The Soul, the ‘Self’ has neither five elements, nor any of the organs individually, nor all the elements or organs together as a whole. The body and universe exist within the waking or dream. Thus, the body and the universe are limited to waking or dream.
The Self is hidden within the universe, which appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). It is within the waking or dream as their formless substance and it is without the waking or dream as their formless witness. It is within because the waking or dream is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, the forms and names within waking or dream have no value because the waking or dreams are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
The waking or dreams are impermanent whereas the formless substance and witness of the waking or dream is the Soul, which is real and permanent, and eternal.
The Soul, the Self ‘is beyond the waking or dream because it is neither the waking entity nor it is the dream entity.
The Soul, the Self exists by itself only in deep sleep without the limitation of sense of form, time, and space.
The Soul, the Self is the attributeless, non-dual entity that alone prevails when all the three states are negated mentally. ~Santthosh Kumaar
