Some Gurus say ‘there is no other God but you but it is an error
How can you say you are God because you are not the ‘Self’?
The Soul, the Self, is God, which witnesses the coming and going of the ‘I’.
The seeker has to make sure what this ’ I ’ is supposed to be? The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’, which comes and goes, to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole.
People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.
You are stuck to the ‘I’ by saying ‘I AM THAT’. The ‘Self’ is not an individual to identify the ‘Self’ as ‘I AM’. How can you identify the ‘Self as ‘I AM’, when the ‘Self’ is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence?
People say Aham Brahmasmi -- I am God, I am Brahman. I AM THAT, but when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman remains, not the ‘I’.
People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that the ‘I’ is not the Self, but the Soul, the witness of the ‘I’, is the true Self, which is eternal.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "I," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.
People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated that the Self is the ‘I’.
There is no need to convince such a mindset that refuses to accept anything other than its accepted truth.
The seeker of truth accepts only the truth, nothing but the truth. The truth is hidden by the ‘I,’ but it is without the ‘I.
Some Gurus in the past glorified the ‘I’ without verifying what this ‘I’ is an actuality. And followers of that ‘I’ based teaching Got stuck with the ‘I’.
The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present.
The mind is present only when the universe is present.
The universe is present only when the waking is present.
If the ‘I’ is absent, then the mind, the universe, the waking, is absent.
~ It means the ‘I’, the mind, the universe, the waking, are one and the same thing.
This is very important for the seeker to know to realize that the ‘I’ itself is ignorance; to overcome the ignorance, they have to discard ‘I’.
Then why use the word ‘I’ for the ‘Self’, which is the cause of ignorance?
The innermost Self is God. It is not “I AM GOD, but it’s correct to say ‘the SELF IS GOD, because the Self is not the ‘I’ or ’I AM.
That is why Buddha said:~
Do not believe a spiritual teaching just because: ~
1. It is repeatedly recited,
2. It is written in a scripture,
3. It was handed from Guru to disciple,
4. Everyone around you believes it,
5. It has supernatural qualities,
6. It fits my beliefs anyway,
7. It sounds rational to me,
8. It is taught by a respectable person,
9. It was said to be the truth by the teacher,
10. One must defend it or fight for it.
No second thing existed before the appearance of the ‘I’, and ‘I’ never exists now, and also ‘I’ never exists in the future. Whatever appeared as the ‘I’ is merely an illusion.
Let you be clear on one thing. The ‘I’ is merely a dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. But in reality, ‘I’ neither exists in the past nor exists now, nor is going to exist in the future. Whatever existed in the past, whatever exists now, and whatever is going to exist in the future is merely an illusion created by the consciousness.
Whatever has appeared as ‘I’ is nothing but consciousness? The ‘I’ has no value because it is merely an illusion.
You search for the truth, and you will find only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. If you search for the Soul, then you will find only the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
