Adyatma is nothing to do with religious sect or creed and religious belief. Adyatma is pure spirituality. Knowledge of Atma is Adyatma. Advaita is Adyatma.
Adyatma is the knowledge of the truth beyond the form, time, and space. Bifurcate religion, yoga, and theoretical philosophy and based the truth on the Athma it is Adyatma.
Adyatma is based on the ultimate truth which is based on the Atma or Spirit, which is the Self. Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality or Adyathma.
Remember:~
When one goes into the annals of history it looks like the true Advaita expounded by Sage Sankara and Sage Goudapada was lost or mutilated by the orthodoxy because the preaching and practice do not match.
There is only oneness in reality. There is no scope for duality in Advaitic reality.
The seeker must do his homework, and verify the validity of all the claims, rather than blindly believe, what others expound as knowledge, till; the un-contradicted truth is obtained. Religious beliefs are considered to be barriers to realization.
The seeker must have the courage of Bhagavan Buddha to accept the truth and reject the untruth. Since Bhagavan Buddha rejected religion, the idea of God and scriptures, therefore, it is evident that he has gone through every aspect and verified and found them to be inadequate and useless for the pursuit of truth.
Even Buddhism is mixed up with regional culture and traditions of the local religion, wherever it existed. Thus to get the full essence from Buddhism is very difficult.
The scriptures are for ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material world as it presents itself’. Wisdom is for those who have begun to realize that things are not what they seem.
The seeker after the truth should take to Soul centric reasoning and discriminate between dual and non-dual experiences to realize what the truth is and what is the untruth?.
The seeker who has an intense urge in knowing the truth and sharp in grasping, skills in understanding and assimilating without the scriptures, the one who has got these characteristics is the fit recipient of the ‘Self’- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~
