It is not you who has to get Mukthi or freedom, it is the invisible Soul, the Self that has to get Mukthi from the Maya.+

The invisible and unborn Soul is the Self. The invisible Soul, the Self, is not the ‘I’ but the witness of the ‘I’.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is infinite, deathless, and birthless, because the invisible Soul is infinite Spirit or consciousness.

All that is real in this world in which we exist is consciousness, which is God i truth. The world in which we exist hides God in truth because the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of God in truth.

The invisible Soul itself is God in truth, only held in the bondage of the dualistic illusion; perfection will be reached when ignorance vanishes through wisdom, and the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya, will no longer remain as a reality.

It is not you who has to get Mukthi or freedom, it is the invisible Soul, the Self that has to get Mukthi from the dualistic illusion or Maya (universe).

Therefore, you must make sure the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Mukthi or freedom is for the invisible Soul, the Self for the invisible Soul from experiencing the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya as a reality.

Freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from ignorance, freedom from the illusion.

It does not befit you to be a slave of the inherited belief. It is time to wake up and start your quest for truth.

Arise! Awake! There is none to help you. The invisible Soul, the Self, is the entire universe. No one can help you.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own Soul.”

Mundaka Upanishad condemns rituals. The Para or Higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Supreme Being, while the Apara or Lower Knowledge is that of following sacrificial rites and ceremonies. (1/2/ 1 – 6)

What is the use of saying ‘I AM THIS’ or ‘I AM THAT’ without knowing what this ‘I’ in actuality? The ‘I-centric’ teachings are limited to the form, not the time and space. The ‘I-centric’ teachings will not help the seeker to reach the ultimate end of understanding.

All the ‘I-centric’ Gurus and their teaching make the seeker hallucinate. Playing with the sentiments and emotions of the seeker makes him remain permanently in the domain of ignorance. Ornamental words satisfy only an emotional mindset.

The words that mean different things to different people, it is what is behind the words, between the lines, that matters. If you are seeking truth, nothing but the truth, then you have to discard I-centric’ Gurus and their teaching to realize the truth hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

When a Gnani does not see his body as the body, his ego as the ego, his experience of the world as the world, then he has realized his body, his ego, and his experience of the world as consciousness.

Thus, everything is Soul or consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

When conviction of the invisible Soul, the Self, grows stronger, everything falls into the right slot.

Remember, the ‘I’ is not limited to the form; therefore, there is a need to realize what this ‘I’ is in actuality.

The ‘I’ is the mind.

The ‘mind’ is the form, time, and space together.

The form, time, and space together are the universe.

The universe is the waking or the dream.

The waking is a parallel dream

The dream is a parallel waking.

The ‘I’ cannot exist just by itself. The ‘I’ has no separate, independent existence. ‘I’ is dependent on the invisible Soul, the Self, for its existence. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self: ~

The ‘I’ is an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the mind is bound to be an illusion.

If the mind is an illusion, then the form, time, and space are bound to be illusion

If the form, time, and space are an illusion, then the universe is bound to be an illusion.

The universe is an illusion; the waking or the dream is nothing but an illusion.

If the waking is an illusion, then the experience of birth, life, death, and the world, which is present only when the waking experience is present, is bound to be an illusion.

Sage Sankara says the world is illusory; it includes birth, life, and death, which happen within the world.

Thus, seekers, the main aim is to mentally trace the formless substance of the illusion, which is also the witness of the illusion. The formless substance and witness of the illusion (world) are the Atman, and this Atman itself is Brahman. This Brahman cannot be attained by indulging in egocentric religious orthodoxies.

The knower of Brahman is Brahmin, not the Brahmin who indulges in priestcraft, which leads one to utter darkness as per the Yajur Veda.

Yoga Vasistha:~ "Teachers, interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that the ultimate truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the heart, engendered from contact with the good."

Sage Sankara: ~ VC Let erudite scholars quote all the Scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together (verses-6)

Sage Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is necessary to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
