All accumulated knowledge is mental Garbage is of no use in the quest for truth.+

The Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is  Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul witnesses the coming and going of the three states.

The seeker has to get a firm conviction that, the Self is not the ‘I’ because the ‘I’ itself is an illusion. The Soul is the innermost self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

All accumulated knowledge is mental Garbage is of no use in the quest for truth. The seeker has to discard all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ through deeper thinking and reasoning helps to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Truth is very simple but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.

People need reading and hearing the words to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.

The truth-seeker seeks only the truth. The inner Sage will guide you. Your sincerity and seriousness lead you to your inner core. The sincere and serious seekers are not excluded.

All the chosen ones will get freedom from experiencing the illusion (duality) as a reality. All the seekers of truth are chosen ones.

Katha Upanishads: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals its own form. (II -23-P-20)

All the chosen ones will get freedom from experiencing the illusion (duality) as a reality. All the seekers of truth are chosen ones.

Millions are searching for truth, but one in million will realize it. If you are the truth seeker then you are, one from that million.

Consciousness is the formless substance and the witness of the three states. The Soul, which is present in the form of Consciousness is without change, without any form, without any blemish, and without any decay, without the disease, beyond all comprehension, beyond any change and consciousness is all-pervading. 

Remember:~

All your accumulated knowledge is based on the dualistic perspective. The truth of our true existence is based on the nondualistic perspective.

The dualistic knowledge is egocentric whereas the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Soulcentric.

Dualistic knowledge is knowledge based on ignorance. Dualistic knowledge hides the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the knowledge of the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

To realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space all the accumulated dualistic knowledge has to be dropped.

All the accumulated knowledge gathered from the Gurus, are dualistic knowledge. Even the Advaita propagated by the Gurus of the east and west are based on the dualistic perspective.

When the ultimate truth is rightly known and one attains eternal life thereby. Through Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ he gains strength and through its knowledge immortality.

Not by intellectual speculation, but only by an awakening to the reality of his true existence, he gets the Soul-centric vision. The Soul, the ‘Self’s nature is like the state of deep sleep. ‘Self’-awareness is objectless awareness in the midst of the objects.

Religion, yoga, and intellectualism are not the means to acquire ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Without getting rid of ignorance and trying to get ‘Self’-awareness through religion and yoga is like a sleeping man trying to know what he is about, without waking up. As sleep is to the waking, so is ordinary life to the state of realization.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ You see, no one can teach anybody. The teacher spoils everything by thinking that he is teaching. Thus, Vedanta says that within man is all knowledge? Even in a boy, it is so? And it requires only an awakening, and that much is the work of a teacher. We have to do only so much for the boys that they may learn to apply their own intellect to the proper use of their hands, legs, ears, eyes, etc., and finally, everything will become easy.

Tripura Rahasya: ~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self-gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that. Realize yourself, turning the mind inward. (18: 89).:~ Santthosh Kumaar
