Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is meant for those who wish to realize the truth which is hidden by illusory universe or Maya.+

The wisdom will not dawn because of your good or bad conduct. 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 the ignorance.

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is meant for those who wish to realize the truth which is hidden by 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 Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead to the final Goal. (Commentary on Vedanta Sutra) Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification.

Sage Sankara is the only Sage who has final authority on the Advaitic truth (nonduality). The Advaitic truth is rational truth and scientific truth and ultimate truth without dogma.

Reading and reflecting on my post and blogs helps you to realize what is the truth and what is the untruth. Without knowing what is the truth? -  it is impossible to realize what is the untruth. Reading and reflection on my posts and blogs help the seeker sow the seed of Advaita in his subconscious.

First: reading and hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is an illusion.

Second: ~ Reasoning upon from all points of view.

Third: ~ giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth.

This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and the universe is unreal.

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 not-Self.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads truth realization.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified.

Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the Self is non-dual because there is no second thing 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 are merely an illusion.

Rig Veda:~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'-  Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth. 

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) 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.

Remember:~  

The ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You are the birth, entity, and you are bound by the life, death, and the world whereas the Soul is birthless, deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The experience of the birth, life, death, and the world is nothing to do with the Soul because the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the  Self.

Thus, the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a reality within the dualistic illusion. The illusion has no value from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self. Mentally reduce the dualistic illusion as the Soul or the consciousness and rest in consciousness.

It is not you who has to get freedom but it is the Soul, the  ‘Self’ that is seeking freedom from experiencing the birth, life, death, and universe as a reality.

Only when the Soul, the ‘Self’-wakes up from the sleep of ignorance the freedom happens. For this, it has to drop the inborn samskara or conditioning, which is present in the form of the ‘I’ by realizing is inborn ignorance.

It is erroneous to think from the base of the body when the ‘Self’ is not the body. The ‘Self’ is not the body; therefore the individual life is nothing to do with the Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul is unborn eternal because it is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
