The individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is part of the dualistic illusion. =

A person is born, lives, and dies within the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

A person is the birth entity. The one, which is born, lives, dies in this world, is not the Self, because the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is birthless and deathless.

The Self is not a person, but the Self is the invisible Soul; therefore, the individual experience of birth, life, and death, and the world has nothing to do with the Soul, Self, which is birthless, deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

On the dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is reality, whereas on the non-dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion.

The orthodoxy accepts the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality, whereas Sage Sankara declares the world is unreal; Brahman alone is real.

Thus, the experience of birth, life, and death happening within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion. The illusion has no value from the Advaitic perspective. So the Soul alone is real and eternal. 

Remember:~

The individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is part of the dualistic illusion. Thus, the dualistic illusion, which appears as the universe is created out of consciousness.

People who believe in God as a creator are deluded because they are unaware of the fact that the Self is not the form, but the Self is the Soul. The invisible Soul is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

People refuse to accept anything other than their religious samskara (conditioning) and inborn samskara (I). People refuse to inquire about the truth of their own God, which they believe in and worship.

People's conviction in their inherited convictions is deep-rooted; therefore, they are not qualified for the pursuit of truth unless they are ready to investigate the truth of their true existence. There is no need to convince religious-minded people to waste time.

Without realizing the  Self is not ‘I’ but the  Self, the invisible Soul, the truth hidden by the ‘I’ will not be revealed.

By inquiring WHO AM I’,  ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of ignorance, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Without Advaitic wisdom, the universe will prevail as a reality.

Until you hold the Self as the ‘I’ Self, realization is a distant dream. If you are stuck with your inherited conditioning and accumulated knowledge from here and there, and accept them as truth, then you are not receptive to assimilate Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

As a seeker of truth, you have to verify on every angle through deeper self-search and accept only the uncontradicted truth. The spiritual truth is Advaitic truth cannot be contradicted. Religious truth is not universal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
