First, know what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality?
The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe.
The universe is present in the form of form, time, and space.
Without the form, time, and space, there is no duality.
The duality is not a reality from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self.
The mind is present in the form of form, time, and space. Thus, whatever belongs to form, time, and space is a falsehood.
The universe in which we exist as a reality is a falsehood. Thus, there is a need to know ‘what is what’ in order to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space.
The ‘I’ disappears as deep sleep, so what is the use of being attached to it? It is impermanent and illusory because ‘I’ is physical awareness. Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. ‘I-less awareness is Self-awareness.
There is really no ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. And the mind is in the form of the universe. And the universe appears as waking or dream. The ‘I’ or mind or the universe or waking or dream dies disappears as deep sleep.
Thus, one that appears as ‘I’ or mind or the universe or waking or dream is consciousness, and it disappears as deep sleep is also consciousness. In deep sleep, it is in its formless nondual true nature. The one, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states, is also conscious. Thus, the witness and witnessed are one in essence.
Thus, the universe is a reality on the base of individuality and the universe is unreal on the base of the Soul is the Self. The seeker gradually will grasp and realize the unreal nature of the universe or mind. Individuality is illusory because the Self is not an individual because the Self is ever nondual, and it pervades everything and everywhere in all the three states. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
