The sanyasa is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and sanyasa is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.
No one becomes a Gnani by taking sanyasa or wearing religious robes or by mastering the scriptures or by identifying with the religious symbol. Religious robes and religious symbols are not the means to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
As per the scriptures, the three "Ashrams" or stages in life were originally intended for three grades of intelligence thus:-
Religion:- low intellects had to do 'karmas' works, ritual actions, chanting of mantras and indulging in bhajans and prayers, etc.
Yoga:- Middle intellects: Taking yellow robes, going to caves, ashrams, etc.
Advaitic wisdom:- High intellects: who wanted the truth is concerned with no external rites no prayers or sanyasa but depend solely on the Soulcentric reasoning for their path.
Thus, the seeker has to choose his path according to his choice. Without an intense urge to know the truth and sharpness to grasp the truth, it is difficult to tread the path of wisdom. Never mix different paths with each other and make cocktails because it leads to all sorts of doubts and confusion.
The seeker of truth should be aware of everything that is untrue: stick to the truth and he shall succeed, maybe slowly, but surely.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation.
Remember:~
What is the use of giving up something within the unreal world when Sage Sankara declares the world is unreal and Brahman alone is real?
Sanyasa is nothing to do with ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. When the Self is not you then what is the use of taking sanyasa. You are the false Self (waking entity) within the false experience (waking).
Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience itself is merely an illusion. Suppose if you had asked the same question in the dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. The wisdom dawns when the waking entity (you) realizes it itself is not the Self.
There is no need to take sanyasa and renounce worldly life in order to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. All the guru propagated knowledge is not Gnana. All guru propagated knowledge is meant for the ignorant populace.
If you are stuck up with religion and yoga you are unfit to tread the Atmic path.
If you are seeking the truth of your true existence then you must set yourself free of religious background and cultures, of all accumulated Knowledge should be discarded.
The seeker has to have the courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth because most people will not be able to subscribe to the path of truth, because, they sentimentally and emotionally involved with their inherited belief system, and even if one does he has to overcome all his doubts, confusion, and despair. These are problems for the seekers who are from a religious background because of their conditioning and they are made to accept their blind belief as truth and their interest or insight is not deep.
Thus, all my blogs are useful in analyzing these problems because they highlight what is not the truth according to their own religious scriptures and make them accept the truth and reject all the false conditioning and move ahead in the pursuit of truth.:~Santthosh Kumaar
