Advaitic wisdom will dispel the clouds covering the path to Liberation.+

Just the way Light destroys the Darkness. Advaitic wisdom will dispel the clouds covering the path to liberation.

Humility, patience seriousness, sincerity, and an intense urge to realize the truth of his true existence will help the seeker to remove all the obstacles and show the path to liberation.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is hidden by ignorance. Through Self-knowledge, ignorance vanishes. The Soul remains in its own awareness without ignorance. In self-awareness, the Soul shines as the fullness of the consciousness, without the illusory division of the form, time, and space.

The Soul, which is the fullness of the consciousness alone, is eternal. Self-knowledge removes ignorance. Self-knowledge removes the knowledge of the individual.

Thus, the Soul loses the apparent hold of ignorance upon itself. And it frees itself from experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality~ that is Liberation.

On the standpoint of the Soul, there is no such thing as internal or external. Within the dualistic illusion, you create your own set of impressions and experiences and you accept the dualistic illusion as reality.

A personal realization of the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space, is independent and convincing evidence.

People’s individual experience cannot be disputed, because the experience they went through was real to them; though that may not be real, from the absolute standpoint.

The seeker has to make a distinction between the dualistic perspective view and the non-dualistic perspective of the worldview, to realize ‘what is the truth’ and ‘what is untruth’.

On the dualistic perspective, the universe in which we exist is a reality.

On the non-dualistic perspective, the universe in which we exist is an illusion.

Thus, it is necessary to realize from what standpoint the world in which we exist is a reality and on ‘what standpoint the world in which we exist is an illusion.

Because you hold the Self’ as ‘I’ you are misled, All this because you are stuck up with some gurus and their teaching as ultimate. There is no Guru whose teaching takes you to realize the Advaitic truth expounded by Sage Sankara.

Never use the word ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ for identifying the Soul, the Self because the ‘I’ represents ignorance, illusion, physicality, and duality.

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

The seeker has to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be? The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes in order to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the  Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "I," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.:~ Santthosh Kumaar

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is nothing to do with religion, yoga, and philosophies.+

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is nothing to do with religion, yoga, and philosophies.

That is why Sage 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.

There is no need to follow anyone. There is no need to practice anything but perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ leads to realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The Soul the ’Self’ revels ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

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

~then why you indulge in rituals.

Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to indulge in yoga, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~then why you indulge in yoga.

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)

~ then why you are sticking to a Guru who is not a 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.

Remember:~

The path of wisdom is not the religious and yogic path. Guru is not required in the path of wisdom.

Realize the ‘Self’ is not you. Do not struggle by practicing this and that to know the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

The ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself is causeless.

The consciousness is within the world in which you exist, but it is without the world in which you exist.

The consciousness can remain with or without the world in which you exist. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

What we don't know is hidden by what we know.+

 

What we don't know is hidden by what we know.  A Gnani is one who has discovered the hidden reality by identifying the Self as a Soul.

A Gnani cannot teach the seeker anything but he makes then realize the truth hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

When the seeker Inquiry into the nature of the ‘I’ then he will realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the illusory ‘I’. The ‘I’ itself is the dualistic illusion or Maya. 

When the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’ or ‘you’  but the ‘Self is the Soul then what is the use of saying I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am not this or I am not that.

What is the use of saying ‘I AM THAT’- without knowing what the ‘Self’ is in actuality? Without knowing the truth of the Self, without realizing the truth of the world in which you exist it is impossible to realize the truth hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. By a mere utterance of the word ‘I AM THAT', the truth will not be revealed.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is nothing to do with the ‘I-centric' or You-centric’   Gurus and their teachings. 

Remember, the ‘I’ is not an individual because the ‘I’ is the whole universe. Limiting the ‘I’ to individuality is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion a reality? 

The nature of the ‘I’ is the nature of the mind. 

The nature of the mind is the nature of the universe. 

The nature of the universe is the nature of the waking. 

The nature of the waking is the nature of the illusion.

Thus, it is necessary to study the nature of the ‘I’ to unfold the mystery the universe. 

All the teachings which limit the ‘I’ to an individual and glorify the ‘I’ without knowing what this ‘I’ supped to be in actuality. All ‘I’ based teachings are inadequate and useless for the serious seeker of truth. 

If you are seeking truth nothing but the truth must discard without mercy such teaching in order progress in your spiritual quest. 

The seeker must know the ‘I’ is not limited to individuality. The seeker has to see the ‘I’ as the universe, in order to overcome the ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes. 

When ignorance vanishes and the dualistic illusion (world) you used to think as reality becomes unreal.

Remember:~

Till you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never be able to get Self-realization. ‘I’ hides the Soul, which is the Self. ‘

'I’ is ignorance.

‘I’ is the duality.

‘I’ in the form, time, and space.

‘I’ is the universe.

‘I’ is the waking.

‘I’ is the dream.

‘I’ is the illusion.

‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

Remember:~

Without the ‘I’ there is no ignorance.

Without the ‘I’ there is no duality.

Without the ‘I’ there is no form, time, and space

Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.

Without the ‘I’ there is no waking.

Without the ‘I’ there is no dream.

Without the ‘I’ there is no illusion.

Without the ‘I’ there is no experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The ‘I’ hides the truth.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say ‘I,’, If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

It is time to discard the ‘I’. Never use the word the ‘I’ or I AM for the Self. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Self-realization is possible only by acquiring the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.+

Every seeker of truth must bow his head with gratitude to Sage Sankara for his priceless treasure of Advaitic wisdom.

When you feel summer heat outside your house but when you enter the Air-conditioned house the heats goes away. Similarly, when you read the words of Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara the illusion (universe), which experienced as reality fades away.

By reading, reflecting, again and again, words of Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara, ignorance vanishes and the ‘Self’ hidden by ignorance starts revealing itself. Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara wipes out the illusion caused by ignorance.

It is important for the seekers of truth to read, reason, and reflects on the words of wisdom again and again to imbibe the knowledge of the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Self-realization is possible only by acquiring the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. Sage Sankara is the final authority on Advaita because he is the profounder of Advaitic wisdom.

Remember:~

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is inexhaustible wealth. All other wealth disappears as one spends, but with the Advaitic wisdom, the more one shares more he gains.

The ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The origin of the mind is the Soul. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The mind comes and goes as the waking or the dream.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The root of the universe is consciousness.

The ego is restless in its nature. Whatever based on the ego is an illusion. Whatever is based on the Soul is the reality.

The universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Whatever theories, paths and practices, and knowledge based on the ego will not lead to Self-realization.

Self-realization is to realize the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You are the ‘ego’ so you are not the ‘Self’. If you are not the ‘Self, then what is the use of saying ‘I am this’ or ‘I am that’ without knowing what the Self’ is in actuality.

Without the ego, the world, in which we exist ceases to exist. The ego and the world appear together and disappear together. Therefore, it is impossible to get rid of the ego alone because the world has appeared along with the ego.

The world in which we exist is a reality, on the base of the ego. The world in which we exist is an illusion on the base of the Soul, the Self.

The world in which we exist is based on the ego; therefore it is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self. The ego is the false self within the false experience.

The seeker has to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ in order to realize the world in which he exists is merely an illusion.

Without making sure how this world is an illusion and on what standpoint the world is an illusion it is impossible to acquire Advaitic wisdom.

The seeker has to think deeply and reason deeply then only it is possible to realize the unreal nature of the ‘I’ and realize the truth, which is beyond the ‘I’. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Advaitic wisdom is soulcentric knowledge. It is difficult for people to understand soulcentric knowledge from the dualistic perspective.+

Advaitic wisdom is soulcentric knowledge. It is difficult for people to understand soulcentric knowledge from the dualistic perspective.

Our intelligence is based on the dualistic perspective thus; one has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the non-dualistic perspective.

As one goes on reading my blogs and posting gradually he will become soulcentric and will be able to view the worldview on the non-dualistic perspective then he will be able to grasp the Advaitic truth.

People’s opinions are based on the dualistic perspective based on the false self (ego or you) within the false experience (waking). Therefore, people go on arguing holding their accumulated knowledge as a yardstick.

The pursuit of truth is the pursuit of verification not a pursuit of an argument. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification.

The judgment has to be is based on the Soul, the Self to understand, assimilate, and realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The judgment based on the nondualistic perspective leads to Self-awareness. In Self-awareness, the Soul, the innermost Self, will remain in its own awareness in the midst of diversity.

Only a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. By realizing form, time and space are one in essence and that essence is consciousness leads to non-dualistic or Advaitic Self-awareness.

When we drop all accumulate knowledge and start afresh it becomes easier to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The seeker has to have an inner urge to know the truth seriousness, patience, and humility in order to reach the ultimate end of understanding. A man of truth will not indulge in an argument he keeps his distance with such a mindset. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The seeker has to discard Advaitic orthodox prescription in order to discover pure Advaitic essence.+

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom will one day replace all the religions of the world because Advaitic wisdom is the knowledge of God in truth.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom will help to bring universal brotherhood and unity in diversity.

The seeker has to discard Advaitic orthodox prescription in order to discover pure Advaitic essence.

Advaitic wisdom is not any type of teaching or philosophy. Advaitic wisdom is not body-based knowledge but the knowledge of the true existence.

Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the ‘Self’ which is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is the ultimate reality, Brahman, or God in truth.

That why Sage Sankara said:~Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

When the ‘Self’ is not the body (you) but the Soul then the question of wife, children, or whatever connected to the body will not arise.

All these experiences as a father, son, Guru, and pupil the world in which they all exist were one and the same consciousness appearing differently. All these distinctions disappear when one realizes Self is not ‘I’ but the Soul. The Soul is the cause of this world in which we exist and it itself is uncaused.

Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-awareness. By holding on to theories one remains in the realm of duality. One has to mentally go on dropping what is not the truth through deeper Self-search. Finally when one becomes aware of the fact that, his ego, his body, and the world are one in essence then there is Self-awareness in the midst of duality.

Sage Sankara says: ~ V.63- "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

In nondual 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 the world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, and because of wisdom, everything is considered as consciousness. Thus there is conscious oneness.

Only in ignorance, the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

In Self-awareness, the reality of the universe fades away. +

 

All your accumulated knowledge is egocentric whereas the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sri, Sankara is soulcentric.

You have to learn to view the worldview from the non-dualistic perspective then only you will be able to have the Soulcentric view of the worldview.

All likes and dislikes are of the ego. All good and bad belong to the ego. The desires belong to the ego. The ego belongs to the duality. The duality is merely an illusion.

Your body and your experience of the world belong to the ego. The ego, the body, and the world appear together and disappear together.

All the doubts and confusion are only from the dualistic perspective. There are no doubts and confusion is from the non-dualistic perspective. In ‘Self’-awareness there is unity in diversity in consciousness.

In physical awareness, there is diversity in the consciousness. The seeker has to be always aware of this truth! Everything within the dualistic illusion is merely an illusory division created within consciousness.

The error is in observing the worldview. Egocentric observation yields objective awareness. Soulcentric observation leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of diversity. Thus ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to Advaitic awareness.

The Soul is the  ‘Self’. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of consciousness is awareness. 

Remember:~

The seeker has to drop all his egocentric accumulated knowledge and only then he is fit to grasp Self-knowledge.

You are not separate from the ego because you are the ego. Without the ego you and the world in which you exist cease to exist. In the awareness of the ego, the world in which you exist is a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, your individual experience of the birth, life, death, and the world experienced as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the form, time, and space prevail as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the dualistic illusion, or Maya prevails as reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the three states prevail as reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the ‘I’ prevails as a reality.

If ‘I’ prevails as reality the ignorance prevails as reality.

Self-knowledge or Advaitic wisdom is necessary to get rid of ignorance.

Without Self-awareness, the universe prevails as reality. Self-awareness means the conscious awareness of the Soul hidden by the ‘I’. In Self-awareness, the reality of the universe fades away. 

Sage Sankara says liberation comes, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way. (1) Vivekachoodamani v 56, pg 25:~Santthosh Kumaar

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

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara reveals both the real and the unreal nature of the existence.

The universe 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 universe, 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 universe, which confronts us, 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 universe 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 knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The world in which we exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The whole universe is nothing but the Soul. Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

It is not as if something that was not consciousness suddenly becomes consciousness. Rather, "knowing the truth” means a removal of the ignorance about one's own existence as consciousness. Thus, to "know the truth” is to "be consciousness."

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the universe, 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

Remember:~

Advaitic wisdom has been lost in the labyrinth of philosophy. People misinterpret and falsify it today because they propagate Advaita on the dualistic perspective. The knowledge-based on dualistic perspective is intellectual knowledge based on imagination, not Advaitic wisdom.

Advaitic wisdom is not yoga but the truth beyond the form, time, and space. The teachers of philosophy and Gurus and yogis do not want to inquire into truth and have no time for it. They only want to propagate their accepted truth.

Advaitic wisdom has been lost for ages because it was hidden from the general populace by the Sages of truth. Advaitic wisdom was kept as "the Supreme secret."

Even in ancient days, people did not care for Advaitic wisdom they wanted religion; hence Advaitic wisdom Gnana got lost. That is why Krishna calls it "the supreme secret.

Instead of discussing religion, religious Gods, karma, and yoga, the seeker should dive into deeper self-search.

Religion and yoga are not final. They only give you temporary satisfaction. The knowledge of the whole universe is what is wanted to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The seeker should not rely on religion and Yoga but rely on the reason that is discrimination between real and unreal. : ~

Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara: ~ “It is possible also to show the unreality of the object world even from pure reasoning.+

Sage Sankara: ~ “It is possible also to show the unreality of the object world even from pure reasoning.

Do not believe in a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe in a thing because wise man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by dualistic knowledge Find out the truth for yourself. Use Soulcentric reason, which leads to the realization of the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning because Truth is not in the letters.

The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual awareness. Meaning is attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the sticklers for particular words.

Sage Sri 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 the ‘Self’ is awake.

Sage Sri 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)

Sage Sri Sankara: ~ “As the moon appears to be moving when the clouds move in the sky, so also to the non-discriminating. Atman appears to be active when in reality the senses are active.

Advaitic can never be reached by argument and provocation. Discard all the accumulated dualistic knowledge by realizing the world in which you exist, exists because of ignorance.

Get rid of ignorance by realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Realizing the ‘Self’’ is not you but the Soul is Self-realization. The Soul is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.

Remember:~

The reasoning is interpretable in two ways. The egocentric interpretation is to apply it only to the waking experience. The soul-centric interpretation is to apply it to the three states. The latter leads to the final settlement of the problems because it takes all data into consideration.

Sage Goudpada: ~ “To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)

A permanent view of the world as an illusion can come only after Soul centric reasoning; such knowledge cannot change. Were the seeker is sufficiently sharpness he could grasp the unreal nature of the world by Soul-centric reasoning alone. To know the whole truth, one must know the whole universe, otherwise, he gets only half-truth.

Renouncing the worldly life and accepting sanyasa or monk-hood means the incapacity to think deeper, impotency to inquire, and reason.

People speak of getting rid of conditioning or samskara but they themselves are unaware of the fact that the universe in which they exist is the product of the inborn samskara or conditioning.

Ignorance is the cause of the inborn samskara or conditioning which is present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’. :~Santthosh Kumaar
