The seeker has to examine the nature of the ‘I’ under the mental microscope to realize the 'I' itself is an illusion.

The seeker must bring the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space out of vagueness into clearness. The dualistic knowledge is not Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The form is not different from time. Time is not different from space because the form, time, and space are created out of a single clay. That single clay is consciousness.

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

Without the ‘I’ the universe ceases to exist. Without the universe, the waking ceases to exist. Without waking, your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world cease to exist.

Consciousness is hidden by the universe because the universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara said: ~A.A~ 88. When the whole universe, movable and immovable, is known to be Atman (consciousness), and thus the existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say that the body is Atman?

The ‘Self’ is not the mind. The mind is present in the form of not the world in which we exist. The world appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

The ‘Self’ is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness pervades in everything and everywhere in all three states. Thus, diversity is created out of single stuff. That stuff is consciousness.

Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman because there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. On the standpoint of the Soul, the form, time, and space are one in essence.

In spirituality, God means the ultimate truth or Brahman. Self –realization is truth- realization. Truth- realization is God-realization.

Sage Sankara: ~VC~ if the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.

That is why Sage Sankara: ~ “Brahman is the truth. The World is unreal everything is truly Brahman and nothing else has any value. :~Santthosh Kumaar
