The past, present, and future belong to you. It is foolish to say I have no past present and future. The past present and future belong to the domain of the illusory form, time, and space. The form, time, and space belong to the universe, which is the dualistic illusion.
The ‘I’ itself is the dualistic illusion or Maya. The ‘Self’ is hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya. It means the ‘I’ hides the truth. Thus, it is necessary to realize what is this 'I' supposed to be in actuality?
The ‘I-centric’ knowledge is not the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. ‘I-centric’ Guru and their teachings are half-baked knowledge based on imagination.
It is very difficult for those who strongly believe the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’, to realize the truth. All the Gurus of the east and west hold the ‘I’, as the ‘Self’ and spin their imagination on the base of ‘I’, which leads them to hallucination.
People mistake that ‘Self’ as I’ whereas the gross bodies are many. So ‘I’ cannot be self because the ‘I’ is the universe.
By sentimentally and emotionally getting involved with ‘i-centric’ Gurus and their teachings is a great hindrance in pursuit of truth.
People hold their Guru as the ultimate authority and drop their quest of truth and indulge in their glorifying and worshiping the Gurus, which keeps them permanently in ignorance of the ‘Self' hidden by the ‘I’.
Remember: ~
First, realize the ‘Self is not within you. You are bound by the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world whereas the ‘Self is birthless and deathless because it is an ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself is uncaused. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
On the standpoint of the Soul, the Self the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, the world in which exists hides the Soul, which is the real God.
Till you think the ‘Soul, the Self’ is within you, you will never be able to realize God. God is not limited to you but it pervades in everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist.
You are with the body. You are born in this world. You are living in this world and you are going to die in this world. The world itself is an illusion.
When the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness then what is the use of discussing the birth, life, death, and the world because the one which is born, lives and dies is not the ‘Self. The Soul is birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
You are the birth entity. Your existence is limited to form, time, and space. Your religion, your religious Gods your beliefs, your religious rituals and prayers, your race, your nationality are nothing to do with the Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
It is not you have to establish in consciousness but by realizing you, and your experience of the world is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness the Self-awareness raise in the midst of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. If everything is consciousness then how can anything exist which is not consciousness?
When conviction about consciousness becomes firm then everything falls into the right slot.
Self-realization is very much necessary to realize the world is an illusion. Until and unless you realize the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul, Self-realization is an impossibility. :~
