a rational outlook to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory forms, time, and space.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is God. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, consciousness itself is God in truth. God in truth is not within you, but the universe in which you exist is created out of God in truth.

The universe in which you exist is created consciousness, which is God in truth.

Thus, all those Gods people believe in and all those Gods you worship are manmade Gods because in reality God alone is real and the universe in which we exist is merely an illusion.

People talk of making the mind free, without knowing what this mind actually is. The mind itself is the illusory cage to the invisible Soul, the Self.

It is necessary to realize what this mind is first, free the invisible Soul from the illusory cage of form, time, and space.

The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

The mind will not die because the mind is merely an illusion. When wisdom dawns, the unreal nature of the mind is exposed. In the same way as the unreal nature of the dream was exposed when waking takes place.

Till you think you are an individual separate from this world, you will remain in the realm of dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance.

When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then ignorance vanishes. When ignorance vanishes, then the duality never remains as a reality.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the world in which we all exist is merely an illusion from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self.

Rest in consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. The invisible Soul is the fullness of consciousness without division of form, time, and space. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal; all else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then this world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes unreal.+

Meher Baba: ~ "There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization."

Meher Baba Said: ~ A true aspirant is not content with the knowledge of spiritual realities based on hearsay... he insists on the direct knowledge."

Meher Baba said: ~ God is your innermost Self. Do not search for God outside of you. Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is, and all else is an illusion.

Meher Baba: Spirituality does not need renunciation of worldly activities. It means the internal renunciation of mundane desires. Mere asceticism does not lead to spirituality. The Infinite embraces all expressions of life.

Meher Baba:~ There is no difference in the realization of the Truth, either by a Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, or a Christian. The difference is only in words and terms. Truth is not the monopoly of a particular race or religion.

***

Thus, the seeker must realize ‘what God is supposed to be in actuality, then only will you realize the universe is merely an illusion created out of God.

Meher Baba: ~ “When the reality appears, this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.

***

Santthosh.Kumaar:~ When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then this world in which you exist, which you think of as reality, becomes unreal.

First, realize what is real and what is unreal, and mentally hold on to the real and drop the unreal.

In Atmic reality: ~

Where is the body?

Where is the mind?

Where is the world?

the void; or despair in the true Self, which is the taintless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. They are or have become conscious.

One thinks there is the mind when he has thoughts, but when thoughts are not considered different from the consciousness, which is the true Self, then where is the division into waking, dream, and deep sleep, etc?

Void implies duality: the universe may not exist, but the thought of the second is there. If one knows there is a Void (emptiness/nothingness), then there is something there to be known and known. They are or have become conscious.

All these appearances are merely an illusion that comes and goes; hence, meaningless to the invisible Soul, the Self.

The sun, the moon, the stars, and planets shine because of the invisible Soul or Spirit. The invisible Soul shines, and all things else shine as a result.

Everything in the universe reflects but that light of the invisible Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. Merely knowing the truth is not enough to escape from the tangle of illusion.

One who realizes the Self discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, names and forms, birth and death, thoughts and words, and deeds all are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time, and space. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular because consciousness is prior to any experience.+

Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular, because consciousness is prior to any experience.

Consciousness is the cause of the experience, and it itself is uncaused.

The invisible Soul is the Self. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

The invisible Soul or consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it.

Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is the true Self.

Consciousness is within, consciousness is without; consciousness is before, consciousness is behind; consciousness is on the right, consciousness is on the left; consciousness is above, and consciousness is below.

Until one thinks of his body as body, ego as ego, the universe as the universe, he remains in ignorance, because he is still in ignorance, and he is unaware of the fact that they too are consciousness.

There is a need to realize that the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.

When the matter is an illusion created out of the Spirit, then Spirit alone is real.

When the object is created out of the subject, then the subject alone is real.

When the world in which you exist is created out of consciousness, then consciousness alone is real.

Reality and unreality are created out of single stuff because the unreality (the world in which we exist) is experienced as a reality; we are unaware of the reality hidden by the unreality.

There is no second thing that exists other than the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The dualistic illusion, which is present in the form of the ‘I’, hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness:~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara: ~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Consciousness.+

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, which 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 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.

Remember:~

The doubter and the doubts, the questioner and the questions, and the answer and answerers, and the discusser and the discussion, and the world are part of the dualistic illusion because the universe itself is the dualistic illusion created out of a single clay. That single clay is the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time, and space.

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness), which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.

When you finally realize the Self is not you but the Self is the invisible Soul, then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara says: - VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you, and you are born in it afterward, ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there, the universe prevails as a reality. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
