If ‘I’ is there then the mind is there. If mind is there then the universe is there

Direct realization of the ultimate truth leads one to freedom from experiencing the illusion as reality. The seekers of truth can constantly reflect on this non-dual truth to get firm conviction.

Seekers who are after truth can propitiate through constant reflecting on the true self, which is consciousness, and attain their desired aim of reaching.
 Only consciousness is perennial, all others are impermanent, arriving at such a conviction, is truly the capacity for discrimination. Knowledge is never attained without reflection, like an object is never seen without a bright light.

The enquiry, analysis through deeper reasoning that needs to be done is:-

1. Why man and his experience of the world are present only in waking or dream?
 
2. Why the universe is present only when the mind is present? 
 
3. With what the mind has it been made?

Thoughts like “I” and “I am” will not cease until one understands What is ‘I’. One has to understand the fact that, the thought will not rise without the waking or dream therefore, the waking or dream has to be there prior to real thought process. Thus thoughts are nothing to do with the formless witness of the waking or dream.

Thoughts are concerned to the individual not to the formless witness. Thus whatever is part of the mind has to be falsehood. Thus the thoughts, which arise to the false self within the false experience is bound to be falsehood. Thus it is erroneous to trace the source of the thought instead on has to first realize the fact that the ‘I’ is not the self. And ‘I’ is not the limited to the physical entity but ‘I’ is whole universe, which appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep.

If ‘I’ is there then the mind is there. If mind is there then the universe is there. And the universe is present only when waking or dream is present.

One see differences between things because of ignorance, all these differences would vanish when one gets wisdom and the various thoughts rises because one considers ‘I’ as self.

The cause for this ignorance and the universe, is subtle and one without second and unchanging existence, Similar to the water being the cause of clouds and snow.
