Remember, the Self is not the ‘I’ but the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

It is impossible to find the Self through ‘I-centric gurus and their teaching.

The seeker has to use his reason (Buddhi) to realize the truth hidden by ignorance. The ignorance is present in the form of the ‘I’.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

Reality let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.

Mentally cross the ‘I’ and enter the kingdom of the Advaitic heaven. The Self is not ‘I’ because the invisible Soul, the Self, is prior to the ‘I’.

Simply saying ‘I AM’ that or ‘I AM this is to the genderless Soul is not wisdom. Without knowing what this ‘I’ is supposed to be in actuality, not wisdom but ignorance.

First, know what his ‘I’ is supposed to be. The ‘I’ is an object to the Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject.

The ‘I’ is the whole universe, which appears and disappears. Without the ‘I’, the universe ceases to exist.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what leads to unfolding the mystery of the ‘I’.

Sticking to the ‘I-centric’ gurus and their teaching keeps you in the cage of ignorance.

The Self, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is not limited to you because it pervades everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist.

You are not God. The invisible Soul, the Self, is God in truth. It is not correct to say God or I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman or God remains, not the I.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the ‘I’ is an illusion, which appears and disappears.

It is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time, and space, whereas the invisible Soul, the Self, is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

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

To understand the false nature of the ‘I’, the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana, is necessary.

The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is the witness of the ‘I’. By holding the Self 'I' leads to hallucination based on imagination.

Those who are stuck with the ‘I’ –centric teaching will never be able to cross the domain of form, time, and space.:~Santthosh Kumaar
