First realize 'Self' is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present I the form of the consciousness.+

Even though the Self is something other than this waking entity (ego), the majority of people still identify themselves with ego.

The main reason people identify their-Self with the waking entity (ego) is their ignorance of the Real Self.

Whosoever identifies his- Self with this bundle of bones and flesh are caught up in the grip of dualistic Illusion. Now the question arises:

If the Self is not this waking entity, then what is that Self? The real Self is not the waking entity but the formless Soul, which witnesses the waking entity and waking world together.

The scriptures declare that Self is the Soul the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness or Spirit ~the three states are mere an illusion created out of the consciousness. That's all.

The three states are is temporary, while the Soul the innermost Self is immortal, Therefore, this waking entity and waking experience are the false (impermanent), and the Soul, the innermost Self is True (permanent).

Why you are struggling to realize the truth. First, realize 'Self' is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present I the form of the consciousness. Without realizing the fact that the ‘Self is not you but the Soul you will never be able to cross the domain of the dualistic illusion.

The dualistic illusion is present in the form of the ‘I’-awareness. The ‘I’ –awareness is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or dreams (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality).

The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that the ‘I’-awareness is a mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not Self-awareness.

Self–awareness is when the formless Soul or the consciousness remains aware of its own nondual true nature.

The real Moksha is freedom from experiencing the duality as reality by realizing the fact that, the ‘I’ awareness, which is present in the form of the universe (Mind) is merely physical awareness.

From Nondualistic perspective the physical awareness is mere an illusion. Ignorance is the cause of the physical-awareness.

When ignorance vanishes through wisdom, then the unreal nature of the physical awareness is exposed then there is freedom (Moksha) from experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
