The body, ego and the world are present only when the mind is present.+

The body, ego, and the world are present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the ‘I’.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

It is erroneous to limit the ‘I’ only to the ego. Without the ‘I’ the universes in which you exist cease to exist. Therefore, the ‘I’ is the whole universe.

The Self is not within the body, but the Self is hidden within the world, in which they exist.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is one and undifferentiated. The dual and non-dual experiences (waking or dream (duality) and deep sleep (nonduality) is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

In Self-awareness, the Soul withdraws the three states into itself and remains in its awareness in the midst of the duality. The Soul is indeed the Self —luminous. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
