Realize you are not you, the world in which you exist is not the world, but they are an illusion created out of consciousness.+

People are stuck to some Gurus and their ‘I-centric’ teaching gets stuck permanently in the cage of ignorance, thinking their Guru is sacred and their Guru's teaching is final. Such acceptance leads only to hallucinations.

You, your body, and the world in which you exist are within the dualistic illusion, which is present in the form of the ‘I’.

Realize you are not you, your body is not the body, the world in which you exist is not the world, but they are all made of a single clay. That single clay is the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness

Those Gurus who propagated the Self is within the body are in error in their understanding. This mistake has to be rectified to realize the invisible Soul is the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The invisible Soul is the fullness of consciousness, without the divisions of form, time, and space. By emotionally sticking to these ’ I-centric gurus and their teachings, you will remain permanently in the domain of ignorance.

Because of ignorance, you think you are an individual separate from the world, and the world existed prior to you; you are born in it later on. The ‘I’ is inborn ignorance, which is the cause of experiencing the world in which you exist as a reality, whereas the world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion.

Whatever belongs to dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion. So, your experience of birth, life, death, and the world is bound to be an illusion.

Everyone is holding some teaching or a teacher or their accepted truth as a yardstick. All the accumulated egocentric knowledge is inadequate or useless in unfolding the mystery of the mind or the universe.

The ‘I’ is inborn samskara or conditioning, because of this inborn samskara or conditioning, one has accepted the ‘I’ as the Self; he is ignorant that the ‘I’ itself is the cause of ignorance. Because of this ‘I’, he has accepted illusion as a reality.

There is a need to realize ‘what is this 'I’ is in actuality. Without knowing ‘what is this ‘I' is in actuality, it is impossible to unfold the hidden truth which is beyond form, time, and space.

Till you hold the Self as the ‘I’, you will never be able to get Self-realization. ‘I’ hides the invisible Soul, which is the Self.

'I’ is ignorance.

‘I’ is the duality.

‘I’ is form, time, and space.

‘I’ is the universe.

‘I’ is the waking.

‘I’ is the dream.

‘I’ is the illusion.

‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

Remember:~

Without the ‘I’, there is no ignorance.

Without the ‘I’, there is no duality.

Without the ‘I’, there is no form, time, and space

Without the ‘I’, there is no universe.

Without the ‘I’, there is no waking.

Without the ‘I’, there is no dream.

Without the ‘I’, there is no illusion.

Without the ‘I’, there is no experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The ‘I’ hides the invisible Soul, the cause of the 'I'.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say ‘I,’ if you feel the Self is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

It is time to discard the ‘I’. Never use the word ‘I’ or I AM for the invisible Soul, the Self, Self, which is genderless.

It is necessary to realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the Self is not you but the Self, the invisible Soul, then the world in which you exist as reality has no value because it is merely an illusion. Mentally stick to the invisible Soul, which is real and eternal, and drop the illusion and rest in consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
