What happens to consciousness when the form dies?+

Q:~R W:~ Can you explain what happens to consciousness when the form dies?

Santthosh Kumaar: ~What happens in deep sleep, the same thing that happens when one dies, but in death, consciousness remains in its nondual true nature eternally.

Consciousness remains in its own awareness without the illusory form, time, and space.

For a Gnani, the world is merely an illusion. He sees the world in which he exists as an object; thus, for a Gnani, the world in which birth, life and death happen is a passing show.

The commoner thinks he is an individual separate from the world, and the world existed prior to him, and he is born in it. Until this conviction is there, the world in which he exists prevails as a reality. Therefore, there is a need to realize that the one who is born, lives and dies in this world is not the Self.

The Self is a birthless and deathless Soul because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

From the ultimate standpoint, nothing is ever born, nothing dies, one that is born in ignorance. Ignorance is present in the form of 'I'. The ‘I’ is the whole universe. The universe is a dualistic illusion, or Maya.

Birth is the birth of ignorance. Physical Life is a life of ignorance. Death is the death of ignorance. Whatever exists without ignorance is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

The one who is born, lives and dies within the illusory world is not the Self.

The Self is the Soul, which is unborn and eternal. The Soul is the cause of the illusory world in which birth and death take place.:~Santthosh Kumaar
