The Most Primary And Universal Confusion Is Between The I And The This

 - And as such confusion is responsible for all the ills of life, it has to be tackled by all who earnestly seek to get rid of those ills.

- Our experience comes to us ordinarily in three distinct conditions of life, namely 1) in the waking state when we are conscious of our body and of the world around us

- and when our mind and senses are in active contact with that world, 2) In the dream state when consciousness of this body is lost 

- but another body is created for the moment endowed with a mind and senses of the same build to have the experience of another world equally created for the moment and

- 3) In the state of deep sleep when the body, mind and the senses, physical and dream created, do not exist and yet there is an experience of dull happiness

- unrelated to any of these but recalled distinctly after waking up. These three states of experience are taken up in this order for analysis

- "In the waking state, Sound, Touch, etc are objects of experience and are distinct from one another as there is variedness in them,

- The entity that is conscious of them is distinct from them and, as it is of the same nature (in all the varied experiences), it does not vary"
