Where is the body, where is the mind, where is the world, the void; or despair in the invisible Soul, the Self, which the taintless, which is present in the form of consciousness. They are or have become consciousness.
One thinks there is a mind when he has thoughts, but when thoughts are not considered different from consciousness, which is the true Self, then where is the division into waking, dream, and deep sleep, etc?
Void implies duality: the universe may not exist, but the thought of the second is there. If one knows there is a Void (emptiness/nothingness), then there is something there to be known and known. They are or have become consciousness.
All these appearances are merely an illusion that comes and goes; hence, meaningless to the formless Soul, the Self.
Egocentric knowledge is not the ultimate knowledge because ego-based knowledge is dualistic, knowledge based on the object (body) as the subject. But in non-dualistic Knowledge, whatever seems to exist also is consciousness; therefore, there is no scope for the existence of the second thing.
All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time, and space.
People think everything is energy, but without consciousness, how can one know it is energy? It is only intellectual speculation.
Chandogya Upanishad:~ One who meditates upon and realizes the 'Self' discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the Self.
The sun, the moon, the stars, and planets shine because of the Soul or Spirit. The Soul shines, and all things else shine as a result. Everything in the universe reflects but that light of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. Merely knowing the truth is not enough to escape from the tangle of illusion. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
