The Soul is everything because whatever exists as the universe is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Humanity has to awaken itself to the reality of its true existence. Humanity is a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya. The Soul, the Self is the Ancient One. The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The Soul has to wake up from its sleep of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the unreal universe as reality.
The universe is in the ‘I’ because the ‘I’ itself is the universe. Do not try to find the truth in the next world because the truth is hidden by the ‘I’.
Find out what is this ‘I’ in actuality.
That why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16
The Soul does not change; all the changes are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
As you go deeper in self-search you will realize the fact that ‘I’ itself is an illusion.
The ‘I’ appears and disappears but the Soul, the witness of the ‘I’ witnesses the coming and going, of the ‘I’.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self
People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "I," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.
People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. is no need to convince such mindsets. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the mind is bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘mind’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.
If the form, time, and space are an illusion then the universe is bound to be an illusion.
If the universe is bound to be an illusion then waking is bound to be an illusion.
If the waking is bound to be an illusion then the experiencing of the birth, life, death which happens within the universe is bound to be an illusion.
The illusion is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is real and eternal.
Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted other than consciousness a God.
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced is within the dualistic illusion. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like 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. Your realization of the Soul as God is the ultimate realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
