In reality, there is neither creator nor creation because the creator and creation are one in essence.+

Founders of religions have compromised with the truth.  Advaitic truth is uncontradictable truth.

Sage Sankara does not care what people can understand, he cares only about what the truth is. Sage Sankara says it without being worried whether people understand it or not. In a way this looks hard; in another way, this is very simple. 

Sage Sankara the founder of Advaitic wisdom.  Sage Sankara has propounded Spirituality or Adyathma.  His Advaitic wisdom is a great radical change in the history of human consciousness.

Sage Sankara there were religions but never a pure Spirituality or Adyathma. The man was not yet mature. With Sage Sankara, humanity enters into a mature age. All human beings have not yet entered into that, that’s true, but   Sage Sankara has heralded the path; Sage Sankara has opened the gateless gate. It takes time for human beings to understand Advaitic wisdom. Sage Sankara’s wisdom is the deepest ever. Nobody has done the work that Sage Sankara has done, the way he has done it. Nobody else represents the pure fragrance of Advaita.

Remember:~

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 unable to understand truth beyond form, time, and space.

Religion is not final. It only gives satisfaction to the populace.  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.:

The creator and creation theories belong to the dualistic illusion.

In reality, there is neither creator nor creation because the creator and creation are one in essence.

Where is the need for a creator when one’s own dream experience offers proof that the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness brings into being a whole waking experience, which contains the world in which we exist, and if it can create a dream world, why not also a waking world?

The person, who stamped his feet on the ground to refute to show the world, is real, ignores that in a dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.

If God is a creator then why worship anything of God’s creation.

Max Müller says: ~ “The religion of the Veda knows no idols; the worship of idols in India is a secondary formation, a degradation of the more primitive worship of ideal Gods."

Therefore, there was no individual God or temples and worships in the Vedic religion, which existed prior to Buddhism. Thus, the individualized Gods and temples must have been built later on when the worship of idols was introduced. Therefore, the Vedic religion which existed in the past was free from idol and nature worship and idol worshiping rituals.

The present day’s worship of individual Gods, created things, nature, and people are against Vedic teachings, and it looks like it has been fabricated and introduced by priestcraft.

Since it, has passed on from one generation to the next it is hard for people to believe the truth of their own religion, because they have sentimentally and emotionally involved in it and they refuse to accept anything else other than their inherited beliefs.

The Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the ‘Self’.

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 declares God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why believe and worship in place of the real God.

Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God there is no truth."

Chandogya Upanishad: ~ Sarvam khalvidam brahma ~ all this (universe) is verily Brahman. By following back all of the relative appearances in the world, we eventually return to that from which it is all manifest – the nondual reality.

It proves the Vedic Gods are not the Gods with attributes because Vedic God is the Supreme Spirit which Atman. Remember Gods worshiped in the temples and households are not Vedic Gods. Vedas declare never to accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?

One must remember that for all periods the Vedas are the final goal and authority, and if the Puranas differ in any respect from the Vedas the Puranas is to be rejected without mercy.

That is what Yajurveda says: ~ “Not to worship the things which are part of the falsehood.

Yajurveda

Translation 1

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

They sink deeper in darkness 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 Prakriti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the Prakriti, 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." (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Yajur Veda indicates that they sink deeper in darkness than those who worship idols. The idols of attributed Gods are not Vedic Gods. Those who worship visible things born of the Prakriti, such as the earth, trees, bodies human, and the like in place of Atman, the innermost 'Self' 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.

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.

Thus truth realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization. God- realization is real worship. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is a great radical change in the history of human consciousness.+

Sage Sankara is one of the most important Sage who has ever existed on the planet earth — incomparable, unique. And if you can have a taste of his Advaitic wisdom, you will be infinitely benefited, and blessed.  Seekers of truth love Sage Sankara because he represents the essential core of Spirituality or Adyathma.

Sage Sankara is like the highest peak of the Himalayas … one of the purest beings, one of the great sages.  Sage Sankara is the first scientist who unfolded the mystery of the universe and the mystery of God.  

Founders of religions have compromised with the truth.  Advaitic truth is uncontradictable truth. Sage Sankara does not care what people can understand, he cares only about what the truth is. Sage Sankara says it without being worried whether people understand it or not. In a way this looks hard; in another way, this is very simple. 

Sage Sankara the founder of Advaitic wisdom.  Sage Sankara has propounded Spirituality or Adyathma.  Sage Sankara’s  Advaitic wisdom is a great radical change in the history of human consciousness. 

Sage Sankara there were religions but never a pure Spirituality or Adyathma. The man was not yet mature. With Sage Sankara, humanity enters into a mature age. All human beings have not yet entered into that, that’s true, but   Sage Sankara has heralded the path; Sage Sankara has opened the gateless gate. It takes time for human beings to understand Advaitic wisdom. Sage Sankara’s wisdom is the deepest ever. Nobody has done the work that Sage Sankara has done, the way he has done it. Nobody else represents the pure fragrance of Advaita. 

Before Sage Sankara there were religions but never Spirituality or Adyathma. People are not yet spiritually mature.

With Sage Sankara humanity enters into a mature age. All human beings have not yet entered into that, that’s true, but Sage Sankara has heralded the path; Sage Sankara has opened the doorless door to nonduality or Advaitic.

It takes time for human beings to understand the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is the deepest ever. Nobody has done the work that Sage Sankara has done, the way he has done. Nobody else represents pure fragrance of his Advaitic wisdom.

Sage Sankara is the profounder of Advaitic wisdom. Sage Sankara has propounded not only religion but Spirituality or Adyathma. And this is a great radical change in the history of human consciousness.

It is impossible to speak on truth without bringing Sage Sankara in. It is impossible speak on Ataman or Brahman without bringing Sage Sankara in.   It is really impossible   to speak on Advaita without bringing Sage Sankara in.

Sage Sankara says: Yoga and religion will not help the seeker to find the truth he is seeking because yoga and religion are based on myth.  Other founders of religions and yoga have compromised with the truth.

Sage Sankara says:  Religion and yoga are not the tools to acquire Self-knowledge. Sage Sankara‘s Advaitic wisdom has a higher perfection, then a new kind of perfection, with a fragrance of the truth.  

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

In the Vedas and the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita speaks of the truth with a weak voice and they do not have the majesty found in the Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom ~ it is simply unparalleled.

Sage Sankara’s wisdom is nothing to do with Advaitic orthodoxy.

Advaitic wisdom has been lost: people misinterpret and falsify it, Advaitic wisdom is not yoga but it is the truth, which is hidden by ignorance, but nobody knows it.

The teachers of philosophy and religious Gurus and yogis do not want to inquire into the hidden truth and have no time for it.

Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, has freedom from experiencing the dualistic illusion come, but only through the Advaitic wisdom.

The most important thing is that neither society nor politics nor any other institution of human life has had any influence on Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom.

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 Advaitic wisdom there shall be no freedom for the Soul, which is caught up in the dualistic illusion.

The ultimate Truth which has no basis is usually religion or a mere catalog of ignorant opinions; people prefer it because it can be got more easily. All religious doctrines are based on the ego. Whatever is based on the ego is worthless because the truth is based on the Soul, the Self.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is such a pure expression ~ transcending form, time, and space ~ there is nothing comparable.

Religion has been very influential. The first reason is that religion is a synthesis. Religion is more concerned with synthesis than with truth. The desire for synthesis is so strong that if necessary religion doesn't mind sacrificing the truth to propagate the belief.

Religion is a hodgepodge containing everything; hence it suits everyone because there is something in it for everyone.

The truth does not belong to any religion. Religious truth is individual truth based on the false self.

The ignorant populace takes solace in their inherited religion. For religious people, Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom will prove very difficult.

The seeker has to know God in truth. The truth is ignored by religion.

The difference between the religious concept of God, which is based on blind belief, and the truth about God, is based on the core of existence.: ~Santthosh Kumaar

Your individual experience of birth, life, and death is a reality within the illusory universe Maya.+

You and your world are within the dualistic illusion or Maya. The experience of birth, life, death, and the world is within the illusion. Whatever is to happen within the illusion will happen? Till ignorance is there the dualistic illusion thrives.

The illusion is as if the ready and a full movie of illusion, from the beginningless beginning to the endless end, is being projected continually.

Within the illusion, one may die at any moment. The dualistic illusory life has no guarantee because no one can know for certain what will happen the very next moment. Except for the Soul, the Self, which is God, everything is an illusion.

This practical life within the practical world is meaningless because it is happening within the illusion.

Thus, it is to realize Soul, the only God is real and the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of God, which is present in the form of the Spirit.

Everything is happening on its own within the illusory universe or Maya. Individuality is a reality within the illusory universe or Maya.

You are not the cause of the illusory universe because you are part and parcel of the illusory universe.

The unborn eternal Soul, the Self is the cause of the illusory universe and it, itself is uncaused.

Holding yourself as the real Self is the cause of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusory universe as reality.

Yourself is the ego and the real Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Getting rid of ignorance is the aim of every truth seeker.

Remember:~

All the happening is happening within the dualistic illusion. Whatever is to happen will happen and whatever is not to happen will never happen.

The practical life within the practical world is illusory. Life has no guarantee because no one can know for certain what will happen the very next moment. The only thing that is real is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is hidden by the dualistic illusion.

Except for the Soul, everything is an illusion. Life is meaningless because it is the dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

It is no joke to realize the ‘Self’. People fail to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’ because they are caught up in the spider web of the ‘I’.

This is because they are stuck with ‘I’ and ‘I-centric’ teachings and Gurus. They end up worshipping the Gurus without realizing they are worshipping the illusion.

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the only Reality and it always remains the same from beginning to end. The illusion has no value in reality.

Remember:~

You are born and you will die within the illusory universe of Maya.

Your individual experience of birth, life, and death is a reality within the illusory universe Maya.

Your quest for truth is misdirected because you are trying to find out who you are through Who am 'I?- inquiry.

You are the false self (ego)within the false experience (waking).

The illusory universe appears as a waking or dream (duality) and the illusory universe disappears as the Soul, the Self is in deep sleep.

The one which appears as waking or dream and one that remains without the waking or dream is the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

All the teachings, which are based on the individual Self will not help to realize the Self hidden by the illusory universe.

Without unfolding the mystery of the universe, Self-realization is an impossibility.

Self-realization is truth-realization and truth realization is God-realization.:~ Santthosh Kumaar

Even we find A, U, M in Vedantic literature, which in Hinduism uses as “OM”.

 

Even we find A, U, M in Vedantic literature, which in Hinduism uses as “OM”.

The word AUM has been chosen because it is a short easily remembered syllable. The separate sounds of the word are symbols, nothing more. The combination of these three-letter sounds in one word symbolizes the world's unity.

The three divisions of time--past present and future--are also symbolized. Moreover, AUM contains three letters and Atman contains three states. Finally just as it requires four quarters to merge and make up a whole unity, A, U, and M are three of these quarters.

A: When one thinks of himself as seeing the waking experience; but when he thinks of the self apart from that self is Atman.

U: he regards himself as being in the dream. This is a higher idea because he knows that a universe is an object to the subject which is Ataman.

M: When one understands that through deep sleep he is able to measure all else, that all other things (and the sounds A and U symbolizing them) merge back into Deep sleep, are all found in it, and re-appear from it. This is a still higher degree.

Even if one takes any language he likes, he finds that A involves the opening of the mouth whereas M involves shutting it. Now all sound implies soundlessness because it begins from that and ends with that. Hence the two always go together.

Similarly the knower and Known go together to form Brahman and are always present together although we do not usually recognize it. AUM= Turiya: This is not a state, as the ignorant Orthodoxy think.

This word includes all three sounds, which have merged in it. So the waking merges in a dream, the latter in sleep, and all three in AUM. The latter is a unity, nevertheless, it contains a trinity. Thus when the word is made the subject of intelligent reflection, such meditation becomes a great help to attainment, as Advaitins says, for it thus becomes an examination of the whole of life.

Sounds imply names, names imply objects, and objects imply the whole world. "Au" is the beginning of all sounds, "uM" is the end of all sounds, and even other sound is included within them, i.e. within AUM.

Whatever may come in the future, whatever object existed in the past, whatever thing you can think of in the present--all these are included in the single word AUM because all are named, hence are ideas, hence within the single mind.

The word is a mnemonic purposely invented to give men in one short syllable, in the smallest compass, a handy reminder that everything--this table, your neck-tie, that cow,--is of the same essential character. Every time any object is seen, you utter Aum and thus remember that it, and all other things, are the self. Every object in the external world is indicated by a name. Hence the phrase "the universe consists of names and forms.” All names are but words. As soon as a word is uttered, what does your mind do? A thought comes. Now all these words in every language, all these sounds, all these thoughts, are compressed in the one word Aum; which also enables all objects to be comprehended by the Mind as being ideas. Hence this word is unique. Nothing exists which is outside the scope of referential meaning AUM.

Aum, therefore, is the whole of existence, the universe. But why is this specific word Aum chosen for such a high office? Take the first letter "AH". It is the sound phonetically uttered by the mouth when it first opens. "UM" is the sound it utters when at last it closes. Hence all sounds, without a single exception must be comprised between the opening and shutting of the lips, i.e. between "AH" and "UM" and as Brahman is silent, so ultimately the AUM disappears with the sounding of "UM" into silence because the mouth must then shut. You have to use words to denote things and objects. You have to use letters to form words. The word AUM summarizes all other words. Finally, even this word disappears when the sound of it goes. So letting go of AUM is to make you drop the whole world and make you think of Brahman. Thus the mystery of AUM is wrapped in the meaning of words. Semantics aim at clarifying meanings but AUM ultimately shows you that all words are futile because they cannot express the ultimate nature of anything: Silence alone does this.

One cannot produce any sound without opening the mouth and the first sound he utters while opening the mouth is A. Thus A is said to pervade all sounds. A is considered to be the symbol of the universe because all objects are indicated by ideas, all ideas are indicated by sounds, and all sounds are pervaded by the letter A.

When we utter the word "sound" how can we understand the meaning of sound? It is only by distinguishing it from soundlessness that we can understand sound. All sounds are got from soundlessness. Similarly, all the states are got from the Turiya, corresponding to soundlessness. We have to merge waking into dreams, then merge dreams into a deep sleep. And finally, we have to merge even this into Turiya.

AUM is conceived as the whole universe, which has got four quarters. How can one know that the universe and the Self-[soul] are identical? The answer is "Look into his -self--the Atman.” This Atman has also four corresponding quarters.

When one utters the word AUM, the waking comes before him: when he thinks of a dream, the dream states come before him; and so also with sleep. Thus every time he utters the word AUM the three states come before him.

Meditation on symbols is meant for dull and mediocre intellects. When we utter the word AUM we must think of the three states and also of the Ataman.

Aum is a sound, how can it be an elephant? "All sounds" means all objects or the entire Brahman.

Anything which is thought is an idea, and hence a superimposition. Aum is the substratum of all the words. It is the word of Atman. Aum stands for the sound and not the letter which is found in all languages. It sums up all the sounds in all the languages. As upon the mind, everything else is superimposed, so upon the Aum, everything else is superimposed.

The sound has its substratum or substance one’s self. It comes from and disappears into the self, which is Atman.

All this baggage is not necessary for the pursuit of truth. Seeker has to find and realize “What is the mind?” and “What is the substance of the Mind?” nothing else to unfold the mystery of the physical existence [universe].

The individual experiences happening within the universe, such as birth, life and death, and pain and pleasure are nothing to do with the Self, which is formless consciousness. Thus, it is necessary to know the self is formless to realize the fact that, the burden of the human is not on the body but it is on the Self (Soul), which the religionists call God/Brahman/and intellectuals to call Consciousness.

Consciousness alone is real. The human and universe are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Know the consciousness as the true Self then one becomes free from experiencing the mirage [birth, life, death, and the universe] as reality.

This universe is only the veil of ignorance on the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.+

This universe is only the veil of ignorance on the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Self is not you but the Soul, which is hidden by the universe.

The Soul is hidden by the universe because the universe is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Remember: ~ 

All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, consciousness still remains without form, time, and space. 

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought. 

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. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara says: - VC-47- All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.*

Till you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as a reality. 

Remember:~

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.

If you realize the world in which you exist is consciousness then what else is there to realize. The seeker needs to reflect constantly on the subject till the cobwebs of his doubts and confusion get cleared. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth.

If you stick to the ultimate truth then the universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.

It is easy but it is difficult because you are accumulated so much mental garbage.

Get rid of the garbage and start afresh. No need for a Guru, no need for scriptures, no need to read books, no need for Gurus Grace, no need to worship no need to meditate, no need for Samadhi, and no need to take sanyasa, no need to become a monk, no need to repeat mantras, no need to run to the mountain in order to get Self-realization.

You must have an intense urge, humility, and patience to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space. Your sincerity and intense urge lead you to the destination you are seeking.

Just realize the universe  in which you exist is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the  Self. Realizing the Soul as the Self is Self –realization. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

A Gnani lives within the world but he is not of this world.+

Having realized the truth, beyond the form, time, and space Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. For a Gnani, the whole world is nothing but consciousness.

A Gnani never knows any mantra in Vedic meter or any Tantra not he indulges in religious rituals or worship of religious Gods. A Gnani sees no difference between happiness and misery, man and woman, Adversity, and success. Everything is seen to be the same.

A Gnani is not conflicted by the dualistic illusion. He is fully aware the Self is the fullness of consciousness.

Knowing for certain that all is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, the Gnani has never says: “I am this” or “I am not that.”

Even friends and family members of a Gnani will not know him as the Gnani.

Due to ignorance, people will not be able to recognize a Gnani. Outwardly the Gnani behaves as an ordinary person behaves.

A Gnani talks and jokes like others, but he is not understood as he really is. People may regard him as an exceptional person, but only a few can recognize him as a Gnani.

Remember:~

Therese is no need to step out of the illusion. A Gnani lives within the world but he is not of this world. At the dawn of the Advaitic wisdom, life will go on as usual within the dualistic illusion but the conscious awareness of reality is always there.

For Gnani whether there is a dualistic illusion or there is no dualistic illusion makes no difference because he is free from experiencing the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality.

A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the consciousness, just as the goldsmiths view the ornaments as nothing but gold.

A Gnani never considers his body and his experience of the world is not different from consciousness.

A Gnani considers the world in which he exists as the Soul. And the Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the witness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

Remember:~

For a Gnani, the world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

The common people's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

In Self-awareness-- the witness and witnessed are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.

A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person is a reality within the waking experience (duality) but the waking experience (duality) itself is merely an illusion.

Remember:~

The universe will not vanish, when wisdom dawns, only ignorance disappears and the unreal nature of the universe is exposed, the same way as the unreal nature of the dream exposed when the waking takes place. The wisdom dawns in the midst of duality because in reality there is no duality. Nothing is needed other than a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

The ultimate truth or Brahman cannot be experienced because it is prior to any experience. The experience belongs to individuality. And individuality is a falsehood. There is neither individual nor his experience in the Advaitic reality.

The world in which you exist cannot exist without waking experience. Whatever we are discussing, we are discussing within the waking experience but from the ultimate standpoint, the waking experience itself is an illusion. Whatever is known, seen, believed, and experienced as a person within the dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion?

Remember:~

Nothing ever is really born. The entire universe is only an illusion. The universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

What exists is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness only. Consciousness cannot be expressed in words because it is existence itself. It is eternal, self-effulgent, and unblemished.

The illusion has no value. The universe is the illusory nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Mentally reduce the universe into consciousness by realizing the universe is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

There is no reason behind the illusion! From the ultimate standpoint, there is no illusion at all! Everything is nothing but consciousness. There is no reason behind the illusion! From the ultimate standpoint, there is no illusion at all! Everything is nothing but consciousness. :~ Santthosh Kumaar

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
