Without realizing the Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, Self-realization is impossible. +

Ability to observe the Soul, the Self as it is in the midst of the illusion through the Advaitic wisdom leads to Self-awareness.

For a Gnani sees the world in which he exists as consciousness, just as the goldsmiths view the ornaments as nothing but the gold.

The whole universe is nothing but the Soul. Therefore, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The universe is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

Realizing the universe as an illusion leads the seeker to realize, that consciousness hidden by the illusion as real and eternal.

You are not you but the consciousness; your body is not the body but consciousness, the world in which you exist is not the world but consciousness.

Everything that is known, seen, believed and experienced by you is nothing but consciousness then what else remains, which is not consciousness. There is nothing else to realize other than to realize the consciousness alone is, everything else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara says:~ VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

Remember: ~ 

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. 

Without realizing the Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, Self-realization is impossible.  Without Self-realization, you and the world in which you exist prevail as a reality. 

If you and the world in which you exist prevail as a reality then ignorance hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.  

First, you must realize you and the world in which you exist are part of the dualistic illusion or Maya.   

You and the world in which you exist is nothing to do with the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion. It is hidden by the dualistic illusion because it is created out of the ‘Self’, which is the Soul. 

The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.   Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. 

It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The Soul is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.  : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
