The waking experience is a parallel dream and the dream is a parallel waking experience.+

Our individual life is nothing to do with ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. The individual life is a reality within the waking or dream.

The waking experience is a parallel dream and the dream is a parallel waking experience. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, The three states are merely an illusion.

All three states are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Consciousness is the substance and witness of the illusion and it is hidden within the illusion and it is always apart from the illusion.

It is hidden within the illusion as its formless substance and it is apart from the illusion as its formless witness. In reality, the formless substance and witness are one in essence. Everything is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Remember:~

The dream is an illusory experience. The dream body, dream ego, and dream world are merely experiences, which appeared and disappeared.

Likewise, the waking body, ego, and the waking world are also merely experiences, which appear and disappear the same way as the dream.

The dream entity is limited to a dream, and the waking entity is limited to a waking experience.

The one that witnesses, the three states, is formless, apart, and eternal. This has to be mentally grasped. What exists eternally is the Soul, which is in the form of consciousness.

The words are mere communication purposes. When one bases his understanding on the physical base then the word and thoughts continuously convey something.

When one’s understanding is firm with conviction that, the soul is the innermost self, then for him the words, thoughts, and experience are merely an illusion.

When one is fully aware of the fact that, the body and the world are merely an experience, and the author of the experience (body+world) is not physical, but the formless Soul (consciousness), then he is fully aware of the fact that ‘I’/YOU/ME and the world is merely an illusory experience.

The experience implies duality. The duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.

Thus whatever is experienced on the base of ‘I’/YOU/ME is falsehood. One has to realize the fact that, the witness of the three states is not the waking entity but the formless soul.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the three states are merely an illusion. :~Santthosh Kumaar
