You are nothing to do with the ‘Self’. Self-realization is possible only when you realize the Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul. 

Until you think the ‘Self is within you, you will never be able to realize ‘what ‘Self’ is in actuality.

Those who preached the ‘Self’ is within you propagated only half-baked knowledge. The ‘Self’ is within the world in which you exist because the Self is not an entity or identity within the world in which you exist. The 'Self' pervades the whole world in which you exist.

The ‘Self’ is the cause of the world, in which you exist and it itself is uncaused. The ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-realization.

Second Manduka - Chapter 2 (9) - There the stainless and indivisible Brahman shines in the highest, golden sheath. It is pure; it is the Light of lights; it is that which they know who knows the Self.

Second Manduka - Chapter 2 (10) - The sun does not shine there, nor the moon and the stars, nor this lightning, not to speak of this fire. When the ‘the Soul, the Self’ shines, everything shines after the Soul; by its light, everything is lighted.

The Soul appears as the universe in the waking and the universe disappears as the Soul in deep sleep. The Soul is the universe and the universe is the Soul. 

The universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The illusion and reality are nothing but consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.

When the Advaitic wisdom dawns then this world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes unreal.

The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. That means the dream entity, people within the dream and the dream world become unreal. The same way the waking experience becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. 

Advaitic Wisdom dawns when you realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

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

Second Manduka - Chapter 2 (11) - That immortal Brahman (Athma) alone is before, that Brahman is behind, that Brahman is to the right and left. Brahman alone pervades everything above and below; this universe is that Supreme Brahman alone. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
