The Self is not 'I' because the 'I' is the whole universe. The 'I' is not an individual. So, the inquiry based on the individual as Self will not reveal the truth hidden by ignorance.
Sage Sankara: ~ "Without examining the universe, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the universe exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the universe.
The universe itself is what God is all about. The totality of the universe is what God is all about.
You just study the nature of the universe with all the seriousness and sincerity to unfold the mystery of the universe. That is all you have to do.
Until the mystery of the universe is solved, the Self hidden by the illusory universe will not be realized.
Consciousness is the one single reality or Brahman. The individual self is a reality within the illusory universe or Maya.
Look into the nature of the universe. And you will be able to see that the universe by its very nature is illusory. The moment you understand that the universe is illusory, ignorance disappears and Atmic-awareness arises.
Atmic-awareness is the state of non-dual reality. That is the state of Advaita.
Remember:~
Manduka Upanishad has no assumptions whatsoever. It is an honest and bold inquiry into truth. It rises above scripture.
Manduka Upanishad:~ Reality and illusion together make Brahman: nothing can be left out.

Manduka Upanishad:~Only a few will be able to understand and assimilate it
Manduka Upanishad is not meant for all, as it is based entirely on reasoning.
