In Atmic--awareness, the body is not the body, but it is consciousness, the ego is not the ego, but it is consciousness, the world is not the world, but it is consciousness.+

All agendas are within the dualistic illusion or Maya, which appears in the form of mind (I or the universe). The Self is hidden within the dualistic illusion as its formless substance and it is without the illusion as its formless witness.

The formless witness is the one which witnesses the body and the universe together. Thus, the ‘I’ awareness is physical-awareness(waking) is not Atnic-awareness. 

In Atmic-awareness, the body is not the body, but it is consciousness, the ego is not the ego, but it is the consciousness, the world is not the world, but it is consciousness even though they exist, their unreal nature is exposed.

Just as the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place, the waking also becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. The witness is which witnesses the coming and going of the three states. This truth has to be grasped mentally to realize the existence of the formless witness. 

Once this truth is grasped mentally, then one has to cling to the formless witness. Once one clings to this formless witness mentally then the subconscious has the yardstick to accept the truth and reject the untruth.

Thus, deeper Self-search is necessary to understand and assimilate to have a firm conviction of ‘what is what’ to get Self-awareness.

A deeper self-search reveals that: All agendas are within the dualistic illusion, which appears in the form of mind (I) or the universe or waking experience.

The Self is hidden within the dualistic illusion as its formless substance and it is without the illusion as its formless witness. 

The formless witness is the one who witnesses the body and the universe together. Thus, the ‘I’ awareness is physical (waking) and is not Atmic-awareness. 

In Atmic-awareness, the body is not the body, but it is consciousness, the ego is not the ego, but it is consciousness, the world is not the world, but it is the consciousness even though they exist, their unreal nature is exposed.

Deeper Self-search reveals that the Soul (consciousness), the body, and the world are one in essence. Therefore, no second thing exists, other than Soul, which is in the form of consciousness.

Realizing all three states, are created out of consciousness and that there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness leads to Atmic-awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
