The Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, is Self-evident.+

 

It is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness that pervades everywhere and in everything in this universe, and this universe exists in the Soul.

The true nature of the Soul is nondual that is the fullness of consciousness, without the illusory division of form, time, and space.

You have to realize the Self is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Self-realization is not the ‘I’ realization.

Consciousness is within dualistic illusion; consciousness is without the dualistic illusion.

Until one thinks that his body as body, ego as ego the universe as the universe, he remains in ignorance because he is still in ignorance and he is unaware of the fact that they too are consciousness.

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it.

Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is the true Self.

The Soul, the innermost Self is formless and non-dual, one without a second. It has no other besides it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. The Soul cannot be described because description implies a distinction.

The Soul cannot be distinguished from any other than it. In the Soul, there is no distinction between substance and attribute. Nondualistic awareness constitutes the very essence of the Soul and not just its attributes.

The Soul is impersonal. It becomes personal only through its association with the three states or illusion.

As through the ignorance of the real nature of the rope, the very rope appears in an instant as a snake, so also does the Soul or consciousness appear in the form of the waking or dream without undergoing any change.

There exists no other material cause of this waking or dream except consciousness. Hence, these three states are but consciousness and nothing else.

All three states are consciousness, because they arise from consciousness, and sustained by consciousness, and finally, dissolve as consciousness.

The idea of the pervaded and the pervading is illusory. When this supreme truth is realized, then there is no room for any distinction between the cause and the effect.

Certainly, there is no manifoldness in consciousness. The non-dual cause being an established fact, how could the three states be different from consciousness, when they are created out of consciousness? : ~Santthosh Kumaar
