Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The universe raises from the Soul, the Self’ like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."
The Soul is light that illuminates the whole cosmos. As soon as you get a glimpse of the Reality of true existence, you will realize the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Swami Vivekananda: This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself to your own mind does not befit you, the Soul. Self is infinite, deathless, and birthless. Because the Self is infinite Spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is none to help you. Self is the entire world. Who can help you?
All accumulated knowledge is of no use in the path of wisdom. Without realizing “What is the truth it is impossible to realize “What is untruth?” Without realizing what is truth and what is untruth it is impossible to assimilate the Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The seeker must know with full and firm conviction what truth is.
Advatic wisdom consists in knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness.
Freedom (ultimate truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, is quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Ashtavakra: ~ Diamonds are not many; only pebbles and rocks are so common. A single diamond is enough: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
