Real rebirth is dying from the matter into the Spirit. This is the significance of the crucifixion of Jesus.+

The cause of thirst for life and a thirst for rebirth is ignorance of the reality hidden by the ‘I’. the ‘I’ is the dualistic illusion.

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.   The ‘I’ is the matter whereas the ‘Self’ is the Soul, the Spirit.  The matter is nothing but an illusion created out of Spirit.  The universe is nothing but matter hides the Spirit because the universe is created out of the Spirit.

Real rebirth is dying from the matter into the Spirit. This is the significance of the crucifixion of Jesus. 

Whenever identification with the body and the world exists, a body and the world are always available, whether in the dream or waking or vision or astral, till the duality disappears by merging into the Source – the Spirit, or the Soul, Self.

The stone which is projected upwards remains in constant motion, till it returns to its source, the earth, and rests. Pain continues to give trouble, till the pre-pain state is regained.

The quest for self-knowledge is inherent in the very nature of life, which is Absolute Existence – truth. Although indestructible by nature, by false identification with its destructible instrument, the body, consciousness imbibes a false apprehension of its destructibility within the dualistic illusion; hence it tries to perpetuate that instrument, which results in believing the experience of birth, life, and death as a reality. But however long these experiences may last; they eventually come to an end and yield to the Soul the Spirit, which alone eternally exists.

The seeker has to give up identification with the ‘I’ which is the world in which you exist. The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion.  Remember, the world in which you exist cannot exist without the Soul, the Self, whereas the   Soul, the Self can exist without the world in which you exist; in fact, it is always without it.

People think human beings may take an animal birth in some other life. These ideas are based on accepting the present birth as a reality. When the present birth which happens within the world itself is an illusion then the future birth is bound to be an illusion.  

The seeker has to realize the fact that, the experience of birth, life and death are a reality within the dualistic illusion. part of the illusion, therefore, the birth rebirth and reincarnation which happens within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion.  The Self is the Soul hidden by the dualistic illusion. The Soul is the cause of the dualistic illusion (universe) and it itself is uncaused.

How can you identify the Self as you when the Soul, the ‘Self’ is birthless and deathless because, the Soul is formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

Remember:~

The Soul, the Self is covered by dualistic illusion (Maya).  The dualistic illusion is present in the form of the universe. The universe is the product of ignorance. When the ignorance vanishes then the Soul reveals itself its true nature. Ignorance vanishes when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

The Advaitic wisdom leads the seeker from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom, from unawareness of the ‘Self’ to Self-awareness, from unreality to reality.

The mind is virtually the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality). 

Efforts should be made to understand the mind. Advaitic is wisdom is an ancient truth preserved as a secret by Sages of truth.

We are within the illusion. Whatever we have seen, feel, known, believed and experienced are also within the illusion. The formless substance and witness of the illusion is the Soul, the Self.

In Self-awareness, the substance and witness are one in essence. That essence is the Soul which is present in the form of the consciousness (Spirit).

The dream entity and the dream world are within the dream. Similarly, you and your experience of the world are within the waking experience. The witness of the dream is not the waking entity. Similarly, the witness of the waking experience is not the waking entity. The Soul is the witness of the coming and going of the three states. The three states are nothing to do with the Soul the innermost 'Self' because, from the standpoint of the Soul the innermost Self, the three states are non-existent as reality.

The religion, religious Gods, and angels, religious conditioning is nothing to with Advaitic wisdom. Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality based on the Soul or Spirit, the real God.  

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or Christ or God. Thus, everything is God nothing but God. 

Remember:~

Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God  in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)” 

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there

Gospel Thomas logian 22:- Jesus saw infants being suckled.  He said to his disciples, “These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.”

They said to him, “Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?”

Jesus's version of Advaita:~ Jesus said to them,  “When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside  and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female is female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye,  and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom.”

Santthosh Kumaar: ~ When one realizes mind (matter) and Soul (spirit), the innermost 'Self' are one in essence then there is no place for duality. Without duality, the universe ceases to exist as a reality. Without the universe, your existence within the universe is merely an illusion because there is scope for two because everything is created out of single stuff.   That single stuff is consciousness or Spirit. 

 Jesus said: ~ “Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)

~ Jesus meant knowledge of Spirit or God or Self-knowledge or Advaitic wisdom should not be shared with the ignorant populace(pigs).

Self-knowledge is not meant for religious-minded people. 

Remember: ~

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.

The universe is the product of ignorance. The ignorance is present in the form of the ‘I’.

Sage Sankara says: - VC-47- All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward the ignorance will prevail as a reality. Until ignorance is there the universe prevails as reality.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation.

Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads Self-awareness. By holding onto theories one remains in the realm of duality. 

You have to mentally go on dropping what is not the truth through deeper Self-search. Finally when you become aware of the fact that, your ego, your body, and the world are one in essence then there is Self-awareness in the midst of duality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
