If the Self is the form ( you) then the evolution theory holds water. If the Self is formless (Soul) then all the theories based on the form are of no value.
Until one thinks 'I' or I AM' as Self all these theories cannot transport anyone beyond form, time, and space. The theory of evolution is based on individuality, whereas the Self, pervades in everything and everywhere in the universe.
Individuality is the reality within the falsehood. Thus, all the theory based on individuality is bound to be a falsehood.
Thus, our judgment and the reason and the conclusion have to be based on formless Self not on the form (I) as Self, to realize the form, time and space are merely an illusion.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self the evolution is an impossibility because the Soul, the Self is ever formless.
Freedom is becoming free from experiencing the illusion or duality as a reality, by realizing the fact that, the Self is not the form but the Self is invisible unborn Soul. It is possible to realize this by realizing the fact that, the individual Self or ego is the reality within the false experience.
Thus, all the knowledge accumulated by judging on the base of the false Self is false knowledge.
The ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is the physical prison.
If the ‘I’ is the waking neither entity nor the ‘I’ is a dream entity, then what is ‘I’ without the waking or dream?
The ‘I’ is not limited to the ego (physical Self) because the ‘I’ is the whole physical existence or the universe.
Limiting the ‘I’ to the physical self is erroneous. Without realizing this truth, it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Since the sense of ‘I’ is present, only when the mind is present and it disappears along with the mind. The seeker will come to a conclusion after thoroughly verifying this fact, through deeper self-search and then come to a firm conviction that ‘I’ is mind.
‘I’ is mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream. Thus, ‘I’, Mind, the universe, waking and the dream, are one and the same thing.
Remember:~
Remember:~
The Soul is the Self. The ‘I’ is not the Soul. Holding the 'I' as the ‘Self’ is holding the falsehood as a reality. There is a need to know what is ‘I’ before indulging in the pursuit of truth.
Dualist sages including many sages and thinkers could not distinguish between ‘I’ and Self. They hold 'I' as the Self. Their highest was the Jiva. They are so much attached to the 'I' that they do not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again they are unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real Self.
The dualist object: - If everything else is false then the statement I am Brahman is itself’ false, the but when one says non-duality is false, there must be awareness, and consciousness, behind the very statement. You will also go, die.
One has to rely upon that which is permanent. The formless witness of the ‘I’ alone is permanent. Anything that one says is a witnessed (waking), but there is the formless witness (consciousness) there before any statement could be made.
They mean the body by “I", but it is the formless witness which is the real 'Self’.
Theists dualists did not, or could not analyze further than ‘I’ on this point because they thought the ‘I’ without the body as ‘Self’.
WHAT IS ‘I’?
The ‘I’ disappears as deep sleep, so what is the use of being attached to it? It is impermanent and illusory.
There is really no ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. And the mind is in the form of the universe.
The universe appears as the waking or dream. The ‘I’ or mind or universe or waking or dream dies disappears as deep sleep.
One that appears as ‘I’ or the mind or universe or waking or dream is nothing but the consciousness and it disappears as deep sleep is also consciousness.
In deep sleep, it is in its formless nondual true nature. The one, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states, is also consciousness. Thus, the witness and the witnessed are one, in essence.
Thus, the universe is a reality on the base of the ego. You are the ego. The ego is the false ‘Self’ within the false experience (waking).
The universe is unreal on the base of the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The seeker gradually will grasp and realize the unreal nature of the universe (‘I’ or mind).
Individuality is illusory because the ‘Self’ is not an individual because the Self is formless and it pervades everything and everywhere in all three states.
Dualist sages have written big volumes about the soul. Yet they are quite ignorant that the ‘I’ about which they write itself’ comes and goes and has no permanent existence, is only an idea after all.
What is it that appears as the ‘I’ and disappears as the ‘I-less? It is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Do not make the mistake of holding the ‘I’ as the Self because it is not permanent. ‘I’ disappears and becomes ‘I’-less- Soul.
‘I’ is an illusion and the ‘I-LESS-Soul’ is real and eternal. The ‘I-LESS-Soul ‘appears as ‘I’ and ‘I ’‘disappears as I-LESS-Soul.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the 'I'.
People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that the 'Self is not ‘I’, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the Soul, the Self, which is eternal.
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. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
