It is not you who has to be free. It is the Soul, the Self that has to be free from you and the world in which you exist.+

It is not you who has to be free. You and the world in which you exist is the product of ignorance. Only ignorant will say you become free.

Remember, you are the false self (ego)within the dualistic illusion (universe).
The Soul, the Self, is nothing to do with you and your world in which you exist because the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
It is not you who has to be free. It is the Soul, the Self, that has to be free from you and the world in which you exist.
Till you hold the Self as you, the Soul, the ‘Self’ -will remain in the cage of ignorance.
Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusory universe as reality.
Ignorance is the root cause of our bondage. So in order to put an end to our bondage and attain liberation from experiencing the illusion as a reality, ignorance which is the root cause has to be destroyed; and ignorance can be destroyed only by attaining the Self-knowledge, discriminating it from the illusion.
Advaitic Wisdom is the means by which Self -Realization is desired to be attained.
Self-realization is the highest end of man since it destroys the root of ignorance, the cause of the illusory universe.
Only Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana destroys the ignorance. Self’ –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana eradicate the foundational ignorance.
Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana alone is the means to the attainment of liberation from the dualistic illusion
He who has realized the ultimate truth or Brahman transcends the dualistic illusion, where he sees no second thing other than consciousness.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the Soul, and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is hidden by ignorance.
A yogi who sees the universe as reality may try to deny it because he thinks thoughtlessness is Brahman.
The yogi sees the universe as a second thing, and he wants to banish the universe in Samadhi because he does not know that in nonduality there is no need to deny the universe. But he has to realize the fact that, the universe is not something different from the ‘Self’, which consciousness.
Those who cannot grasp and realize this position, misunderstand it, and wrongly hold it to be yogic Samadhi where there is only blankness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
