Existence is nondual. Nonduality cannot be described by means of words for all uses of language fail to express it.

Nonduality is sought to be indicated by the negation of duality (illusory universe).

Sage Sankara says:~ How can the talk of diversity, dvaita, apply to the Supreme Reality which is one and homogeneous, Advaita? Who has ever observed diversity, dvaita, in the unmixed bliss of the state of profound sleep?

There is nothing the seeker has to practice to realize the Self hidden by ignorance. Only through perfect understanding, and assimilating 'what is what', Self-realization is possible.

It is not a transformation that is called for, not an evolution. It is pure awakening – the rising of the sun of knowledge.

The scriptural mastery, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The ultimate truth is revealed in the clear understanding and realization of ‘what is truth and ‘what is untruth. When one realizes the untruth (universe) is created out of single stuff, Self-awareness rises in the midst of duality exposing the unreal nature of the form, time, and space.

Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)

The reasoning is interpretable in two ways. The egocentric interpretation is to apply it only to the waking experience. The soulcentric interpretation is to apply it to the three states. The latter leads to the final settlement of the problems because it takes all data into consideration.

As we keep digging deeper and deeper, the truth will shine as pure awareness in the midst of the duality (waking).

The Soul, the Self is our ultimate teacher. It is only our inner teacher that will walk with us to the goal, for the soul is the goal.

From the ultimate standpoint, there is no teacher, there is no teaching and there is no student.

What is the use of discussing about the religious robe within the unreal world? Instead, one has to find how this world is unreal (illusion). In the Atmic discussion, the body and the world are merely an illusion. Why discuss about the robe (body), when the Self is not the body.

When the expression itself is illusory the evolution within the illusory expression is bound to be an illusion.

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 three states, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the three states will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same three states. Each one interprets the three states that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego and therefore experiences birth, life, karma, 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 consciousness.

Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman to know the truth propagated by the ancient sages of the truth. The sages of truth are not religious gurus or saints.

Sage Sankara himself had often said that his Advatic wisdom was based on Shruti, or revealed scripture. This may be because Sage Sankara addressed the ordinary man, who finds security in the idea of causality and thus in the idea of God—and Revelation is indispensable to prove the latter. He believed that those of superior intelligence, have no need of this idea of divine causality, and can therefore dispense with Sruti and arrive at the truth of Non-Dualism by pure reason. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
