Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, in something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress.
Unless you drop all eastern and western Advaitic Gurus and their ‘I-centric teachings you will not be able to acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sri Sankara who is the founder of the Advaitic wisdom.
Being means a thing is. How do you know this world exists? How do you know that you exist in this world? It is the Self, the witness that gives you the idea of being in the world. Apart from the Soul, the 'Self', you never realize that there is such a thing as being.
The first step is to distinguish between the real and the unreal. That is to know about the dual and nondual experience. The seeker has to discriminate between real and unreal. It means separating the subject from the object through deeper analysis.
The real is the subject and the unreal is an object. The Advaitic Gurus of the east and west cannot think of the subject because they are unaware of the fact that the subject is hidden by the object. Unless you drop
Without the subject, there is no object. The subject can stay without the object whereas the object is fully dependent on the subject for its existence because the object is nothing but an illusion created out of the subject.
The subject contained in the object. The consciousness cannot apart from the object because the object is merely an illusion. Thus, the objective illusion has no value because it is non-existent without consciousness.
The dualists regard objects as a reality because they are ignorant have no idea of a subject and hence never seek for it. On the Advaitic perspective, the object is also regarded as the subject because the object is nothing but an illusion created out of the subject.
The ice will not form without the water, the cloud will not form without the water, similarly, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist without consciousness.
The world, in which you exist, is created out of single stuff. The Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The world in which we exist is an object to the Soul, which is the formless subject. The object is created out of the subject. In reality, the subject and object are one, in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, the world in which we exist is nothing but the consciousness, which is the subject.
Thus, the subject alone is real and eternal, the world in which we exist is merely an illusion.
From the Standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, there is neither the object nor the subject, there is unity in diversity. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
