Atmic path is the path to immortality.+

 

The truth-seekers are moving from ignorance to wisdom, from the dualistic illusion to the nondualistic Reality, from darkness to Light, and from death to Immortality.

The Upanishads say: ~

Mundaka Upanishad 1:2:8: ~ “Remaining in the fold of ignorance and thinking “we are extremely wise and learned,” the fools with boastful nature ramble about like the blind led by the blind alone.”

Mundaka Upanishad 3:2:3: ~ “The weak and timid cannot realize the Self. Self-Realization is not possible through intellect or hearing spiritual discourse. One who welcomes God in every activity, through a thorough controlled and disciplined life, to him also the Soul is revealed.

Katha Upanishad 1:2:23: ~ The Soul cannot be realized through hearing the scholarly explanation of the discourses, not even by the intellect.

Katha Upanishad 1:3:6: ~ “Through the knowledge of the Soul God, one is pure and clean constantly.” Neither by reading the books nor by taking a bath at the holy place has one become pure. Inner purity is possible when one remains in constant touch with the Soul. Constant Soul Consciousness is the real purity.

Kena Upanishad 2:4: ~ When it is known through every state of cognition, it is rightly known, for (by such knowledge) one attains life eternal. Through one's own Self, one gains power and through wisdom, one gains immortality.

Kena Upanishad 2:5: ~ If here one knows it, then there is the truth, and if there one knows it not, there is a great loss. Hence, seeing the Real in all beings, wise men become immortal on departing from this world.

The scriptures are being added to from time to time. This process will go on. There is the final authority among them? One contradicts the other: duality reigns supreme.

The Upanishads are Self-contradictory. Every pundit even gives conflicting interpretations of them. The final authority, therefore, is using one’s own reason. One should apply his reason to them.

The scriptures are for ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material world as it presents itself. Gnana is for those who have begun to realize that things are not what they seem.:

Atmic path is the path to immortality.

The ignorance is the cause of the ‘I’, which appears as the universe. Self-knowledge kills ignorance with its roots and branches.

The Soul is immortal. Ignorance is present in the form of ‘I’. The Soul is the pure consciousness without the division of the illusory form, time, and space.

In Soul, the whole universe is contained and none can pass beyond the Soul because the Soul is second to none.

This whole universe has arisen from the Soul. The Soul is the Ground of the universe. The Soul is awesome, like a hovering thunderbolt. Those who know the Soul as the 'Self' become immortal . . . .

If you realize the truth of your existence before your physical death then you are liberated from the idea of rebirth and reincarnation.

The birth, rebirth, and reincarnation theories belong to ignorance because, the Soul, the Self is the ever immortal because it is the birthless and deathless.

It is birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
