For a Gnani, the whole universe is nothing but consciousness.+

Having realized the truth hidden by the illusory form, time, and space, Gnani sees universe in which he exists as the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

For a Gnani, the whole universe is nothing but consciousness.

This universe is only the veil of ignorance on the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Self is not you but the Soul, which is hidden by the universe. The Soul is hidden by the universe because the universe is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Remember: ~

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

God in truth is the Atman, the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness.

Do not accept any other God other than Atman not worship other than Atman.

Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is and all else is an illusion.

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

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

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

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

A Gnani never knows any mantra in Vedic meter or any Tantra not he indulges in religious rituals or worship of religious Gods.

A Gnani sees no difference between happiness and misery, man and woman, Adversity, and success. Everything is seen to be the same.

A Gnani is not conflicted by the dualistic illusion. He is fully aware the Self is the fullness of consciousness.

Knowing for certain that all is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, the Gnani has never says: “I am this” or “I am not that.”

Sage who finds stillness is neither distracted nor focused. He knows pleasure, pain, and the world, is one, in essence. Ignorance dispelled, he is free of knowing.

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

Guru‘s interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit ~ none of these lead to the realization of that ultimate truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the Soul, the Self.

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.

A Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the ultimate truth has already been known.

By sticking to some Guru and surrendering to him, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Surrendering is a religious fable.

Surrendering is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. Surrender implies duality. There is no duality in reality.

Simply saying surrender without realizing the ultimate truth is like trying to sweeten the seawater by putting a spoon of sugar.

Guru’s sermons consisting of ornamental words merely to please the taste of the religious mindsets. Hence, the seeker of truth should earnestly set about realizing the truth hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

People are unaware of the fact that the world in which he exists is a product of ignorance. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the only remedy to get rid of ignorance.

There is no use of the religion, the religious Gods, Gurus, Yogis, and the Scriptures, rituals to acquire Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Ignorance does not leave off if one simply utters the name of Guru. Without direct realization, the Soul cannot be liberated by the mere repeating the name of the Guru or God.

The seeker has to remember the name belongs to the domain of the illusory form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
