Holding the 'Self' as 'You' is a great hindrance for realizing the 'Self' hidden by the 'I'.+

Holding the 'Self' as 'You' is a great hindrance for realizing the 'Self' hidden by the 'I'.

You and your experience of the birth, life, death, and the world is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, because, you and your experience of the birth, life, death, and the world are a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya.

The Soul, the Self is hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya. The Soul, the Self is hidden by dualistic illusion or Maya, because, it is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya. The reality of dualistic illusion or Maya has no value from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self.

Mentally transcend the dualistic illusion or May into non-dualistic reality by realizing the dualistic illusion Maya is created out of the Soul or consciousness and rest in consciousness.

Remember:~

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

You are the birth, entity and you are bound by the life, death, and the world whereas the Soul is the birthless, deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

It is not you who has to get freedom but it is the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ that is seeking freedom from experiencing the birth, life, death, and universe as reality.

Only when the Soul, the 'Self’ wakes up from the sleep of ignorance the freedom happens. For this, it has to drop the inborn samskara or conditioning, which is present in the form of the ‘I’ by realizing the 'I' itself is inborn ignorance.

It is erroneous to think on the body base when the ‘Self’ is not the body. The ‘Self’ is not the body; therefore, the individual life is nothing to do with the Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul is birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

If the ignorance vanishes then the 'Self' shines as the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.+

You and your positive and negative thoughts, feelings, words, and actions, and the world in which you exist belong to the dualistic illusion or Maya.

The dualistic illusion is experienced as reality due to the ignorance of the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion hides the Self. If the ignorance vanishes then the 'Self' shines as the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

The Soul is the perfect master. A Gnani helps the seeker to prepare himself to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion. A Gnani helps them to mentally move from ignorance to the Advaitic reality.

A Gnani directs the ripe seeker to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya.

When a Gnani works untiringly every day with the seekers makes them realize what is the truth and what is the untruth?-This, in turn, helps the seeker to discriminate between truth and untruth and mentally drop what is not the truth.:~ Santthosh Kumaar

Conscious awareness of the consciousness in the midst of the waking state is the state of God in truth.+

Deep sleep is an awareness of the emptiness, is the state of ignorance. Conscious awareness of the consciousness in the midst of the waking state is the state of God in truth.

It is all made so complicated by the ‘I-centric; gurus and their teaching and religion and yoga have made it still more complicated.

No amount of reading and understanding can lead to Self-realization. The seeker must be realizing the Self in truth.

When the Seeker gets that conviction through a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’, then only he will be able to get Self-awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Yogi who gets absorbed in Samadhi cannot get Self-realization because his Samadhi is based on the false self (ego) within the false experience (waking).

The aim of the seeker is to realize the 'Self' hidden by ignorance. The seeker must realize the Self is not within the physical body but it is hidden by the universe. The ‘Self’ is hidden by the universe because the universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Self- realization does not arise from yogic samadhi or meditation or any other type of physical-based practice but it is possible only through perfect understanding, assimilation, and realization of what is what.:~

Santthosh Kumaar

The ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth has to be ascertained without the scriptures.+

Ashtavakra: ~ “My child you may speak upon various scriptures or hear the sermons on the scriptures. But you cannot establish in the ‘Self’ unless you forget all. 16-1 – p49

Sage Sankara restrained himself parting the Advaitic Gnana to the mass and only a selected few. It was hidden from the people who were not qualified and receptive to it.

Advaitic wisdom was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few. Thus, religion was given to the mass, and knowledge of the Spirit is given only a selected few. Thus, we find traces of the knowledge of the Spirit in religious books in the form of parables.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified. (From 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda)

Scriptures are being added from time to time. This process will go on. There is the final authority among them? One contradicts the other: duality reigns supreme.

The Upanishads are ‘Self’-contradictory. Every pundit even gives conflicting interpretations of them. The final authority, therefore, is using one’s own reason. One should apply his reason to them.

The scriptures are for the ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material world as it presents itself’. Gnana is for those who have begun to realize that things are not what they seem.

The Scriptures are of value only when dealing with persons who are incapable of understanding the truth. They have no value as authority for those who use reason.

Remember:~

I quote only the verified citation from the scriptures. I need no scriptures, but I quote then to help the seekers to realize the scriptures are saying

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

The ultimate truth is revealed in the clear understanding and realization of ‘what is truth and ‘what is the untruth. When one realizes the untruth (universe) is created out of single stuff, Self-awareness rises in the midst of duality exposing the unreal nature of the form, time, and space.

Ashtavakra:~There is no wisdom whatsoever in the scriptures-just a collection of words.

The seeker should not bother about finding the meaning of what is written in the scriptures. Scriptures are not needed in pursuit of truth. Even the Upanishads and the Sages of truth saying the same. The ultimate truth has to be realized first then only it is possible to know what the scriptures are saying.

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. 

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

Remember:~

In the realm of the truth, the 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.

Scriptures are being added from time to time. This process will go on. There is the final authority among them? One contradicts the other: duality reigns supreme.

I quote Scriptural citation only after verification reality and proved the truth, to point out that the scriptures teach the same thing. If one quotes them before having demonstrated truth, then it is scholasticism.

Self-knowledge cannot be attained by the study of the scriptures and intellectual understanding or by bookish knowledge. Therefore, there is no use for studying the scriptures and other scriptures in order to acquire the nondual wisdom. That is why Buddha rejected the scriptures, and even Sage Sankara indicated that the ultimate truth lies beyond religion, the concept of God and scriptures.

There is only one Reality to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by the religion. Self-discovery is the only way, towards non-dual Absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusion in which we all are searching for the truth of our true existence.

That is why Sage Sankara declare: ~ 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.

61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

62. A disease does not leave off if one simply utters the name of the medicine, without taking it; (similarly) without direct realization one cannot be liberated by the mere utterance of the word Brahman.

63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

64. Without killing one’s enemies, and possessing oneself of the splendor of the entire surrounding region, one cannot claim to be an emperor by merely saying, ‘I am an emperor’.

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.

66. Therefore the wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and deaths.

Then there is no need for the scriptures, religion, and idea of God. One has to be more rational to realize the Advaitic truth, which is the ultimate truth or scientific truth. : ~

Santthosh Kumaar

The seeker of truth should not start with the idea of God. The seeker does not know whether there is God or not.The seeker needs proof of God's existence.+

The seeker of truth should not start with the idea of God. The seeker does not know whether there is God or not. There is no proof. The seeker needs proof of God's existence.

There is need not doubt that people saw Shiva, Jesus, etc. That they saw visions may be an undeniable fact. But the question is “Was what they saw the Truth?" They no doubt had such vision but they never stopped to inquire if their visions are true.

The seeker has to take all the facts, and then proceed to examine and analyze, how far is it true?”

To talk of seeking God is as meaningless as saying "seeking dog". It is only a hollow word. one must know God in truth.

Dualist Gurus say: ~ God cannot exist without attributes. Then they are making God as an object whereas God is the subject. Attributes can only be seen in the objective world. Causality appears in the duality, but when one goes deeper into the matter even there the causality disappears.

Who else but the ‘Self’ could have imagined the objective world? Ramanuja and Madva see God as the imaginer, but where is the proof. Nobody has seen God creating. You have seen no other creator, whether God or angel. The only ‘Self’ is left. Therefore ‘Self’ is the creator because imagining means creating.

Dvaita and Religionists talk nonsense. God has meaning to you? Yes. It is an idea. What is the idea? The Idea is an imagination. So God has no proved existence beyond that of an idea.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from the Self does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Lord Krishna Says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

The Vedas confirms God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth,  Nothing is real but the Soul, which present in the form of consciousness. Nothing Matters but realize  God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

The Vedas talk about Brahman which refers to the ultimate truth or ultimate reality. The consciousness is the ultimate truth, therefore, the consciousness is Brahman and Brahman is God.

Vedas do not permit idol worship. All the idols are of the Puranic Gods, the priests are referring to the Puranic Brahma as God they are ignorant of the God in Vedas even though they speak of Vedas.

Priests do not understand the meaning of the Brahman, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman the real exists.

Remember:~

Sage Sankara proved the existence of God on the Vedic perspective and also proved the existence of God rationally.

Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman God in truth is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other beside it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described because the description implies distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It. In Brahman, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constitutes the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman, and not just Its attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal

Thus, it refers to formless and attributeless God, which is the Atman (Soul), the innermost ‘Self’ within the false experience. Thus it indicates clearly all the Gods with form and attributes are mere imagination based on the false self. Thus Atman or Soul, the ‘Self’ is God.

Sage Sankara wanted to establish the existence of the Brahman. For this purpose, He made the Atman as the Brahman. He brought out the identity of Self with the consciousness and made the Atman the Brahman. Since one will not negate the existence of his Self, he will accept the existence of the Brahman, which is the Atman or Soul the Self. Both Bhagavan Buddha and Sage Sankara kept silent about the absolute unimaginable God. The same philosophy was dealt with by them from different angles in different situations. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

It is time to educate the ignorant populace taking the dip in the river will not wash away the sins instead they pollute.+

It is time to educate the ignorant populace taking the dip in the river will not wash away the sins instead they pollute, which is the cause of concern.

When the whole universe is made of a single clay and that single clay is the Soul or consciousness then it is erroneous to consider only some rivers as holy and sacred.

The Soul, the God in truth alone is holy the universe is merely an illusion.

That is why Rig Veda says: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Sage Sankara: ~ Neither sacred baths nor any amount of charity nor even hundreds of pranayamas can give us the knowledge about our own Self. The firm realization of the nature of the Self is seen to proceed from inquiry along the lines of the salutary advice of the wise. (13)

The obsession with "our sins" having been "washed away by the water of river would be regarded as evidence of a serious mental illness in an individual within any sane society, but when this is an obsession of millions of people it becomes "religious faith", held by many others to be something that should never be criticized.

It was desperately important for the believers of their belief system for some reason that others shared their beliefs because they assume that their religious doctrine is literally true, and then justify their beliefs because "God says so in their doctrine ".

It is no use of arguing with someone who has faith in his religion because for him there can be no possible refutation of what he believes, so rational argument is entirely useless. He clings to his belief so strongly that he makes no distinction between the truth and his belief.

One has to know the fact that the religious God cannot exist without his existence. The truth depends on the Soul, the Self.

The Soul, the Self is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

Thus it is foolish to venture into knowing the truth of God's existence without verifying the facts about his own existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

There is no higher or lower consciousness. consciousness is one without the second.+

There is no higher or lower consciousness. Consciousness is one without the second. Consciousness is the cause of the world in which we exist.  

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Consciousness is everything. Before the appearance of the world in which we exist, the world was consciousness and after the disappearance of the world in which we exist, the world becomes one with consciousness. Whatever appeared and disappeared as the world, in which we exist, is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

The illusion and has no value because the illusion is also nothing but consciousness.

Only on the dualistic perspective, there is higher and lower consciousness. On the non-dualistic perspective, consciousness alone is.

Both modern science and religion offer hypotheses and theories but there is one vital difference--science begins with facts which it collects; religion begins with fancies. Science evolves its hypotheses from such facts, religion from fancies.

Science declares that oxygen combines with hydrogen to give water. And it also declares oxygen is protons or electrons. But in pursuit of truth, the whole physical existence (universe or mind) is considered as illusion, and science and their inventions, which are based on the physical existence is limited to physical existence. The truth is within but it is beyond the physical existence. The science demands physical proof. But the physical proof is part of the illusion. Hence science cannot go beyond physicality because the truth cannot be traced to laboratory conditions. Deeper Inquiry, analysis, and reasoning are required if one wants to push its quest deeply enough.

Science has begun to admit that the world of the spirit and the world of matter are not two antipodes... A leading British astronomer, Sir James Jeans, confessed that the scientific conception of the universe in the past was mistaken and that the borderline between the objective world, as it is manifested in nature, and the subjective one, as it expresses itself through the mind, hardly exists. In [a 1934 address at Cornell University], he said: “The Nature we study does not consist so much of something we perceive as of our perceptions, it is not the object ... but the relation itself. There is, in fact, no clear-cut division between the subject and object.” Twenty years earlier, such a statement would have been sheer heresy. Likewise, a search for the Ultimate Reality that we usually call "God," a search along both intellectual and unorthodox lines, need not be regarded as either heresy or sacrilege.

People are still primitive thinking fall into faulty reasoning through their inherited conditioning, such faulty thinking and reasoning make them accept the experience of birth, life and death as a reality, taking what one sees through the senses as real, taking what is apparently obvious and superficial as true because it is less troublesome.

Many people adopt the attitude that what they know is the truth. And what others say is false. This attitude makes them not to verify anything other than what they know. One needs to be rational, not merely logical. Logic has its value only in the physical plane.

As one advances towards the spiritual plane he sees the truth underlying experience and becomes more rational. His reasoning is two-fold ~ dualistic and nondualistic. He uses dualistic reason for practical purposes and nondualistic reason for the spiritual pursuit. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Upanishads are Self-contradictory.Sage Sankara pointed out; even those who were outside the Upanishad fold were as eligible to moksha.+

 

The dualistic knowledge of the ‘ Self ‘gathered from scriptures holy books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its ‘Self’ is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization of the ‘Self ‘ will reveal the truth hidden by the ‘I’.

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.

Sage Sankara’ regards personal realization as independent and convincing evidence.

Sage Sankara says that an individual’s experience cannot be disputed because the experience he went through was real to him; though that may not be real from the absolute point of view.

Sage Sankara makes a distinction between the absolute view and the relative view of things.

Sage Sankara strongly advocated the study of Upanishads and at the same time cautioned that the study of Upanishads alone would not lead to moksha. In matters of such as spiritual attainment, one’s own realization was the sole authority and it cannot be disputed

Sage Sankara also said the study of Upanishad was neither indispensable nor a necessary prerequisite for attaining the human goal, the moksha.

Sage Sankara pointed out; even those who were outside the Upanishad fold were as eligible to moksha as those within the fold were. He declared that all beings are Brahman, and therefore the question of discrimination did not arise. All that one was required to do was to get rid of ignorance (Avidya or duality).

The seeker's aim is the search for the Ultimate Truth or Brahman. The search to find the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth that in actuality never was lost, only hidden.

The Upanishads are self-contradictory. Every pundit even gives conflicting interpretations of them. The final authority, therefore, is using one’s own reason. One should apply his reason to them.

The scriptures are for ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material world as it presents itself. Gnana is for those who have begun to realize that things are not what they seem.

The scriptures are of value only when dealing with persons who are incapable of understanding the truth. They have no value as authority for those who use reason.

I quote only verified citations from the scriptures. I need no scriptures but I quote them to help the seekers to realize the religion, scriptures and the belief of God is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Upanishads are the only scriptures in the world that say: ~ It is impossible to find and realize the truth via religion and scriptural study.

That is why Sage Sankara says in Vivekachoodamani: ~ 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.

The religion is based on the birth entity whereas the Soul, the innermost “Self’ is birthless and deathless. Spirituality is based on the Soul (formless). Thus, there is a need to bifurcate the religion from spirituality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

On the Advaitic perspective, yoga is useless for realizing the truth, which is hidden by the illusory universe or Maya.+

Meher Baba:~ It is all made so complicated, and books on yoga have made it still more complicated.

On the Advaitic perspective, yoga is useless for realizing the truth, which is hidden by the illusory universe or Maya.

The yogi shuts his eyes against the world and then has the temerity to declare that he knows the world to be Brahman! Because he has not inquired into the world in which he exists, he knows nothing. Yoga cannot remove ignorance. It is only a step. It removes obstructions.

Bhagavan Buddha gave up yoga after practicing it for six years. He saw it could not yield truth.

Bhagavan Buddha gave up his austerities of yoga as impossible and useless. Thus Bhagavan Buddha got enlightenment only after he gave up Yoga. (Page.70/71 "Buddhism in Translation” by Warren)

Sage Sankara definitely says: ~ Yoga is not the means of liberation (page 132-133 of his commentary on Brihadaranyakopanishad).

In Sutra Bashya and Manduka: ~ Samadhi and sleep are identical.

Brihad Upanishad does not advocate Samadhi.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana cannot come if anything is left out. The whole universe must be included. For only when all is known can all be known to be but ideation. Hence yogis blotting all out in Samadhi cannot lead to Gnana.

The yogi holds the Self as ‘I’ his practice is based on the ‘I’ without knowing what ‘I’ is in actuality.

The yogi may get the knowledge that the Seer is separate from Seen, but he will never know Brahman without inquiring into the world, because he is giving up the world, and hence cannot discover his unity with the world.

The Gnani regards everything in the world as Brahman; the yogi rejects the world. Thus there is a fundamental difference.

The seeker of truth should not believe all the stories about the magical power of mantrams, visions, and samadhis and astral travel because they are a reality within the dualistic illusion. Wherever their duality there is no truth.

When you know that everything is Brahman, there is no need for yogic control of the mind. Control presupposes second, a duality.

Hence, yoga is in the sphere of duality and is unnecessary to one who knows non-duality.

If anyone talks of liberation he is forming an idea. The idea belongs to duality. Those philosophers, who are so confused as to be unable to separate the subject from the object, talk of gaining liberation. But all such ideas are only the dualist illusion (object) which come and go, the Subject needs no liberation because the object is created out of the subject. Knowledge of the subject frees the subject from the illusory object.

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

The final state is that God is everything, the All; there is nothing but God, whereas to say "God is in me" is mysticism.

The world in which you exist is consciousness. Unless the world in which you exist is there in your realization, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn.

Ignorance cannot go through merely knowing the Soul, for it is known in sleep and Samadhi. It can go only by the realization of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman because there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
