Mentally reduce the world in which you exist as consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. To realize that God is hidden behind the illusory world in which you exist.

Why you are struggling to realize this simple truth. There is no need to go from one mountain to another, one Guru to another, one Ashram to another, read book after book.

Realize the world, in which you exist is nothing but the consciousness. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Everything is consciousness whether it exists as the world, in which you exist or without the world, in which you exist. 

Realizing the consciousness as the ultimate truth is truth realization. Truth realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization.

A permanent view of the world as an illusion can come only after Soul-centric reasoning; such knowledge cannot change. 

Where the seeker who is sufficiently sharp could grasp the unreal nature of the world by Soul-centric reasoning alone. To know the whole truth, one must know the whole universe, otherwise, he gets only a half-truth.

Renouncing the worldly life and accepting sanyasa or monkhood means the incapacity to think deeper, the impotency to inquire and reason.

People speak of getting rid of conditioning or samskara but they, themselves are unaware of the fact that the universe in which they exist is the product of the inborn samskara or conditioning. Ignorance is the cause of the inborn samskara or conditioning which is present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’.

The real Moksha or freedom is to realize that ‘I-awareness’  is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is present in the form of form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are present in the form of the mind. 

The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality) Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. Self-awareness is when the formless Soul or consciousness remains aware of its own non-dual true nature.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “Truly the dualism is the root of suffering. There is no other remedy for it than the realization that all this that we see is unreal and that the Soul, the innermost Self, is the one stainless reality, consisting of the consciousness”. 2:16

The sun, the moon, the stars, planets shine because of the Soul or Spirit. The Soul shines and all things else shine as a result. Everything in the universe reflects but that light of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. Merely knowing the truth is not enough to escape from the tangle of illusion.

The mind is in the form of the universe. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion. The illusion arises from ignorance. Enlightenment comes with detachment from the illusion by realizing the experience of the form, time and space are one in essence.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The Self is pure awareness though through ignorance the ‘Self has imagined itself to have additional attributes. By continually reflecting like this, the Self’s dwelling place is in the unimagined. 2:17

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “For the Self, there is neither bondage nor liberation. The illusion has lost its basis and ceased. Truly all this exists in the Self, though ultimately it does not even exist in the Self. 2:18

By saying I know the truth; I know Brahman is not wisdom. The truth is found only in the unity of understanding which is the knowledge of both the matter and spirit. That is the matter and the spirit, are one in essence. And that essence is the Spirit, which is present in the form of the Soul or consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaa
