You have nothing to do with the ‘Self’. Self-realization is possible only when you realize the ‘Self’, not you, but the Soul.+

The invisible Soul, the Self, is not within your body because the invisible Soul, the Self, is hidden by the illusory world in which you exist. It is hidden by the illusory world in which you exist because the illusory world in which you exist is created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real, and all else is an illusion.

You have nothing to do with the Self. Self-realization is possible only when you realize you are not the Self, but the Self is the invisible Soul. Until you think the ‘Self is within you, you will never be able to realize what the Self is in actuality.

Those who preached that the Soul, the Self, is within you propagated only half-baked knowledge. The Soul, the Self, is hidden by the illusory world in which you exist because the invisible Soul, the Self, is not an entity or identity within the world in which you exist. The invisible Soul, the Self, pervades the whole world in which you exist.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it itself is uncaused. The Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-realization.

Remember:~

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (9) - There the stainless and indivisible Brahman shines in the highest, golden sheath. It is pure; it is the Light of lights; it is that which they know who knows the Self.

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10) - The sun does not shine there, nor the moon and the stars, nor this lightning, not to speak of this fire. When the Soul, the Self, shines, everything shines after the invisible Soul, the Self; by its light, everything is lighted.

The invisible Soul, the Self, appears as the universe in the waking, and the universe disappears as the invisible Soul in deep sleep. The invisible Soul is the universe, and the universe is the invisible Soul.

The universe is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. The illusion and reality are nothing but consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.

When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then this world in which you exist, which you think is reality, becomes unreal.

The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. That means the dream entity, people within the dream, and the dream world becomes unreal. In the same way, the waking experience becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

A person, who stamped his foot on the ground to refute, to show the world, is real, ignores that in the dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (11) - That immortal Brahman (Athma) alone is before, that Brahman is behind, that Brahman is to the right and left. Brahman alone pervades everything above and below; this universe is that Supreme Brahman alone. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
