The thought and thinker are noting to do with the Soul, which is hidden by the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.+

Deeper self-search reveals: ~ Thoughtlessness is not wisdom.   In deep sleep, there is thoughtlessness but deep sleep is the state of ignorance.  The thought comes to the thinker. 

The thinker, thought and the world in which thinkers exist are part of the waking experience. The waking experience is merely an illusion.  

Thought and thinker are a reality within the universe. The thinker and the thought exist within the universe. The man and his experience of the universe are a reality within the waking experience.  

From the ultimate standpoint, the waking experience is merely an illusion.

The waking entity thinks within the waking experience.  The dream entity thinks within the dream. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when  Advaitic wisdom dawns. 

The Advaitic wisdom dawns when the waking entity becomes aware of the fact that it, itself is not the self, but the Soul, the Self is that which witnesses the coming and going of the three states. 

The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.  Thus, the seeker must realize the existence of the formless witness of the three states apart from the three states. 

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is also the substance of the three states. The Soul or the consciousness is within the three states yet it is apart from the three states.   

The Soul or consciousness is hidden by the three states as the substance of the three states,  and it is apart from the three states as their formless witness. 

In reality, the formless substance and the witness are one in essence.  Thus, all three states are one in essence.  

Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than that essence, which is consciousness. 

Thus, the consciousness alone is all else is merely an illusion.  This is rational truth, ultimate truth, and universal truth. 

Remember:~

Till one thinks he is an individual separate from this world he remains in the realm of dualistic illusion or Maya. The dualistic illusion or Maya is the product of ignorance.  When the wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes. When the ignorance vanishes, then the dualistic illusion or Maya never remains as reality. 

The Self does not lie in our body, in our brain, but it is the very essence of the dual and non-dual experiences, which appears as the waking or the dream (dual) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality).

Thought and thinker are a reality within the universe. The thinker and the thought exist within the universe. The man and his experience of the universe is a reality within the waking experience.  

The waking experience is merely an illusion from the standpoint. of the Soul, the  Self, Therefore, the individual experiences are part of the illusion. Thus, the thought and the thinker are part of the illusion. 

The thought and thinker have nothing to do with the Soul, which is hidden by the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Positive and negative thoughts and the thinker are made of the same material.  Whether one thinks rightly or wrongly he is thinking as a person. 

The thoughts will not rise without the form.  Without the form, there are neither thoughts nor the thinker.  

Thus, the positive or negative thinking or right or wrong thinking is part of the physical existence.  physical existence has nothing to do with ultimate truth.    

Experience is prior to thought. Only in the waking or the dream,  one gets thoughts. Therefore, one has to mentally trace the source of the waking or dream experience to realize the waking experience is as unreal as a dream. 

Only in religion and the yogic path, one has to follow and practice. Everyone thinks he has to follow some guru or Godmen.  But all these methods are full of frustrations and give no real satisfaction. 

Reality has no method. The illusion has many methods, many problems, and many concepts. To overcome illusion or concepts, one should know the source of the mind and from where does this mind arise? “When the mind is there the universe is there. 

Absent of mind absent of the universe.  The absence of the universe is absent of duality. Absent of the duality is absent of the thinker, thoughts, and the world.  

Thus, until one becomes aware of 'what is the mind' and 'what is the substance of the mind' and 'what is the source of the mind', it is impossible to assimilate non-dualistic or Advaitic truth. 

To know the non-dual Reality, deeper thinking is required. The thinking faculty ceases and becomes still when it reaches the source of the mind. 

The seeker has to realize the waking entity is the false self within the false experience from the ultimate standpoint. 

 Where there is no experience then there is no duality where there is no duality then there is no second thing that exists other than Self-awareness.  Therefore, the seeker has to indulge in deeper self-search and trace and overcome the obstacles. 

For the sincere and the serious seekers,  the inner grace will guide them until ignorance vanishes,  and they become aware that the diversity (universe or Illusion) is a mere mirage created out of consciousness (Atman). :~Santthosh Kumaar
