Whatever exists, it exists because of consciousness . Nothing can exist without consciousness.

Soul  is Consciousness. consciousness is the innermost self. The  consciousness is basis of everything that exists. Whatever exists, it exists because of consciousness . Nothing can exist without consciousness.

Consciousness  is not only the subject but also the substance of the object. The subject and object are one in its essence. The subject and object perception is possible only in ignorance. In reality there is no duality.  When the ignorance vanishes the duality vanishes and only the non-dual existence will prevail as ultimate truth. Thus the truth pursuit is to discover the fact that,  the subject is formless consciousness  and also the object is made out of the formless consciousness. Thus there is no second thing other then the consciousness in the experience diversity other then consciousness.  Thus everything in duality is appeared from consciousness  and sustained by  consciousness and finally dissolves as consciousness.  

 To understand such a simple truth, it becomes difficult task, since we have inherited or   accumulated the physical based dross.  Until  mentally drop  all the accumulated dross, our subconscious will not become receptive or accept anything other then accepted truth. 

Whatever One has heard, whatever he has been told, will have no value as far as the ultimate point of view. Whether one accepts the fact that, the only knowledge that he really has is the knowledge that he exists, that is consciousness. Other than that, whatever knowledge he thinks he has as a person, is part of the illusion, something acquired, based on the illusory consciousness.

The realization of truth is not intellectual understanding. Self- Realization is about realizing the fact that, the self is not physical, but it is the formless soul or consciousness.  Intellectual, logical, analytical perspective is based on the false self, will not help the seeker to reach his non-dual destination. The truth is beyond intellectual understanding and only the serious seekers who are free from preconceived accumulated ideas can get there.

The seeker of truth moves ahead by verifying the facts and by removing all the obstacles and reaches his non-dual destination. There is a need to bifurcate spirituality from the religion in order to understand assimilate and realize the non- dualistic or Advaitic  truth .
