Until you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never be able to get Self-realization.*****

The ‘Self’ is not you because you are the false identity within the dualistic illusion.

The dualistic illusion hides the ‘Self’. How can you identify the Self as you or 'I' when you belong to the dualistic illusion?

Those who are propagating the Self as you are propagating ignorance, not Sage Sri, Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom.

What is this ‘I’?

The ‘I’ is not a thought. The ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is the whole universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one that appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality) is the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of the consciousness. The consciousness pervades everything and everywhere in all the three states.

Without knowing what mind is, it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

People think the mind is within the body, but deeper self-search reveals the fact that the world in which you exist itself is the mind.

When the ‘I’ is there then only the mind is there. If the mind is there then only the universe is present.

If the universe is there then only the waking is there. Thus, it is very much necessary to realize the ‘what ‘I’ is in actuality.

Without knowing ‘what is this ‘I’ it is impossible to realize the ‘I-less’ truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Until you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never be able to get Self-realization.

‘I’ hides the Soul, which is the innermost Self.

I’ is ignorance.

‘I’ is the duality.

‘I’ is the form, time, and space.

‘I’ is the universe.

‘I’ is the waking.

‘I’ is the dream.

‘I’ is the illusion.

‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death and the world.

Without the ‘I’ there is no ignorance.

Without the ‘I’ there is no duality.

Without the ‘I’ there is no form, time, and space.

Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.

Without the ‘I’ there is no waking.

Without the ‘I’ there is no dream.

Without the ‘I’ there is no illusion.

Without the ‘I’ there is no experience of birth, life, death and the world.

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The ‘I’ hides the truth.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say ‘I,’, If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

The Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

Attachment to the ‘I’ is an attachment to the ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality.

Remember the ‘Self’ is not 'I' but the ‘Self’ is Soul. Realization of the Soul as the Self is detachment from the ‘I’, which is ignorance. Holding Self as 'I' is holding the dualistic illusion (world) as a reality.

Detachment from ignorance, is freedom for the Soul, the Self from the prison of the dualistic illusion.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
