First, the seeker has to know ‘what is the subject’ and ‘what is the object’. Deeper Self-search reveals that the world in which we exist is an object to the formless subject. The formless subject is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Deeper verification reveals the fact that the object and the subject are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, the object is only an illusion created out of the formless subject. Thus, in reality, the subject is real and exists eternal.
A Gnani sees the subject hidden by the object in the midst of the object through Advaitic Gnana.
A Gnani sees only unity in diversity, just like a goldsmith estimating the gold in various items of jewelry sees only gold.
When one identifies the Self with the form, then only the form, time, and space are present. But when one transcends form, time, and space the duality never remains as a reality.
All our questions arise because the Soul, the innermost Self is in ignorance of its own Self. When the Soul remains in its own awareness, then there is unity in diversity (oneness).
Remember: The ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul. Your experience of birth, life, death, and the world is not a thing to do with the Soul.
You are born, live, and die within the world whereas the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of consciousness birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, times and spaceless existence.
When the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul it is erroneous to judge the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world as the Self as you.
You have to learn to view and judge the worldview on the base of the Soul, the Self then only you will be able to realize that birth, life, and death, and the world is merely an illusion.
Your individual experience of birth, life, and death, and the world is happening within the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The Soul has nothing to do with your individual experience of birth, life, and death, and the world because it is hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the substance and the witness of the dualistic illusion.
The Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the substance of the dualistic illusion because the dualistic illusion is created out of consciousness.
The Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless because it the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The universe, which is a dualistic illusion appears as ‘I’.
The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking. The waking appears as ‘I’ (duality) and disappears as ‘I- less (non-duality). That is the Soul; the Self appears as the universe and the universe diapers as the Soul. The one that appears as ‘I’ is the dualistic illusion.
The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the object (three states), observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the object (three states) will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same three states. Each one interprets the three states that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, object (the world in which he exists as a reality), whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness (subject).
Thus, all objective observation has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
