Accepting the experience of birth, life death and the world as reality, is
accepting the illusion as reality. Accepting illusion as reality is the cause
of the ignorance. Ignorance makes one feel the duality as reality. The duality
makes one feel he is an individual separate from the world. This separation makes one feel the birth,
life and death as reality. The person
who bases on the birth, life and death is trying to find the meaning of life.
There is no meaning or purpose of the life, because the life is mere happening
within the illusion. Thus the karma
based on the physical entity is based on the experience of birth, life ,death and the world which is
part and parcel of the illusion.
All
appearance has not appeared to the physical entity, but to the formless soul, the innermost self . Man and the world
are mere appearance. That is, the
illusion is mere appearance. Thus man cannot be considered as witness, since
man and his experience of the world are within the illusion. Thus the witness of the illusion is within
the illusion but it is apart from the illusion.
It is with is within the illusion as its formless substance and it is
apart from the illusion as its formless witness. The formless substance and witness is the formless
soul or consciousness or spirit. The soul or consciousness spirit is the true self. Realizing the soul as self is
Self -Realization. Therefore, the soul
alone is real and all else is mere illusion. By Learning to view and judge the
truth on the base of soul as self will lead one to realize the fact that the
man and the world are mere illusion.
Therefore, it is necessary to learn to view and
judge the truth on the base of soul, to understand and assimilate the
self-knowledge. It is the though the
soul one knows himself as a person and perceives the world. It is the soul, which is the author/knower of
the three states, not the person who is limited to waking/dream.
