It is not you who has to get rid of ignorance, but the invisible Soul, the Self, has to wake up from its sleep of ignorance.

It is ignorance that creates illusion, and it is the invisible Soul, the Self, that gets free of it. The words may aggravate ignorance; words may also help dispel it. There is a need to repeat the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality.

The seeker has to reflect on the nature of the invisible Soul constantly day after day until the conviction of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, becomes firm, and he gets the firm conviction.

The seeker needs to hear the words of wisdom until he realizes that form, time, and space are one in essence.

No one can know the invisible Soul, the Self has no beginning, nor fathom its end, because the invisible Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

You will not be able to find the truth because you are blindfolded by dualistic illusion. If you have to traverse the path, you will have to seek the aid of the one who knows the truth beyond form, time, and space; else, you will wind up meandering here and there without gaining anything.

The Self is not within you because the Self is not the body. If the Self is not you, then why do you think the Self is within you?

Deeper self-search reveals that you and the world are within the invisible Soul the Self. Perfect understanding and assimilation lead to Advaitic Self-awareness.

The Self is not you because you are bound by the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The experience of birth, life, death, and the world has nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self. When you are not the Self, then how can you relate the Self to your experience of birth, life, death, and the world?

When the invisible Soul wakes up with its own awareness, then you and your experience of the world become unreal same way as the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place.

If you imagine within the dream, it becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Your imagination within the dream remains a reality until the waking takes place. In the same way, your imagination within the waking remains reality till Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Advaitic Wisdom dawns when you realize you are not the Self, but the Self is the invisible Soul.

If you are not the Self, then your imagination has no value because you are the false self within the illusion (waking).

When the Self is not you, then what is the use of dropping ignorance? It is not you who has to drop ignorance, but the invisible Soul, the Self, has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance.

When the invisible Soul, the Self, wakes up, then the world in which you exist ceases to exist as a reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
