The wisdom will not dawn because of your good or bad Action or Karma.+

The wisdom will not dawn because of your good or bad Action or Karma. Your Good and bad deeds has no value because you and your good and bad deeds are part of the illusory universe of Maya. 

There are two kinds of audiences –

1. The religious believers who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of their action or karma

2.  The truth-seeker who seeks to know Brahman or God in truth.

Religion   emphasis on the karma is meant for ignorant people who are incapable of grasping the God hidden by ignorance.

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is meant for those who wish to go beyond illusory universe or Maya.

Those who lack the intelligence to discriminate between formless witness (subject) and three states (object) will not be able to grasp what is real and what is unreal. Both subject and object are consciousness, not subject alone. 

Sage Sri, Sankara’s wisdom is nothing to do with religion and yoga. Religion and yoga are meant for the ignorant.

First Manduka - Chapter 2 (10) - Ignorant fools, regarding sacrifices and humanitarian works as the highest, do not know any higher good. Having enjoyed their reward on the heights of heaven, gained by good works, they enter again this world or a lower one.

First Manduka - Chapter 2 (8) - Fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit and puffed up with vain scholarship, wander about, being afflicted by many ills, like blind men led by the blind.

First Manduka - Chapter 2 (9) - Children, immersed in ignorance in various ways, flatter themselves, saying: We have accomplished life's purpose. Because these performers of karma do not know the Truth owing to their attachment, they fall from heaven, misery-stricken, when the fruit of their work is exhausted.

Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards are therefore addressed to an ignorant person.  

Adhyasa Bhashya: ~ (11) As regards the rituals, Sage Sri, Sankara says, the person who performs rituals and aspires for rewards will view himself in terms of the caste into which he is born, his age, the stage of his life, his standing in society, etc. In addition, he is required to perform rituals all through his life. However, the Self has none of those attributes or tags. Hence, the person who superimposes all those attributes on the changeless, eternal Self and identifies Self with the body is confusing one for the other; and is, therefore, an ignorant person. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are therefore addressed to an ignorant person. -Adhyasa Bhashya

Adhyasa Bhashya:~ (11.1) This ignorance (mistaking the body for Self) brings in its wake a desire for the well-being of the body, aversion for its disease or discomfort, fear of its destruction and thus a host of miseries(anartha).This anartha is caused by projecting karthvya(“doer” sense) and bhokthavya (object) on the Atman. Sankara calls this adhyasa. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are, therefore, he says, addressed to an ignorant person. -Adhyasa Bhashya

Adhyasa Bhashya:~ (11.2) In short, a person who engages in rituals with the notion “I am an agent, doer, thinker”, according to Sage Sri, Sankara, is ignorant, as his behavior implies a distinct, separate doer/agent/knower; and an object that is to be done/achieved/known. That duality is avidya, an error that can be removed by vidya. -Adhyasa Bhashya

Spiritual moksha is synonymous with Brahman or God.

 Shruti says "brahmavit brahmaiva Bhavati" - He who knows Brahman becomes Brahman Itself.

In the Advaitic understanding of this statement, the "becoming" is only metaphorical. It is not as if something that was not Brahman suddenly becomes Brahman. Rather, "knowing Brahman" means a removal of the ignorance about the Self essential nature as Brahman.

To "know Brahman" is to "be Brahman". The one who has realized Atman as the Self, which is Brahman or God is the jivanmukta, one who is liberated even while embodied.

Such a realization should not and cannot just be a literal understanding of Advaita. The Jivanmukta is one who has realized himself is not the Self but the Self is Atman, which is Brahman or God.

Thus, moksha cannot be result action or karma nor it is obtained by devotional to any deity.

Moksha is not a result of anything other than perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’. All that is required is the removal of ignorance.

The realization of Brahman or God is possible on this very life not in the next life or next world. The serious and sincere seeker who has patience, humility and intense urge to know the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space, will be able to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

One, who has realized the ultimate truth or Brahman, is a Gnani. A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the consciousness.

 

All Gurus and paramparas belong to the religion. Religion is nothing to do with Sage Sri, Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom.

Identifying the Atman as Self is the most important in the Atmic path.  The consciousness is the substratum on which the dualistic illusion experienced. The consciousness is hidden by the dualistic illusion.   The consciousness dwells in everything and everywhere in the universe, which is the dualistic illusion.

The Atman, the real Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. The whole dualistic illusion is nothing but the consciousness, the consciousness alone is real and eternal.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman.  The Soul is in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self -evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.   The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness (Spirit), is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Brahman is God. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
