Consciousness is non-dual, one without a second. It has no second thing besides it.+

“Neti, Neti" — not this, not this, not that.” This does not mean that consciousness, which is ultimate truth or Brahman is a negative concept, or a metaphysical abstraction, or a nonentity, or a void. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Consciousness is second to none. Consciousness is not another. Consciousness is all-full, infinite, changeless, Self-existent, Self-delight, Self-knowledge, and Awareness. Consciousness is the essence. Consciousness is the formless knower of all that is known. Consciousness is the formless Seer and the Seen. Consciousness is transcendent and formless Witness.

Consciousness is impersonal and without attributes, formless, without special characteristics, immutable, eternal, and non-agent. Consciousness is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of from, time and space.

Consciousness is non-dual, one without a second. It has no second thing besides it. Consciousness is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Consciousness cannot be described because description implies a distinction. Consciousness cannot be distinguished from any other than it. In consciousness, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Awareness is the very essence of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The attributeless consciousness is impersonal and pure. Consciousness becomes a personal or attributed consciousness only through its association with illusion, which appears in the form of mind or the universe or waking or dream.

Attributed consciousness and attributeless consciousness are not two different consciousnesses. Attributeless consciousness is not the contrast, antithesis, or opposite of attributed consciousness. The same attributeless consciousness appears as attributed consciousness. The mind and the Soul are one in essence. The essence is consciousness. Thus, consciousness is second to none.

The attributed consciousness appears in the form of the mind. The mind is in the form of the universe. And the universe appears as waking or dream. Thus, the Mind, the universe, the waking or dream are one and the same thing.

Remember:~

Consciousness means existence. The universe exists because of consciousness. Without consciousness, the universe ceases to exist.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is all-pervading. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness is not within any particular body it pervades the whole universe.

The consciousness pervades the form, time, and space. Without consciousness, the form, time, and space cease to exist.

Only in ignorance, there is duality. In reality, there is no duality.

‘I’ is a false nature. Holding the ‘I’ as the Self is holding on to the ignorance. The ignorance will not buzz till you hold on to the ‘I’ because ‘I’ itself is ignorance.

You must know what God supposed to be in actuality. God is the cause of this universe and God is uncaused.

The Soul is not limited to an individual. The individuals are many but the Soul is one. The individual exists within the universe. The Soul is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused. The Soul is not within the human body. The universe is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, whatever universe contains is bound o be the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

In the dream world, the dream people appeared together and disappeared together and disappear together.

Similarly, the waking world and waking people appeared together and disappear together. Thus the dream is created out of single stuff and that stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

In the same way, the waking experience also created out single stuff. And that single stuff is the consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the cause of the three states and it itself is uncaused. The many soul theories are religious and yogic fable based on the false self(ego) and false experience (waking).

Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. God neither comes nor goes, but God exists always. The form, time, and space, which appear as disappears are mere an illusion. Thus, all the form-based Gods are merely an illusion. God is the cause of the form, time, and space, and God is causeless.

Why worship God based on the illusory form, time, and space, Self-realization is God-realization and God-realization is the real worship. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
