What is the use of dying without realizing the truth of your true existence? People never give importance to realize the truth which is real God hidden by the world in which they exist.
A person lying on the death bed and recalling his whole life, he realizes that all the power, recognition, and wealth that he took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.
Bhad Upanishad ~ 8-p ~-211: ~ “This Self is dearer than a son, dearer than wealth, dearer than everything else because It is innermost. If one holding the Self dear were to say to a person who speaks of anything other than the Self as dear, that he, the latter, will lose what he holds dear—and the former is certainly competent to do so—it will indeed come true. One should meditate upon the Self alone as dear. He who meditates upon the Self alone as dear—what he holds dear will not perish.
Wealth is only a fact of life that people are accustomed to but they are unaware of the fact that their own existence as an individual their wealth, their power their family and friends, and the world in which they exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, which the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.
Whatever your individual experience of birth appeared on its own and it disappears on its own in death. Individuality is a reality within the dualistic illusion.
Until one thinks he is an individual separate from the world and world that existed prior to you are born in it, later on, it is impossible for one to accept the truth, which is hidden by the form, time, and space.
People think God is somewhere, up there, monitoring every act of the people, guiding the lost, and uplifting the poor. God is the one who punishes evil and rewards the benevolent. Some people even claim of seeing them in stone idols or some conceptual belief, in inanimate or living things. Is it our faith that makes us believe that there is some supreme power above us or is it a reality, can never be answered? Until this conviction is there one is in the grip of physicality. The physicality keeps one in the ignorance of our true identity, which is not physical. Therefore, there is a need to verify the fact that, the Self is not physical but it is the formless Spirit.
When one becomes aware of the fact that the spirit is the true Self, then one realizes the fact that whatever known, seen, believed, and experienced on the base of the false Self is a falsehood. The false Self is a reality within the false experience. Thus man and his experience of the world and his beliefs and his accumulated knowledge is a falsehood because the waking experience is merely an illusion on the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of Consciousness.
The whole life they wasted by following their inherited religion, praying, and worshipping the mythical God propagated by the religion. People never bothered to know what God supposed to be in reality because of the fear of God's wrath injected by their religion. People think it is
Religion, individualized God heaven, and hell, bondage, freedom, fear are based on the false self (waking entity or you) within the false experience (waking) is nothing to do with the formless Soul, the ‘Self’.
The nature of the Soul is pure Awareness. In Self-awareness, there is no division, no differences, and no separation. To what should the Soul, the ‘Self’ has to cling when the Soul is ever formless. The Soul the innermost Self is present in the form of Awareness, not a person.
What is the use of arguing on the base of the birth entity, which is not the Self?
What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the Self is birthless?
What is the use of thinking of heaven and hell when the ‘Self’ is not an individual and it is never born and never dies?
Non pursuing the truth of our true existence will keep the Soul in the cage of ignorance.
Ish Upanishad declares: ~ “Those people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide.
Those people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and have thus committed suicide, as it were, are doomed to enter those worlds after death. This is a condemnation of people who do not try to attain Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
