Life within the waking experience will go on, on its own. It is nothing to do with the Soul the Self.+*****

Q:~Sir can you throw light on "why do we become conscious of people or surroundings. Why does becoming conscious makes uncomfortable and how to overcome this

Santthosh Kumaar: ~Suppose if you had asked the same question in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes palace. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. 

On the Standpoint of the Soul, the Self, you along with the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.  Thus, all your experiences and all the happening within the illusion is bound to be an illusion.  Until ignorance is there, the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.

If the Self is not you then whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as ‘you’ is bound to be a falsehood. The falsehood (waking) is created out of the single stuff, that single stuff is the consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  It takes time to understand and assimilate what I am saying, but as we go deeper and deeper the truth starts revealing on its own.

Until we realize the world in which we exist as reality the Soul the Self is caught up in the prison of ignorance.   

When the ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then you along with the world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes an illusion.

The dream is a parallel waking experience and waking experience is a parallel dream.  The one witness the dream is not you but the Soul. The same witness witnesses the waking as a whole. Thus, whatever individual experience happens within the waking is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, because the Soul is ever formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

All confusion arises because we hold the universe in which we exist as a reality whereas from the ultimate standpoint the universe in which we exist is a dualistic illusion or Maya.

Self-realization is necessary to realize you along with the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.  

Remember: ~

If one says this universe is real then: ~

A person, who stamped his foot on the ground to refute to show the world, is real, ignore that in a dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real. 

Advaitin Sage and Maya:~

The King of the Hoysalas was a dualist and was greatly incensed at the doctrine taught Advaitin Sage that everything here below is an illusion. He wanted to teach the exponent of this doctrine a lesson. So he invited the then Advaitin Sage to his palace. That Advaitin sage went there and stoutly maintained that everything in this world was an illusion. The king had arranged to let loose an infuriated elephant against, Advaitin sage. The beast rushed at Advaitin sage who took to a precipitate flight to save himself.

'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast seeing that the elephant is only an illusion?'

'Oh, king,' said Advaitin sage in the course of his flight, 'my running too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.’

Similarly, the practical life within the practical world is mere illusion. A Gnani is fully aware of ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘what is untruth?’. A Gnani e is fully aware of the fact that the experiences the pleasure and pain within the waking experience is merely an illusion because the waking experience itself is an illusion.

Thus, life within the waking experience will go on, on its own.  It is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self.  The waking or dream is merely an object to the formless witness. The Soul is the  Self. The Soul is the witness. The Soul the witness is nothing to do with the three states, because it is merely the witness of the coming and going of the three states or dualistic illusion or Maya. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
