There is no need to follow anyone. There is no need to practice anything but perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ leads to realizing the Self.+

If you are seeking truth then do not waste time finding a Guru and become his slave instead, work out your own salvation.

The Soul becomes the whole universe (duality in waking). The whole universe becomes the Soul (nonduality in deep sleep).

When the ‘Self is not you but the Soul why you are thinking of the physical Guru worshipping him. Such an act keeps you permanently in ignorance.

Come out of the religious conditioning by realizing the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If you are unable to come out of the Guru/disciple game you are not qualified for Advaitic wisdom. If you are seeking truth then do not waste time finding a Guru and become his slave instead work out your own salvation.

Without getting entangled to any Guru by blindly accepting what they preach and teach as truth. Think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation.

The Gurudom belongs to the religious and yogic path and it is nothing to do with the Advaitic path.

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)

There is no need of a Guru, to know you and your Guru and the world in which you exist are created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. Knowledge of that single stuff is the Self-knowledge of Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Gnana is given neither from outside nor from another person.

There is no need to follow anyone. There is no need to practice anything but perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ leads to realizing the Self, which is hidden by the illusory form, time and space.

The Soul the ’Self’ revels ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

Sage Sri, Sankara says the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)

~ then why you are sticking to a Guru who is not a Gnani.

Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation.

Those who tell you that Brahman is unity, that you can get it only by intuition, that you should not reason, you should not question or inquire, are deluding you. Verification must come by thought. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
