Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is not found in one book. Even without the books, we can get the truth.


There is no need to read books or here sermons to realize the truth which is hidden by the illusory universe or Maya. 

Sage Sankara says:~ The study of the scriptures is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is not found in one book. 
Even without the books, we can get the truth.

Some people think they have read Ashtavakra Gita and mastered the knowledge. Ashtavakra Gita was misinterpreted based on the dualistic perspective by many people and published in the past.

It is for the seeker to do his own homework to know where is the fault by using his own reason

Ashtavakra Gita or any other books are not final authority because it has been misinterpreted by different authors based on their egocentric outlook. The Soulcentric knowledge cannot be grasped on the dualistic understanding.

Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal.

The study of Upanishad was neither indispensable nor a necessary prerequisite for attaining the human goal, the moksha.

All that one was required to do was to get rid of ignorance.

There is no need to read books after books. You need to realize only the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of that single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Advaitic Gnana.

No books can do more than help us to find it, and even without them, we can get all truth if you search for the truth which is hidden by the world in which we exist.

You have the love for books without bondage to them; and read the books, but do not believe blindly because it well written with the ornamental world, but think for yourself.

Ashtavakra: ~ “My child you may speak upon various scriptures or hear the sermons on the scriptures. But you cannot establish in the ‘Self’ unless you forget all. 16-1 – p49

Lecture consisting of a shower of ornamental words, the skill in expounding the accumulated bookish knowledge, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar, but it is not Gnana or wisdom.

The accumulated scriptural and bookish knowledge is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known. Hence men of wisdom should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.

To get rid of ignorance, the only remedy is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana. There is no need to study the scriptures in order to get rid of ignorance. The scriptures themselves declare this valuable truth.

Without direct realization, one cannot be liberated from experiencing the dualistic illusion as reality.

Remember:~

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified. (From 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda)

Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not based on any teaching or teacher. The Pursuit of truth is the pursuit of verification not the pursuit of argument. Intellectual discussion is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth.

That which is unreal, that is duality, cannot contradict the truth of non-duality. It cannot be counted as an adversary of non-duality. The illusion cannot, 'oppose' the substratum, reality. It can at best lead to the mistaking of the substratum. Perfect understanding is the only way to overcome ignorance. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

There is no need to follow anyone. Self-realization becomes easy if you independently walk your path.+

One need not renounce worldly life and become a sanyasi or monk. One need not retire from his business or corporate job and become a Guru al...
