Awareness of ones self is knowledge and the lack of it, ignorance. Exploring the nature of the Self and thereby gaining knowledge is liberating. We do not have a sense of bondage when we sleep. A similar freedom from bondage is possible to one who has realized the eternal Self.
With the knowledge of the Self as a conscious awareness and not as a philosophical speculation ,one is able to experience the strong thread of connectivity that runs through the entire universe cutting across variety of creation - the universe making a strong statement celebrating differences amidst its oneness.
The truth is each one of us is in the midst of the universe and also inseparable from it: yet we are unable to feel connected to it because of the ignorance about the true nature of one’s Self. As long as we are conscious of the Self as an individual we are unable to feel connected.
The infinite range and variety in creation is a constant enigma waiting to be explored. The greatness of the ‘power’ or the person responsible for the laws and functioning of the universe is to be admired.
