Only Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara unfolds the mystery of the ‘I’. Advaitic wisdom rises gradually by the weakening of ignorance as understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ matures.
Find out what is this 'I' suppose 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 not a projection because it is merely an illusion.
There is no projection and no projector in the realm of truth. The concept of projection and projector is based on the dualistic perspective. On the non-dualistic perspective, there is neither projection nor the projector, because there is no second thing exist other than the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.
Remember:~
The ‘Self’ noting permanent and the ‘I’, is impermanent. The ‘I’, which appears and disappears is not the Self. The Self is hidden by the ‘I’. the ‘I’ is perishable whereas the Self is imperishable.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
Why are you struggling to find out who you are? You will never find the answer if you get stuck to the ‘I’. Find out ‘what is this ‘I’, which appears and disappears. What is that is aware of the coming and going of the ‘I’?
Without realizing ‘What is this ‘I’?- you will never be able to realize the mystery of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is the most intoxicating stuff. Those who use the word ‘I’ for the ‘Self ‘will never be able to cross the threshold of the dualistic illusion.
The ‘I-centric' Gurus and their teachings will not transport the seeker to the ultimate end of understanding.
The ‘I’ is the cage for the Soul. ‘I’ is the cause of ignorance. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the only weapon to get rid of ignorance.
The ‘I’ based teachings will not transport the seeker to the ultimate end of understanding. Perfect understanding of ‘what is this ‘I’ leads to the realization of the truth beyond the form, time, and space.
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. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
