The ‘I’ is not limited to an individual. Realize the ‘I’ is the whole universe. Without the ‘I’ the universe ceases to exist. Until you limit the ‘I’ to you, you will never be able to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’.

The mind is not within the physical body because the mind is the whole universe. People wrongly identify ego as the mind.

The ‘I’ appears along with the universe and disappears along with the universe, therefore, the ‘I’ itself is the universe.

You appear along with the universe and disappear along with the universe. Without the universe, you cease to exist.

The ignorance is present in the form of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the dualistic illusion (Maya). The dualistic illusion is present in the form of the universe. 

The universe appears as waking or dream and waking or dream (duality) disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

‘I’ itself is ignorance.

‘I’ itself is mind.

‘I’ itself is a dualistic illusion.

‘I’ itself is the universe.

‘I’ itself is waking or dream.

‘I’ itself is form, time, and space together.

But remember:~

Without the ‘’I’ there is no ignorance.

Without the ‘I’ there is no mind.

Without the ‘I’ there is no dualistic illusion.

Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.

Without the ‘I’ there is waking or dream.

Without the ‘I’ there is no form, time, and space.

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘The permanent (consciousness) is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

First, you must make sure the ‘I’ itself is illusory because the ‘I’ is not permanent. :~Santthosh Kumaar
