Formless Soul is the subtle foundation of the mind,which is present in the form of universe.






Formless Soul is the subtle foundation of the mind,which is present in the form of universe. The mind is present in the form of 'I' . 'I' is present in the form of universe. universe appears as waking or dream(duality) and disappears as deep sleep(non-duality).  

Formless soul  is present in the form of consciousness.  Soul, the innermost self-supports, nourishes and sustains the illusory experience of   the birth,  the life,  the death and the world.

Soul is the source of all life. The mind contains plants, trees, animals, humans, planets, stars and universes come from this one source. One needs to know this source in order to the truth beyond the experience of duality.

 
So long as one is in the realm of duality, one has to explain how or why one thing came from another; and contradictory views are expressed. But when a Gnani shows there is no second, there is no production, and the contradictions do not arise at all, when the ultimate thing is consciousness alone. Thus consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman.

The dualist’ arguments are based on false self (ego or waking entity) and false experience (waking or dream or universe)    to show the weakness of the position of dualistic view point.  They at their wits end to explain.

 Existence cannot be a cause and effect at the same time, from the point of view of the dualist, but deeper self-search shows the Existent is no-two and causality can’t rise at all. Dualistic theory says that whatever was in the cause was also in the effect. They say that the gold brick, the gold medal, the gold ornaments --are in the seed--the gold. Deeper self-search reveals the fact that, if cause and effect are one what is the difference between the two? 
When one is aware of this source through deeper self-search , one realizes the fact that, the physical existence is mere mirage on the standpoint of the source, which is the soul.  Thus, the source itself is the true self, which is the formless substance and witness of the mirage created out of itself.

One feels a sense of unity in the midst of diversity, when he becomes aware of the fact that source itself is the true self.  Therefore, the self-knowledge is necessary to realize the cycle of birth, life and death are mere illusion.  

 Veiled by ignorance, the formless  soul, the innermost self  appear to be different; yet in the realm of its formless non-dual true nature   , the mind and soul are one in essence. In deep sleep and death and at the dawn of wisdom the mind and soul becomes one.  
 
S
eeker has
to Reflect constantly on the nature of the formless  soul, the innermost self and transcend physical consciousness. Thus, will one reach union with the soul? Thus, will one become identified with the soul, which is One without a second? In soul, alone all desires will find fulfillment. The truth is that one is always united with the soul. However, one must know this.
