If the ‘‘Self’’ is not the body then why talk of the five senses which are concerned with the body.
Why talk of the yogic chakras which are concerned with the body.
Why talk of karma which is concerned with the body.
Why talk about religion, which is conferenced to the body.
Why talk of religious Gods, which is concerned with the body.
The Soul is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself uncaused.
Consciousness is not limited to the physical body but consciousness pervades the world in which the body exists.
Some Gurus claim that the ‘Self’ is within the heart but the ‘Self’ is not within the physical body but the world in which you exist is within the Soul, which is the ‘Self’.
Remember:~
People are searching for the ultimate truth in all the wrong places. They think the religious Gurus and yogis will help them to get Self-realization.
People are seeking within the dualistic illusion through various rituals, temples worship, pilgrimaging forests and mountaintops, monasteries without realizing the fact that they are searching the truth within the dualistic illusion with the illusory identity. The world in which we exist is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Without realizing the world in which they exist is an illusion, it is difficult to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space.
What you are seeking is hidden by the dualistic illusion. The ultimate truth or Brahman dwells within the three states like fragrance in the flower; Musk lies within the Musk-deer yet seeks it afar."
Until one traces the truth within the three states the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality.
Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self’’ is the ‘I- LESS Soul, which witnesses the coming and going, of the ‘I’.
Until one gets a firm conviction that, only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is real and the world, in which he exists, is an illusion created out of consciousness, it is difficult to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
