The Soul, the Self, is everything because whatever exists as the universe is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge of Self, the knowledge of Atman, worships ‘Self’ as~ Atman (God in truth) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare"

The humanity has to awaken itself to the reality of its true existence. The humanity is a reality within the dualistic illusion. The Soul, the Self, is the Ancient One.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. The Soul has to wake up from its sleep of ignorance. The ignorance is the cause of experiencing the unreal universe as a reality.

The universe is in the ‘I’ because the ‘I’ itself is the universe. Do not try to find the truth in the next world because the truth is hidden by the ‘I’.

Find out what is this ‘I’ in actuality.

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

The Soul, the Self, does not change; all the changes are mere an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

As you go deeper in self-search, you will realize the fact that ‘I’ itself is an illusion.

The ‘I’ appears and disappears but the Soul, the witness of the ‘I’ witnesses the coming and going, of the ‘I’.

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

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say 'I', If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take it as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. There is no need to convince such mindsets. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth, nothing but the truth.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the mind is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘mind’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.

If the form, time, and space are an illusion, then the universe is bound to be an illusion.

If the universe is bound to be an illusion, then waking is bound to be an illusion.

If the waking is bound to be an illusion then the experiencing of the birth, life, death which happens within the universe is bound to be an illusion.

The illusion is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is real and eternal. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman, nor worship other than the Atman? (10:48, 5)

The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Whatever you have seen, known, believed and experienced is within the dualistic illusion. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.

Like an ornament made from Gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like Gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of Gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.

Realization of the Soul as God is the ultimate realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumar
