One should not wish for the easy way to search for the truth. In an easy way, there is ignorance. Ignorance is inborn.
Ignorance is present in the form of ' the ‘I'. Ignorance has been nourished and passed on from one generation to the next. Without getting rid of this inborn ignorance, it is impossible to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The world in which we exist (waking) is the product of ignorance. The world, in which we exist ceases to exist without ignorance. In Self-awareness, there is neither man nor the world because the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self.
From the standpoint of the Soul the Self, the man along with the world is merely an illusion.
Ignorance is present in the form of the ‘T’. 'I' is present in the form of the mind. The Mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears in the form of the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality)
The ‘I’ is inborn samskara or conditioning, because of this inborn samskara or conditioning, the illusory universe or Maya is experienced as reality.
Remember:~
The Soul without the ‘I’ is God. God is hidden by ‘I’.
Remember, the ‘I’ is not an individual because the ‘I’ is the whole universe. Limiting the ‘I’ to individuality is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion a reality?
The nature of the ‘I’ is the nature of the mind.
The nature of the mind is the nature of the universe.
The nature of the universe is the nature of the waking.
The nature of waking is the nature of the illusion.
Thus, it is necessary to study the nature of the ‘I’ to unfold the mystery of the universe.
All the teachings limit the ‘I’ to an individual and glorify the ‘I’ without knowing what this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality. All ‘I’ based teachings are inadequate and useless for the serious seeker of truth.
If you are seeking truth nothing but the truth must discard without mercy such teaching in order to progress in your spiritual quest.
The seeker must know the ‘I’ is not limited to individuality. The seeker has to see the ‘I’ as the universe, in order to overcome ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes.
When ignorance vanishes and the dualistic illusion (world) you used to think as reality becomes unreal. :~
