Nothingness is the nature of the Soul, the Self.+

Nothingness is the nature of the Soul, the innermost Self. Nothingness means consciousness without the division of form, time, and space. Nothingness is the fullness of consciousness.

People say ‘I AM’ nothing but they are unaware that with what they are able to say ‘I AM’ nothing when something exists to say ‘I am’ nothing.

The consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The consciousness is all-pervading and is the Self of all the three states. Consciousness is the formless substance and witness of all three states. The formless substance and witness are one in essence. Hence, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Thus, the three states are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Therefore, there is no second thing exists other than consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and the three states are an illusion created out of the consciousness.

Remember:~ 

Sage Sankara disagrees with Buddhists who say, there is nothing - a nonentity. Sage Sri, Sankara believes there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be. If one knows the truth, he will know what to do to find inspiration for action.  The seeker of truth‘s subject is to know what is it that is Real.

Buddhism says:~ all things are illusory and nothing exists.  However, Advaita avers that it is not so.  It says that the universe, of course, is illusory, but there is Brahman (consciousness), that exists, forming the very substratum of all things (illusion or universe).

Until you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never be able to get Self-realization.  ‘I’ hides the Soul, which is the  Self. ‘

'I’ is ignorance.

‘I’ is the duality.

‘I’ is the form, time, and space.

‘I’ is the universe.

‘I’ is the waking.

‘I’ is the dream.

‘I’ is the illusion.

‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

Remember:~

Without the ‘I’ there is no ignorance.

Without the ‘I’ there is no duality.

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

Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.

Without the ‘I’ there is no waking.

Without the ‘I’ there is no dream.

Without the ‘I’ there is no illusion.

Without the ‘I’ there is no experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the ‘Self. The ‘I’ hides the truth.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say ‘I,’, If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

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

It is time to discard the ‘I’. Never use the word ‘I’ or I AM for the Self.   

The Self is not 'I' but the 'Self is hidden by the 'I'. The ‘I’ hides the truth of the Soul, the Self'. The ‘I’ hides the truth.

The 'I-centric Gurus and their teachings are not Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom.

It is time to discard the ‘I’. Never use the word ‘I’ or I AM for the Self. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
