The 'I' hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The 'I' which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but the Soul or consciousness.
The Soul is absolutely free from all the limitations of the 'I'.
When you finally realize the 'Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul then you will realize the 'I' is merely an illusion created out of the Soul or consciousness.
The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. Only when the mind is present then the ‘I’ is present. without the 'I' the mind ceases to exist.
Only when the mind present, then only the universe in which you exist is present.
Thus, the universe is nothing but the mind. It is erroneous to think the mind is within the body because the universe itself is the mind.
Know what this mind in actuality. People mistake the ego for the mind.
It is high time to realize the mind is not within the body, but their body and the world are within the mind. The mind itself is an illusion.
Without knowing what is mind it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness. Thus, all three states are nothing but consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion or Maya.
When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Thus, it is necessary to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion or Maya. Thus, you are part of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The reality is nothing to do with you and your world. The Soul, the ‘Self’ is the ultimate reality. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the formless substance and witness of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
On the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~
