Bhagvan Buddha: ~We ourselves must walk the path.+

Bhagavan Buddha: ~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

It is no use arguing Bhagavan Buddha is wrong or Sage Sri Sankara is right, but where we are going wrong in our understanding the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth, propagated by the great sages of the past. Some say, that without the sunyavada, Advaita philosophy could not have come into existence because Advaita starts from where sunyavada ends. That is why they say it is an extension of Buddhism. If Advaita existed prior to Bhagavam Buddha, he would not have advocated sunyavada at all because Advaita is the final and ultimate truth.

Since the Buddhist and the Vedic scriptures have been passed down by hearing, they were written down only relatively late, so one wouldn't know whether to rely on the times they give. Also, a lot depends on the translation. Each 'Sloka' or sutta is open to many layers of interpretation.

Bhagvan Buddha: ~ No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant populace. Even highly educated people are caught up in orthodoxy just because they have inherited from their forefathers

Bhagvan Buddha, Sage Sankara, and Sage Goudpada have declared non-dual truth centuries back, but one has to reach the destination with the scientific (rational) investigation, not through punditry and intellectuality. One has to mentally reach the final conclusion then only the conviction becomes firm. Without a firm conviction, the wisdom will not dawn. Therefore, there is a need to realize the consciousness is real, all else is a myth, which Sage Sankara declared as the world is myth Brahman alone is real and eternal.

Sage Sankara says Atman is Brahman and everything is Brahman is a scientific declaration not religious or yogic. Sage Sankara and Sage Goudpada are more scientific than anyone else in the world. Since the real Advaitic essence is hidden it cannot be got without the inner (mental) journey.

Sage Goudpada says:~The merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

Gnana here is Advaitic truth or rational truth or scientific truth. Thus, their scientific truth of the whole, not the part is declared by Sage Sri, Sankara 1400 years back and thought only to those of higher intellect. Thus karma and Upasana, yoga, and orthodoxy have to be bifurcated in order to realize the ultimate truth. Or Brahman.

Advaitic Wisdom is for those who are capable of inquiring into their own existence to know and realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. –

Santthosh Kumaar

Only the intellectuals argue to exhibit their intellectual wealth. The intellectual argument is based on ego.+

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is not acquired by a debate but by discriminating between what is real and what is what unreal one becomes aware of the Self hidden by the unreality.

As your inner conviction about the Soul grows you will be able to realize 'what is the truth?’ and ‘what is the untruth?’

As we keep thinking and reasoning deeper and deeper, the truth will shines as pure awareness in the midst of the duality (waking).

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is your ultimate teacher. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, for the Soul is the goal.

Millions are searching for truth but one in million will realize it. You are one from that million because you have the intense urge to realize the ultimate truth.

When the seeker is ready, the guidance comes on its own. An earnest desire to grow and a sense of deep commitment are the hallmarks of one who aspires to be a seeker.

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

Remember:~

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 detrimental to our spiritual progress.

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 non-Self.

Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward the ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as reality.

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.

Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-awareness.

Remember:~ 

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

Atmic path is not a question and answers session. Atmic path is not the path exchange views and opinion.   I have bifurcated what is not needed to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

Some people expect me to comment on their individual views and opinion and experiences. I do not want to mix others' views opinions and experiences, which is of no use in the Atmic path.

 I share only what reveals to me from the inner core of existence. 

Self-knowledge will not arise from the exchange of views and opinions and arguments. The accumulated knowledge is not a yardstick, to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space.

Only the intellectuals argue to exhibit their intellectual wealth. The intellectual argument is based on ego. The egocentric intellectuality is limited to form, time, and space.  

The truth you are seeking is based on the Soul the Self. The Soul, the Self is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.  

Thus, what is the use of egocentric argument in the Soulcentric discussion?

That is why Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ ‘Believe nothing because a wise man said it, believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you yourself judge to be true

Advaitic Wisdom consists of knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness. 

The freedom (ultimate truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the Soul or consciousness, or Self, are quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Ashtavakra: ~ Diamonds are not many; only pebbles and rocks are so common. A single diamond is enough.

Intellectuals argue, if everything is consciousness, how can one give up anything? Can you give up anything? These types of questions are speculation based on the waking entity (ego), which is the false self within the false experience.  

Without knowing the Self is not the form but the ‘Self’ is formless it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

All their speculation is limited to the domain of the form, time, and space whereas the truth is beyond the form, time, and space. They are incapable of understanding and assimilating truth, which is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. they refuse to verify and they want the truth on their own terms. : ~

Santthosh Kumaar

The rejection of religion, which is based on blind faith or blind belief in favor of the truth is the message of Sage Sankara.+

Sage Sankara declared the Advaitic or the non-dualistic truth centuries back, but one has to reach the destination with the scientific or rational investigation, not through religious rituals and intellectuality.

Mundaka Upanishad:~The rituals and the sacrifices described in the Vedas deal with lower knowledge. The sages ignored these rituals and went in search of higher knowledge. ... Such rituals are unsafe rafts for crossing the sea of samsara, of birth and death. Doomed to shipwreck are those who try to cross the sea of samsara on these poor rafts. Ignorant of their own ignorance, yet wise in their own esteem, these deluded men Proud of their vain learning go round and round Like the blind led by the blind.

The rejection of  religion, which is based on blind faith or blind belief in favor of the truth is the message of Sage Sankara.

Remember:~

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.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth

God in truth is impersonal.

Self is not you. The Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Identifying the Self as 'you', is a great error. The Soul, the Self is God in truth. God in truth is impersonal.

Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman or 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 besides it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described because the description implies a 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.

Prayers and rituals based on personal Gods are not the answer to achieve world peace and universal brotherhood.  Prayers and rituals based on blind faith and blind belief propagated by religion will not yield any fruit.

The time has come for us to consider seriously how to change our way of life not through prayer or religious  rituals, but through realizing God in truth.

Remember:~

Religion is the cause of  of  wars, violence terrorism. The problem of  wars, violence, terrorism in the name of religion and religious Gods  “cannot be resolved through prayers and rituals.

Religion is a man-made problem. Until religion is discarded from the human psyche, this problem cannot be resolved. 

We need a systematic approach to replace religion, which is based on myth  with Spirituality which is based on God in truth.

Knowledge of  God in truth to bring oneness and harmony in humanity.

If we start doing it now, there is hope that this century will be different from the previous one.

Remember:~

Most of the orthodox people live in the prison of the inherited dogmas and superstitions. The orthodox people expect their clan to follow a certain outdated religious code of conduct (Shastras) and live dogmatically following the traditional lifestyle.

The path of orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant populace which has the sheepish mentality and blindly accepting the inherited dogmas and superstition. From the ultimate standpoint, the concept of God itself is a superstition. Thus, all religious ideas of heaven, hell, sin, karma, are merely imaginary ideas and theories meant for the ignorant people of ancient times. 

One has to mentally reach the final conclusion then only the conviction becomes firm. Without the firm conviction, the wisdom will not dawn. Therefore, there is a need to know consciousness is real all else is a myth, which Sage  Sankara declared as the world is myth Brahman alone is real and eternal.

Sage Sankara says Atman is Brahman and everything is Brahman is a scientific declaration not religious or yogic. Sage  Sankara is more scientific than anyone else in the world. Since the real Advaitic essence is hidden it cannot be got without the inner (mental) journey.

Sage  Goudpada says: - The merciful Veda teaches Karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

Gnana here is the knowledge of uncontradictable truth or scientific truth. Thus their scientific truth of the whole, not the part is declared by Sage Sankara 1200 years back and thought only to those of higher intellect. Thus karma and upasana, yoga, and orthodoxy have to be bifurcated in order to realize the ultimate Truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Advaitic Wisdom is for those who are capable of inquiring into their own existence to know and realize the ultimate Truth or Brahman or God in truth. –Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara: ~ The unreality of the universe is exposed only when one inquires into the nature of the universe.+

Self-inquiry is finding out the ‘Self’ which is hidden by the illusory universe, in which we exist.  By inquiring ‘Who am I?’, the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of ignorance, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Without Advaitic wisdom, it is not possible to realize the truth, which is hidden within the world in which we exist.

That is why Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-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.

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 detrimental to our spiritual progress.

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

By inquiring Who is that you.  Noting is gained. The inquirer himself is the ego.  Without the ego, you do not exist.  The Self is not you because you are the ego.

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

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

Remember:~

There is only the mind that is present as the universe. Thus, we have to investigate the world that confronts us.

Sage Sankara: ~ The unreality of the universe is exposed only when one inquires into the nature of the universe.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC-63- "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know the 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.

After verifying through deeper inquiry if one finds the world is the reality within the illusion then he cannot again say the world is not an illusion.

If one is frightened to accept the world is an illusion (waking) then he is unfit to acquire Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Those who stuck with the reality of the world are stuck with the reality of the individual experiences of birth, life, and death, which take place within the unreal world. Thus the pursuit of truth is for those who have the courage to accept the reality as it is, that is the reality without form, time, and space.

All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time, and space.

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

When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

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 non-Self.

Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward the ignorance will prevail as a reality. Until ignorance is there the universe prevails as reality.

The Soul is the ‘Self’. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness is that which knows everything, that which sees. Consciousness alone remains after one gets rid of all thoughts and ideas by identification with ‘Self’.

Consciousness is only the seer; it is not Brahman that is an error. It becomes Brahman only after a deeper inquiry and Soulcentric reasoning. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

People who are emotionally stuck with Gurus will never be able to get rid of ignorance.+

Gurudom is playing with words because maybe the meaning is floating somewhere in between the spaces of words.

People who are emotionally stuck with Gurus will never be able to get rid of ignorance.

People who think themselves to be in a position to air their knowledge forget one basic fact, namely that they go by mere appearances.

Someone expounds knowledge and the one who receives it begins to ape the person from whom he has received the knowledge. They never question the validity of that knowledge.

Katha Upanishad says ~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch II-5 P-14)

It indicates that the ignorant one (darkness) of the true Self [Atman] searches truth by accumulating knowledge of every path and practice and uncertain about the truth, and thinks every path leads towards reality. Ignorance of the true 'Self' leads one towards hallucination.

Remember:~

You are a truth seeker you will not accept anything other than the ultimate truth.

By visiting the Ashram, ignorance will not vanish. By glorifying the Guru or surrendering to the Guru you will not get Advaitic Gnana. All religious and yogic paths are meant for the ignorant crowd, not for those who are searching for the truth of their true existence.

By practicing kundalini you will remain in ignorance permanently. Meeting holy people you will not get the grace.

Sage Sankara himself said: ~ A Gnani "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).

Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."

So he wore a Guru's 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.

Tripura Rahasya: ~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self-gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that. Realize yourself, turning the mind inward. (18: 89)

By observing nature you will not find the truth you are seeking for but by realizing the unreal nature of the universe the truth you are seeking will be revealed on its own.:~Santthosh Kumaar

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.+

In spirituality, God means the ultimate truth or Brahman. Self –realization is truth- realization. Truth- realization is God-realization.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. 

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.

Remember:~

This universe comes forth from the Soul and will return to the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. Verily, all is consciousness.

The deepest desire of the seeker is to realize the Self.

Sage Sankara: ~VC~ If the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.

That is why Sage Sankara's declaration: ~ “Brahman is the truth The World is Unreal everything is Truly Brahman and nothing else has any value.

If you are seeking truth then do not waste time finding a Guru and become his slave.

The Gurudom belongs to the religious and yogic path and it is nothing to do with the Advaitic path.

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

There is no need for a Guru, to know you and your Guru and 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 the consciousness. Knowledge of that single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Gnana is given neither from outside nor from another person.:~Santthosh Kumaar

The ‘I’ blocks you from realizing the truth hidden by form, time, and space because the ‘I’ itself in the form, time, and space.+

 

The ‘I’ blocks you from realizing the truth hidden by form, time, and space because the ‘I’ itself in the form, time, and space. Whatever belongs to form, time and space is the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance. The ‘I’ is the cause of the ignorance because ‘I’ itself is ignorance.

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

People are stuck glorifying the ‘I’ and ‘I-centric’ Gurus and their teaching. The more you glorify the ‘I’ and ‘I-centric’ Gurus and their teaching you will be caught up in the prison of ignorance. The ‘I-centric teaching is dualistic.

The ‘I’ appears on its own, it perishes on its own. The ‘I’ is not the cause of the appearance and disappearance because the ‘I’ itself is the appearance. The ‘Self’ not ‘I’, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The one which witnesses, the appearance and disappearance is not ‘I’ because the ‘I’ appears and disappears.

The one which is aware of the appearance and disappearance ‘I’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Realize, ‘what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality and what is hidden by the ‘I’ will be revealed.

If you realize the ‘Self ‘not the ‘I’ but the Soul then whatever hidden by the ‘I’ will be revealed.

Realizing the Soul is not the ‘I’ but the Soul is the Self, is Self –realization.

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

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole.

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 the 'I' as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self as the ‘I’. there is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ lead to Advaitic Self-awareness.

The dualists, having the idea of difference, even the least notion of the ‘I’, can never get realization.

For those who are mentally so constituted that they must rely on some authority, who cannot think for themselves, who cannot stand on their own legs, who must quote some man or other, we prescribe scriptures. But for those who have sharp brains, we appeal to reason and so. There is no need for the scriptures to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Science is the highest teaching in the world of duality. Spirituality has its roots in the same world but ultimately leads to non-dualistic awareness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Scientists need to prove whether the universe can exist without consciousness. Without solving the mystery of the universe the science is incomplete.+

Scientists need to prove whether the universe can exist without consciousness. Without solving the mystery of the universe the science is incomplete.

Max Planck ~Father of quantum physics says: ~ Science has no answer to it. Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

Sage Sankara already declared:` 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. The consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Whatever, the Scientists are able to monitor the pattern of brain activity through modern scientific equipment are based on the physical Self. The physical Self and physical activities are limited to physical existence. Physical existence is nothing to do with the ultimate truth. The universe is the physical existence

The scientists and their inventions are based on believing the physical Self and its experience world as a reality, whereas, the truth lies beyond physical existence.

Scientists discover, with what the physical body, is able to function itself as a person, and perceives the world, the truth will not be unfolded. Therefore there is a need to know with what the physical body is able to know itself because the physical body is not the knower of the physical body. Therefore, there is a need to be aware of the formless knower of the physical body to unfold the mystery of the mind.

Until and unless scientists become aware of the fact that, the Self is not physical their experiments will not yield any fruit. The experiment on the physical body and trying to find the truth is like trying to drain the ocean drop by drop.

Until scientists realize the fact that, the gross world is merged into the mental experience in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who regard them as different or higher are taking the physical body and the world as reality.

Scientists take the birth, life, and death as a reality, their scientific inventions are based on physical awareness, and they will not be able to go deeper into this subject, because they cannot cross the threshold of physicality.

The modern equipment can investigate objects within the physical existence but it is impossible to investigate the physical existence as a whole i.e. man and the world together. The whole cannot be investigated with laboratory conditions. Only through deeper thinking through inquiry, analysis, and reasoning, the whole has to be investigated.

One has to reach beyond the physical existence, mentally, and discovers, grasps the fact that, the physical existence is merely an illusion created out of single stuff; otherwise he will remain the conviction believing the duality is a reality.

The consciousness is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused. The universe is nothing but consciousness.

Modern science has yet to discover the consciousness is the cause of the universe, which was discovered and declared by Sage Sankara 1200 years back.

Remember:~

When the ‘Self’, not you but the ‘Self ‘is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, then the body (brain) and the world are mere illusion. That is why the truth- realization is impossible without a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’.

When the ‘Self’ is not the physical body then it is erroneous to judge and reason and conclude the truth on the base of ego, which is the false Self (you) within the false experience (waking) because it leads to an imaginary version of the hallucinated truth.

Even science:~

Why You Are Not Your Brain, and Other Lessons from the Biology of Consciousness

By: Alva Noë. Hill and Wang, 2009

Alva No, a University of California, Berkeley, philosopher, and cognitive scientist, argues that after decades of a concerted effort on the part of neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers "only one proposition about how the brain makes us conscious ... has emerged unchallenged: we don't have a clue." The reason we have been unable to explain the neural basis of consciousness, he says, is that it does not take place in the brain. Consciousness is not something that happens inside us but something we achieve it is more like dancing than it is like the digestive process. To understand consciousness the fact that we think and feel and that the world shows up for us we need to look at a larger system in which the brain is only one element. Consciousness requires the joint operation of the brain, body, and world. "You are not your brain. The brain, rather, is part of what you are."

Consciousness is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused. The universe is nothing but consciousness. Modern science has yet to discover consciousness is the cause of the universe, which was discovered and declared by Sage Sankara 1200 years back.

Until and unless scientists become aware of the fact that, the Self is not physical their experiments will not yield any fruit. The experiment on the physical body and trying to find the truth is like trying to drain the ocean drop by drop.

Until scientists realize the fact that, the gross world is merged into the mental experience in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as consciousness alone.

All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who regard them as different or higher are taking the physical body and the world as reality.
