Intellectual discussion is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth because intellectual knowledge is egocentric knowledge, which is limited to the domain of form, time, and space.
Unless one drops all his garbage accumulated knowledge it is impossible to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by ignorance.
The seeker has to think deeply instead of passing the opinion on his own point of view and he has to drop the judgmental attitude, which blocks the realization of the truth, which is hidden by ignorance.
Human Goal is to realize God in truth. God in truth is hidden by ignorance. Intense urge seeks to realize God in truth is inherent in every seeker.
Advaitic wisdom Sage Sankara does not arise without getting rid of ignorance. The veil of ignorance covers the Soul, the Self. The illusory universe covers the Soul, the Self.
The path of wisdom is divided into three parts:~
First:- Hearing the truth--that the consciousness is the only reality and that the universe along with you merely an illusion or Maya.
Second:- Reasoning upon these words of wisdom of Sage Sankara from all points of view.
Third:- Giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Remember:~
If you keep on reading my posts and blogs old as well as new, all your doubts and confusion will vanish.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The body, the ego, and the world together are the mind. If the mind is there then only the body, the ego, and the world are present. The body, the ego, and the world appear together and disappear together. That is the mind that is present in the form of the ‘I’ that appears and disappears. The one which witnesses the coming and going, of the ‘I’ (mind), is the Soul, the Self. On the standpoint of the Soul, the Self the mind (the universe in which we exist) is non-existent as a reality.
The mind cannot be purified because the mind itself is an illusion. Till one thinks the mind is within the body, he will not be able to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, because the body and the world are within the mind. And the mind is within the Soul.
Ignorance is the cause of duality. The duality is the cause of the illusion (Maya). The illusion is the cause of experiencing birth, life, death, and the world as a reality.
Self-knowledge leads to Self-awareness. The quest for truth is not the quest for acquiring the dualistic truth within the world. The seeker must have an intense urge to realize the truth which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The dualistic knowledge hides the truth beyond the form, time, and space. The practical life within the practical world is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.
The dualistic knowledge within the dualistic illusion is not Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
This vast cosmos with all its contents (atom, molecule, sun, moon, planet, and star) all are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The Soul is the Self. the Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Awareness is the nature of the Soul or consciousness. Consciousness is existence itself.
Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
