Controlling the senses and desire is a religious and yogic fable. By controlling the senses and by destroying the desire ignorance will not vanish.
Freedom from the illusory bondage of form, time, and space arises only when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul.
Until you hold the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’ you will remain in ignorance. ‘I’ based t gurus and their teaching blocks you from the realization of truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The ‘I’ itself is the cause of ignorance. The ‘I’ oriented teachings keep one intoxicated to the dualistic illusion.
Those who are stuck up with the Gurus will never be able to cross the threshold of the dualistic illusion.
Be an independent seeker. Think reason and deeply reflect constantly, the truth will start revealing on its own.
People hold every guru and their teaching as sacred and worship them to get self-realization. Such worship will lead to hallucinations.
Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)
Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Among thousands of men, scarcely one strives for perfection; and of those who strive and succeed, scarcely one knows the ‘Self’ in truth.
The path of wisdom attracts only those who are in search of truth and they appreciate it greatly. The ignorant are not spiritually matured the receive Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The ignorant indulge in argument and provocation and personal attack, which hinders their own realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman.
That is why Jesus said: ~ “Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)
~ He meant knowledge of the Spirit or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Bhagavad Gita says ~ “Don't unsettle the minds of ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth." :~ Santthosh Kumaar
