Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.+

The seeker has to dig into the old and new posts you will find answers to all your questions, there is no need to ask any questions in the future. As you go deeper and deeper digging into my post and blogs all your doubts and confusion will be cleared.

The Atmic path is not a question and answers session but it is the path of discovering and realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

When you start thinking independently then the inner revelation will start clearing all the obstacles which were blocking your realization. Deeper thinking and reasoning are very much needed in the pursuit of truth.

Your urge is at a seed level. As you go on reading the words of wisdom it will start growing. It takes time for the egocentric subconscious to accept the Soulcentric truth. The Truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. There is no need to search for the truth because, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth.

Only when the conviction of the Soul becomes firm then only you will be able to accept the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. 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. They cease to exist without consciousness.

You have to think and reason deeply 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 the consciousness.

A perfect understanding of ‘what' is 'what' is what’ is needed. Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what,’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is the truth?” and ‘What is th?untruth?. Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Advaitic Self-awareness.

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 repeatedly until it becomes a reality.

Remember:~

People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think reason and reflect profoundly and reach the ultimate end. 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. You, your body, and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness.

You have to think and reason deeply. It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality.

People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think deeply and reach the ultimate end. Everyone’s inner work is on.

Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.

Even though you may find it difficult at first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. It is your intense urge that will take you to the ultimate goal. Patience and humility will help you to reach what you are seeking. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ cease to exist without consciousness.+

There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ cease to exist without consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

You desire for Self-realization, but you still stuck up with the word ‘I’ or ‘I AM’. If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’ or ‘I AM’, then you are not a wise seeker. You are simply a man in ignorance.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. There is no need to convince the ‘I’ infected mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

Remember:~

The ‘Self is not ‘I’ or ‘I AM’. The ‘I’ or ‘IAM is an object to the Soul which is ‘I-LESS-Soul, which is the subject.

Find out ‘what is this ‘I’ supposed to be an actuality.

The ‘I’ present I the form of the mind.

The mind is present in the form of the universe.

The universe appears as a waking or dream (duality).

The ‘I’ is an object to the formless subject. Thus it is necessary to include the universe in your inquiry to realize the unreal nature of the ‘I’ or the universe.

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent (consciousness) is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes.” (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self.

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Among thousands of men, scarcely one strives for perfection; and of those who strive and succeed, scarcely one knows the ‘Self’ in truth.

The path of wisdom attracts only those who are in search of truth and they appreciate it greatly. The ignorant are not spiritually matured they receive Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The ignorant indulge in argument and provocation and personal attack, which hinders his own realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman.

That is why Jesus said: - Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)

~ Jesus meant knowledge of the Spirit or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ “Don't unsettle the minds of the ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth.” ~Santthosh Kumaar

Athma is the cause of the universe and Athma is causeless. Athma is Advaita.+

 

The word 'Advaita' means non-duality. Sage Sankara describes that there is only one reality and one truth, which is Athma. Athma is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Athma is the Self. Athma is present in the form of consciousness. Athma is real and Athma is the cause of the universe.

The universe is not real, not eternal, and is of transient nature. Athma, the Self is changeless, formless, indivisible, unchanging, immutable, beyond attributes, beyond the reach of 5 senses, and beyond the realms of illusory form, time, and space or Maya.

Athma is the cause of the universe and Athma is causeless. Athma is Advaita. 

Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self.

Advaita means fullness of consciousness.

Advaita means Self-awareness.

Advaita means the ultimate truth.

Advaita means Brahman or God in truth.

Remember:~

Advaita means the negation of ignorance.

Advaita means the negation of the duality.

Advaita means the negation of the ‘I’.

Advaita means the negation of the dualistic illusion.

Advaita means the negation of the falsehood.

Advaita means the negation of form, time, and space.

Advaita means the negation of the experience of illusory birth, life, death, and the world.

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Consciousness is the cause of the origin, maintenance, and withdrawal of the universe is Advaita (i.e. non-dual), which means that consciousness transcends all conceptions, positive and negative. Nothing positive can ever be imagined or said about it.

Consciousness is existence absolute, awareness absolute. Existence absolute means that consciousness is not unreal or non-existent. And it is not unconsciousness. It can exist with or without the ‘I’-awareness. The ‘I’ awareness is merely an illusion that appears and disappears.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC ~ "This entire universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

"DVI" (Dvaita) means two. DVI"(Dvaita) connotes dual existence.+

In India Advaita and Dvaita is a merely religious traditions, which they inherited from their ancestors. No one questions their validity because it is considered blasphemy to question their religion, their Guru, and Godmen or the pundits. 

People who are attached to their religious code of conduct and trying to preach Advaita, that is mixing the individual life, and the concept of God and all mixed up hotchpotch religious doctrine and feed the seeking people are themselves not aware of the fact that the individuality and their worldly life is part of the illusion. 

Advaita and Dvaita are not some philosophies. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Dvaita is the illusory nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of the world in which we exist.  

The world in which we exist is a dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion appears as a waking or dream (dvaita) and disappears as deep sleep (Advaita).  

From the standpoint of the Soul, the dvaita (duality) is an illusion. In reality, nothing ever existed; nothing exists and nothing ever exists at any point in time because the dualistic illusion has no value.

"DVI" (Dvaita) means two. DVI"(Dvaita) connotes dualistic existence.

"Advaita” means one without the second. "Advaita" is a non-dualistic existence.

Advaita is real and eternal and the Dvaita of these two is non-existence. 

Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Advaita (Non-duality) by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)

Sage Goudapad:~Duality (dvaita) is for the unwise, non-duality (Advaita) and undifferentiated Reality is for the wise and difficult to grasp.

DVI"(dvaita) is dependent on Advaita for its existence.

"Advaita” is the nature of the Soul. “Advaita” is the Soul itself. “Advaita” is permanent and eternal. "Advaita” is birthless and deathless because it is a formless, time, and spaceless existence.

"Advaita” is the fullness of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, without the division of the form, time, and space.

DVI"(Dvaita) is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as a waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality). The waking is a parallel dream and the dream is parallel waking.

DVI"(Dvaita or duality) is an illusion and impermanent. DVI"(Dvaita) is dependent on the Advaita for its existence.

Remember DVI"(Dvaita or duality) is the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is the mind and the mind is the universe. The universe is waking.

Remember- “Advaita is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The world (Dvaita or duality) in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of the Advaita (Soul or consciousness). Therefore, hold on to the “Advaita” which is real and eternal, and mentally negate the world (Dvaita or duality) in which we exist by realizing the world (Dvaita or duality) in which we exist is nothing but the Advaita.

The Soul becomes Dvaita (duality) in waking. And the Soul becomes ‘Advaita” in deep sleep. The one that becomes the waking and the one that becomes the dream and the one that remains without the waking or dream is the Soul. so, no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal. The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

“Neti ~ Neti ~ Not this, Not this, Not that ~ ” This does not mean that Advaita is a negative concept or a metaphysical abstraction, or a nonentity, or a void. It is not another. It is all-full, infinite, changeless, “Self’-existent, “Self’-delight, “Self’-knowledge, and “Self’-bliss. It is the essence. It is the essence of the knower and the known.

When the illusion (Dvaita or duality) is negated ‘Advaita alone prevails as the ultimate reality. 

Remember:~

All the Advaitic teachings of the Gurus of the east and west are nothing to with the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

Remember:~

Without Sage Sankara there is no Advaita because he is the more profound of the Advaitic wisdom.

Advaita is universal. Advaita is not for sale. Do not buy Advaita from the spiritual supermarket. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self. The world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Advaitic wisdom.

Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to realize because you have accumulated mental garbage from different sources in the name of Advaita. Until you discard all the accumulated knowledge you will never be able to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the 'Self' shines on its own awareness when wisdom dawns.

The Advaita is the Soul is the cause and the support of all that exists in the world in which we exist. Advaita is the nature of God, the Self.

The Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is the root element of the universe. From the Advaita, the universe comes into existence. In the Advaita, the universe resides. And into the Advaita, the universe is dissolved. The Advaita is the parent of all that is there. :~Santthosh Kumaar 

Knowledge of God in truth sets humanity free from ignorance and brings unity in diversity.+

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained knowledge of Atman. Atman is God in truth. Atman alone exists. Everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare." 

Bhagavad Gita Krishna says: ~It is only one amongst thousands of people who strive for spiritual salvation. Even amongst such seekers, it is only the rare person who gets to know “Self” correctly.’ (7.3)  

Every child must be made aware of God in truth. The religiously propagated beliefs of Gods are not God in truth. Religion has become a cause of concern,  to the whole of humanity. Religion brood the ignorance and its outdated beliefs and dogmas, and superstition. 

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

To stop the bloodbath which is going on in the name of religion,  Knowledge of God in truth will bring unity in diversity in humanity.

Knowledge of God in truth sets humanity free from ignorance and brings unity in diversity. “God created the world is an absolute lie”

Sage Sankara says:~ One alone exists, and the rest is all superimposition on that One, due to ignorance

The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning because Truth is not in the letters.

The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual awareness. Meaning is attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the sticklers for particular words.

Rig Veda:~The Vedas exclaim from time immemorial, Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti, Existence is One, Sages call it by different Names. - 1-164-146.

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

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth,  Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

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

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. 

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~  God is  Supreme Spirit.

Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) 

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

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there.

If God is a formless Spirit, then how does man know God created the world? There is no proof. If man had seen God creating the world, he could admit it, but how could he have seen God before he came into existence? (i.e. were created).

No one has seen God creating the world. No one can claim that he was the first Knower of the creation. How can anyone know God created the creation when he himself is part of the creation?

People talk about God created the creation as if they were present when God was creating the creation. So people who wrote creation and creator theory existed prior to God creating the creation. 

There got to be at the very beginning of the creation someone or other who was the very first knower of the creation. There cannot be something ‘known’ in the absence of a ‘knower.’

In Brahma Sutras Sage  Sankara takes for granted, and assumes that a world was created: He there mixes dogmatic theology with philosophy.

That God created the world is an absolute lie; nevertheless, you will find Sage Sankara (in his commentary on Vedanta Sutras) clearly says this! He has to adapt his teachings to his audience, reserving the highest for philosophical minds.

The text of Brahma Sutras is based on religion and dogmatism, but in the commentary, Sage  Sankara cleverly introduced some philosophy.

A number of Upanishads are equally dogmatic and self-contradictory because they also begin by assuming Brahman. Few Upanishads prove Brahman at the end of a train of proof but still, they are very confusing and vague.

The causality and creation are for religious people only. Religion is only for those who are unable to understand truth beyond form, time, and space. Religion is not final. It only gives satisfaction to the populace. The Self - knowledge is for the whole of humanity to free them from experiencing birth, life, death, and the world as reality.

Sage Sankara himself had often said that his philosophy was based on Sruti, or revealed scripture. This may be because Sage Sankara addressed the ordinary man, who finds security in the idea of causality and thus, in the idea of God—and Revelation is indispensable to prove the latter. He believed that those of superior intelligence, have no need of this idea of divine causality, and can, therefore, dispense with Sruti and arrive at the truth of Advaita by pure reason.

People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that God created the world. However, how do they know that God did so? When a pot is created, one can see both pot and its maker, but not in the case of the world.

The seeker has to begin his analysis with the world first, not with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In the world in which you exist, consciousness is the finality. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, Brahman, or God in truth. The universe is merely an illusion created out of consciousness, which is God in truth. 

In reality, the illusion and God are one in essence. Consciousness, God is one without the second. Those who are stuck with the creator, creation theory will not be able to realize the God in truth.

A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the consciousness." However, to know this, they must study and examine it. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.+

The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You and the world in which you exist are part of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Your individual experience of birth, life, and death happening within the world is part and parcel of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

You are unaware of the fact that you are the illusory self within the dualistic illusion.

The dualistic illusion or Maya is dependent on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Without knowing you are not the ‘Self’ you are thinking about yourself as the ‘Self’. This is a great error. If you do not rectify this error you are stuck with the erroneous idea of the ‘Self’ injected by the Gurus in the past.

If the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the Soul then from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self:~

Where is the ‘I’?

Where is the ego?

Where is the body?

Where is the mind?

Where is the world in which you exist?

Where are the form, time, and space?

Where is the waking experience?

Where is the duality?

Where is void?

They are or have become one with the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Remember:~

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present only when the world is present. The world is present only when there is a waking experience.

A deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience is not considered different from the world. The world is not considered different from the mind.

The mind is not considered different from the I’. This truth has to be assimilated.

The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

‘I’ is not the subject. The ‘I’ is an object to the Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then three states, are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.

If 'I’ is an illusion then the individual experience of birth, life, and death is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the words and thoughts are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the duality is bound to be an illusion.

The seeker has to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be. The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes in order to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self.

People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to realize the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "I," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take 'I' as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

That is why Sage Sankara says: - VC-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.

People refuse to accept anything other than their Guru's words. For them, their Guru's words are the ultimate truth. They do not accept anything else other than their accepted truth. There is no need to convince such a mindset.

Such a mindset is not fit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seekers of truth accept only the truth nothing but the uncontradictable truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
