Advaitic wisdom is crystal clear. You won't be able to add even a small bit of your own interpretation to it.

The ultimate truth cannot be written the truth. Only one can indicate the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

There is no way to distort or twist the ultimate truth and also there is no chance to add anything. Sage Sankara has given such an expression that no one has been able to add or take anything from the Advaitic truth, even though centuries have passed. 

It is not easy to give such a perfect expression. Such skill with words to indicate the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space, is very difficult to come by.

The Atmic path is a rare journey to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. If there is no form, then there is no time and space.

The populace has no interest in the Atmic oath. All the saints, all the Gurus all the religious heads, all the Godmen, none of them has any interest, because with Advaitic wisdom they cannot go on playing their dualistic games.

All the Gurus and Saints' interest were to inspire the populace. They wanted the whole country to get involved in religion and the mythology was helpful.

Advaita is nothing to do with the emotions and sentiments of the populace. The Gurus are not interested, the politicians are not interested, and the yogis have nothing to do with the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space because they cannot impose anything. There is no room for the duality in Advaitic reality.

The sense of ‘I’ itself is ignorance. In reality, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the ‘Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Those Gurus hold the ‘I’ as the ‘Self’ only propagating the half-baked knowledge as the ultimate truth. And those who follow such Gurus will remain like stagnant water in the muddy pond.

Those Gurus say “You are not this, there is nothing of yours in this, except the 'I am', which is the bridge between the watcher and his dream. ‘I AM THIS; I AM THAT' is the dream, while pure 'I AM' has the stamp of reality on it. You have tasted so many things -- all came to naught. Only the sense 'I am' persisted -- unchanged. Stay with the changeless among the changeful, until you can go beyond”. Such declaration keeps you permanently in ignorance because it is based on form alone. These gurus think the ‘Self’ is within you whereas you and your experience of the world are within the Soul, which is present in the form of Consciousness.

When the Self is not you then what is the use of saying ‘I am not this ‘I am that without realizing what the ‘Self’ is in actuality.

You have to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be? You have to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes to realize the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’. the ‘I’ is present in the form of 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 God in truth. 

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.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. there is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

Without knowing what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality it is impossible to grasp the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’.

You and your world are within the ‘I’, which the dualistic illusion. The ‘Self’ is not ‘I’ but the Soul, witness of the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion. You and your experience of the world is nothing to do with the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion.

Thus, you and your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is nothing to do with the Soul, the innermost Self. When the ignorance vanishes, then the Soul, the Self, remains in its own awareness.

Our bodies and the world in which we exist are made out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, the whole universe in which we exist is nothing but consciousness. Thus, the consciousness alone is real and the universe in which we exist is merely an illusion. Thus, all the contents of the universe are merely an illusion.

You are bound by birth, life and death, and the world. You are born within the world, which is mere, an illusion. You are living within the illusory world, and you are going to die within the illusory world. Whatever is born, lives, and dies within the illusory world is not the Self.

Only in illusion, there is form, time, and space. The form, time, and space within the illusory world is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the standpoint of the Soul, the  Self, there is no scope of form, time, and space. In the real nature of the Soul, there is no duality.

All the years you have passed are within the illusion. Billions of past and future years belong to the illusion. The things that happened billions of years ago and the things that are to happen billions of years from now are happenings within the illusion. The illusion is an illusion is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. The Soul, which is present in the form of Consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The practical life within the practical world is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self.

The Soul is the formless substance and the witness of the illusion. In the realm of the truth, the substance and the witness of the illusion are one in essence. That essence is the Soul or consciousness. Thus, Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Advaitic wisdom got lost because, people’s belief in the religion and yoga as the stepping stone for Self-realization.+

The Advaitic wisdom got lost, because, people’s belief in religion and yoga as the stepping stone for Self-realization. The orthodoxy propagated Advaita, is not Advaitic wisdom. The Advaitic orthodoxy is nothing to do with the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

Advaitic orthodoxy meant for the ignorant populace, which desires the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices. Advaitic orthodoxy based on the birth entity whereas Advaitic wisdom is based on the Soul, the Self.

It is waste of time and effort to get Self-realization by following the path of Advaitic orthodoxy because it is based on the birth entity, which is the false self within the illusory world.

Advaitic wisdom advanced seeker who seeks to know the truth hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

People are unaware of the fact that religion and yoga are dualistic. Dualistic knowledge is the prison for the Soul, the Self.

Dualistic knowledge meant for the ignorant populace, which is incapable of grasping the ‘Self’, which is hidden by the dualistic illusion.

Lord Krishna confesses that the oldest wisdom of India (Advaitic wisdom) has been lost: people misinterpret and falsify it today as they did then. It is not yoga but the philosophic truth. But nobody knows it. The teachers of philosophy and leaders of mysticism or religion do not want to inquire into truth and have no time for it. (Gita –Chap- IV-v.2)

In Gita Chap.IV where Lord Krishna says: ~ "This yoga has been lost for ages" the word yoga refers to Gnana yoga, not other yogas: the force of the word this is to point this out.

Lord Krishna describes some of the other yogas but devotes this chapter separately to Gnana Yoga. So, one sees even in those ancient days people did not care for Advaita; they wanted religion; hence Gnana got lost. That is why Krishna calls it "the supreme secret." Krishna points out that the yoga must-see "Brahman in action."

Advaitic wisdom helps the seeker to see the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion as it is in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Advaitic 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 mountain 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 innermost Self. Knowledge of the Soul, the innermost 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 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 the 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 idea the Soul will remain in the cage of the 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; 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 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

Many people quote Advaita without understanding it really in its highest aspect. They declare themselves as Gnanis, but their knowledge really mysticism.

There is no hope for those who call themselves realists because they are unwilling to make inquirie into what is real. The true seeker of truth analyses and inquires not relying on first impressions, and hence he is fit for the path of Advaitic wisdom.

They have to know that what they are saying is true. There are so many conflicting teachings by many Gurus, one gets confused as to which are true. They will be unable to prove because they do not know the proper test of truth, they preach what is written is books with their own interpretation without verifying them.

There is no hope for those who call themselves realists because they are unwilling to make inquiry into what is real. The true seeker of truth analyses and inquires, not relying on first impressions, and hence he is fit for the path of Advaitic wisdom.

Why does one start with assuming that anything he knows is true? Many things he regards many things unconsciously as true because he enjoys them or is pleased or satisfied with them. But without verification, nothing has to be accepted as truth. Advaitic wisdom gives uncontradictable truth which is the rational truth, scientific truth, and ultimate truth.

To realize the Advaitic truth is the seeker's aim, which is quite different from the opinions of dualistic egocentric schools. Advaitic truth is Soulcentric truth and uncontradictable truth. All the various views are mere opinions and have nothing to do with the ascertainment of the ultimate truth, which is beyond the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

In the Advaitic path, the seeker of truth has to analyze the whole world; think consistently on it. He has to exercise his thinking faculty and inquire continually; discrimination is essential; this practice is the only way to grasp Advaitic truth.

Gnana is that knowledge, knowing which everything else becomes known. Truth can be known by its being impossible of contradiction, and depending entirely on what is not the self. The seeker of truth has to go to the very root of things. He rejects everything which is untrue by Soulcentric reasoning.": ~ Santthosh Kumaar

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

The word Brahman means ultimate truth or reality which cannot be indicated by any word. The Brahman can be expressed through silence because it is beyond the experience form, time, and space. Therefore, the word Brahman clearly stands for the essence of the three states, which is consciousness only. The Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is for realize the Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara disagrees with Buddhists who say, there is nothing - a nonentity. Sage Sankara believes there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be. If one knows the truth, he will know what to do to find inspiration for action. The seeker of truth‘s subject is to know what is it that is Real.

Buddhism says:~ ‘All things are illusory and nothing exists. However, Advaita avers that it is not so. It says that the universe, of course, is illusory, but there is Brahman (consciousness), that exists, forming the very substratum of all things (illusion or universe).

Sage Sankara opposed the Buddhists only, who misunderstood Bhagavan Buddha and became atheists. According to Sage Sankara meditation always means the critical analysis of the Self to get salvation from worldly tensions. Due to the eccentric ego of the then atheists, Sage Sankara did not go beyond this since the atheists will not accept God beyond themselves. This limitation is not due to limited knowledge of Sage Sankara but is due to the then-existing situation of the psychology of the surrounding society.

Even Bhagavan Buddha kept silent about God because the society that dealt with Him consisted of Purvamimamsakas, who were strong atheists. Bhagavan Buddha told that everything including the Self is only relatively real (Sunya). This is correct because the Self is a part of the universe, which is relatively real concerning the absolute unimaginable God. The Bhagavan Buddha stopped at this point because the atheists cannot realize the existence of unimaginable God indicated through His silence.

The point of Bhagavan Buddha is that if God is non-existent, the entire creation including the Soul, the ‘Self ‘is non-existent.

How the universe can exist without the Soul because the universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul.

The Atman is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Atman because It is the very essence of the one who denies It. The Atman is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

The Soul is present in the form of Consciousness is real and eternal. The world in which we exist is an illusion created out of Consciousness.

Atman is Brahman (God), the One without A Second

According to Vedas and Upanishads, God is Athma:~

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) 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)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself’.

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.

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

Sage Sankara himself had often said that his philosophy was based on Shruti, or revealed scripture. This may be because Sage Sankara addressed the ordinary man, who finds security in the idea of causality and thus, in the idea of God—and Revelation is indispensable to prove the latter. He believed that those of superior intelligence, have no need of this idea of divine causality, and can, therefore, dispense with Shruti and arrive at the truth of Non-Dualism by pure reason. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

India is the fountainhead of the Advaitic wisdom. Advaitic wisdom is brighter, greater unfolds the mystery of the universe. +

Democracy and religion will not go hand in hand. Democracy has its own code of conduct and religion has its own. So there is always conflict. Religion is outdated to suit modern society.

Until and unless the whole of humanity is made aware of what God in truth, the wars, violence, and terrorism in the name of God and religion will not stop. Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the political class as useful.

True existence is God hidden by the illusory universe. This universe is nothing but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. From the Soul, the universe appears and when the universe disappears from the consciousness, the consciousness still remains without any division of the form, time, and space.

God in truth is not what we believe and worship. God is universal. God does not belong to any particular religion.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad:~ "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 Chapter:~ All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many gods. (7- Verse -20)

Kena Upanishad (6) Chapter I: ~ “That which cannot be apprehended by the mind, but by which, they say, the mind is apprehended-That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (7) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be perceived by the eye, but by which the eye is perceived-That alone know as Brahman and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (8) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be heard by the ear, but by which the hearing is perceived-That alone know as Brahman and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (9)- Chapter I:~ That which cannot be smelt by the breath, but by which the breath smells an object-That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.

God in truth is not tasty and it is a bitter pill to swallow. Religion made God tasty with its mythical toppings. Every region has created its own myth and propagated its own GOD to the ignorant populace. Religion is the cause of separation of humanity. Today humanity is facing wars, violence, terrorism, in the name of religious God and religion.

God in truth is not religious. God is universal and belongs to the whole of humanity. All Gods of the beliefs are mere imaginary.

Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24)”,

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit.

Vedas and Upanishad confirm the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.

Even 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 innermost 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.

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Even The Bhagavad Gita says: ~ ‘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.

Those who indulge in a perverted argument on their own standpoint and opinion about God are not seeking the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

It is time, humanity has become fanatics of the truth to bring the universal brotherhood. The truth is the only thing that can cure all propagated by the belief system.

Jesus said: - Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)

Jesus meant the knowledge of our true existence, which is the Spirit the real God.

3. Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you. (Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded)

5. Jesus said, "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you.

For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. [And there is nothing buried that will not be raised.]" (Jesus spoke and Didymus Judas Thomas recorded)

Sage Sankara says: - VC-47-All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the not-Self.

India is the ancient land, where wisdom made its home India whose soil has been trodden by the feet of the greatest sages of truth like Bhagavan Buddha, Sage Sankara, and Sage Goudpada.

India is the fountainhead of Advaitic wisdom. Advaitic wisdom is brighter, greater which unfolds the mystery of the universe, which contains the whole of humanity.

Today the humanity needs universal brotherhood and peace for the whole of humanity to live with love and harmony not to indulge in the blood bath.

The goal of every human being is to realize God in truth. The truth is inherent in every seeker of truth. The truth does not come from outside, it is hidden within the world by which we exist. Thus, humanity has to wake up and seek the truth.

Tattireya Upanishad: ~ “The Self in man and in the sun is one. Those who understand this see through the world and go beyond the various sheaths of being to realize the unity of life. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

If you stick to anything of the illusory universe you will never be able to transcend the illusory universe or Maya.+

If you hold anything as real from the dualistic illusion of Maya as reality then it blocks you from realizing the 'Self' hidden by the 'I', which the dualistic illusion or Maya.

People emotionally get stuck with their physical Gurus. This is a great mistake. If you are seeking truth then you neither require the grace of the physical Guru nor his love, nor his blessings.

Remember this, you and your physical Guru and the world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

If you stick to anything of the illusory universe you will never be able to transcend the illusory universe or Maya.

If you are seeking truth or God then you have to discard what is not needed for ‘Self-realization.

There are so many in the guise of Gurus and Godmen with criminal records who indulge in cheating rape, murder.

The Gurus and Godmen who promise instant enlightenment or Self-realization are not Gnanis. Mixing religion with the Atmic path is like mixing oil in the water.

Seekers from the west mistake whoever calls them gurus are Gnanis, thus their mission of seeking the truth is misguided by such Gurus.

A person who realized the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and all religious identity and lives like a commoner. He never identifies himself as Gnani nor does he identify himself as superior to others. He only shares his knowledge with fellow seekers.

By identifying as a Guru or some Guru’s disciple keeps one in the cage of the ignorance. A person who identifies himself as a Guru or disciple will never be able to get Advaitic Gnana.

A Gnani never identifies himself as a Guru or a Yogi or someone disciple. The one who accepts himself as a Guru or someone’s disciple is not a Gnani.

Sage Sankara himself said: ~ A Gnani "bears no outward mark of a holy man"

Thus, it proves that the religious gurus and yogis are not Gnanis because they identified themselves as holy people.

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 a Guru who is not a Gnani.

Ashtavakra Samhita: ~ "The man of knowledge (Gnani), though living like an ordinary man, is contrary to him and only those like him understand his state.

A Gnani is neither anyone’s gurus nor any one’s disciple. He respects all the sage of the past and highlights good points in their teaching and he also highlights the obstacles, which block the realization of the ultimate truth.

Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread." (Select Works of Sage Sri, Sankara" also his commentary on Brihad)

Thus, the above passage proves that all those who were the sanyasin robes are wearing it for the sake of bread belongs to the religion; they are nothing to do with the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. There is no need to criticize and condemn the Gurus, yogis, and swamis because they are needed for the welfare of ignorant mass in the dualistic world.

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 a Guru who is not a Gnani.

That is why 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.”

Yogis and Guru s are not Gods.

This idea of worshiping Guru as God is not a Vedic idea but adopted from Jainism and Buddhism.

Vedas bars human worship: ~

Yajurveda:~ "They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.":~ (Yajurveda 40:9.)

Then why worship and glorify the Gurus and Yogis (human form) in place of God when Veda bars such activities and it also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

No one has ever seen God by practicing religion or yoga or indulging in glorifying the religious God and Goddesses because God exists prior to the form, time, and space. The form, time, and space cease to exist as a reality when wisdom dawns.

Thus, the Gods and Guru s have no place in the domain of the Advaitic reality. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, which is real God. Thus, Self-realization is the only way to God-realization.

By worshiping the religious Gods and Guru s one will not get Self-realization or God-realization.

The Soul, the inner Guru revels ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Thus, you and your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is nothing to do with the Soul, the innermost Self. When the ignorance vanishes, then the Soul, the innermost Self, remains in its own awareness.

Our bodies and the world in which we exist are made out of single clay. That single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, the whole universe in which we exist is nothing but consciousness. Thus, the consciousness alone is real and the universe in which we exist is merely an illusion. Thus, all the contents of the universe are merely an illusion.

You are bound by birth, life and death, and the world. You are born within the world, which is mere, an illusion. You are living within the illusory world, and you are going to die within the illusory world. Whatever is born, lives, and dies within the illusory world is not the Self.

Only in illusion, there is form, time, and space. The form, time, and space within the illusory world is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of Consciousness. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, there is no scope of form, time, and space. In the real nature of the Soul, there is no duality.

All the years you have passed are within the illusion. Billions of past and future years belong to the illusion. The things that happened billions of years ago and the things that are to happen billions of years from now are happenings within the illusion. The illusion is an illusion is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The practical life within the practical world is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self.

The Soul is the formless substance and the witness of the illusion. In the realm of the truth, the substance and the witness of the illusion are one in essence. That essence is the Soul or Consciousness. Thus,  Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

A Gnani sees the reality hidden by ignorance as it is in the midst of diversity (universe).+

Manduka Upanishads:~ A Gnani, bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the religious robe has anything to do with him.

A Gnani cannot have the idea of giving up, renouncing the world or some object or person in the world, because that would connote the idea of duality. Knowing no second thing at all there remains nothing to be given up.

A Gnani, on attaining realization, will not give up his vocation in life but will continue it as before. If he was a billniore, he continues so, if a peasant, he will remain one. He still does his duty, but he is fully aware of the fact that his practical life within the practical world merely an illusion.

It is not correct to say that, a Gnani sees only good everywhere and never evil. He is fully aware of the evil things, he knows when he is being taken for a ride, but he remains unperturbed though acting as required. He recognizes what is bad and what is a good practical point of view and what is real and what is an illusion from the ultimate standpoint.

 A Gnani sees the reality hidden by ignorance as it is in the midst of diversity (universe).

Sage Sankara himself said: ~ A Gnani "bears no outward mark of a holy man"

Select Works of Sage Sankara" also his commentary on Brihad: ~ “Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."

So he wore the religious robe only for the sake of the ignorant. So he was identified as Guru with parampara by religious people. For the truth seekers, Sage Sankara is a Brahma Gnani.

Thus, it proves that the religious gurus and yogis are not Gnanis because they identified themselves as holy people.

Thus it proves that Sage Sankara meant, taking sanyasa and wearing the religious robes to earn bread. Sanyasa is not a qualification to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Exploring if an outside observer can, in all cases, determine if a person is Enlightened or not, the venerated Sage Sankara, in his work The Crest-Jewel of Discrimination (1) or as it is sometimes known, Viveka Chudamani (2), states that the Knower of the Atman (i.e., a Gnani) "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).

Sage Sankara writes (on a Gnani): - “Sometimes he appears to be a Fool, sometimes a wise man. Sometimes he seems splendid as a king, sometimes feeble-minded. Sometimes he is calm and silent. Sometimes he draws men to him. Sometimes people honor him greatly, sometimes they insult him. Sometimes they ignore him.

Sage Sankara:~ "The ignorant see the body of a knower of Brahman and identify him with it. Actually, Atman, the Self is free from the body and every other kind of bondage. To the 'Self' the body is merely a shadow."

Manduka Upanishads: ~ It is very difficult to find out who is a Gnani because he bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the yellow robe has anything to do with him.

A Gnani cannot have the idea of renouncing the world or giving up something of the practical world because that would connote the idea of duality. Duality is merely an illusion from the ultimate standpoint. Knowing no second thing at all there remains nothing to be given up.

Self- Knowledge is only is true knowledge not the absence of duality. Self -Knowledge cannot destroy the world but it eliminates ignorance and exposes the unreal nature of the mind or universe.

A Gnani is the one who has realized the universe in which he exists is nothing but the consciousness. Self-awareness is unique. It cannot be experienced because it is prior to any experience. It is possible only by the realization of the knowledge of the Infinite."

A Gnani sees only unity in diversity, just like a goldsmith estimating the gold in various items of jewelry sees only gold. When one identifies the Self with the form then only the form, time and space are present. But when one transcends form, time, and space the duality never remains as reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
