The 'I' itself is Maya. The Maya is a dualistic
illusion. The dualistic illusion or Maya itself is the mind. Mind itself is the
universe. the universe itself is waking.
Know what this mind is in actuality. People mistake
the ego for the mind. The illusion is not the projection of the mind.
It is high time to realize the mind is not within
the body, but the body and the world are within the mind. The mind itself is
an illusion.
Without knowing what is the mind it is impossible to
realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present.
The mind is present in the form of the universe.
The universe appears as the
waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The
one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness.
Thus, all three
states are nothing but consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and
all the three states are merely an illusion.
When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of
the duality.
Thus, it is necessary to have a perfect
understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
Illusion’s "concealing power" merely
means that when one looks at an ice block he thinks only of the ice block. But
a Gnani will think of the substance of the ice block too. That is a wise man
has the knowledge of the substance plus of the ice block. Similarly, a Gnani has the knowledge of the
universe and its formless substance.
Consciousness is concealed
because of ignorance. As a man, one is not aware of the fact that his body,
ego, and his experience of the world are merely an illusion created out of
consciousness.
When one becomes aware of the fact that, the universe is an illusion then there is no body no ego, and no world then there is
only the formless, timeless, and spaceless Soul, the Self, which is present in
the form of consciousness.
All is consciousness. The whole universe is
consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe
disappears, consciousness still remains without form, time, and space.
Remember:~
First, know ‘what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in
actuality’ then only what is hidden by the ‘I’ will be revealed.
If you realize the ‘Self ‘ not the ‘I’ but the Soul
then there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.
Realizing the Soul is not the ‘I’ but the Soul is
the Self is Self –realization.
There is no such thing as an individual Soul. The
Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness pervades everything
and everywhere in all three states. The three states are the product of
ignorance.
From the standpoint of the Soul, ‘Self’, there is no ignorance; therefore, the three states are nonexistent.
Only
from the dualistic perspective, one can speak about the individual Soul and the
universe. From the non-dualistic perspective, there is no second thing that exists
other than the Soul or consciousness.
What is it that becomes the waking? What is it that
becomes the deep sleep? What is that becomes the dream?
It is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness appears as a waking or dream (duality), and disappears as deep sleep
(non-duality).
Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which
is present in the form of consciousness. :
