The birthless and deathless Self (Atman) slept, and in his dream, he had a dream. What was the nature of this dream?
The appearance of the world was a dream, and he imagined that he had become a person in this dream (Jiva). The Illusion just grew stronger after that. This worldly existence appears to be genuine, yet it is really a dream.
God took on the role of a servant. The dream is to imagine all individuals as real, including mother, father, brother, and others, as well as the entire globe.
This dream is enthralling all living things on the planet.
It is extremely unusual and crucial for one of them to think very far ahead. It's an uncommon thing to have faith in a Saint. Such an aspirant is unselfish in his or her actions.
An egotistical person would never throw a piece of bread to a dog. After doing a selfless altruistic act, the sensation of selflessness, or pure intellect, is common.
Respect for the Saints is a wonderful thing.
The fruit of our predecessors' blessings, the Saints who came before us, is magnificent. During this dream existence, discrimination (Viveka) between the Essence and the non-essential is uncommon. Wealth, like wine, is an intoxication. Because of the virtues of the previous incarnation, one is drawn to the Guru and is curious about him.
This is a person who understands how to use prejudice to his or her advantage. Such a person approaches the Guru and considers what is necessary and what isn't, eventually realizing that "I Am Brahman."
Only then can one comprehend that the world is an illusion and awaken from one's sleep. He realizes that the entire world is an illusion and that "The Supreme Self (Paramatman) is the sole Truth" after experiencing the pure Essence of the Teaching.
Then, as "Truth, Consciousness, and Bliss (SatChitAnanda) Incarnate," one becomes One with Brahman.
Who is this "I" who has gained experience when you understand the meaning and think about it and declare, "Now, I have the experience, and now, I am awake?"
When you declare you've had an experience, the ego, or "I Am," comes into play (Aham).
There is nothing that says "I" or "You." You claim to know, yet that is only vanity. In Illusion, it is delusion. For example, you may believe that "he" or "you" are the same old being known as Mr. Smith, yet "Mr. Smith" has now evolved into Brahman.
Your delusion has not yet evaporated if you conclude that the previous Mr. Smith was simply an illusion and that "non-entity" has now become Reality. The Reality as it is is what is inherently your Being.
Even in its most modest form, there is no "I" there. "I" is not gone as long as there is even the tiniest sense of needing to safeguard one's body.
There should be a genuine sense, a real experience, that the entire cosmos is contained inside you.
"All is He, and I Am He," this is the realization.
The silk worm constructs its own home, a cocoon, in which it dies.
You're tying yourself up in the same way. You think of yourself as a physical body.
This is a form of enslavement in and of itself. Like a silk worm's cocoon, you've transformed yourself. The cocoon is soaked in lukewarm water, the worm is killed, and the silk is extracted.
You are inherently Brahman if you hold on to the sensation that the entire cosmos, including the Wind and Space it is enclosed in, is your body. There is only one Brahman, and he is the only one. Brahman is someone who understands that there is nothing other.
The one who has fully discovered Brahman is the one whose desire for sense objects has vanished, whose concept of "I" as separate from everything else has vanished, and whose pride has vanished.
