Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara helps to mentally transcend dualistic illusion (universe ) into non-dualistic reality (Soul).
Sage Sankara is the only Sage who unfolded the mystery of the universe and also unfolded the mystery of God in truth.
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.
When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of Consciousness.
Sage Sankara says:~VC-47- All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, is burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.
Remember: ~
All is Consciousness. The whole universe is Consciousness. From Consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, Consciousness still remains without form, time, and space
Sage Sankara’s wisdom reveals: ~ Atman is the only one ultimate reality or Brahman. Brahman is God in truth.
Advaita means the Soul, the innermost Self, which is second to none. The Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. Advaita is the nature of God, the Self. Advaita is God. Advaita is the fullness of the Consciousness.
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Sage Sankara’s wisdom is very much in the tune with the essence of Vedas and Upanishad.
The Soul, the Self, is the presence in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to study the Scriptures, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman
~ then why you indulge in studying the scriptures.
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to study philosophy, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman
~then why you indulge in studying philosophy.
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to indulge rituals, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman
~then why you indulge in rituals.
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to indulge in yoga, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman
~then why you indulge in yoga.
Sage Sankara says the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)
~ then why you are sticking to a Guru who is not a Gnani.
Sage Sankara says ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads truth realization.
Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the Self is non-dual because there is no second thing that exists other than the Atman. Atman is present in the form of Consciousness. The consciousness is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and space is merely an illusion. :~
