Superimposition means mistaking one thing for another. The dualistic illusion (universe) is the Superimposed over the nondualistic reality.+

Realize the universe is one with the Soul, the Self because the universe is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion created out of consciousness.  Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal.

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.   Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The pursuit of truth is a mental journey.  The destination is the Soul, the Self.  A Gnani will show the runway to reality. A Gnani will not teach but awaken the seeking world.  Advaitic wisdom is direct tool to realize God in truth. 

The universe, which is the dualistic illusion is superimposed in the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Remember:~ 

Superimposition means mistaking one thing for another. The dualistic illusion (universe) is the Superimposed over the nondualistic reality. The universe is superimposed over the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘I’ is superimposed over the Soul, the Self. (infinite) and we limit the ‘I’ to an individual whereas the ‘I’ is the whole universe. The universe is the dualistic illusion.  

Until we limit the ‘I’ to an individual we will never be able to realize the Self’ hidden by the ‘I’. This ‘I’ itself is ignorance and ‘I’ itself is the dualistic illusion. 

Without ignorance, the universe will never prevail as reality.  The relation between the universe and the Soul, the Self is non-existent in reality.  

The relation is false since there cannot be any real relation between the Soul, the Self, and the universe because the universe is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

The purpose of acquiring Self-knowledge is to remove the ignorance and once it is removed, the Soul, the Self will reveal on its accord. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the only reality.

 The dream world is superimposed on the Soul, the Self. Similarly, the waking world is also is superimposed on the Soul. In deep sleep, there is neither the superimposition neither of the dream world nor of the waking world.

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.

The wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

When you realize the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Let Advaitic wisdom annihilate ignorance (I) and reveal Soul, the Self the God in truth.  Let your ears become deaf to the untruth propagated by the religion as a reality; enable you to realize the truth hidden by the ignorance (I).  Let your eyes become blind to illusion to receive the Soul as the Self as it is in the midst of the dualistic illusion. 

Remember: ~ 

Sage Sankara said: ~ Just as the snake is superimposed on the rope, this world and this body are superimposed on Brahman or the Soul, the Self. If one gets knowledge of the rope, the illusion of the snake will vanish. Even so, if he gets knowledge of Brahman, the illusion of the body and the world will vanish.

The snake is only an idea: it disappears on inquiry but deeper Self-search reveals the fact that the rope is also an idea and its reality will be exposed when wisdom dawns. There is neither snake nor the rope in reality because from the ultimate standpoint the duality is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self. 

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.  Consciousness is the root element of the universe. 

From consciousness, the universe comes into existence. In consciousness, the universe resides. And into consciousness, the universe is dissolved.  Consciousness is the parent of all that is there is.  Consciousness is the only reality, and the universe too but an illusory manifestation. 

The Veda serves only at the starting point. What one has to learn from Veda must be understood through the exercise of reason, as far as reason might go. And what one has understood must be realized in one’s life. 

It is not that one should pore over the ancient scriptures.  There is no need to study first then realize. One has to realize first then only he will know ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘what is untruth?’. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
