Whatever is the ‘Seen’ or ‘Known’ is the Soul. The ‘Seer’ or the knower also is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In reality, there is neither the ‘Seer’ nor the ‘Seen’ because the ‘Seer’ and ‘Seen’ are one in essence.
Consciousness alone remains after one gets rid of ignorance. Consciousness is only the ‘Seer’; it is not Brahman that is an error. It becomes Brahman only after ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom.
The Seer and the Seen.
The Seer is the subject and Seen is an object.
The Seer is the Soul, the Self.
The Seen is the ‘I'.
The ‘I’ appears and disappears.
The Soul sees the appearance and disappearance of the ‘I’.
The Soul is permanent and real.
The ‘I’ is impermanent because it appears and disappears.
This is your bondage, that you hold the Self as the ‘I'.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent (consciousness) is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16
Sage Sankara says the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)
~ then why you are sticking to a Guru who is not a Gnani.
Sage Sankara says ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads truth realization.
Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the Self is non-dual because there is no second thing that exists other than the Atman. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and space is merely an illusion.
There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ cease to exist without consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
