Until ignorance is there, he will remain experiencing illusion as reality
To overcome the ignorance one has to inquire, analyze and reason on the true base. Until one believes in karma theory, he will remain in ignorance. Until ignorance is there, he will remain experiencing illusion as reality. Until illusion is there, he will remain ignorant of the fact that, the cycle birth, life and death are mere mirage. Therefore, it is not possible for one to accept the fact that, world is illusion, unless and until he becomes aware of the fact that the physical body [ego] is not the self, but the soul, which is in the form of consciousness is the true self. Therefore, for those who believe the body as self, and refuse to accept the soul/Ataman as true self, find the law of karma as universal law and very sacred, because they have accepted their birth, life and death as reality without verifying the validity of their accepted truth.
Thus instead of indulging in the scriptural path, it is better to path of reason , which helps the seeker to enter the inner realm. And as his inquiry matures, he will be able to realize the fact that, the karma was reality only on the false base, within the false experience, the formless witness of the false experience [waking/dream] is consciousness and consciousness is the true self. And he will be able to understand the real meaning of the illusion.
