Unless we bifurcate Buddha from Buddhism and Sage Sankara from Hinduism,the Advaita hidden by the Dvaita will not be revealed.+

Buddhists and Hindus are more concerned about protecting their culture and tradition or paramaparas and myths than the truth. 

Unless we bifurcate Bhagavan Buddha from Buddhism and Sage Sankara from Hinduism the Advaita (Soul), which is hidden by the Dvaita (ignorance) will not be revealed.

There is no need to argue Bhagavan Buddha is wrong and Sage Sankara is right but the seeker must find out where he is going wrong in understanding the great Sages of truth.

Bhagavan Buddha was a Gnani, not his followers. Bhagavan Buddha’s wisdom was lost, it is because it is mixed up and messed up with other religions in Asia wherever it existed. Bhagavan Buddha started the quest and Sage Sankara completed the journey.

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

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

The goal of the truth-seeker is to acquire Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is inherent in every seeker of truth. Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana does not come from outside, it is hidden within the world in which we exist.

Buddha is not physical. Buddha is the state where which is empty of the illusory division of form, time, and space. Buddha is the fullness of consciousness.

Buddhism is nothing to do with Bhagavan Buddha because Buddhism is physical. Buddhism is based on form, time, and space whereas Buddha is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

On a Nondualistic perspective, nothingness or emptiness is the real nature of the Soul the innermost Self. The Soul the innermost Self, is identified as nothingness or emptiness because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Everything is nothingness. Nothingness is everything and everything is nothingness. Nothingness is nonduality and everything is duality.

Nothingness is the real nature of the Soul the innermost Self and everything else is the unreal nature of the Soul. Nothingness is eternal because there is no second thing that exists other than nothingness, which is the nature of the Soul.

Dalai Lama said:~ Buddhism need not be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama (Soul) and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulburga).

The Buddhists are unaware of the fact that the Soul is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul because It is the very essence of the one who denies It. The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Self is within, the Self is without; the Self is before, the Self is behind; the Self is on the right, the Self is on the left; the Self is above and the Self is below. The Soul is everything. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Buddhists believe in emptiness but they are unaware of the fact that emptiness is the nature of the Soul.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theater, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

Bhagavan Buddha gave nondualistic wisdom whereas Buddhism has many teachings. Bhagavan Buddha’s wisdom was lost because it is buried under the diverse teaching of Buddhism.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality whereas Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world and he told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.

Buddhism did not prove the truth of nonduality because they do not believe in the existence of the Soul. Without the existence of the Soul talking of nonduality is like building a castle with the air.

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

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

Advaitic Sages disagree with Buddhists only on the Ultimate question, but they agree with their idealism fully.

Even when you say "I am not" you are thinking. Hence, every thought means positing some existence. To exist is to be thought of hence our criticism of Sunyavada which says there is nothing. In saying "There is nothing" they are unconsciously positing something. The thought of nothing is existence itself. Hence only by refraining from thought can they state their case. The thought itself is an object. The negation of existence is a thought.

The presence of an object means duality. Hence, this proves that the Sunyavadins never understood non-duality, i.e. Brahman.

Buddhism agrees in thinking that the ego sees itself; they do not admit there is anything that sees the ego: they say there is no proof that any witness exists. When thoughts are there, thoughts become conscious of them. Skandhas which appear and disappear are the object only Buddhists are unaware of the subject.

Only when we independently search the truth without the religion and its doctrine then we will be able to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Sage Sankara and Bhagavan Buddha have given the world a common message. The essence of both the Sages is: ~ The entire world which one perceives is illusionary; it is just an appearance of unreality and there are only one indeterminate and attributeless truth at the root of this world".

Bhagavan Buddha, Sage Sankara, and Sage Goudpada have declared nondualistic truth centuries back. The seeker has to reach the destination with scientific (rational investigation, not through punditry and intellectuality.

The seeker must do his homework, and verify the validity of all the claims, rather than blindly believe, what others expound as knowledge, till; the un-contradicted truth is obtained.

The seeker must have the courage of Bhagavan Buddha to accept the truth and reject the untruth. Since Bhagavan Buddha rejected religion, the idea of God and scriptures, therefore, it is evident that he has gone through every aspect and verified and found them to be inadequate and useless for the pursuit of truth.

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.

One has to mentally reach the final conclusion then only the conviction becomes firm. Without the firm conviction, 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.

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 knowledge uncontradictable truth or scientific truth. Thus their scientific truth of the whole, not the part is declared by Sage Sankara many centuries back and thought only to those of higher intellect. Thus, karma, Upasana, and 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

Only your intense urge to realize the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth+

Only your intense urge to realize the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

It is impossible for the seeker to discard the ‘I’ because they are stuck up with the idea that ‘I’ itself is the “Self’.

In the past, some famous Gurus and their teachings glorified the ‘I’ people take it as a final and accepted it as the ultimate truth. Such acceptance without verifying the fact about the ‘I’, their journey is incomplete. Blind acceptance and reverence to the guru will not help the seeker to get rid of the ignorance.

Firstly, doubt about this ‘I’, how it came into existence. There are no other means to the final goal is the realization of the source of the ‘I’. There is a need to understand, assimilate, and realize the nature of this ‘I’, which appears and disappears.

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’’ as the ‘I’ leads to hallucinations based on the imagination.

Those who are stuck with the ‘I-centric teaching never be able to cross the domain of the form, time, and space.

All the Gurus glorified the ‘I’. Thus, it becomes very difficult to discard the ‘I’. Those who have accepted the ‘I’ based teaching refuse to accept anything other than their accepted truth. Till you hold the ‘“Self’’ as the ‘I’, your knowledge remains skin deep.

The world in which you exist came into existence because of the ‘I’. The world, in which you exist ceases to exist without the ‘I’.

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

The ‘I’ is what the seeker begins his investigation. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ will help the seeker to reach the Soul, which is 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.

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

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The universe rises from the Soul, the innermost “Self’ like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the ‘Self’ to be “One” and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."

To enable the seeker to steer clear of any possible doubt, the seeker should take the Atmic path. The ‘I’ is the clue and study the nature of the ‘I’ and discover its source.

The 'Self' is not within you but the 'Self' is hidden in the world in which you exist. The one which is born, lives, and dies is not the ‘“Self’’ because the 'Self’ is the Soul, which the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, is nothing to do with you the world in which you exist. On the Standpoint of the Soul, the innermost “Self’, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.

The 'Self' is not within you because the 'Self' is not the body. If the ‘“Self’’ is not you, then why you think the 'Self’ is within you. Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that you and the world are within the Soul the 'Self’. a perfect understanding and assimilation lead to “Self’-realization.

Till you think you are an individual separate from this world you will remain in the realm of dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes. When the ignorance vanishes, then the duality never remains as a reality.

First, the seeker has to know ‘what is the subject’ and ‘what is the object’. Deeper self -search reveals the fact that”: the world in which we exist is an object to the formless subject. The formless subject is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Deeper verification reveals the fact that the object and the subject are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, the object only an illusion created out of the formless subject. The subject alone is real exists eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

There are no two ‘I’ as propagated by some Gurus. There is only one ‘I’, which appears and disappears.+

There are no two ‘I’ as propagated by some Gurus. There is only one ‘I’, which appears and disappears. There is only one Soul, the Self.

The Soul, the Self is not ‘I’ but the Soul, the Self is the witness of the coming and going, of the ‘I’. Thus, that appears and disappears as ‘I’ is not the Self.

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

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

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

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

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

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

That is why Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-65-. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

People refuse to accept anything other than their Gurus words. For them, their Gurus words are the ultimate truth. They do not accept anything else other than their accepted truth. There is no need to convince such a mindset.

Such a mindset is not fit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seekers of truth accept only the truth nothing but the uncontradictable truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Mentally reduce the universe as consciousness by realizing the universe is nothing but an illusion.+

 Mentally reduces the universe as consciousness by realizing the universe is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

To realize the God is hidden behind the illusory universe in which you exist, a perfect understanding of 'what is what' is needed.

Why you are struggling to realize this simple truth. There is no need to go from one mountain to another, one Guru to another, one Ashram to another, read books after books.

Realize the world, in which you exist is nothing but the consciousness. Without consciousness, the universe, in which you exist ceases to exist.

Thus, there no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, everything is consciousness whether it exists as the universe, in which you exist or without the universe, in which you exist.

A permanent view of the world as an illusion comes only after Soul centric reasoning; such knowledge cannot change. Where the seeker who is sufficiently sharpness he could grasp the unreal nature of the world by Soul-centric reasoning alone.

To know the whole truth, one must know the whole universe, otherwise, he gets only half-truth.

Remember:~

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

People speak of getting rid of conditioning or samskara, but they themselves are unaware of the fact that the universe in which they exist is the product of the inborn samskara or conditioning. The ignorance is the cause of the inborn samskara or conditioning which present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’.

The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that ‘I’ consciousness is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is present in form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality) Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. The Self –awareness is when the formless Soul or consciousness remains aware of its own non-dual true nature.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “Truly the dualism is the root of suffering. There is no other remedy for it than the realization that all this that we see is unreal and that the Soul, the innermost Self, is the one stainless reality, consisting of the consciousness”. 2:16

The sun, the moon, the stars, planets shine because of the Soul or Spirit. The Soul shines and all things else shine as a result. Everything in the universe reflects but that light of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. Merely knowing the truth is not enough to escape from the tangle of illusion.

The mind is in the form of the universe. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion. The illusion arises from ignorance.

Enlightenment comes with detachment from the illusion by realizing the experience of the form, time and space are one in essence.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The Self is pure awareness though through ignorance the ‘Self has imagined itself to have additional attributes. By continually reflecting like this, the Self’s dwelling place is in the unimagined. 2:17

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “For the 'Self' there is neither bondage nor liberation. The illusion has lost its basis and ceased. Truly all this exists in the Self though ultimately it does not even exist in the Self. 2:18

By saying I know the truth; I know Brahman is not wisdom. The truth is found only in the unity of understanding that is the knowledge of both matter and spirit. That is the matter and the spirit are one in essence. And that essence is the spirit, which is present in the form of the Soul or consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Find out:~ What is it that appears as duality and what is it that disappear nonduality?+

Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead to the final Goal”. (Commentary on Vedanta Sutra)

Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification.

‘WHO AM ‘I’? and ‘I AM THAT are only stages. They are helpful at the beginning of the pursuit of truth. As the seeker advances in his quest for truth, he finds them inadequate and useless.

The inner journey will not end with ‘WHO AM ‘I’? and ‘I AM THAT the journey is incomplete. It is WHO AM ‘I’? and ‘I AM THAT teaching are final because they are only based on the form and they omit the time and space.

The journey will be completed only when we discover the truth of the whole that is the form, time, and space together. Thus, sticking to WHO AM ‘I’? and ‘I AM THAT teaching as final and stopping the journey is a foolish venture. If you are a serious seeker of truth and you want to realize the truth of your true existence then you must ready to drop what is not needed in pursuit of truth. Nothing has to be accepted without deeper verification.

If the ‘I’ be 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.

All the teachings are useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.

The seeker has to dive deeper and deeper in order to unfold the mystery of his true existence.

The basic purpose of seeking the truth is to discover the truth of our true existence. The truth of our true existence will be revealed only by discovering the source of physical existence. Physical existence means the universe.

First, analyze the universe. How this universe came into existence. And what this universe supposed to be in truth.

As you go deeper and deeper analyzing you will discover that the universe is dependent on the ‘I’. Without the ‘I’ the universe ceases to exist.

The ‘I’ is the main ingredient to investigate.

As you go deeper you will find: ~

The ‘I’ appears along with the universe.

The ‘I’ disappears along with the universe.

As you go still deeper you will find;~

The ‘I’ is there only when the mind is there.

The ‘I’ appears along with the mind.

The ‘I’ disappears along with the mind.

As you go deeper you will find: ~

The mind appears along with the universe.

The mind disappears along with the universe.

As you go deeper you will find: ~

The universe appears along with waking experience

The universe disappears along with the waking experience.

As you go deeper you will find: ~

The dream universe appears along with the dream.

The dream universe disappears along with the dream.

The dream is a parallel waking experience

The waking experience is a parallel dream.

As you go deeper you will find: ~

‘I’ disappears in deep sleep.

Along with the ‘I', the mind disappears.

Along with ‘I', the universe disappears.

Along with ‘I', the waking disappears.

Along with the ‘I’ dream disappears.

So,

‘I’ is one behind the mind.

The ‘I’ is the one behind the universe.

The ‘I’ is the one behind the waking.

The ‘I’ is the one behind the dream.

So,

Where this ‘I’ disappeared in deep sleep.

As you go deeper you will find: ~

The duality is present only when ‘I’ is present.

The duality is present only when the mind is present.

The duality is present only when the universe is present.

The duality is present only when the waking is present.

The duality is present only when the dream is present.

Remember:~

The duality is absent in deep sleep.

The ‘I’ is absent in deep sleep.

The mind is absent in deep sleep.

The universe is absent in deep sleep.

The waking is absent in deep sleep.

The dream is absent in deep sleep.

So,

In deep sleep, there is only non-duality.

So, you have to find out: What is it that appears as duality, and what is it that disappears nonduality?

~ It is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is the cause of the ‘I’ and it itself is uncaused. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

The seeker of truth must discard the holy business of Gurudom in order to get Self-realization.+

The seeker of truth must discard the holy business of Gurudom in order to get Self-realization.

Gurudom is nothing to do with Advaitic wisdom. Gurudom belongs to religion and yoga.

Religion and yoga are nothing to do with spirituality. Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality.

Unless you bifurcate religion and yoga from spirituality there is no hope of getting Self-realization.

All the Advaitic Gurus of the east and west propagate Advaita on a dualistic and orthodox perspective thus, they are inadequate and useless to acquire Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

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.

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

Thus, the above passage proves that all those who were the sannyasin 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.

Remember:~

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.

Swami Vivekananda:- This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself, to your own mind does not befit you, the Soul. Self is infinite, deathless, and birthless. Because the Self is infinite Spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake!

Swami Vivekananda: ~ Worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly; love him all you will, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation.

That is why Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”

The Gurudom may succeed to a limited extent in the West by appealing to the emotions of western people by creating a new cult with diverse theories of Hinduism. The ultimate truth is beyond religion, yoga, and scriptures.

When the ‘Self is not you but the Soul why you are thinking of the physical Guru worshiping 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.

Remember:~

This idea of worshiping God in human form, Gurus as God is not a Vedic idea but adopted from Jainism and Buddhism.

Vedas bars human worship: ~

Yajurveda:~ "They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal Prakrthi -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the Prakrthi, 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.)

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

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

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

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

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

Remember:~

People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that the world was created by God. But how do they know that He did so? When a pot is created, one can see both pot and its maker, but not in the case of the world.

By believing and worshiping what is not truth (God), one is in the prison of the dualistic illusion. Truth realization or Self-realization is God-realization. Self-realization itself is real worship.

A person who realized the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and all religious identity and lives like a commoner.

A Gnani never identifies himself as a Gnani nor does he identify himself 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.

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

Remember:~

People assume Guru or 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.

All the Gurus and yogis are holy people who belong to religion and yoga, not spirituality. Advaitic Gnana is nothing to do with the Gurus, yogis, pundits, and priests.

Advaitic Gnana is not for those who believe in religion, religious Gods, and stuck up with religious rituals and ceremonies.

Religious believers are not truth-seekers because they have accepted their religious belief as to the ultimate truth.

Advaitic Gnana is knowledge of the Spirit, the God in truth. God in truth is Advaita, the one without the Second.

Those who claim to be holy people get themselves worshiped as God are ignorant because they are unaware of the fact that the world in which they exist is a dualistic illusion or Maya.

Devotion to the physical Guru will not yield Advaitic Gnana because you and your physical gurus are part and parcel of the dualistic illusion. You have to transcend the dualistic illusion by getting rid of the ignorance through Advaitic Gnana. Advaitic Gnana comes only through a perfect understanding of ‘what is what.

Those seekers who refuse to accept other than their Gurus world are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge. Their ‘I KNOW’ attitude blocks them from accepting anything other than what they know as the ultimate truth.

By worshiping Gods in human form, repeating mantras is like watering barren soil.

The seeker of truth should not waste life in empty formalities. Without realizing the world in which he exists is merely an illusion it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

By following Gurus and sticking to physical Gurus one will not get Self-realization or God-realization.

The Soul, the inner Guru reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready. People of small intelligence follow Gurudom and get entangled with dualistic garbage.

By believing and worshiping what is not truth (God), one is in the prison of the dualistic illusion. Truth realization or Self-realization is God-realization. Self-realization itself is real worship.

A person who realized the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and all religious identity and lives like a commoner.

A Gnani never identifies himself as a Gnani nor does he identify himself 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.

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