Sage Sankara said: -Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way.(1) VivekaChudamani v 56, pg 25
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 to a Guru who is not a Gnani?
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 another type of meditation.
The seeker has to do a mental effort of perfect understanding and assimilation of what is truth and what is untruth to reach the effortless state.
Ornamental words of the Gurus will not help you to reach the ultimate end of understanding and realization of the truth.
No Guru can transmit wisdom to you. You have to work out your own salvation.
Tripura Rahasya: ~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self-gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that. Realize yourself, turning your attention inward. (18: 89)
All accumulated Advaitic knowledge accumulated from different Gurus will not yield the truth because they are not verified the truth.
Neither by listening to the preachers nor by the study of scriptures, neither by meritorious deeds nor by any other means can one acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The seeker has to do his homework to realize the truth, which is hidden by ignorance.
There is no practice as such but perfect understanding is needed. The truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance.
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 because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’- is needed.
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.
Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.
People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.
“It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’.
It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. :~Santthosh Kumaar
