Deeper analysis of the three states leads to Self-awareness or Brahmic-Awareness or Atmic-awareness.

The three states only mere illusion created, sustained by the soul or consciousness, the innermost self. It is erroneous to view and judge the truth on the base of the waking entity, because the waking entity and the waking world are part of the illusion.  In reality everything in illusion is created out of consciousness. 

Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Waking or dream is mere mirage on the stand point of Soul, the innermost self.  Therefore, the formless Soul or consciousness is the witness of the illusion, which is present as waking experience. Therefore,   it is erroneous to view and judge and conclude the truth   on the standpoint of the waking entity or ego, or   physical body creator, god, or world because no second thing exist other than the consciousness, the innermost self. 

By viewing and judging the truth on the standpoint of the waking entity or ego or creator, god, or world is the greatest hindrance in assimilating the nondual truth because they are mere ideas within the illusion. The religion, god and world and physical self are nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. Thus, seeking the truth on their base, one will not be able to cross the threshold of experience of duality.

How the non-dual wisdom can be acquired the liberation from the duality can be attained is the main question of the seeker of truth. It is possible only through soul-centric reasoning. The religious and yogic claims are no wisdom because they lead towards imaginary and hallucinated realization based on the physical self. Therefore, none except the inner path can transport the Seeking Mind beyond duality.

  The  real wisdom is based on non-duality. Non-dual wisdom  is  based on the soul, which is the innermost self. The wisdom is impossible without Inquiry, analyzing and Reasoning by discriminating between the dual and non-dual experiences which appear and disappear in succession as three states. Deeper analysis of the three states leads to Self-awareness or Brahmic-Awareness or Atmic-Awareness. 

Man is unable to grasp the truth because of the inborn or inherited conditioning bases him on the physical self. Thus, he judges everything on the base of physical self, which is limited to waking experience. 

Only when he inquires, analyzes and reasons to the nature of the mind then   he will be able to discover the fact that, the self is not waking entity but it is the formless self. When he learns to view and judge the truth on the base of the soul, as self, then he will be able to   overcome the barricades created out of his inborn (I) and inherited samskara or conditioning. 

The religious based physical renunciation is of no use. The seeker has to renounce the ignorance.   The seeker has to discover the formless substance and witness of the three states.  This is possible only by mentally reflecting on the witness of the three states.
