The orthodox and intellectuals who expound knowledge believe that the world is first and people were born in it afterwards. So long as this conviction is there, they cannot expound the self-knowledge because the waking experience itself is mirage therefore the birth, life; death and world are part of the mirage and has no value in the realm of the truth.

Only within the Waking or dream the sense of separation is experienced. The dream is parallel waking and waking is parallel dream. Prior to appearance of the Waking experience, there was neither the waking entity nor the waking world . The duality (universe) ceases to exist without the waking or dream experience. Only when the Waking or dream appears the person and the world is present. In deep sleep the waking or dream subsides and becomes one with the soul or consciousness , the innermost self.

Waking entity is aware of the waking world within the waking experience. The dream entity is aware of the dream world within the dream. But one that is aware of the coming and going of the three states is always apart. The witness that witnesses the three states is not an entity or identity within the three states because it is formless and it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Therefore, seeker has to investigate to overcome all the doubts and confusion through perfect understanding of ' what is what' to realize, the the three states are one in essence. And that essence is formless consciousness (soul) . On the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self the three states are non-existent as reality. -FORMLESS PATH
