The seeker has to use his reason (Buddhi) in order to realize the truth hidden by ignorance.

Remember, the Self is not the ‘I’ but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

It is impossible to find the ‘Self’ through ‘I-centric gurus and their teaching. The seeker has to use his reason (Buddhi) in order to realize the truth hidden by the ignorance. The ignorance is present in the form of the ‘I’.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

Reality, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false, like dreams.

Cross the ‘I’ and enter the kingdom of the Advaitic heaven. The Self is not ‘I’ because the Soul, the Self, is prior to the ‘I’.

Simply saying ‘I AM’ that or ‘I AM this is to the genderless Soul is not wisdom. Without knowing what this ‘I’ supposed to be, in actuality not wisdom but ignorance.

First, know what his ‘I’ supposed to be. The ‘I’ is an object to the Soul, which is the formless, timeless and spaceless subject. The ‘I’ is the whole universe, which appears and disappears. Without the ‘I’ the universe ceases to exist.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what leads to unfolding the mystery of the ‘I’. Sticking to the ‘I-centric’ gurus and their teaching keeps you in the cage of ignorance.

The ‘Self, the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is not limited to you because it pervades in everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist.

You are not God. The Soul, the ‘Self’ is God in truth. It is not correct to say I am God, or I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman or God remains, not the I.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, the ‘I’ is an illusion, which appears and disappears.

It is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time and space whereas the Soul, the innermost Self is formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

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

To understand the false nature of the ‘I’, the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary.

The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul, which is the witness of the ‘I’. By holding the’ Self’ ‘I' leads to hallucination based on the imagination.

Those who are stuck with the ‘I’ –centric teaching never be able to cross the domain of the form, time and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
