Do not hold the ‘Self’ as ‘I AM’. ‘I AM’ is the dualistic prison. Realize the Self is the Soul, which is free from the sense of ‘I AM’.
If you hold the ‘Self’ as ‘I AM then you permanently remain in ignorance of your true existence, which is beyond the form, time, and space. The ‘I AM’ represents the form, time, and space whereas the Self is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The Soul is not within your body but the Soul pervades the whole world in which you exist. Those gurus who think the ‘Self’ is within the body propagated the Self is to be ‘I AM and they also propagate the consciousness is limited to the physical body. They think the consciousness is not permanent because it disappears along with physical death.
When the Self is not the body but the Soul, which is birthless and deathless how can you relate the ‘’Self’ to the Soul, which the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The ‘I-centric’ teachings are merely an imagination based on the dualistic perspective whereas the truth is based on the nondualistic perspective.
Don’t bother about anything other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Stick to the Soul, the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. Mentally don’t let go of your hold on the Soul under any circumstances.
The world in which you exist, your thoughts, and your world are made on single stuff. Knowledge of that single stuff is truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into waking experience and waking experience into mind and mind into consciousness by perfect understating of ‘what is what’.
When you realize’ what is what’ you will realize everything is nothing but consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
