Soul is not God

Totapuri was an Advaita philosopher and gave a long speech to Shri Rama Krishna Paramahamsa regarding the unreality of the world. He got terrible stomach pain and his self-attainment was not firm for a long time. Unable to withstand the pain, he tried to kill himself but even the suicide failed. Then he realized that his soul is controlled by God’s power and is not the ultimate controller. Then the pain disappeared immediately.

There is no way you could really see the truth and not be giggling in some way for the rest of your life. There is no way that you couldn’t just love this world to death, even though you know it’s not half as real as you thought it was. There is no way you could not love people a hundred times more, even though you know that they’re not what you thought they were. But I don’t want to speak too much about that because the mind starts to think it’s being handed candy when it’s not. It’s being handed a sword.
