People who are stuck to religion are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+
The proof of God’s existence is not possible without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality. God is existence itself.+
The proof of God’s existence is not possible without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality. God in truth is existence itself.
Sage Sankara is the only one who proved the existence of God from the Vedic perspective and also proved the existence of God rationally.
Sage Sankara himself had often said that his philosophy was based on Shruti, 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 Shruti and arrive at the truth of Non-Dualism by pure reason.
When Sage Sankara says Brahman or God is impersonal and attributeless then why to worship God with form, names, and attributes.
God and Goddess are religious concepts. Whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person within the dualistic illusion (world) is a falsehood.
Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). 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 no distinction between substance and attribute. Awareness constitutes the very essence or the true nature of Brahman, and not just its attributes. The attributeless Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.
When Sage Sankara says Atman is Brahman or God then why believe and accept anything as God other than the Atman. Vedas say May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?
~ Then, why worship non-Vedic Gods in place of Atman, the real God. Self-realization is truth-realization. Truth-realization is God-realization and God-realization is real worship.
Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God. One must realize the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.
Religious Gods are based on blind belief. Religious God cannot be considered as the cause of the universe because the Soul, the ‘Self’ is the cause of the universe.
Without the Soul, the universe in which you exist ceases to exist, which means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence.
Even 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)
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Sage Sankara is the only Sage who proved the existence of God by declaring that Atman is the only one ultimate reality or Brahman. Brahman is God in truth.
Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the Self is non-dual because there is no second thing that exists other than the Atman. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and space is merely an illusion.
Advaita means the Soul, the Self, which is second to none. The Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. Advaita is the nature of the God, the Self. Advaita is God. Advaita is the fullness of consciousness.
The Soul, the Self itself is Brahman or God in truth. God in truth is present in the form of consciousness. God is ever-present. Without consciousnesses, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.
God in truth is Self-evident. God i in truth not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the existence of God in truth because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. God in truth is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. God in truth is everything. God in truth is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The 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. (14.27).
When Bhagavad Gita says, that 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.
The Soul, the God which is present in the form of consciousness, is real and eternal. The universe in which we exist is an illusion created out of consciousness.
God in truth is beyond is hidden by the physical existence. God in truth can never be proved, through intellectual argument but God in truth can be realized by getting rid of ignorance. Only by acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana getting rid of ignorance is possible. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
Many seekers are stuck up with the idea of experiencing the Self and have become identified with those experiences, thinking, they have realized the Self.+
Many seekers are stuck up with the idea of experiencing the Self and have become identified with those experiences, thinking, they have realized the Self.
People have stopped before reaching the final stage where all experiences disappear. Enlightenment is not an experience. However beautiful and enchanting an experience you come across, it is merely a hallucination because the Self is not you but the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The ultimate in the journey is the point when there is no experience There is nothing as an object for the Soul, the Self, but only subjectivity.
Meditation is an individual act.+
Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation,
Meditation is an individual act. The Soul the Self, is not an individual because it is an ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Meditation is possible within the domain of the illusory form, time, and space.
Consciousness pervades everything and everywhere in all three states.+
The ‘I’ is not a thought. The ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is the whole universe. The universe appears as the waking or dream (duality and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality).
The one that appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality), is the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness pervades everything and everywhere in all three states.
Without knowing what is the mind?-it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
People think the mind is within the body, but deeper self-search reveals the fact that the world in which you exist itself is the mind. When the ‘I’ is there then only the mind is there.
If the mind is there then only the universe is there. If the universe is there then only the waking is there. Thus, it is very much necessary to realize the ‘what ‘I’ is in actuality.
Without knowing ‘what is this ‘I’ it is impossible to realize the ‘I-less’ truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
Till you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never be able to get Self-realization. ‘I’ hides the Soul, which is the Self. ‘
'I’ is ignorance.
‘I’ is the duality.
‘I’ is the form, time, and space.
‘I’ is the universe.
‘I’ is the waking.
‘I’ is the dream.
‘I’ is the illusion.
‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.
But remember:~
Without the ‘I’ there is no ignorance.
Without the ‘I’ there is no duality.
Without the ‘I’ there is no form, time, and space.
Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.
Without the ‘I’ there is no waking.
Without the ‘I’ there is no dream.
Without the ‘I’ there is no illusion.
Without the ‘I’ there is no experience of birth, life, death, and the world.
The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The ‘I’ hides the truth.
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.
