Repeated reading my posting and blogs helps you to get a firm conviction that the Self, not you but the Soul.
The ‘Self’ is not within your body. The ‘Self’ is hidden by the world in which you exist.
The Gurus and yogis think the Self is within the body because their knowledge is based not on the Self but the birth entity (ego), which is the false self (you) within the false experience (world).
You are not the Self. You are nothing to do with the Soul, the Self.
The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion or Maya. Your existence is limited to the dualistic illusion, which appears as waking (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
Why you are thinking of the birth, life, death, and the world when the ‘Self is the birthless and deathless Soul.
The Soul is nothing to do with your experience of birth, life, death, and the world. Till the Soul wakes up from its sleep of ignorance you and the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.
Whatever is connected to your individual experience is of the dualistic illusion or Maya. Without the dualistic illusion or Maya illusion, the Soul alone prevails as the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
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. The consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself is uncaused.
The consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. On the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost 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 the 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 Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul, which is present in the form of the 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 the 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. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
