The ‘I’ is prior to the thought. Remember this: the ‘I’ is not a thought.+

The ‘I’ is prior to the thought. Remember this: the ‘I’ is not a thought. ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is the form, time, and space together. The form, time, and space together is the universe. The universe appears as waking (duality) and disappears in deep sleep (nonduality).

The thoughts arise to you only in the waking experience. There are no thoughts in deep sleep.

The thoughts come to you because you are the thinker. You are not the Self, the Soul is the Self. The Soul, the Self has nothing to do with you and your thoughts and the world in which you exist. 

From the standpoint of the Soul, you and your thinking and your thoughts and the world in which you exist are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Some Gurus believe everything is nothing but the thought and when one realizes everything is thought realization happens. Such claims are merely a hallucination.

Thoughts and thinker, belong to the dualistic illusion or Maya. Without form, time, and space the thoughts will not form. Thoughts come to the thinker. 

The thinker is an individual whereas the ‘Self is not an individual. The source of the thoughts is the ego. Without the ego, the thoughts will not arise.

You are the thinker. The thoughts come to you. You are bound by form, time, and space whereas the Soul the Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. 

The thoughts will not rise in the domain of the Soul, the  ‘Self’ because it is the ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The thoughts come to the thinker within the dualistic illusion. Without the illusion, the thinker, thoughts, and the world in which the thinker exists, cease to exist.

Just by finding out to whom the thoughts come? Who is the knower? - it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. 

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what' is what is very much necessary to cross the threshold of the dualistic illusion.

‘I’ is not the thought. The ‘I’ is form, time, and space together. Without form, time, and space the ‘I’ ceases to exist. Without form, time, and space the thinker and thoughts cease to exist.

The one who realizes the fact that he, his thoughts, and the words he utters and the world in which he exists are created out of single stuff and that single stuff is consciousness. Thus, everything is consciousness. 

Realizing everything is consciousness leads to Self-awareness. Thus, using words or no words has nothing to do with Gnani. Only ignorant people talk of nonduality, not to use the words with words.

The world in which you exist, your thoughts, and your world are made of single stuff. Knowledge of that single stuff is the Soul, the Self, which is hidden by illusory form, time, and space.

Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into the waking experience and waking experience into mind and mind into consciousness by perfect understating of ‘what is what’.

When you realize’ what is what’ you will realize everything is nothing but consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than  consciousness.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
