When you will start thinking independently then the inner revelation will start clearing all the obstacles.+

The seekers must have an intense urge to know and realize the truth and be ready to investigate and accept only the truth derived from deeper investigation and drop the untruth after realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Heredity habitual beliefs and inherited religious knowledge are based on the ego.

The ego is the false self (you) within the false experience (waking).

The three states are based on the ego, which is the false self within the false experience.

Whatever is based on the ego is falsehood, because the ego (you) is not the Self.

Seekers of truth must have an independent attitude not accepting anything as truth without verification and verifying the facts through inquiry, and analysis followed by sound reasoning.

An independent attitude has been discouraged by organized religion, for fear of destabilizing the obedient faith that has been needed to maintain their social order in society. Accordingly, there has been a tendency to discourage the truth other than religious truth based on blind belief in the past.

Thus, the ultimate truth was systematically kept away from the mass.

In the modern world, education is far more widespread, and independent questioning is encouraged from a much earlier stage of education. More and more people started getting interested in acquiring Self -knowledge.

One has to discover the truth, understand, assimilate and realize the truth.

The seeker has to pave his own spiritual path toward the unspeakable nature of the Soul, which is present in the form the consciousness.**

 The ‘Self’ is not an individual. Holding the ‘self’ as an individual misleads and confuses you. And one thinks that the ‘‘Self’’ to be the physical entity.

Inquiring, and analyzing with Soulcentric reasoning is turned directly in, reflecting back from physical existence (mind) to the innermost core of existence, which is consciousness.

By verifying each state of experience from the Soul, the standpoint of the complete reality of the three states is reduced to consciousness, where mind and consciousness are found identical.

The verification is carried out without the need for recourse to religious rituals, scriptural studies, glorifying God and Guru, and yogic meditation.

Such exercises are discouraged in pursuit of truth because they are egocentric. And egocentricity is the greatest obstacle in the pursuit of truth.

For Those whose conditioning was already involved with the belief system, it becomes very difficult to understand and assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. Clearly, this approach is not suited to everyone.

Traditional practices of religion and meditation are needed for the populace that is incapable to inquire and reason. Self-knowledge is meant specifically for serious seekers who want nothing but the truth.

Remember:~

Even for simple crafts, such as masonry or carpentry, a preliminary course of training is required before a person is allowed to handle the instruments; but in the field of Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the science of the Soul, the Self, the highest and the most difficult of all sciences.

Most people think they are competent and entitled to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana but their egocentric intelligence and accumulated knowledge block them from acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Katha Upanishad: ~ This Knowledge cannot be attained by common sense or by reasoning. Brahman-Atman is easy to comprehend when taught by one who knows. [1.2.9]

Katha Upanishad says: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals Its own form. ( II -23-P-20)

Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28:~ “oṁ asato mā sad gamaya ~`tamaso mā jyotir gamaya~ mṛtyor mā amṛtaṁ gamaya~ oṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ” ~

~Lead Us From the Unreal To the Real, Lead Us From Darkness To Light, Lead Us From Death To Immortality, Let There Be Peace, Peace, Peace.

The truth is very simple. It is very difficult to realize because it is lost in the dualistic knowledge we inherited, collected from different sources, different masters’ different gurus, different philosophies, different ideologies, different books, and scriptures. All this accumulated knowledge is a mere hill of Garbage.

Nothing is needed other than realizing the knowledge of a single stuff. The single stuff is the cause of the world in which we exist. And that single stuff itself is causeless. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul is the Self. Knowledge of the Soul, the Self, is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Atma Gnana is knowledge of God. Realizing God in this very life is your goal. God- realization itself is real worship.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Only an intense urge to know the truth, humility sincerity, and patience are the only qualifications to realize God in this very life and in this very world.

Drop your all accumulated knowledge drop all the physical Gurus, the Soul the inner Guru, is waiting for you to take the first step for you to realize there are no more steps.

When you will start thinking independently then the inner revelation will start clearing all the obstacles, which was blocking your realization.

Deeper thinking and reasoning are very much needed in pursuit of truth. : ~ Santthosh Kummar
