Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal.+

Advaita is the treasure hidden by the Dvaita. Advaita is the Soul, the Self, and the Dvaita is the ‘I’. Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Dvaita is present in the form of the universe.

Sage Sankara says:~ A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.

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, then consciousness still remains without illusory form, time, and space.

Remember

Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal.

Sage Sankara said ~ “Atman is Brahman ~ “That is the Soul is the ultimate reality.

Sage Sankara said ~ “The world is an illusion ~ that is the world in which you exist is an illusion.

Mentally hold on to the real and discard the unreal by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate reality. Whatever existed as the illusion is nothing but consciousness?

Remember this, the ‘Self’ not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the ‘Self is not you then the world in which you exist is nothing to do with the Self. The world in which you exist is a reality till you hold the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’.

On the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is an illusion.

You have to mentally discard the ‘I’, which is an illusion.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

To acquire Advaitic Gnana: ~

The seeker must First:- Realize the truth ~ that the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the only reality and the world in which he exists is an illusion.

Second:- Soulcentric reasoning upon from all points of view.

Third:- Giving up all further argumentation based on the ‘I’ and realizing the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’.

This realization comes from being certain that the Soul alone is real and the ‘I’ is unreal.

Stick to the truth.

If one wants to acquire Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana or ‘Self’- Knowledge or knowledge of consciousness, one has to drop all ritualistic and orthodox baggage to move forward in their pursuit of truth.

We have to grow from the inside out. None can teach us, none can make us spiritual. There is no other guru but the Soul the Self.”

Self-knowledge or Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana cannot be attained by one who is without strength or earnestness or without the receptiveness and courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth. If a serious seeker strives sincerely by means of inquiry, analysis, and soul-centric reasoning, he will be able to realize it.

It is only seekers sincerity and earnestness in his spiritual pursuit, the knowledge started revealing on its own. Anyone who has humility and patience and is sincere and ready to drop their accumulated dross and receptive to accept the truth will enter non-dualistic Self-Awareness when his conviction becomes firm. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
