Consciousness is ‘One’ and all divisions of the form, time and space are an illusory division created out of consciousness.

Consciousness means existence. The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. No division in consciousness is admissible at any time as it is always one and the same. Even the world in which we exist must be known as false, like the delusion of a snake in a rope.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. 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. The consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. consciousness is present in the form of the Soul, the Self.

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.

The Soul, the Self is formless and non-dual, one without a second. It has no other besides It. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. The Soul cannot be described because description implies a distinction. The Soul cannot be distinguished from any other than it. In the Soul, there is no distinction between substance and attribute. Nondualistic awareness constitutes the very essence of the Soul and not just its attributes.

The Soul is impersonal. It becomes a person only through its association with the three states or illusion.

As through the ignorance of the real nature of the rope, the very rope appears in an instant as a snake, so also does Soul or consciousness appear in the form of the waking or dream without undergoing any change.

There exists no other material cause of this waking or dream except consciousness. Hence, these three states are nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

All the three states are consciousness, because they arise from consciousness, and sustained by consciousness, and finally, dissolve as consciousness. The idea of the pervaded and the pervading is illusory. When this supreme truth is realized, then there is no room for any distinction between the cause and the effect.

Certainly, there is no manifoldness in consciousness. The non-dual cause being an established fact, how could the three states be different from consciousness, when they are created out of consciousness?

Remember:~

You are unaware of the fact that the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

All these experiences as a father, son, Guru, and pupil the world in which they all exist were one and the same consciousness appearing differently. All these distinctions disappear when one realizes the Self is not ‘I’ but the Soul. The Soul is the cause of this world in which we exist and it itself is uncaused.

Some Gurus declare watch the ‘I. The reality is just behind it. Keep quiet and keep silent, it will emerge or rather it will take you in.” Accepting such a statement of Gurus blindly leads to hallucination.

By relaxing and watching the ‘I’ you will not realize the reality hidden by the ‘I. Without knowing what this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality the ignorance will prevail.

By relaxing or by keeping quiet or being silent within the dualistic illusion the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of the ignorance the wisdom will not dawn.

The seeker of truth must shed prejudices and get disentangled from all that is not needed to acquire Self-knowledge. You must tread the path to the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the knowledge that unfolds the mystery of the universe. The universe is created out of single stuff. And that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. Without the ‘I’ the mind ceases to exist.

The mind is present when the universe is present. Without mind, the universe ceases to exist.

The universe is present only when the waking is present. Without the universe, the waking ceases to exist.

So, without the ‘I’ the mind or universe or the waking cease to exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul is the innermost ‘Self’, the ‘I’ the mind or universe or the waking cease exists as a reality.

The Soul is the ‘Self’ that can remain with or without the ‘I’.

Slowly but surely you must imbibe the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space by realizing the form, time and space are one in essence.

When you enthrone the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness in your subconscious, you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusory play of consciousness.

Consciousness is ‘One’ and all divisions of the form, time and space are an illusory division created out of consciousness. The seeker has to establish in formless, timeless, and spaceless existence by realizing the form, time and space are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, which is real and eternal. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
