Attachment to the Soul, the ’Self’, and detachment from the ‘I’’ (world) is the key to freedom and salvation. Everyone is attached to the 'I' without knowing what this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality.
The ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is present in the form of the whole universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality_ and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
The waking experience is a parallel dream, and the dream is a parallel waking.
The 'I' appears as the mind is impermanent and unreal because it merely a dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Remember this:~
Why the 'I', does not disappear even after inquiry, even if one knows intellectually I am not the body?
If the 'I', is not the body, what is this 'I', without the body?
How can the 'I', remain as 'I', without the body?
Where 'I', disappeared in deep sleep?
What is it that knows the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?
When the 'I' is impermanent, what is it that permanent, which knows the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?
How can one remain as 'I', when it is impermanent and the judge the eternal truth, which is not the 'I'?
Seeker of the truth has to find what is eternal, and what is impermanent to decide whether the 'I' or duality is permanent or the Soul, witness of the 'I', is permanent- to overcome the illusion and establish in the nondualistic reality.
The words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need reading and hearing the words of wisdom to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.
“It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the innermost Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
