The ‘I’ is not within your body.+

   

                                                     The ‘I’ is not within your body.

The ‘Self’ is not you, and the ‘Self’ is not within you. The ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, pervades everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist. If you hold the ‘Self’ as ‘I’ then you are misdirected.

Attachment to duality or 'I' leads to remain in the hallucination of the cycle of birth, life, and death. And detachment from 'I' is the key to freedom from experiencing the universe, which is a dualistic illusion or Maya as a reality.

Consciousness is not limited to the waking entity and the waking world because it pervades all the three states.

By inquiring “WHO AM ‘I’?”, which is limited the waking entity will yield only half-truth, because it exposed only the unreal nature of the form and fails to expose the unreality of the time and space.

WHO AM I?- inquiry will not yield full truth. Without taking all the three states into account, it is impossible to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Many people who are stuck with “WHO AM ‘I’? and ‘I AM THAT-teachings are unaware of the fact that their journey is incomplete.

‘WHO AM ‘I’ and “I AM THAT’- teachings are only stages, they have to go much beyond WHO AM ‘I’? and ‘I AM THAT’- teachings.

When the ‘Self’ is not waking entity (you) and the waking experience is the false experience than what is the use of assuming of the ‘Self’ ‘without the form without realizing what ‘‘Self’ ‘is in actuality.

The ‘Self’ is without the form, without the time and without space. The Self is the Soul, which the cause of the illusory form, time, and space.

One has to realize the ‘Self’ is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space, but ‘Self’ is without the illusory form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are one, in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the ‘Self’, the form, time, and space are merely an illusion. Perfect understanding is needed to realize ‘what is what’ to know ‘what is truth ‘and ‘what is an illusion’. Simply intellectually speculating, saying ‘I AM THIS’ or ‘I AM THAT’ is not Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
