He who has realized the ultimate truth or Brahman transcends the dualistic illusion or Maya where he sees no second thing other than consciousness..+

It is not you who has to be free. The Soul, the Self, has to be free from you and your experience of the world. Till you hold the Self as you, the Soul, the ‘Self’ -will remain in the cage of ignorance.

You and the world in which you exist are the product of ignorance. Only the ignorant will say you become free. You are the false identity within the dualistic illusion. 

The Soul, the Self has nothing to do with you and the world in which you exist because the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusion as reality. Ignorance is the root cause of our bondage. So, to end this bondage and attain liberation from experiencing the illusion as a reality, ignorance, which is the root cause, must be destroyed. Ignorance can be destroyed only by acquiring  Advaitic wisdom. 

Advaitic Wisdom is how Self-realization is desired to be attained. Self-realization is the highest end of man since it destroys the root of ignorance, the cause of the universe.

Only Advaitic wisdom destroys the ignorance. Advaitic wisdom eradicates foundational ignorance. Advaitic wisdom alone is the means to attaining liberation from the dualistic illusion.

He who has realized the ultimate truth or Brahman transcends the dualistic illusion or Maya where he sees no second thing other than consciousness.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego and experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the Soul. He is fully aware that there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is hidden by ignorance. 

Yogi who sees the universe as reality may try to deny it because he thinks thoughtlessness is Brahman. The yogi sees the universe as a second thing and he wants to banish the universe in Samadhi because he does not know that in nonduality there is no need to deny the universe. But he has to realize that, the universe is not something different from the ‘Self’, which is consciousness. 

Those who cannot grasp and realize this position, misunderstand it, and wrongly hold it to be yogic Samadhi where there is only blankness.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
