Remember:~
Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is inexhaustible wealth. All other wealth disappears as one spends, but with the Advaitic wisdom, the more one shares more he gains.
The ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The origin of the mind is the Soul. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The mind comes and goes as the waking or the dream.
The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The root of the universe is consciousness.
The ego is restless in its nature. Whatever based on the ego is an illusion. Whatever is based on the Soul is the reality.
The universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Whatever theories, paths and practices, and knowledge based on the ego will not lead to Self-realization.
Self-realization is to realize the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
You are the ‘ego’ so you are not the ‘Self’. If you are not the ‘Self, then what is the use of saying ‘I am this’ or ‘I am that’ without knowing what the Self’ is in actuality.
Without the ego, the world, in which we exist ceases to exist. The ego and the world appear together and disappear together. Therefore, it is impossible to get rid of the ego alone because the world has appeared along with the ego.
The world in which we exist is a reality, on the base of the ego. The world in which we exist is an illusion on the base of the Soul, the Self.
The world in which we exist is based on the ego; therefore it is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self. The ego is the false self within the false experience.
The seeker has to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ in order to realize the world in which he exists is merely an illusion.
Without making sure how this world is an illusion and on what standpoint the world is an illusion it is impossible to acquire Advaitic wisdom.
The seeker has to think deeply and reason deeply then only it is possible to realize the unreal nature of the ‘I’ and realize the truth, which is beyond the ‘I’. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
