When Sage Sankara says Brahman or God is impersonal and attributeless then why worship God with form, names, attributes.+

God must be independent of religion. Sage Sri, Sankara himself says the Saguna Brahman or a personal God is part of the illusory world and the Nirguna Brahman is the only eternal reality.

God is universal because God is impersonal. God does not belong to any religion because religious Gods are based on personal beliefs. God has to be realized not worshiped.

People are not aware of the fact that there is no God can exist, apart from the Soul, the Self. The Soul, the Self is present in the form of consciousness.

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.

If there is no consciousness, then there is no physical body, no world no religion, and no religious God.

Hinduism is not Vedic religion or Santana Dharma. Hindus do idol worship, while Vedas bars idol worship. God pervades in everything and everywhere in all three states.

People think that there must be a creator of this universe. If one thinks of the body or as ‘Self’, then there is a creator, but if one thinks of the Soul as the true ‘Self’, then there is nothing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Maher Baba said: ~ God is your innermost ‘Self’. Do not search for God outside of you. Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is and all else is an illusion.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. He cannot be seen directly by anyone. He pervades all beings and all directions.

Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

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

When Sage Sankara says Brahman or God is impersonal and attributeless then why worship God with form, names, attributes.

What is God like?

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many God s. (7- Verse -20)

Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. God is hidden behind the ‘I’ without the form, time, space, and name. God is unborn eternal.

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.

God is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. According to the Vedas God neither has any neither image nor God resides in any particular idol or statue. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.

Some scholars believe that that Lord Krishna has been just a Mahan yogi and not God himself’.

Hinduism is not Vedic religion or Santana Dharma. Hindus do idol worship, while Vedas bars idol worship. God pervades in everything and everywhere in all three states.

To be considered an orthodox Hindu one need only accept the authority of Shruti, however, there is no universal agreement among Hindus on what constitutes Shruti. Vedantins consider the Vedanta, i.e., the Upanishads as Shruti but also include the Bhagavad-Gita and Brahma Sutras as authoritative. For some Vaishnavas, the Bhagavata Purana is to be considered Veda. Some consider the Tantras are considered Veda. Thus, we find that there is ample scope for different philosophies and practices under the very broad umbrella of Hinduism.

Hindus indulge non-Vedic beliefs such as idolatry, ancestor worship, pilgrimages, priestcraft, offerings made in temples, the caste system, untouchability, and child marriages. All these lack Vedic sanctions, therefore, Hinduism is not Ancient Vedic religion or Santana Dharma.

All Hindus indulge in non-Vedic practice barred by the Vedas introduced by the different founders of the different sects of Hinduism at different times, whereas the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma is ancient and has no founder. Thus to acquire ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the seeker has to realize his inherited religion is adulterated in the past and it becomes a great obstacle in realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~

Santthosh Kumaar

Manduka Upanishad:~ Yoga is in the sphere of duality and is unnecessary to one who knows non-duality.+

Manduka Upanishad:~ Yoga is in the sphere of duality and is unnecessary to one who knows non-duality. 

Yoga could in no way bring about wisdom, much less Moksha.

Sage Sankara says: ~ Yoga is not the means of liberation (page 132-133 - Commentary on Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

Yoga can yield only the duality, because everything that one can do or practice becomes a vanishing 'known.' It yields relative truth based on imagination, which is true from the physical viewpoint of view, not the non-dualistic truth, which is the ultimate reality.

Those who believe yoga is the means for Self-realization will permanently remain in ignorance.

Sage Sankara in the commentary to "Brahma Sutras:~" "The highest beatitude is not to be attained by Yoga." (Sacred Books of East Series page 298 Vol.1.) And he also says Samadhi is the same as sleep (p.312) ---Which indicates that yoga is not the means to Self-realization. And yogic Samadhi is not nondual Self-awareness.

Panchadesi:~ the impossibility of yoga arrives at a successful end to its practices. (P.509 v, 109)

Self-realization is not just a matter of literal or intellectual understanding, but as something that is to be grasped and realized by the individual in his/her own personal realization.

Yogic practices will not help in acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Yogic practices help only in repertory stages to be calm, to have patience and humility, and keep away unwanted thoughts. But yoga is no the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because yoga is based on the chakras, which are within the body whereas the Soul, the 'Self' has no chakras. After all, it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The practice of yoga is not recommended for seekers of truth by Sages Sankara.

The seeker has to be equipped with requisite qualities such as patience, humility ability to focus one's concentration in an intense manner, an ability to discriminate between the Real and the non-Real, and an intense urge for liberation.

It is important to remember that Moksha is not a result of ritualistic practice. Rituals are of the religion and personal Gods based on false Self within the false experience.

Ritualistic practices are meant for the ignorant populace who are incapable of grasping the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The truth is hidden within the dualistic illusion. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Many people are stuck to the idea that without a Guru, Self-realization is impossible. Guru is only a religious fable.+

All the holy people and holy places within the illusory universe or Maya are unholy from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self because they are illusory in nature. 

Vedas bar worship of anything that belongs to the illusory universe of Maya in place of Atman, which is God in truth.

Sage Sankara says all the holy people are not Gnanis.

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.

Vedas bar human worship: ~

Yajurveda:~

Translation:~

"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.)

Many people are stuck to the idea that without a Guru, Truth -realization is impossible. Guru is only a religious fable. They do not even know that the Guru teaches, is the truth.

Gurus themselves dwelling in darkness preach their way is the only way and the followers of the gurus follow the dualistic path like the blind led by the blind.

The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.

Remember:~

A Guru is needed in religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 masses in the dualistic world.

Even Swami Vivekananda was Ramakrishna Paramahansa's disciple. Swami Vivekananda himself 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 Soul.

Remember:~

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

If Sage Sankara has declared the world is myth Brahman alone is real then it is time for everyone to overcome ignorance and realize the truth to realize what Sage Sankara said was the truth or not.

It is time for the reform the human society free from dogmas and superstition. With nagging orthodox parents trying to impose their orthodox ideas on their children staying in the Self-imposed prison of orthodoxy without realizing they themselves are on the wrong path and they think they are on the right path to Moksha. The orthodox people live in the prison of dogmas.

Orthodox people expect their clan to follow a certain outdated religious code of conduct (Shastras) and live dogmatically following the traditional lifestyle. Those who followed the orthodoxy are favored and others are condemned they are thinking they are going to get Moksha by doing this act. Their chosen path is meant for the ignorant populace who have a sheepish mentality blindly accepting the inherited dogmas.

It is high time to stop judging who is right and who is wrong in this unreal world instead spend the same time acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to realize the world(samsara) is unreal the Brahman alone is real.

It is high time for the educated orthodox followers to realize their religion-based orthodox path was meant for the ignorant populace in the past, therefore, it is not suited for the modern mindset.

According to Advaita Vedanta, the Veda addresses itself to two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the most advanced seeker who seeks to know Brahman. Thus, the purva mimam. sa, with its emphasis on the karma kanda of the Vedas, is meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, the Vedanta, with its emphasis on the Jnana Kanda, is meant for those who wish to go beyond such transient pleasures.

The orthodox seekers are the ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices.

When Sage Sankara says the world is an illusion, it includes birth, life, and death, which happens within the world. Thus the seeker's main aim is to mentally trace the formless substance of the illusion, which is also the witness of the illusion. The formless substance and witness of the illusion (world), is the Atman, and this Atman itself is Brahman.

All desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices are of the dualistic illusion. Therefore, heaven and other pleasures are nothing but imagination based on the false self within the false experience. All the result of rituals, sacrifices is nothing but a myth propagated by the belief system.

It is time to stop imposing their inherited ideas on the children, which block their reasoning power believing all the myth propagated in the past by the belief system as truth. The path of the wisdom of Sage Sankara is most suited for the modern mindset. The orthodox religious Advaitic path is nothing to do with ultimate truth or Brahman.

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.

Getting stuck with the religious path is getting stuck with ignorance. Getting stuck with ignorance is getting stuck with dualistic illusion or Maya.

Getting stuck with the dualistic illusion or Maya is accepting the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. Thus, people who want freedom or Moksha right here right now must that is in this very life and this very world must follow the Soulcentric path of wisdom. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

If you say I AM GOD it is an error. God without the form and attributes.+

People say Aham Brahmasmi -- I am God, I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman remains, not I.

If you say I AM GOD it is an error. God without the form and attributes. God is not within you because God is hidden by the universe. Holding God is within you is a great error.

You are not God because the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

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 to 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. 

Remember:~

The Soul is not you to say I AM God. It is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time, and space whereas the Soul, the innermost Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

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

To understand the false nature of the ‘I’, the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary.

The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul which is the witness of the ‘I’. By holding the’ Self’ ‘I' leads to hallucination based on the imagination.

Remember:~

Do not strive to become God. The world in which you exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is the real God. God is not the part because God is the fullness of consciousness without the illusory division of the form, time, and space.

Everything is God in truth because everything is created out of God in truth. The Soul, the Self is God in truth which is present in the form of consciousness.

Religion accepts the concept of God in many forms. Sages of truth declare the Atman is Brahman. That is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. That is the ultimate truth is God. And the ultimate truth itself is worthy of Godhood.

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.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ The masses in India cry to sixty million Gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods?

Knowing this, stand up and fight! Not one step back that is the idea. ... Fight it out, whatever comes. Let the stars move from the sphere! Let the whole world stand against us! Death means only a change of garment. What of it? Thus, fight! You gain nothing by becoming cowards. ... Taking a step backward, you do not avoid any misfortune. You have cried to all the gods in the world. Has misery ceased? The masses in India cry to sixty million Gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods? ... The Gods come to help you when you have succeeded. So what is the use? Die game. ... This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself to your own mind does not befit you, my Soul. You are infinite, deathless, and birthless. Because you are the infinite spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is none to help you. You are the entire world. Who can help you? ~ Swami Vivekananda (Delivered In San Francisco, on May 28, 1900) -The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 1/Lectures And Discourses/The Gita II

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ The Self is indeed Brahman (God), but through ignorance, people identify it with intellect, mind, senses, passions, and the elements of earth, water, air, space, and fire. This is why the Self is said to consist of this and that and appears to be everything.

Yajurveda says: - if one worships what is not God: ~

Translation 1.

They enter darkness, those who worship natural things (for example air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc.).

They sink deeper into darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc.) ~ (Yajurveda 40:9)

Translation 2.

"Deep into the shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on sambhuti are intent.~("Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph T. H. Giffith pg 538)

Translation 3.

"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."~(Yajur Veda 40:9.)

So, Yajur Veda indicates that: ~

They sink deeper into darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc ~(Yajurved 40:9)

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."~ (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

The Hindus believed in polytheism, believing all of their Gods to be separate individuals, which were introduced much later by the founders of Hinduism which contains diverse beliefs caste, and creed.

When the religion of the Veda knows no idols, then why so many Gods and Goddesses with different forms and names are being propagated as Vedic Gods. Why these conceptual Gods are introduced when the Vedic concept of God is free from form and attributes.

Someone has introduced the concept of God with attributes and attributeless Gods are non-Vedic because Yajur Veda says: ~ 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. Therefore, all these add-ons prove that the form and attribute-based concepts are introduced by some sages of the past with a new belief system and code of conduct in the name of Vedas.

It clearly indicates that: -If the human goal is to acquire the Self -Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, then why one has to indulge in rituals and glorifying the conceptual Gods and Goddesses to go into deeper darkness. Instead, spend that time moving forward towards the Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, which is one’s prime goal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Many people think of themselves as Guru and he is competent to transmit Advaitic Gnana.+

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Among thousands of men, scarcely one strives for perfection; and of those who strive and succeed, scarcely one knows the ‘Self’ in truth.

The path of wisdom attracts only those who are in search of truth and they appreciate it greatly.

The ignorant are not spiritually matured the receive Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The ignorant indulge in argument and provocation and personal attack, which hinders their own realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Skill is required in every field to drive a car or ride a bicycle, preliminary training is required before a person is allowed to handle the vehicle but in the field of spirituality, the science of the Spirit, the Self, is the most difficult of all sciences.

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.

Sage Sankara says:~VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book-knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

Yoga Vasistha says:~ Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only by means of inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.

Remember:~

In ancient days, men were primitive in their thought so that a man having little knowledge was considered a genius.

Present days our knowledge is so advanced that the genius of those days would be an ordinary man of today. Therefore if one finds the truth, free his -Self from the tyranny of environment and tradition, not by condemning them but by examining and testing them by deeper self-search o find out whether they be true or not. Accept nothing on the authority of Godmen or genius of the past or present but only if it proves true after the examination.

Sticking to physical Guru or yogi sentimentally and emotionally will block Self- realization. No Guru can transmit wisdom to you. You have to do your own homework.

The like-minded people are always willing to examine facts and judge them calmly whereas the religious scholars and intellectuals will be immune to all facts and hold hard to their delusions. Such people do not want the truth, but only what pleases them. This is because of their egocentric attitude. Their attitude is “What pleases them is the truth what they dislike is false.

The worship or glorifying Gurus does not free one from ignorance. The rewards are none to them, the reward achieved in their lives is of consequence and not the result of worshiping and glorifying the Gurus.

People always need some sort of hope when their minds are not yet enlightened. "Self is closer to man than his own veins." "With the Self- Knowledge, one will begin to know the ultimate truth, so as to finally realize the fact that, the Self is not the form and becomes conscious that the ‘Self’ is the ‘Spirit’.

Most people lack the patience and perseverance in investigating and collecting all the data before judging: hence they assume Guru and Godmen are great because other people say so, or that he is wise because he himself says so, or that what he teaches is true because it attracts them. Such an attitude and easy assumptions become an obstacle to fold the truth and it requires some trouble to put into effect.

Even the best of the world’s Guru cannot transmit wisdom. Loud sermons consisting of a shower of ornamental words, the skill in expounding the egocentric knowledge, and likewise erudition ~ these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the Guru but are no good for Self-realization.

Remember:~

Many people think of themselves as Guru and he is competent to transmit Advaitic Gnana because ~

He has mastered the scriptures.

or

He has studied under a famous Guru

or

He has performed all religious rituals and leading orthodox oriented life and he has accumulated good karmas.

or

He has got a Ph.D. on world philosophy from a famous university

or

He is a scientist but he is also well versed in Vedas.

or

He is the disciple of the famous Guru

or

He has done penance in the Himalayas.

or

He has stayed without food for years

or

He has renounced worldly life and takes sanyasa

or

He has done lots of charity

He is well-versed in tantra and he got enlightenment through sex

or

His Guru given him the power of transmitting enlightenment to others

or

He is a hata yogi.

None of the above qualifies to acquire Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. From the Advaitic perspective, all these things have no value.

This ‘I’ know’ attitude is a great obstacle to acquiring Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seeker must get rid of this know attitude’ to realize the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’.

Humanity has to awaken to the reality of its true existence by realizing the world in which humanity exists is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness through Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana frees the Soul, the Self from the cage of the dualistic illusion or Maya

People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

The truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have to only realize 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.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.

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

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is hidden by ignorance. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
