The soul, innermost self is non-dual, one without a second.




Self-knowledge  or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana is the aim of every human being. Since everyone thinks the physical body is the self, their aim is misdirected and they focus their attention on materiality which makes one feel the duality (waking) as reality.

In pursuit of truth the ultimate truth has to be proved, not assumed.  The individual experience bliss is not Brahmic bliss or nondual Self-awareness.

Individual truth is not universal truth.  An individual cannot claim that he has experienced the whole.  There is no proof he has seen it, because the whole is not an individual experience. The man and the world are within the whole.  Thus such claims of experiencing the  soul  are mere hallucination. 

The soul , the innermost self is supreme and it is impersonal, without attributes, formless, immutable, eternal . It is above all needs and desires. soul is always the witnessing subject,  so it can never become an object as It is beyond the reach of the physicality because it is prior to physicality.  The soul, innermost  self is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other beside It. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. The soul  cannot be described, because description implies distinction. The soul cannot be distinguished from any other than itself.
The words betray the hollowness. The real cannot be described; it must be discovered and realized. Whatever the words try to convey is only helpful to grasp the truth. The nondual truth has to be grasped and realized. 


 Man knows only the world, and his individual experiences within the world.   He is not aware of the fact that, he and his experience of the world are part of the illusion because he  views and judges the truth on the base of his birth entity, which is the false entity within the false experience.  Thus he is stuck in the muck of illusion/duality. 


The nondual truth lies beyond the physical based understanding.  Thus, it is necessary to verify the fact through deeper self-search about his own inherited beliefs and accumulated knowledge, in order to realize, how they become an obstacle in realizing the truth.


  The physical conditioning of the soul will be dropped only when it realizes the fact that, the physical self  or  ego is not the self. Thus struggling to get rid of the ego, on the base of the ego is a foolish venture.   Constant mental pounding is necessary through constant reflecting on the truth .  The truth is  the formless  soul is the  innermost  self and  the soul is present in the form of consciousness. On the base of the  formless soul all else is mere mirage/illusion.  When one grasps this  truth and becomes firm in his conviction the physical conviction drops and the non-dual wisdom dawns.
