This material existence is mere mirage. It is like a wax in the candle it will burn away. All attempts for freedom is possible only when one is ready to overcome the ignorance. To overcome the ignorance is possible only when one realizes the birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion created out of consciousness. The consciousness is ultimate truth. And the one who knows this truth knows the knower [consciousness] is free from the known [mind].
Through Self-knowledge, all of one’s egocentric successes and all of his credible accomplishments within the duality are ultimately evaporated and consciousness alone will prevail as non-dual existence.
Karma is universal principle only on the base of false self [ego], within the illusion. The cause and effect is reality, only on the base of false self. The fact is Atman or the soul is the true self, which is in the form of consciousness and Atman or soul is uncaused. Buddhism says, there is nothing - nonentity. Advaita says there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be.
When the self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the self is the formless seer of the three states and is apart. Thus the karma done is the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place so its effect also is unreal. Similarly, the waking experience also becomes unreal after self - Realization, then how the karma theory, which is based on false self within the false experience, will affect anyone. When the true self is birthless and deathless then the question of rebirth does not arise.
Brahman is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (brahmano hi pratisthaham, Bhagavad Gita 14.27)
Atman is Brahman:- the self is formless Atman ,which is in the form of consciousness is ultimate reality or Brahman. Thus on the base of formless self or consciousness the Karma theory is mere illusory theory created within the false experience on the base of the false entity.
Thus karma which is done within false experience with false identity is bound to be falsehood. Thus the karma theory is mere imagined theory created by the sages in the past for the general mass who are unable to think beyond physicality to judge their own action to indulge in good karma, which in turn helps the society in live in peace and harmony. Desire of getting good life and benefits in next world and next life people indulge in doing good deeds and by fear of going to hell and bad life in next life and next world they avoid indulging in bad deeds in this practical world.
