Upanishad: ~Fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit wander like blind men led by the blind.+

Unless one drops all his garbage accumulated knowledge it is impossible to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion.

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like injecting medicine into a corps

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 the illusory form, time, and space.

The truth is not custom made stuff to please a different mindset.

What is the use of arguing on the base of the birth entity, which is not the Self?

What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the Self is unborn eternal?

What is the use of thinking of heaven and hell when the ‘Self ‘is not an individual and it is never born and it never dies?

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought

Intellectual discussion is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth because intellectual knowledge is egocentric knowledge, which is limited to the domain of the form, time, and space.

Remember:~

Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)

Sage Sankara says the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani).

First, know ‘what is the truth’ and ‘what is untruth’ for sure. Without realizing what untruth truth is, it is difficult to know what truth is.

Without breaking away from religion and ancient traditions it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Religion and tradition will keep one locked in ignorance.

Sage Sankara: - “The world, filled with attachments and aversions, and the rest, is like a dream: it appears to be real as long as one is ignorant, but becomes unreal when one is awake.

Sage Sankara:~ “As fire is the direct cause of cooking, so knowledge, and not any other form of discipline, is the direct cause of Liberation; for Liberation cannot be attained without Knowledge." (Self-Knowledge)

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (8) - Fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit and puffed up with vain scholarship, wander about, being afflicted by many ills, like blind men led by the blind.

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (9) - Children, immersed in ignorance in various ways, flatter themselves, saying: We have accomplished life's purpose. Because these performers of karma do not know the Truth owing to their attachment, they fall from heaven, misery-stricken, when the fruit of their work is exhausted.

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10) - Ignorant fools, regarding sacrifices and humanitarian works as the highest, do not know any higher good. Having enjoyed their reward on the heights of heaven, gained by good works, they enter again this world or a lower one.

Most of the intellectuals indulge in provocation and unnecessary argument holding their egocentric knowledge as a yardstick. Such an attitude leads to perversity.

The ultimate truth or Brahman is not some custom-made stuff to please a different mindset. The serious seeker will never indulge in asking perverted questions.

The seeker must have enough patience, humility, and an intense urge to realize the truth. Arguments and provocation will not yield truth.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what ‘leads to the realization of Nondualistic or Advaitic truth.

As the seeker's understanding of ‘what is what ‘grows, gradually the seeker gets a glimpse of truth. Whatever is based on the waking entity is falsehood and whatever is based on the formless Soul, the innermost Self is real and eternal.

Thus it is necessary for the seeker of truth to make sure the waking entity (ego) is not the Self but the Self is the  Soul in order to acquire Self-knowledge. ~ Santthosh Kumaar

People talk of the love, and humanity in Atmic discussion, which is not the subject matter of the Atmic Satsanga.+

People talk of love, and humanity in Atmic discussion, which is not the subject matter of the Atmic Satsanga.

The individual life, love, and humanity are nothing to do with the pursuit of truth because the ‘Soul’, the ‘Self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The people who are in the path of love and thinks love is the means and go out dancing and have fun. Love is an essential and very valuable tool in practical life within the practical world, but From the ultimate standpoint, the practical life within the practical world itself is an illusion.

There is no need to renounce practical life within the practical world, one can love the whole humanity and have fun and dance, like anyone else. But whoever has an inner urge to know the reality of his true existence can follow the path of love for the practical purpose without disturbing his practical life and he can continue in his pursuit of truth, which his very personal journey.

The path of love is the path of individuality. The individuality is nothing to do with the ‘Self’, which is not an individual because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. 

Remember:~

When you start thinking independently then the inner revelation will start clearing all the obstacles which were blocking your realization. Deeper thinking and reasoning are very much needed in pursuit of truth.

No guru or yogi teaches what I share with fellow seekers because they preach the cocktail of different ideologies, theories, religions, and philosophies.

The ultimate truth is very simple. It is very difficult to realize because it is lost in the dualistic knowledge we inherited, collected from different sources, different masters’ different gurus, different philosophies, different ideologies, different books, and scriptures.

All this accumulated knowledge is a mere hill of mental garbage.

Nothing is needed other than realizing the knowledge of the single stuff. The single stuff is the cause of the world in which we exist. And that single stuff itself is causeless. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul is the Self. Knowledge of the Soul, the Self, is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Atma Gnana is knowledge of God. Realizing God in this very life is your goal. God-realization itself is real worship.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Only an intense urge to know the truth, humility sincerity, and patience are the only qualifications to realize God in this very life and in this very world.

All your religious-based accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. Be more rational in your thinking. Your religious conditioning will not allow you to cross the domain of the ‘I’.

Till you hold all the religious ideas the Soul will remain in the cage of ignorance.

Drop your entire accumulated knowledge drop all the physical Gurus, the Soul the inner Guru, is waiting for you to take the first step for you to realize there are no more steps.

You will realize, you along with your body and your experience of the world are nothing but consciousness. Thus, you will realize the God (Soul) is the fullness of consciousness.

Everything is God nothing but God. Do not waste time attending sermons and Satsang. Real Satsanga is reflecting on Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

All my writings are an inner revelation to show the truth hidden under the garbage of religion and theories, beliefs, and ideology.

There is no need to condemn religion, and theories, beliefs, and ideology, but the seeker’s aim is to drop what is not the truth and accept only the truth beyond the form, time, and space.

Whatever belongs to form, time and space is not the truth because the nature of the Soul is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

You may find it difficult in the first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’.

As you raft upon which you cross the swift river to get to the other side; once you are on the other side of the shore; there is no longer any need to carry the raft. The far shore is the reality when you reach it, you can see quite clearly that there was never any river at all.

The inner Sage will guide you to get rid of ignorance.

Everyone’s inner work is on. Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

If you keep on reading my posts and blogs old as well as new repeatedly, all your doubts and confusions will vanish.+

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya. 

To acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara the seeker needs to do is:~ 

First: hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that universe is an illusion or Maya. 

Second: Soulcentic reasoning from all points of view. 

Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth that consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth. 

This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is real and the universe is unreal.

It is your sincerity and seriousness that will make you reach the ultimate end of understanding and realization.

Your devotion to the goal to realize the truth and perfection will make you acquire the Advaitic wisdom. 

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. The 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

When the Soul wakes up from the ignorance of its true nature and remains in its own awareness then it is Self-awareness.+

It is not you who is in ignorance it is the Soul, which is in ignorance of its own formless, timeless and spaceless true nature. It is not you who have to wake up to reality, but it is the Soul that has to wake up from its sleep of ignorance.

In ignorance, the Soul, the 'Self' forgets its own true nature.

In Self-awareness, the Soul wakes up from its sleep of ignorance and remains in its own awareness.

In Self-awareness, the form, time, and space become one with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

In Self-awareness, the three states become one with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

In Self-awareness, the mind (universe) merges as the consciousness.

In Self-awareness, there is conscious awareness of unity in diversity in the midst of diversity.

In Self-awareness is the fullness of the consciousness without the illusory division of the form, time, and space.

Self-awareness is the conscious Advaitic awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion

Remember:~

When the Soul wakes up from ignorance of its true nature and remains in its own awareness in the midst of duality, then it is called Self-awareness.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness pervades everywhere and in everything in the universe. The universe is present in the form of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind.

Thus, the mind which is in the form of the universe is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. On the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, The mind is a myth.

Whatever the universe (mind) contains is a myth. Thus, the experience of the birth, life, and death, the pleasure, and the pain which are happenings within the universe is a myth. Thus, judging the truth on the base of the ego (you) is erroneous because the ego is the false self (ego) within the false experience (waking).

The gross universe is merged into the mental universe in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone.

All "spiritual" planes are mental: those who regard them as different or higher will remain ignorant.

A Gnani is free from experiencing the illusion (body + universe) as a reality, he is fully aware of the fact that his body and his experience of the world as an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, everything in the universe is nothing but consciousness. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. :~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara was criticised for his views on Maya (illusion) without understanding him.+

Sage Sankara was criticized for his views on Maya (illusion) without understanding him.

Sage Sankara said: ~

(1) Brahman (Atman) is real

(2) The universe is unreal, and

(3) Brahman is the universe.

He did not stop at second because the third explains the other two. It signifies that the universe is real if perceived as the ‘Self’ and unreal if perceived as apart from the Self. Hence, Maya or illusion and reality are one and the same.

The realists criticize the concept of illusion without understanding it. He said:~

(1) Consciousness (Atman) is real

(2) The universe or mind is unreal

(3) Consciousness is the universe because the universe is an illusion created out of consciousness.

One need not stop at second because the third explains the other two. It signifies that the universe is real if perceived as the Self (Atman or consciousness) and unreal if perceived as apart from the Self (consciousness). Hence, illusion and reality are one and the same because both are one in essence.

Realizing the essence, which is consciousness as the innermost Self, is Self-Realization or Truth-Realization of GOD- Realization. Thus, Sage Sankara‘s declaration is the rational truth, scientific truth, and also the ultimate truth.

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

In Self-awareness-- the witness and witnessed are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

Thus, whatever seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person is a reality within the waking experience (duality) but waking experience (duality) itself is merely an illusion.

The Soul which is present in the form of consciousness is the innermost Self. The Soul is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

What is not consciousness (formless) in the three states because the three states are created out of consciousness? The three states cease to exist without consciousness. The seeker, seeking and his destination all are one in essence.

There is only a need to realize the whole universe in which we exist is created out of the Soul or the consciousness.

On the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion or Maya. Thus on the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Brahman is God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

There is no need to search for the truth. Sage Sankara already declared ‘what is truth and what is untruth 1200 years back.+

 

Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal.

Remember this:~

You are born, live, and die in this world in which you exist. Your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is the dualistic illusion or Maya because the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Mentally hold on to the Soul drop the dualistic illusion or Maya by realizing the dualistic illusion is nothing but Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

When your conviction about the Soul becomes firm you will realize the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

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. The words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.

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

There is no need to search for the truth. Sage Sankara already declared ‘what is truth and what is untruth 1200 years back.

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 get Advaitic Gnana: ~

The seeker must First: Realize the truth ~ that the Soul, which is present in the form of the 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 our own Soul.”

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 through inquiry, analysis, and Soul-centric reasoning, he will be able to realize it.

It is only the seeker's 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-dual ‘‘Self’’-Awareness when his conviction becomes firm. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Self-awareness is the objectless awareness in the midst of the objects (waking).+

Self –awareness is objectless awareness in the midst of the objects (waking). A Gnani is consciously aware of the Soul, the Self in the midst of the world in which he exists. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

In Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though the ego is present, the body is not considered as a body even though the body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, because of wisdom everything is considered as consciousness. Thus, there is conscious oneness. That is unity in diversity.

Only in ignorance, the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, the ‘Self’, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness itself, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Advaita is the true existence hidden by the Dvaita illusory existence.+

All the teachings, philosophies, and theories on Advaita are like deadwood in the presence of Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

All the teaching, philosophies, theories of Advaita are dualistic will not yield the truth hidden by ignorance because they are egocentric wisdom.

Advaitic wisdom is neither any type of teaching nor philosophy nor theory. Advaita is the existence hidden by the Dvaita (universe or Maya). The existence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul is Advaita, the one without the second. The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. The universe is nothing but the Soul because the universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You are roaming around aimlessly to find the truth, not knowing where to find the truth you are seeking.

You are caught up in the prison of accumulated knowledge, beliefs, dogmas, superstition, and trying to search for the truth within the framework of religion and yogic path.

You are so sentimentally attached to your religious belief it is impossible to realize the truth, which is hidden under the debris of your inherited beliefs. Religion keeps the Soul in the cage of ignorance.

Scriptures mastery, the force of religious merit--none of these leads to the realization of that Ultimate Truth or Brahman.

Mundaka Upanishad: ~ So-called spiritual pundits and learned are called children because a child takes whatever it thinks as truth. The question never occurs to children “Is what I have seen or thought really the truth?" (P.334 line 9)

Scriptures are not needed in pursuit of truth. Even the Upanishads and the Advaitic Sages declare the same.

The ultimate truth has to be ascertained without the scriptures by realizing the Self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the Self is Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.

In the realm of truth, form, time, and space are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness.

Realizing the single stuff as the ultimate truth is Self-realization or truth realization. To realize this truth, there is no need for scriptures.

The ultimate truth has to be realized first then only it is possible to know what the scriptures are saying.

That is why Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ VC 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by good work, nor by learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation possible, and by no other means.

58. Loud speech consisting of a shower of words, the skill in expounding the Scriptures, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar but are no good for Liberation.

59. The study of the Scriptures is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.

60. The Scriptures consisting of many words are a dense forest that merely causes the mind to ramble. Hence, men of wisdom should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.

Advaita is the nature of the Soul. Advaita is second to none. Advaita is universal wisdom reveals on its own to all the serious and sincere seekers of truth.

The real Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is Soulcentric knowledge. The Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Soulcentric knowledge that destroys ignorance.

That is why Sage Sankara says:~ VC-65- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

In reality, there is no scope for two. Advaita means one without the second. Advaita means the Soul. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is one without the second.

Consciousness is one without the second because the world in which you exist is created out of consciousness. Thus, everything is consciousness. No second thing exists other than consciousness. The consciousness alone is real and eternal.

Advaitic truth has to be grasped mentally by realizing the form, time and space are one, in essence.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”

Mundaka Upanishad condemns rituals. The Para or Higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Supreme Being while the Apara or Lower Knowledge is that of following sacrificial rites and ceremonies. (1/2/ 1 – 6)

As you go on reading the words of wisdom it will start growing. It takes time for the egocentric subconscious to accept the Soulcentric truth.

Advaitic Truth is very simple but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. There is no need to search for the truth because, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth.

Only when the conviction of the Soul becomes firm then only you will be able to accept the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

Thus you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness. They cease to exist without consciousness. You have to think and reason deeply.

Thus you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but the consciousness. They cease to exist with their consciousness. You have to think and reason deeply.

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. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what,’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is truth?” and ‘What is the untruth? Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Advaitic self-awareness.

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.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. You have to think and reason deeply in order to unfold the mystery hidden by the ‘I’.

Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.

Even you may find it difficult in the first as you go on reading the post his subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

It is your intense urge, patience, and humility that will take you to the ultimate goal. Your patience and humility will help you to reach what you are seeking.

Remember this:~

Sage Sankara says: ~There is no need to study the Scriptures, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~ then why you indulge in studying the scriptures.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to study philosophy, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~then why you indulge in studying philosophy.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to indulge rituals, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Sage Sankara says :~ The transparent Truth of the ‘Self’, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation.

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 human thought.
