The Birth, life and death takes place within the universe.

The birth, life and death takes place within the universe. The man is bound by religion and its theories within the universe.  Man believes and worships of a personal God within the universe. Man experiences the plain and pleasure within the universe.  All scientific inventions take place within the universe.  Man is religious or atheist within the universe. Man is ignorant of his true existence within the universe. Man is searching the truth of his true existence within the universe. Man is unaware of the fact that,  the phenomenal universe is unreal because he is within the state of ignorance. 

 The idea of the creator and creation is a myth. All [universe] is consciousness, and consciousness is all [universe].  The consciousness is ultimate truth. 

Self is ‘I’- less. Self is bodiless. Whatever is connected to ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is ignorance. When ignorance ends it is Gnana. When Gnana arise than the body, ego and the universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness.    Until one gets the firm conviction that the self is not physical but self is formless consciousness and learns to view and judge and conclude on the base of formless self, Gnana will not arise.  Gnana is the result of contemplation; it in annihilates ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusion as reality. 

Ignorance is cause of the illusion.  When the self becomes aware of it formless non-dual true nature then the ignorance vanishes and   reality appears. When the reality appears than the universe is mere illusion created out of the consciousness, which is the inner most self. 

Chandogya Upanishad

"When a person is sleeping soundly, free from dreams, with a still mind, that is the Self, fearless and deathless. That is Brahman, the supreme."

One has to find answers for: - What is that becomes waking? What is it that becomes dream? What is that becomes deep sleep.  As one goes in deeper self-search he becomes aware of the fact that the consciousness alone is the cause of the three states and it itself is uncaused. Until one thinks the self is limited to an individual and it is within the heart he will never be able to come out of physicality. The self is not an individual because it pervades in all the three states and it is formless substance and witness of the here states. 

  The individual experiences of birth, life, death and the world are nothing to do with the self because the self is birth -less and deathless.  The form, time and space are nothing to do with the self, because it is formless, timeless and space less existence.  Thus judging the truth on the bases of form, time and space is erroneous.  Thus ‘I’ or ‘I AM’, which is limited to physicality, will yield only half truth.
