Q: K.M How every individual has own spirit or self when self is formless spaceless and also how is spirit is in ignorance and we have to finish the ignorance to get Self-realization
Santthosh Kumaar:~ The Soul is not limited to an individual. The individuals are many, but the Soul is one. The individual exists within the universe. The Soul is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.
The Soul is not within the human body. The universe is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, whatever the universe contains is bound to be the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.
There are no separate individual Souls. Individuals are many but the Soul is one.
Many Souls theory is a dualistic theory. All the dualistic theories are egocentric.
Egocentric theories are based on ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusory world as a reality.
The Soul is not an individual because the Soul is present in the form of the consciousness is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The Soul is the cause of the universe which contains the whole of humanity. Thus, limiting the Soul to an individual is erroneous.
Sage Sankara asks his opponents "How do you know there are separate individual Souls? Have you seen the Soul of a man? You can only say that you have seen different bodies. To say more is to misuse language. Therefore, I call you liars unless you give proof, which is impossible.
The Soul, the ‘Self’ is in the form of consciousness without the division of form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
The Soul, the ‘Self’, is the fullness of the consciousness. In the cloud there is nothing other than the water, so too the consciousness is nothing other than itself. The consciousness is absolute without a second.
Remember:~
Your existence itself is the product of ignorance because the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul.
You are an individual. Your existence is limited to form, time, and space whereas the Soul, the Self is not an individual because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Realize the Self is not you but the Soul with a firm conviction then the ignorance vanishes itself. The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance. The ignorance will prevail till you hold the Self as the ‘I’.
Discard the ‘I’, which is the cause of the ignorance by a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’.
From the standpoint of the Soul, there is neither bondage nor liberation. There is but one pure consciousness.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the only reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything that exists in ignorance.
Thus, there is a need to realize the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. The world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.
When the matter is an illusion created out of the Spirit then Spirit alone is real.
When the object is created out of the subject then the subject alone is real.
When the world in which you exist created out of consciousness then the consciousness alone is real.
Reality and unreality are created out of single stuff because the unreality (the world in which we exist), is experienced as a reality we are unaware of the reality hidden by the unreality. There is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The dualistic illusion, which is present in the form of the ‘I’, hides the truth.
Stick to reality by mentally dropping the unreality.
The form, time, and space are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Realize the Soul which is present in the form of the consciousness alone is real all else is an illusion.
Consciousness is the only reality in which the universe exists, to which the universe belongs; from which the universe has emerged, which is the cause of the universe and which itself is uncaused. Thus, the universe is nothing but consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
