The path of wisdom is divided into three parts:~
First:- Hearing the truth--that the consciousness is the only reality and that the universe along with you merely an illusion or Maya.
Second:- Reasoning upon these words of wisdom of Sage Sankara from all points of view.
Third:~ Giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Remember:~
There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. consciousness alone is real and eternal the universe is merely an illusion. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
When you realize you and your experience of the world are made of the single stuff and that single stuff is the consciousness with full and firm conviction then there is unity in diversity in your understanding. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
It is the ignorance that creates illusion and it is the ‘Soul, the Self’ that gets free of it. The words may aggravate ignorance; words may also help dispel it. There is a need to repeat the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality.
The seeker has to reflect on the nature of the Soul constantly until the conviction of the truth becomes firm. The seeker needs to hear the words of wisdom until he realizes the form, time and space are one in essence.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The Soul has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and then only it is possible to realize the form, time and space are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. If the form time and space are one in essence, then there is no division in consciousness. If there is no division in consciousness, then there no duality, if there is no duality then there is unity in diversity.
Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion as reality. By realizing Soul as the Self, leads to Advaitic Self-awareness. The Soul, the Self is Absolute Knowledge, which cannot be negated. The nature of the Soul is Advaitic awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
