It is for the seeker to go on his own and remove all the obstacles, which is blocking the realization of the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space

The greatest hindrance is mixing religion, God, scriptures, and yogic theories. Moreover, attachment to scriptures, personal God, and religious code of conduct keeps one permanently in the grip of the dualistic illusion.

Embark on the journey of the truth; it frees the Soul from the illusion of form, time, and space.

When you finally realize the ‘Self ‘ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Self-inquiry is to realize the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’ but the ‘self is the ‘I-LESS Soul’, which is present in the form of consciousness. :~Santthosh Kumaar 

It is not the ego, which is blocking Self-realization. It is the ignorance that is blocking Self-realization.+

It is not the ego, which is blocking Self-realization. It is the ignorance that is blocking Self-realization. The ego is the product of ignorance.

It is impossible to eliminate the ego. You cannot go beyond the ego because you are the ego. The ego is the very basis of the world in which you exist. It is impossible to eliminate the ego.

Remember: ~

People talk of getting rid of the ego but it is impossible to get rid of the ego. The ego is the very basis of form, time, and space. Without the ego, form, time, and space cease to exist. Without the form, time, and space the world in which we exist ceases to exist.

Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what'- is required to get rid of ignorance. Without getting rid of the ignorance the form, time, and space prevail as a reality.

One has to get rid of ignorance, not the ego because the ego is the product of ignorance.

Just by saying let there be ‘oneness’ the diversity will not vanish. Without the Advaitic wisdom, ignorance will not vanish.

Without getting rid of ignorance, the dualistic illusion (the world in which you exist) prevails as a reality.

Trying to get rid of the ‘ego’ is like trying to get mangoes from a coconut tree. The truth is not imagination. Ornamental words may give satisfaction to a certain mindset but it blocks one from realizing the ‘Self’ hidden by ignorance.

The ultimate truth is the fullness of consciousness. There is nothing apart from consciousness, because, the whole universe is nothing but consciousness. :~Santthosh Kumaar

You cannot watch the Self without realizing yourself is not the Self because yourself is the ego, the real Self.+

You cannot watch the Self without realizing yourself is not the Self because yourself is the ego, the real Self.

Holding yourself as the Self is holding the ego as the Self. Yourself is limited to you whereas the real Self is unlimited because it is ever nondual. Holding yourself as the Self is a great error.

Unless you know the difference between the Self and yourself you remain ignorant of the 'Self' hidden by the ‘I’.

Yourself is the ego and the real ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul, the Self is nothing to do with yourself and the world in which you exist.

It is impossible to eliminate the ego. You cannot go beyond the ego because you are the ego. The ego is the very basis of the world in which you exist. It is impossible to eliminate the ego.

Remember: ~

People talk of getting rid of the ego but it is impossible to get rid of the ego. The ego is the very basis of form, time, and space. Without the ego, form, time, and space cease to exist. Without the form, time, and space the world in which we exist ceases to exist.

Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what' -is required to get rid of ignorance. Without getting rid of the ignorance the form, time, and space prevail as a reality.

One has to get rid of ignorance, not the ego because the ego is the product of ignorance.

Just by saying let there be ‘oneness’ the diversity will not vanish. Without the Advaitic wisdom, ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of the ignorance, the dualistic illusion or Maya (the world in which you exist) prevails as a reality.

Trying to get rid of the ‘ego’ is like trying to get mangoes from a coconut tree. The truth is not imagination. Ornamental words may give satisfaction to a certain mindset but it blocks one from realizing the ‘Self’ hidden by ignorance.

The ultimate truth is the fullness of consciousness. There is nothing apart from consciousness, because, the whole universe is nothing but consciousness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Without the universe, there would be no ego at all.+

The ‘I’ is the cause of the bondage of the illusory form, time, and space. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana frees the Soul from the cage of the ‘I’, which is an illusion.

It is foolish to say by getting rid of the ego wisdom dawns. It is impossible to get rid of the ego.

Without the universe, there would be no ego at all.   You are the ego. The ego, body, and the world appear together and disappear together. It is impossible to get rid of the ego alone.

The ego, body, and the world together are the’ I’.

Without the ‘I’, the ego, body, and the world cease to exist.

Remember:~

The ‘Self is not the ‘I’.

The ‘I’ itself is the illusory bondage because the ‘I’ itself is the cause of ignorance.

Only in ignorance, the Soul is bound by the illusory experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

In reality, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the Soul is free from the ‘I’ then it is free from ignorance.

If the Soul is free from the ‘I’ then it is free from the dualistic illusion.

The Soul is free from the dualistic illusion then it is in its own awareness.

Remember:~

The ego, body, and the world are the product of ignorance. Without ignorance, the ego, body, and the world cease to exist. Thus getting rid of ignorance is very much necessary. Only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the ignorance vanishes.

The people who are venturing to get rid of the ego will never succeed. How the ego can get rid of itself? The ego is the waking entity (You). The ego, body, and the world appear together and disappear together.

Human psychology is based on the false self (ego or waking entity or you) within the false experience (waking or illusion). Whatever is based on the false Self and false experience is bound to be a falsehood. Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ -is needed to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Thus, one must realize how this world, which confronts him, is an illusion. And from what standpoint the world is an illusion? Without knowing ‘what is mind? ‘What is the substance of the mind?’ ‘What is the source of the mind? 

The truth will not reveal. Thinking the mind is within the physical body is the greatest obstacle in the pursuit of truth. Thus, a deeper investigation is very much necessary in order to unfold the mystery of the mind.

Nothing is needed for acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana other than perfect understanding, assimilation, and realization of ‘what is what”

The dualistic illusion is present only when form, time, and space are present. The form, time, and space are one, in essence. The ego, body, and the world are one, in essence. Birth, life, death, and the world are one, in essence. The three states are one, in essence. That essence is consciousness. The thinker & thought and the world are one, in essence. Thus, there is no division in consciousness in reality.

The Soul, the Self is the fullness of the consciousness without the illusory division of For, time, and space.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

It is impossible to eliminate the ego.+

It is impossible to eliminate the ego. You cannot go beyond the ego because you are the ego. The ego is the very basis of the world in which you exist. It is impossible to eliminate the ego.

Remember: ~

Never mix spirituality with religion. Religion is based on the ego whereas the spirituality is based on the Soul, the Spirit, which is God in truth.+

Religion is meant for the ignorant populace who are incapable of grasping the truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space. Spirituality is meant for the serious seekers of truth who wants to realize the truth hidden by illusory form, time, and space.

Never mix spirituality with religion. Religion is based on the ego whereas spirituality is based on the Soul, the Spirit, which is God in truth.

Adyatma is nothing to do with religious sects or creeds and religious beliefs. Adyatma is pure spirituality. Knowledge of Atma is Adyatma. Advaita is Adyatma.

Adyatma is the knowledge of the truth hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. 

Bifurcate religion, yoga, and theoretical philosophy and base the truth on the Athma it is Adyathma.

Adyatma is based on the ultimate truth, which is based on the Atman or Spirit, which is the Self.

Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality or Adyathma.

The religious Gurus are meant to inject morals and ethics and guide the ignorant populace in the human society live with love and harmony.

Remember:~

People who rebelled against religion, are merely intellectual speculators. They are not serious about realizing the truth. They are more interested in showing their intellectual acrobatics with the information collected from whatever they have read and heard. Such accumulated knowledge is not the means to realize the truth, which is hidden by ignorance.

Condemning religion and its Gurus and Gods will help the seeker to get rid of ignorance.

It is better to educate the crowd to realize what God suppose to be in actuality according to their own scriptures.

Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the politicians as useful.

Religion is nothing to do with the ultimate truth of Brahman or God in truth.

If one is seeking the truth, then he has to be free from all the religious beliefs and dogmas. Religion is based on the ego (you), whereas, the ultimate truth is based on the Soul, the Self.

Whatever is based on the ego is an illusion and whatever is based on the Soul is the ultimate reality or Brahman. Thus, religion has to be bifurcated from spirituality to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

There is no use in condemning religion. But one has to highlight how they cause hindrance and becomes an obstacle in the pursuit of truth.

There is no need to rebel against religion but to realize that religion is based on the false self within the false experience whereas spirituality is based on the Soul, the Self.

Religion makes humanity remain in ignorance of the reality of its true existence with its beliefs, superstitions, and dogmas, the ideas of heaven, hell, sin, karma, and rebirth.

Heaven is the abode of physicalized Gods, where one goes after death, rebirth, and karma theories based on the birth entity, which is the false self within the illusory world.

For those ignorant who believe their experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, think that the effect of action done in previous births, as the Prarabdha in this birth, but for the realized one the present birth, life, death and the world itself is an illusion because they have realized the fact that, waking experience itself is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The heaven, the abode of physicalized Gods, where one goes after death, rebirth, and karma theories based on the birth entity, which is the false self within the illusory world.

When Vedas and Upanishads give clear-cut ideas of what God is supposed to be then all these Gods and Goddesses which people worship have no value from the ultimate standpoint.

Religious Gods are based on blind faith or belief. Belief is not God. Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists. Without the Soul the world in which you exist ceases to exist, it means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence. God in truth is only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Vedic God is Spirit. The Spirit, the God is present in the form of the Atman (Soul). The Spirit, the God is present in the form of consciousness.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ “ God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

God in truth is the Atman, the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness.

Do not accept any other God other than Atman not worship other than Atman.

Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is and all else is an illusion.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

No mantras help to get rid of ignorance. All the mantras and rituals are meant for the ignorant populace, which strongly believes, the world in which he exists as a reality. For one who wants to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the mantas will not help to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

That is why Sage Sankara:~VC-61- For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae) and medicines to such a one?

VC- v6~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

God in truth is not based on your inherited blind faith or belief.+

Religions are centered on propagating the belief in personal God and worship of personal Gods. Religion preaches what to do and how to live their lives, with the aim of convincing people that conformity to religion-oriented life with religious guidelines will bring some intangible reward in the afterlife

Heaven, hell, sin, and karmas are religious-injected fables. The idea of heaven, hell, sin, karma afterlife has been so ingrained into the human psyche that all religious people cannot see beyond this limiting paradigm to any other possibility.

Every religion propagates that their religion is one and the only way to eternally accept their God as the savior, no other religious God or religion is valid.

Personal Gods, rituals worship, Haven, hell, karma, sin and Hell, and belief in life after death are ideas injected by the religions are based on imagination, based on the false self(ego) within the false experience(waking).

People think of God's grace without knowing what God is supposed to be in truth.

Belief in life after death is connected to the reward and punishment performance of karma in the present life. Religion is a guilt-producing control business. Religion is always in the control business, and that’s something the ignorant populace does not really understand.

Heaven is the place where one is rewarded for good karma, and hell is the place where one is punished for his evil Karma.

The religious people speak about the stories of places like Heaven and Hell as if they have gone and seen heaven and hell on a conducted tour.

Many religious people follow religion for solace and guidance for practical life within the practical world.

Religious people don’t want to know what God is supposed to be in actuality because they think their inherited belief is the ultimate truth.

No one can really confirm are bound after death, so why believe in religions that created stories of personal Gods, Heaven and Hell, paradise, sin, and karma without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality?

Religion blocks one from realizing God in truth because religion is based on myth whereas spirituality is based on the truth.

Religion blocks one from realizing God in truth because religion is based on myth whereas Spirituality is based on God in truth.

God in truth is not based on your inherited blind faith or belief.

Remember:~

Mythological Gods are a myth. All mantras are based on the mythological Gods that keep one in the prison of the dualistic illusion.

The mantras never help to cross the trash hold of the form, time, and space. Mantras are meant for the ignorant populace who believe form, time, and space as reality. What is the use of the mantras, which are based on the false God whatever is based on falsity will yield false fruits.

That is why Sage Sankara says:~VC- 61- For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

62. A disease does not leave off if one simply utters the name of the medicine, without taking it; (similarly) without direct realization one cannot be liberated by the mere utterance of the word Brahman.

That is why In 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.”

The people who follow religion think that by following their inherited religion is their duty. And questioning the Guru or scholars is irreligious. Thus, they indulge in rituals and hearing of religious discourses. They are weak and timid.

Lord Krishna Says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the “Self’. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

The Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the Self:~

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

God in truth is the Atman, the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness.

Do not accept any other God other than Atman not worship other than Atman.

Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is and all else is an illusion.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.

Rig Veda says god is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why believe and worship in place of real God?

Remember:~

God in truth is not based on your inherited blind faith or belief. The Religions are based on personal God whereas Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). God is above all needs and desires. God is always the Witnessing Subject. God can never become an object as God is beyond the reach of the senses. God is non-dual, one without a second. God has no other besides it. God is destitute of difference, either external or internal. God cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. God cannot be distinguished from any other than God. In God, there is not distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Svarupa of God, and not just God's attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.

The Soul, the Self is unborn and undifferentiated consciousness is God in truth. :~Santthosh Kumaar
