The dream world, the dream people appeared together and disappeared together and disappear together.+*****

The three states are an object to the formless Soul, which is the subject. The three states are a state of ignorance. In all the three states the Soul, the innermost Self is in ignorance of its own formless non-dual true nature. This ignorance is the cause of forgetfulness. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the three states as a reality. The three states are the cause of experiencing individuality as a reality.

Individuality is the cause of experiencing birth, life, death, and the world as reality. The witness and the three states are one in essence. In the realm of the truth, the three states are non-existent as a reality. In Self-awareness, the three states are non-existent because they are one in essence. 

If the waking experience itself is an illusion then the dream is bound to be an illusion. 

The dream is an experience within the dualistic illusion or Maya. The dream body, dream ego, and the dream world are merely an experience, which appeared and disappeared. Likewise, the waking body, ego and the waking world also merely experiences, which appears and disappears the same way as the dream. The dream entity is limited to the dream, and the waking entity is limited to waking experience. The one that witnesses, the three states, is formless, apart and eternal. This has to be mentally grasped. What exists eternally is the Soul, which is in the form of consciousness. 

The words are mere communication purposes. When one bases his understanding on the physical base then the word and thoughts continuously convey something. When one’s understanding is firm with conviction that, the Soul is the ‘Self’, then for him the words, thoughts, and experience are merely an illusion. 

When one is fully aware of the fact that, the body and the world are merely an experience and the author of the experience () is not physical, but the formless Soul (consciousness or spirit), then he is fully aware of the fact that ‘I’/YOU/ME and the world is merely an experience.

The experience implies duality. The duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint. Thus whatever is experienced on the base of ‘I’/YOU/ME is a falsehood. Thus one has to realize the fact that, the witness of the three states is not the waking entity but the formless Soul. From the standpoint of the Soul, the three states are mere an illusion

Remember:~

In a dream, the man and the world are dream objects and all actions and thinking are happening. If one is the dream entity, there must be a dreamer. The formless witness witnesses the dream in which man and his experience of the world are present. Thus, the dream is an object to the formless witness. Similarly, man and his experience of the world, his actions and his thinking are happening within the waking experience. Therefore, there is no difference between waking and the dream. The witness of the three states is within and it is formless and apart. It is within as the formless substance of the three states and it is apart as the formless witness of the three states. It has nothing to do with the waking and dream entity because it is the witness of the whole waking or dream entity.

The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns then waking experience becomes unreal. Wisdom dawns when the waking entity realizes the fact that it itself is not the Self but the Self is formless Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states without the physical apparatus.

The dream world, the dream people appeared together and disappeared together and disappear together. Similarly, the waking world and waking people appeared together and disappear together.   

Thus, the dream is created out of single stuff and that stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The same way the waking experience also created out of single stuff. And that single stuff is the consciousness.  The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the cause of the three states and it itself is uncaused.  The many Soul theories are religious and yogic fable based on the false self(ego) and false experience (waking).

Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness is consciousness in its essence.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. God neither comes nor goes, but God exists always. The form, time, and space, which appears as disappears are mere an illusion. Thus, all the form-based Gods are merely an illusion. God is the cause of the form, time, and space, and God is causeless.

Why worship God based on the illusory form, time, and space, Self-realization is God-realization and God-realization is the real worship. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
