Experience is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space.+

Experience is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space whereas the Soul, the Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Experience implies duality. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the duality is merely an illusion, thus, any type of experience is bound to be an illusion.

Your ego, your body, and your experience of the world are created out of a single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads you to realize everything is consciousness.

The individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world experienced in the dream was a reality within the dream. The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.hus, there is unity in the diversity in your understanding and realization.

You and your experience of the world disappear when the waking experience disappears. The waking experience disappears in deep sleep.

The dream disappears when the waking takes place. There is neither the waking nor the dream in deep sleep.

The seeker has to find out ‘what is it’ that’ becomes the waking or dream (duality) and ‘what is it that becomes the deep sleep (nonduality).

The one that becomes dual (waking or dream) and the one that becomes non-dual (deep sleep) is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self.

In the realm of the Soul, diversity has no value because there is unity in diversity in the consciousness.

All three states are made of single stuff. Realizing that single Stuff, which is the Soul is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Remember:~

Self-realization is not an experience because the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ cannot be experienced because it is the cause of the experience. The Soul, the Self is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Experience implies duality. Duality is nearly an illusion.

Experience requires experiencer. in non-dualistic reality, there is neither experience nor experiencer.

The Soul, the Self which is present in the form of consciousness, is prior to any experience. The experience is possible only in dualistic illusion. The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion.

Consciousness is the cause of the dualistic illusion and it, itself is uncaused. Consciousness is the only real thing within the dualistic illusion. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Anubava in the Advaitic contest is not an experience but it is the realization of the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion (Maya or illusory universe).

Remember the 'Self', is not an individual but the Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The experience is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space. In reality, form, time, and space are one in essence.

Individual truth is not a universal truth. An individual cannot claim that he has experienced the whole.

There is no proof he has seen it because the whole is not an individual experience.

The man and the world are within the whole. Therefore such claims of experiencing the Soul, the Self are hallucinations because the whole cannot be experienced.

After all, the experience of form, time, and space is merely an illusion created out of the formless soul or consciousness.

All claims of experiencing ( anubava) the 'Self' or Brahman is a falsehood because experience implies duality and duality is a falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.

Thus, 'Self 'or 'Brahman' cannot be experienced because it is before any experience and there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. 'Self' has to be realized by getting rid of ignorance through Advaitic wisdom. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
