Katha Upanishad: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one The Soul reveals its own form.+

 

Sage Sankara has religious, rituals, and dogmatic instruction to the orthodox populace, but Advaitic wisdom only to the few who could rise to it. Hence the interpretation of his writings by commentators is often confusing because they mix up the two viewpoints. Thus, they may assert that ritual is a means of realizing Brahman, which is absurd.

Sage Goudapada quotes from the Upanishads: ~ "There's no plurality here." "The Soul through its powers appears to be many." "Those who are attached to the creation or production or origination go to utter darkness." "The unborn is never reborn, for what can produce it?”

 

Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

Mundaka Upanishad: ~ “The study of the Vedas, linguistics, Rituals, astronomy and all the arts Can be called lower knowledge. The higher Is that which leads to Self-realization. The eye cannot see it; the mind cannot grasp it. The deathless Self has neither caste nor race, Neither eyes not ears nor hands nor feet. Sages say this Self is infinite in the great And in the small, everlasting and changeless, The source of life.

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: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one The Soul reveals its own form. (Ch-II -23-P-20)

So, you are the chosen one. Come ye slow, or come ye fast; it is but the Soul, the Advaita that reveals itself at last.

There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which we exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousnessConsciousnessss is real and eternal.

It is your sincerity and seriousness that will make you reach the ultimate end of understanding and realization.

Your devotion to the goal to realize the truth and perfection will make you acquire the Advaitic wisdom.

Millions are searching for the truth, but one in a million will realize it. If you are a truth seeker then you are, one from that million.

Only if one who has an inner urge to realize the truth of his existence must tread the path of wisdom. It is better to move on his chosen path which gives him satisfaction.

You may find it difficult in the first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’.

As you raft upon which you cross the swift river to get to the other side; once you are on the other side of the shore; there is no longer any need to carry the raft. The far shore is the reality when you reach it, you can see quite clearly that there was never any river at all.

The Soul, the inner Guru will guide you to get rid of ignorance.

Everyone’s inner work is on. Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.

Even you may find it difficult in the first as you go on reading the post his subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Swami Vivekananda: ~Jñāna Yoga is divided into three parts. First:- Hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya. Second:- Reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third:- Giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.

Your urge is at the seed level. As you go on reading the words of wisdom it will start growing. It takes time for the egocentric subconscious to accept the Soulcentric truth. The Truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. There is no need to search for the truth because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth.

Only when the conviction of the Soul becomes firm then only you will be able to accept the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness. They cease to exist without consciousness.

You have to think and reason deeply Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of the consciousness.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’- is needed. Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what,’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is the truth?” and ‘What is the untruth?. Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Advaitic self-awareness.

I can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work. It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what.

People need to read and hear the words of wisdom, think reason, reflect deeply, and reach the ultimate end. You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness.

You have to think and reason deeply. It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what.

People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think deeply and reach the ultimate end. Everyone’s inner work is on.

Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.

Even though you may find it difficult at first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. It is your intense urge that will take you to the ultimate goal. Patience and humility will help you to reach what you are seeking. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
