The universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya appears as ‘I’.+

It is very difficult for those who strongly believe the Self’ as the ‘I’, to realize the 'Self' hidden by the 'I.'

Most of the spiritual paths hold the Self as ‘I’ and spin their imagination on the base of ‘I’, which leads them to hallucination.

People mistake that Self as “I” whereas the gross bodies are many. So the Self is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is hidden by the ‘I’.

The seeker must realize what this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality. Just because some Gurus propagated the ‘Self as ‘I’ holding the ‘Self’ as ‘I’ is a great error.

That is why Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

The universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya appears as ‘I’.

The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking. The waking appears as ‘I’ (duality) disappears as ‘I- less (non-duality). That is Soul, the 'Self' appears as universe and universe diapers as the Soul. Whatever appears as ‘I’ is the dualistic illusion?

Remember: ~

The ‘Self is not you. The ‘Self’ is not in the world, in which you exist. The ‘Self’ is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself is causeless. The ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘Self ‘is nothing to do with the world in which you exist because the ‘Self’ is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
