There is a need to repeat the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality.+

It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance. It takes time for one realizes the 'Self' hidden by ignorance.

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

When you enthrone the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness in your subconscious then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusory play of consciousness.

Slowly but surely you must imbibe the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space by realizing the form, time and space are one in essence.

Consciousness is ‘One’, and all divisions of the form, time, and space are illusory. Be established in this Advaitic Truth, which is eternal.

The path of wisdom is divided into three parts:~

First:- Hearing the truth--that the consciousness is the only reality and that the universe along with you merely an illusion or Maya. 

Second:- Reasoning upon these words of wisdom of Sage Sankara from all points of view. 

Third:~ Giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. 

Remember:~

There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. consciousness alone is real and eternal the universe is merely an illusion. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

When you realize you and your experience of the world are made of the single stuff and that single stuff is the consciousness with full and firm conviction then there is unity in diversity in your understanding. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

It is the ignorance that creates illusion and it is the ‘Soul, the Self’ that gets free of it. The words may aggravate ignorance; words may also help dispel it. There is a need to repeat the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality.

The seeker has to reflect on the nature of the Soul constantly until the conviction of the truth becomes firm. The seeker needs to hear the words of wisdom until he realizes the form, time and space are one in essence.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is 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 beyond the form, time, and space.

The Soul has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and then only it is possible to realize the form, time and space are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. If the form time and space are one in essence, then there is no division in consciousness. If there is no division in consciousness, then there no duality, if there is no duality then there is unity in diversity.

Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion as reality. By realizing Soul as the Self, leads to Advaitic Self-awareness. The Soul, the Self is Absolute Knowledge, which cannot be negated. The nature of the Soul is Advaitic awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Soul becomes the whole universe (duality in waking). The whole universe becomes the Soul (nonduality in deep sleep).+

The Soul becomes the whole universe (duality in waking). The whole universe becomes the Soul (nonduality in deep sleep).

When the ‘Self is not you but the Soul why you are thinking of the physical Guru worship and glorify him.

Such an act keeps you permanently in ignorance.

Come out of the religious conditioning by realizing the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

If you are unable to come out of the Guru/disciple game you are not qualified for Advaitic wisdom.

The ignorance will not vanish by having a Guru. By becoming a disciple of some Guru, it not possible to get Self-realization.

Remember:~

Self-Knowledge is achievable without the grace of any Guru or conceptual God or the mercy of some Godmen. The seeker has to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are made of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. To realize this simple truth, there is no need for any Guru.

Do not waste time and effort in finding a Guru. If you are searching for the truth about your existence then no Guru is needed.

Gurudom belongs to religion and yoga, not spirituality. If you are seeking truth then you have to tread the path alone.

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 through 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.

There is no need to condemn Gurus, but there is a need to highlight how they become an obstacle in realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.

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.”

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.

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

If you are seeking truth nothing but the truth then you must not get stuck to any Guru or yogi. Those who are seeking truth need not follow any Guru or any teaching.

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

Guru is needed in the religious and yogic path. The Soul is the inner Guru. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the source of all that exists as the universe. To realize the universe is consciousness there is no need for Guru.

Vedas bar human worship: ~

"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.)

Then why worship and glorify the Guru s 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 the real God. Thus, Self-realization is the only way to God-realization.

By worshipping 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.

Guru, scriptures, and religion are not of any use in the path of Wisdom. The ignorance will not vanish by having a Guru. Without direct realization, one cannot be liberated by becoming a disciple of some Guru.: ~

Santthosh Kumaar

A Gnani does not transmit Gnana but he shares the pointers, which help the seekers to realize the truth which is hidden by ignorance.+

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, 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.

Remember:~

A Gnani is neither anyone’s gurus nor anyone’s disciple. A Gnani respects all the Sages of the past and highlights good points in their teaching and he also highlights how their wisdom obstacles, which block the realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

A Gnani does not transmit Gnana but he shares the pointers to realize the truth. These pointers help the seekers to realize the truth which is hidden by ignorance.

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.

There is no need for a guru to know that you and your guru and the world in which you exist are created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of that single stuff is the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Gnana is given neither from outside nor from another person.

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

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.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to study the Scriptures, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~ then why you indulge in studying the scriptures.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to study philosophy, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~then why you indulge in studying philosophies.

Sage Sankara says: ~ There is no need to indulge rituals, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

~then why you indulge in rituals.

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

~then why you indulge in yoga.

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.

There is nothing to realize other than realizing the fact that, you and the world in which you exist are created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness. Thus, by realizing this truth the Soul becomes free from the cage of the illusory form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Only when you learn to view and reason the worldview from the standpoint of the Soul then the truth will start revealing.+

It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance. It takes time for one realizes the 'Self' hidden by ignorance.

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

When you enthrone the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness in your subconscious then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusory play of consciousness.

Slowly but surely you must imbibe the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space by realizing the form, time and space are one in essence.

Consciousness is ‘One’, and all divisions of the form, time, and space are illusory. Be established in this Advaitic Truth, which is eternal.

Remember:~

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ helps you to transcend into the formless substance of the world in which you exist. The substance of the world in which you exist is consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the real ‘Self’ and the eternal identity.

When the seeker learns to view and judge the worldview on the base of formless Soul as the ‘Self’ then the waking experience, which is experienced as reality becomes unreal. The same way as the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place.

The waking experience is based on the ‘ego’. You are the ego but the Self is not the ego but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The ego is the false ‘Self’ within the false experience.

You are born, live, and die within the world. The world in which you exist appears as the waking experience (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The dream is a parallel waking experience and the waking experience is a parallel dream.

Within the waking experience, you view and judge the worldview as a person. If you want to realize the truth you must realize the ‘‘Self’’ is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the ‘Soul’, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Only when you learn to view and reason the worldview on the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’, the truth will start revealing on its own.

You cannot attain truth while existing in the empirical base and you cannot conduct your worldly activities in the transcendental base. Both life and truth are important. Life has to be lived and you have to reach the truth to overcome the burden and the bondage of the illusory experience of birth, life, and death (duality). Therefore, the seeker has to develop soulcentric reasoning faculty to judge the dual and non-dual experiences, in order to discover and realize ‘what truth is’ and ‘what is untruth’.

Without knowing what is untruth it is impossible to accept the truth which is beyond form, time, and space.

Deeper Self-search helps the seeker to discover and realize the fact that, From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the waking experience is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

The one that appears as waking experience, the one that appears the dream, and one that remains without the waking or the dream is nothing but consciousness. The appearance and disappearance are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. In reality, the three states are non-existent as a reality.

All the three states are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The difference between duality and nonduality is, the duality is merely an illusion created out of non-dualistic stuff. There is no such thing as duality in reality because the reality is nondualistic.

On the standpoint of the Soul, all the appearance itself is an illusion. The Soul, which I present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal

One who has not learned to view and reason the worldview on the base of the Soul, the ‘Self’ will not be able to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. :~ Santthosh Kumaar

Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal.+

Advaita is the treasure hidden by the Dvaita. Advaita is the Soul, the Self, and the Dvaita is the ‘I’. Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Dvaita is present in the form of the universe.

Sage Sankara says:~ A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.

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 Maya.

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, is burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

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

Remember

Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal.

Sage Sankara said ~ “Atman is Brahman ~ “That is the Soul is the ultimate reality.

Sage Sankara said ~ “The world is an illusion ~ that is the world in which you exist is an illusion.

Mentally hold on to the real and discard the unreal by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate reality. Whatever existed as the illusion is nothing but consciousness?

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

If the ‘Self is not you then the world in which you exist is nothing to do with the Self. The world in which you exist is a reality till you hold the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’.

On the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is an illusion.

You have to mentally discard the ‘I’, which is an illusion.

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

To acquire Advaitic Gnana: ~

The seeker must First:- Realize the truth ~ that the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the only reality and the world in which he exists is an illusion.

Second:- Soulcentric reasoning upon from all points of view.

Third:- Giving up all further argumentation based on the ‘I’ and realizing the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’.

This realization comes from being certain that the Soul alone is real and the ‘I’ is unreal.

Stick to the truth.

If one wants to acquire Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana or ‘Self’- Knowledge or knowledge of consciousness, one has to drop all ritualistic and orthodox baggage to move forward in their pursuit of truth.

We have to grow from the inside out. None can teach us, none can make us spiritual. There is no other guru but the Soul the Self.”

Self-knowledge or Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana cannot be attained by one who is without strength or earnestness or without the receptiveness and courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth. If a serious seeker strives sincerely by means of inquiry, analysis, and soul-centric reasoning, he will be able to realize it.

It is only seekers sincerity and earnestness in his spiritual pursuit, the knowledge started revealing on its own. Anyone who has humility and patience and is sincere and ready to drop their accumulated dross and receptive to accept the truth will enter non-dualistic Self-Awareness when his conviction becomes firm. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Pointers in my blogs help the seekers to think on their own and assimilate the Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+

To realize the ultimate Truth or Brahman demands deeper thinking and reasoning. For those who require mental spoon-feeding, it is difficult to grasp. It is only possible to finger point to the reality and indicate the direction. It is not possible to make one realize the truth; it is for the seeker to verify through, Soulcentric reasoning and realize it.

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 till 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 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 beyond the form, time, and space.

The seekers who will approach with receptiveness as they should be approached may conceivably pause at any time and say, these pointers are helping them to think on their own and assimilate the Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, in a proper and perfect way. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Without the ego you and the world in which you exist cease to exist.+

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remember:~

How is one to know the real Self? To think of the Soul the Self as an object, as something that can be known and experienced is a fallacy.

All that is known within the waking or dream is a fallacy because the three states are objects to the Soul which is the formless subject. The subject (Soul) is within the object but it is without the object.

The Soul is always formless, timeless, and spaceless existence, because it is not an entity or identity within the waking or dream it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states.

People think that to withdraw from all sense-activity or from all thoughts or from worldly experiences, i.e., to cease to be active, is the highest state but it is not so.

All the senses, thoughts, and individual experiences, and the world are present only in waking or dream. The waking or the dream (duality) disappears as the deep sleep (nonduality).

Thus, what becomes dual and nondual experience is most important than inquiring ‘WHO AM I?’ or saying ‘I AM THAT’ or affirming I AM BRAHMAN. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Seer and the Seen.+

 

The ‘Seer’ can never be the ‘Seen’. The subject can never become the object. But the most subtle and salient point is that there is no object, ‘the ‘Seen’ at all.

The Soul is the Seer and the dualistic illusion is the Seen. The dualistic illusion appears as the ‘I'. the ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

In reality, the ‘Seer’ and ‘Seen’ are created out of a single clay. that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

There is no duality in reality because there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus the consciousness alone is real and eternal the ‘I’ is an illusion. The illusion has no value in reality.

The Seer and the Seen.

The Seer is the subject and Seen is an object.

The Seer is the Soul, the innermost Self.

The Seen is the ‘I'.

The ‘I’ appears and disappears.

The Soul sees the appearance and disappearance of the ‘I’.

The Soul is permanent and real.

The ‘I’ is impermanent because it appears and disappears.

This is your bondage, that you hold the Self as the ‘I'.

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

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self.

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

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

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

Sage Sankara says ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads truth realization.

Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the innermost Self is non-dual because there is no second thing that exists other than the Atman. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and space is merely an illusion.

There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ cease to exist without consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Consciousness’ is one without the second. Diversity is merely an illusory division in consciousness.+

People who are not digested Advaitic wisdom think that awareness is prior to the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul or consciousness, or awareness, is one and the same thing. Those who are stuck up in their intellectual wealth will never be able to cross the ocean of ignorance.

Intellectuals are still using dualistic lenses and they think they know the non-dualistic truth. This ‘I know business blocks their realization of Advaita.

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 higher or lower consciousness. Consciousness is one without the second.

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

Consciousness’ is one without the second. Diversity is merely an illusory division in consciousness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remember:~

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

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

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