Experience is possible only in the domain of the form, time and space whereas the Soul the Self is formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
Experience implies duality. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the duality is merely an illusion, thus, any type of experience is bound to be an illusion.
Your ego, your body and your experience of the world are created out of a single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads you to realize everything is consciousness. Thus, there is unity in the diversity in your understanding and realization.
Remember:~
Anubhav in the Advaitic contest is not an experience, but is the realization of the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion (Maya or world).
Remember, the 'Self' is not an individual, but the Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The experience is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space. In reality, form, time, and space are one in essence.
Individual truth is not a universal truth. An individual cannot claim that he has experienced the whole.
There is no proof he has seen it because the whole is not an individual experience. Man and the world are within the whole. Therefore, such claims of experiencing the Soul, the Self is hallucinations because the whole cannot be experienced.
After all, the experience of form, time, and space is merely an illusion created out of the formless Soul or consciousness.
All claims of experiencing (Anubhav) the 'Self' or Brahman is a falsehood because experience implies duality and duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.
The 'Self 'or 'Brahman' cannot be experienced because it is prior to any experience and there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. The 'Self' has to be realized by getting rid of ignorance through wisdom. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
