Sage Sankara:~There is no need to study the scriptures in order to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+

Sages of truth restrained themselves from parting the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to the mass and only a selected few. It was hidden from those who were not qualified and receptive to it.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few. Thus, religion was given to the mass, and knowledge of the Spirit is given to only a selected few. Thus, we find traces of the knowledge of the spirit in the religious books in the form of parables.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified. (From 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda)

By mastering scriptures, it is impossible to establish the ‘Self. Scriptures are meant for ignorant people who are in preliminary stages. Scriptures are of no use to establish the ultimate truth of Brahman.

The seeker has to strive for getting certainty, irrefutable proof of ‘Self’ in truth not dogmatic assertion in order to get rid of the ignorance.

Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru nor by the study of scripture, it is attained only by a perfect understanding of ‘what is what.

The scriptures are self-contradictory only you have to pick only those insights which are signposts, which are indicated towards the reality, which is beyond form, time, and space. The subconscious goal of your search is Self- awareness.

Mundaka Upanishad: ~ So called spiritual pundits and learned are called children because a child takes whatever it thinks as truth. The question never occurs to children “Is what I have seen or thought really the truth?" (P.334 line 9)

Scriptures are not needed in the pursuit of truth. Even the Upanishads and the sages of truth say the same.

Ashtavakra: ~ “My child you may speak upon various scriptures or hear the sermons on the scriptures. But you cannot establish in the ‘Self’ unless you forget all. -16-1 – p49

There is no need to study the scriptures in order to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The seeker has to self-search for the truth and realize it without the scriptures. And then only when he reads the scriptures he becomes aware the scriptures are also saying the same thing but everything is misinterpreted by the pundits and so-called Gurus because they propagate Advaita from the dualistic perspective.

Mundaka Upanishad: ~ This Atman cannot be attained through the study of the Vedas, nor through intelligence, nor through much learning. He who chooses Atman—by him alone is Atman attained. It is the Atman that reveals to the seeker Its true nature. (3 page70upanhsds by Nikilananda)

It means the truth is beyond the scriptures and egocentric intelligence. Thus, in order to grasp, assimilate, and realize the Advaitic truth the seeker employs Soul-centric reasoning, faculty.

That is why Sage Sankara says:~What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress. (Commentary in the Vedanta Sutra)

Thus, the seeker of truth should not believe blindly in traditional orthodox Advaita without verifying all the facts from every angle. One has to reflect through reasoning over and over again without getting tired of the process.

That is why Sage Sankara says: - VC-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.

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.

There is nothing more rational, more intelligible, and more un-dogmatic insights of Sage Sankara is to drop all the theistic non-duality or Advaita which is meant for those who are incapable and not receptive to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Upanishads say:~He who thinks he knows does not know.+

Upanishads say:~ "He who thinks he knows, does not know." This means that to know anything implies a second, an object of knowledge, hence duality, i.e. no Gnana.

Tripura Rahasya, 18: 89:~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self-gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that. Realize yourself, turning the mind inward.

The pursuit of truth is a mental (inner) journey. Deeper self-search makes one aware of ‘what truth’ is and ‘what is untruth’ and the subconscious will be able to reject the untruth after knowing, what is Truth. Whatever prevails after rejecting the untruth is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

This “I know” attitude is most dangerous and will not allow the seeker to reach the ultimate end of understanding.

Understanding reality without clarity is disastrous. The lethargic attitude makes one remain in ignorance without proper inquiry and a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’.

Ignorance blocks people from realizing the truth hidden by the untruth because he has accepted the untruth as the ultimate truth.

People are unaware of the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God in truth.

The ultimate truth or God in truth can be realized only when he realizes the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’.

The ‘Self the Sprit’ is God, not the ‘I’. Only those who realize the Spirit as the ‘Self’ is a real Gnani.

When reality appears this ignorance that one thinks as reality becomes unreal.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of the Spirit (God in truth) is Spirit. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the universe is born out of the Spirit, is Spirit in its essence.

Only through Advaitic wisdom, it is possible to realize the God hidden by the veil of ignorance. Ignorant people take God for granted without realizing what God is in actuality. Realization of what God is necessary to become real.

When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then the world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes an illusion.

Remember:~

The one who says he is already enlightened is ignorant.

The person who says I am enlightened is unaware of the fact that ‘Self’ is not he, because he and his experience of the world are the product of ignorance.

Only the ignorant say he is already enlightened. Without the Advaitic wisdom, ignorance will not vanish.

The one which says ‘I am enlightened’ itself is the ego. The one which feels it is he or she is also the ego.

The ego is the false ‘Self’ (you or waking entity) within the false experience (waking).

The ego, body, and the world appear together and disappear together.

It is a foolish venture to try to destroy the ego because the ego is the very basis of the physical existence (universe in, which we exist). : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Really no time is required if the seeker is sharp enough to grasp the Advaitic truth.+

Really no time is required if the seeker is sharp enough to grasp the Advaitic truth. All the accumulated knowledge and religious condition block the realization. All the seeker needs are an intense urge to realize the truth. If the seeker is serious and sincere, he has it.

After all, it is a matter of attitude. When wisdom dawns, one realizes the whole universe in which we exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul that is present in the form of consciousness. The knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Nothing stops you from being a Gnani, right in this very life, not in the next life or next world. Fear of losing your physical identity people are afraid to inquire.

No mantras will help to get self-realization. Mantras are a religious fable. Ignorance will not vanish by repeating mantras. By repeating mantras, ignorance becomes deep-rooted.

When the’ Self’ is not you what is the use of you repeating the mantras, which keep the Soul, in the prison of the dualistic illusion? Thus, it is necessary to realize the ‘Self' is not you but the ‘Self’ is the formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Only when you realize the Self is not you then only the ignorance vanishes.

Only the religious and yogic paths prescribe mantras. Religious and yogic paths are egocentric paths whereas the path of wisdom is the Soulcentric path.

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.

Sage Sankara goes on to say: ~A sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman.” Brahman must be experienced. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely noise. Until a man has destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying “I am a king.”

A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, and contemplation, but never by subtle arguments.  

Remember:~

Reading my posts often propels the reader into a thinking process. By reading, and repeating the words on this subject the inner whirling in the subconscious takes place which replaces the old thoughts by accepting the new thoughts.

Perfect understanding removes all sorts of obstacles in the pursuit of truth. Only through constant repetition of words in my posts will make one think differently, but it also creates more doubts and confusion in his subconscious and his inner urge to know the truth even more intense. And it also helps to overcome some of our conditioning, which we have inherited from parental grooming and circumstances.

Repetition of the words assists the seeker to help to focus his attention from form (body) to formless (soul or consciousness), which is very much necessary in pursuit of truth. And repetition is an effective tool and has an effect on the subconscious mind, which is not receptive to receiving new truth because it is conditioned to receive only logical conclusions based on ego(waking entity or you).

Repetition and constant persistence is the way to sow the seed of non-dual truth

Constant repetition and persistence is the way to sow the seed of the non-dual truth, in the subconscious.

One of the reasons I have been expressing about its repetition of the same thing, again and again, is to grasp the non-dualistic or Advaaitc truth. It takes a few months for seekers to assimilate what is been said through the messages, the seeker not only reads the messages by constantly reflecting on the true self in these messages is with constant mental exercises he will be able to grasp and assimilate the self-knowledge or Bramha Gnana or Atma Gnana

The seekers who have an intense urge, are truth-oriented, ready to verify everything, and ready to accept the truth after verification will reach the non-dual destination without much hurdles.

Religionists, theorists, and some intellectuals can never grasp what is being said here; because they have preconceived ideas of their accepted truth therefore they refuse to verify the facts.

Always anything communicated through these messages comes from the inner core of the existence'(Soul), not from judgment based on the ego.

The seeker may find it a bit irritating at first repetitive messages, it will be stirred enough to divert their attention to the Ataman and the point of view I am emphasizing on. Only through frequent

In repetition, the seeker will be able to grasp and focus his attention from form (body) to formless (soul) and able to grasp and assimilate Self-knowledge.

The Seeker has to read repeatedly, write repeatedly, and reflect on the subject repeatedly, which helps the seeker to get a firm conviction of un-contradicted truth.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

First, you must know what God is supposed to be in actuality.+

People all over the world in the past and present accepted the idea of the existence of God. The fear of God injected by religion was the root cause of worship, superstitions, and dogmas. The religious belief is passed on to the populace from one generation to the next generation.

The religion preaches that God is one and the ways to God are many. It simply tries to lead them to darkness with its dogma and idea of many Gods, which is apart from the Self.

First, you must know what God is supposed to be in actuality. You must know the God which you believe and worship are not God in truth according to your own scripture.

God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades everything and everywhere in the universe.

There is a clear-cut idea in the scriptures, what is supposed to be God. And what not to worship in place of God in truth then why worship Gods based on blind faith or blind belief, which is not God in truth.

Why worship personal Gods when Sage Sankara says God is impersonal.

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

Bhagavad Gita: - All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)

Bhagavad Gita: ~ 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. (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.

Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self is 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. God in truth is only Atman, the ‘Self’. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

Thus, by sticking up to the Gods, which are not God in truth, you are sticking up to the illusion. Sticking up to illusion means sticking up to ignorance. sticking up to ignorance means you are not qualified to acquire self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Remember:~

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.

Remember even Vedas bar worshipping Gods which are not God in truth:~

Yajur Veda says: ~

Translation 1

They enter darkness, those who worship natural things (for example air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc).

They sink deeper into the darkness than those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc.) (Yajurveda 40:9)

Translation 2

Deep into the shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on sambhuti is intent." (Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph T. H. Griffith pg 538)

Translation 3

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." (Yajurveda 40:9.)

So, Yajur Veda indicates that: ~

They sink deeper into the darkness than those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc. (Yajurveda 40:9)

Those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, and bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." (Yajurveda 40:9.)

To acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the seeker has to realize his inherited religion is adulterated in the past and it becomes a great obstacle is realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

The seeker's aim is the search for the Ultimate Truth or Brahman. The search to find the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth that in actuality never was lost, only hidden by ignorance.::~Santthosh Kumaar

It is necessary to repeat the same truth again and again till it becomes reality.+

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.

In the Atmic path, we have to grow from the inside out. None can teach us, and none can make us spiritual. There is no other Guru but our own Soul.”

Self-knowledge or Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana cannot be attained by one who is without strength or earnestness or without the receptiveness and courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth. If a serious seeker strives sincerely by means of inquiry, analysis, and Soulcentric reasoning, he will be able to realize it.

It is only through the seekers' sincerity and earnestness in their spiritual pursuit, that the knowledge started revealing on its own. Anyone who has humility and patience and is sincere and ready to drop their accumulated dross and receptive to accept the truth will enter nondual Self-Awareness when his conviction becomes firm.

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’.

It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the 'Self"(truth), hidden by ignorance(I).

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

Know the Consciousness to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution.+

Consciousness in man and the universe is one. Those who understand this see through the world and go beyond the various sheaths of being to realize the unity of life.

The universe rises from the ‘Self’ like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Consciousness to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."

When the whole universe is made of consciousness then what is the use of talking of the photons and atoms? All the divisions are within consciousness.

Only in ignorance, the illusory world prevails as a reality. The reality of the world vanishes with the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. A Gnani is free from experiencing the illusory universe as a reality. 

Ignorance which exists prior to investigation of the nature of the ‘I’, appears and disappears. 

The seeker of truth must shed prejudices and get disentangled from all that is not needed to acquire Self-knowledge. You must tread the path to a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the knowledge that unfolds the mystery of the universe. The universe is created out of single stuff. And that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. Without the ‘I’ the mind ceases to exist.

The mind is present when the universe is present. Without the mind, the universe ceases to exist.

The universe is present only when the waking is present. Without the universe, the waking ceases to exist.

So, without the ‘I’ the mind or universe or the waking ceases to exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul is the innermost ‘Self’, the ‘I’ the mind or universe or the waking cease exists as a reality.

The Soul is the ‘Self’ and can remain with or without the ‘I’. 

Slowly but surely you must imbibe the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space by realizing that form, time and space are one in essence.

When you enthrone the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness in your subconscious, you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusory play of  consciousness. 

Consciousness is ‘One’, and all divisions of the form, time, and space within consciousness are illusory. Be established in this Advaitic Truth, which is eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Self-realization is not the ‘I’ realization because the Self is not the ‘I’.+

Without solving the mystery of the 'I', truth-realization is an impossibility. 'I' hides the truth of the true existence.

The Soul, the Self is not 'I' but the Soul, the Self is the cause of the 'I'. Without the Soul, the Self, the 'I' cease to exist.

It is the Soul that pervades this universe, and this universe exists in the Soul. The true nature of the Soul is pure consciousness."

You have to realize the Self, not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Self-realization is not the ‘I’ realization because the Self is not the ‘I’.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the knowledge that unfolds the mystery of the universe. The universe is created out of single stuff. And that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. Without the ‘I’ the mind ceases to exist.

The mind is present when the universe is present. Without the mind, the universe ceases to exist.

The universe is present only when the waking is present. Without the universe, the waking ceases to exist.

So, without the ‘I’ the mind or universe or the waking ceases to exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul is the ‘Self’, the ‘I’ the mind or universe or the waking cease exists as a reality.

The Soul is the ‘Self’ and can remain with or without the ‘I’. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
