Is it for the experience of overcoming a human mind to decide who Brahman is? *****

A.M~ Q:~ ‘Please permit me to ask a question, my brother. Has 'Self 'created the desire within my mind to seek out the truth in order to free the Self? Has Self brought me to know you from the same desire to be free? Has everything been created before me to lead me to Self? It is not duality, it is only Self. Is it for the experience of overcoming a human mind to decide who Brahman is? I hope my questions are not an annoyance. I am confident in the words you speak. I know of no other to ask. And I will thank you in advance for your consideration. Your brother, Mark

Santthosh Kumaar: ~ If you had asked the same question in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when you realize the ‘Self is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

If the waking is unreal then your experience of the birth, life, death and the world within the waking experience also is unreal (illusion). 

The question is based on the waking entity (you or ego). Whatever is based on the waking entity (ego) is based on the dualistic perspective.

You have to learn to view the worldview on nondualistic perspective then only you will be able to have the Soulcentric view of the worldview.  

In Advaitic  Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though ego is present, the body is not considered as body even though body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as the world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, because of wisdom everything is considered as consciousness. Thus, there is conscious oneness.

Only in ignorance the world in which we are an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self. 

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

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 world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul or the consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time and space.

To say the universe is an illusion without first examining it and inquiring into its nature thoroughly is to delude oneself. This world is common to every one of us; therefore the seeker of truth must begin his inquiry with it. It is only after he has inquired into the nature of the objective world, he realizes the universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought. The consciousness is the ultimate truth. Ultimate truth means Brahman. The ultimate truth is God.

Brahman: ~ ‘The English use of the word real as applied to the material world, whereas we Indians use it as applied to unseen Brahman. Hence many errors have arisen in translations from the Sanskrit.

Brahman: ~ ‘The word Brahman or Sat has no proper equivalent in English. The nearest is ultimate reality or ultimate truth. The west, however, applies reality to individual objects or to the multiplicity of them all: whereas Gnani’s apply it to the non-duality. Brahman is called "That" because it is something not known yet by the seeker.

It is erroneous to believe the general impression is that the universe disappears to a Gnani, that he sees nothing in Samadhi. Only by deluded persons will have such an impression?   Nothing is destroyed. Only ignorance disappears and the unreal nature of the universe is exposed.  The universe which appears as waking experience is the dualistic illusion.

A Gnani has the full and firm conviction that everything is consciousness in the midst of dualistic illusion.  The Soul, Self being aware of its true nature in the midst of dualistic illusion is called Self-awareness.  

The universe or the waking experience will not disappear.  It is there always but the unreal nature of the waking experience is exposed in the midst of dualistic illusion through Advaitic wisdom.

Let you be clear on one thing. The world in which you exist is mere a dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. But in the reality, the world in which you exist neither exists in the past nor exists now nor going to exist in the future. Whatever existed in the past and whatever exists now and whatever is going to exists in the future is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness.

All our experience of the birth, life, and death is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. The only real thing in the world in which we exist is the consciousness, which is the cause of this world and it itself is uncaused.

All your doubts and confusions are based on an unsupported assumption because your views and judgments are based on the dualistic perspective. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
