The Soul, the Self is not within your body because you, your body, and the world in which you exist are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.+

The Soul, the Self is not within your body because you, your body, and the world in which you exist are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

There is only one Soul, which is the Self to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by ignorance.

Self-discovery is the only way, toward the non-dualistic absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusory universe in which we all are searching for the truth of existence.

There is no higher or lower Self. There is only one Self which is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness alone is real and all else an illusion.

Mentally hold on to the Soul and drop the illusion. And rest in the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Realizing the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul as the Self is Self-realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The essence of the Advatic wisdom of Sage Sankara is that liberation will never come without realizing the Oneness.+

The essence of the Advatic wisdom of Sage Sankara is that liberation will never come without realizing the Oneness.

Oneness is the nature of the Soul, the Self. Oneness means Advaita or nonduality.

When the universe appears the duality appears. When there is duality then there is no Oneness. When there is Oneness there is no duality.

By saying I and you are one the Oneness will not arise.

There is no Oneness in the realm of ignorance.

There is no Oneness when ‘I’ is present.

There is no Oneness when the mind is present.

There is no Oneness when the dualistic illusion is present.

There is no Oneness when the universe is present.

There is no Oneness when the waking or dream is present.

There is no Oneness when the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is present.

There is conscious Oneness in the midst of the dualistic illusion when Advaitic wisdom dawns. :~Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom reveals the 'Self' hidden by the illusory universe.+

All the doubts and confusions are prevails until the illusory universe (duality) is accepted as reality.

All the doubts and confusions vanish when the cause of the illusory universe is found.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom reveals the 'Self' hidden by the illusory universe.

The universe is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Sage Sankara says you must first know what is before you. If you cannot know that, what else can you know or understand? If you give up the external world in your inquiry, you cannot get the whole truth.

Remember:~

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, are 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, consciousness still remains without form, time, and space.

Sage Sankara’s wisdom reveals: ~ Atman is the only one ultimate reality or Brahman God in truth.

Advaita means the Soul, the Self, which is second to none. The Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Advaita is the nature of God, the Self. Advaita is God in truth. Advaita is the fullness of consciousness.:~Santthosh Kumaar

In Spirituality or Adythma, the word Athma refers to existence (Astithva). Athma is not yourself.+

The word 'Self' is a misnomer. There is no proper word for Athma in English. Translators used the Self for Athma.

First, realize yourself is the ego and the real Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

In Spirituality or Adythma, the word Athma refers to existence (Astithva). Athma is not yourself.

You will always remain in a state of ignorance until you realize the Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Remember:~

Until you know What ‘Self is in actuality all your accumulated knowledge is garbage of ignorance.

If you hold the Self within you then you are holding the ego as the Self.

The Soul, the Self is not within you because it pervades everything and everywhere in the universe.

The Soul, the Self is hidden by the universe. When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is 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: ~ “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.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC-63- Without knowing and examining the universe, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress.

Sage Sankara says:~ VC-47 - All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

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

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation. :~Santthosh Kumaar

Swami Vivekananda: ~ Worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly but think for yourself. Work out your own salvation.+

People assume Guru or God men 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 folding the truth and it requires some trouble to put into effect.

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, and 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.

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

Yogis and Guru are not Gods.

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

Vedas bar human worship: ~

Yajurveda:~

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

~ Then why worship and glorify the Gurus and Yogis (human form) in place of God when Veda bars such activities and 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.

If you are trading the Atmic path then remember: ~

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

~ then why do 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 do you indulge in studying philosophies.

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

~then why do you indulge in rituals.

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

~then why do you indulge in yoga.

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: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads to truth- realization.

Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the innermost Self that 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. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
