The dream becomes unreal when waking takes palace. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

 

C.G- Q:~ What is your view on people with multiple personalities?

Suppose you had asked the same question in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, all the happenings within the illusion are bound to be an illusion. Until ignorance is there, the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.

When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom, the world in which you exist, which you think of as reality, becomes an illusion.

Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita: ~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

Thus, whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion created by consciousness. Thus, the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal.

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Remember: ~

The dream world, the dream people appeared together and disappeared together. Similarly, the waking world and waking people appeared together and disappear together.

Thus, the dream is created out of single stuff, and that stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In the same way, the waking experience also created our single stuff. And that single stuff is consciousness.

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the cause of the three states, and it itself is uncaused. The many soul theories are religious and yogic fables based on the false self (ego) and false experience (waking).

The invisible Soul is the Self. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The invisible Soul is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it itself is uncaused.

Many souls' theory is a religious theory based on the false self (ego) within the false world. When the world in which we exist is created out of a single clay, and that single clay is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, the question of many souls does not arise. There is one and only Soul, which is the cause of the universe.

You are not the Self because you are mortal. You are mortal because you are bound by the experience of birth, life, death, and the world. The Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, and is immortal because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The one that is in ignorance is the Soul; the one that has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance is the invisible Soul, the Self.

The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Without the illusion, the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, will prevail as the ultimate reality, or Brahman, or God in truth. Thus, the Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Self-realization is necessary to realize ‘what is truth and ‘what is the untruth.

Many souls' theory is based on the false self and false experience (world). When the whole universe is created out of a single stuff, it is the invisible Soul that, whatever the universe contains, is also consciousness. Thus, the invisible Soul is one, and in ignorance, the diversity appears as reality.

Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Just as gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe, is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that you are not the Self, the world in which you exist is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, but consciousness is specifically not an entity or identity or a thing within the world in which you exist. But it is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it itself is uncaused.

The invisible Soul is hidden by the illusory universe in which you exist. The nature of the invisible Soul is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Thus, it is necessary to realize the world in which you exist is created out single stuff, which is the consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman, or God in truth. Thus, God in truth alone is real; the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth?’ and ’what is untruth?’. It takes time for the invisible Soul, the Self, to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.
