From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, there is neither bondage nor liberation. There is but the fullness of consciousness without the illusory divisions of the form, time, and space.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the only reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which the cause of everything is, and which everything is.
Thus there is a need to realize the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.
When the matter is an illusion created out of the spirit then Spirit alone is real.
When the object is created out of the subject then the subject alone is real.
When the world in which you exist created out of consciousness then consciousness alone is real.
Reality and unreality are created out of single stuff because the unreality (the world in which we exist) is experienced as a reality we are unaware of the reality hidden by the unreality. There is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The dualistic illusion, which is present in the form of the ‘I’, hides the truth.
Stick to reality by mentally dropping the unreality.
Wisdom consists of knowing the truth, that everything world in which you exist is the consciousness. The freedom (ultimate truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the Soul or the consciousness, is quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Your quest is over. There is no need to search for the truth. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
To search for this truth there is no need to struggle. To understand, assimilate and realize this truth you have to drop all your accumulated knowledge and stick to the truth, which is consciousness by realizing no second thing exists other than consciousness because the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.
There is no need to read books, there is no need to indulge in an argument, there is no need to indulge in yoga to get Self-realization.
You have to only realize the ‘‘Self’’ is not you and ‘‘Self’ is not within your body because the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness pervades all three states. All three states are created out of consciousness. For anything to exist, consciousness has to be there.
The ultimate truth or Brahman dwells within the three states like fragrance in the flower; Musk lies within the Musk-deer yet seeks it afar." Until one traces the truth within the three states the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
