Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find the truth. Ignorant become wiser when he realzes with the full and firm conviction that the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate truth and sees the universe in which he exists as an illusion created out of consciousness.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Do not accept any other truth other than the consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, Nothing is real but consciousness, Nothing Matters but realizing the ultimate truth. Consciousness is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
Consciousness is hidden by the illusory universe. Lift the veil of ignorance to find God in truth.
So-called spiritual paths are useless unless it causes us to seek the truth of our true existence. All controversies about creation, the nature of the universe, evolution, the purpose of God, etc., are useless in the Atmic path.
Bhagavan Buddha: ~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.
99% of People are more interested in finding out solutions for their problems in their practical life within the practical world. Atmic path is nothing to do with the practical life within the practical world. Thus, they follow the religious path.
Sage Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.
Remember:~
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 consciousness. Consciousness is real and eternal.
All my blogs and postings are the verified truth. As one goes on reading, all his doubts and confusion will start clearing. It takes some time to be receptive to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is Soulcentric knowledge whereas all accumulated knowledge is egocentric.
I am highlighting all the obstacles in the inner journey and how to overcome these obstacles. All accumulated knowledge is of no use in the path of wisdom.
It is for every seeker, who is on the path of wisdom to realize himself “What is the truth? “and “What is untruth?” to assimilate the Self–Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
My postings are only signposts. The seeker needs to reflect constantly on the subject until the cobwebs of his doubts and confusion get cleared.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the 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.
The inner Sage will guide you with love. Your sincerity and seriousness lead you to the inner core.
As you keep reading the old posts and also the new posts you will find answers to all your doubts and confusion.
As you try to find answers independently, the inner revelation will start and you will be able to move on your own.
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 truth, but one in million will realize it. you are, one from that million.
The inner 'Self' reveals‘ what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’.
Remember:~
There is a need for an atmosphere of free will; wherein deeper ‘Self’-search is the order of the day. The more one indulges in deeper self-search, he learns and can grasp the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
This helps the seeker of truth to be inquisitive and opens his vistas and dialogue with like-minded fellow seekers. The dialogue between the religious, yogic, and non-religious will not help to unfold the mystery of the ‘I’ which itself is the cause of the ignorance.
As what is important is the truth of the existence is first and then the rest in the Atmic path. The Seeker of truth needs to work toward, how he has to find answers to all his doubts and confusions. Most people consider the ultimate truth as a threat to their religious beliefs.
The ultimate aim of the human being is to find and realize the truth and work towards it rather than fight that one has the truth to oneself and that other truths are wrong or inferior. Realization of the truth of one’s true existence is an important factor as mankind is caught up in the crossroads of the witness wars and terrorism in the name of fundamentalism.
There are three kinds of aspirants: ~
1. The ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices follow a religion.
2. Middling intellect who desire peace and well-being follows a yogic path or meditation.
3. The most advanced seeker who seeks to know the ultimate truth follows the Atmic path. The Atmic path with its emphasis on the Advaitic wisdom is meant for those who wish to go beyond form, time, and space.
Only through deeper self-search do beginners and intermediates gradually become aware of ‘what is what’. Only after they have realized the fact that the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, are they ready for the inner journey towards reality, which is beyond the form, time and space.
Upanishad:~ They alone in this world are endowed with the highest wisdom who are firm in their conviction of the sameness and birthlessness of Atman. The ordinary man does not understand their way. (Chapter IV — Alatasanti Prakarana 95-P-188 in Upanishads by Nikilanada)
If you are seeking truth you have to know the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Sage Sankara, indicated in Bhaja Govindam says: - [Jnana Viheena Sarva Mathena Bajathi na Muktim janma Shatena] - one without knowledge does not obtain liberation even in a hundred births, no matter which religious faith he follows.
Then it is no use going a roundabout way, trace the Brahman which is the formless substance and witness of the universe, which is in the form of the mind. By tracing the source of the mind or universe one will be able to realize the Brahman.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant only for those who have an intense urge, and courage to accept the truth with humility and reject the untruth. Since people start comparing their scriptural knowledge, it becomes impossible to assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. Therefore, there is no need to convince anyone other than our own selves to get a firm conviction.
So they clearly indicate rituals and theories are not meant for those who are searching for higher knowledge or wisdom. The path of wisdom is the only means.
SageSankara says the world is an illusion, it includes birth, life, and death, which happens within the world. Thus, the seeker's main aim is to mentally trace the formless substance of the illusion, which is also the witness of the illusion.
Sage Sankara indicates in (VC):- 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by work, nor by learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation possible, and by no other means.
58. Loud speech consisting of a shower of words, the skill in expounding the Scriptures, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar but are no good for Liberation.
59. The study of the Scriptures is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.
60. The Scriptures consisting of many words are a dense forest that merely causes the mind to ramble. Hence men of wisdom should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.
63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.
65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it, and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.
66. Therefore the wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and deaths.
Thus, Sage Sankara clearly indicated that - yoga, intellectualism, and scriptural mastery is not the means to self-knowledge. But by the realization of one's identity with consciousness, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman, freedom from experiencing the illusion as reality is possible, and by no other means.
It is necessary to repeat the same truth again and again till it becomes reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
