No amount of Diksha or yoga meeting Gurus and visiting Ashrams leads anywhere. Your guide is within and it guides you to the core of what you are seeking.
Swami Vivekananda said:~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
Bhagavan Buddha said:~ Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you, yourself’ test and judge to be true.
Your inner work is on. There is no need to neglect practical life within the practical world.
There is no need to indulge 24/7 on spirituality or Adyathma but use your spare time for it.
Do not neglect your family and personal life and spend money on your pursuit of truth. Be happy like any other human beings enjoy life with humility and dignity in the practical world.
Internally focus your attention on the Soul, the ‘Self’, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, the Self is free from the illusory form, time, and space.
There is no need to renounce and take sanyasa in order to get Self-realization.
You should not neglect your individual and family life. Enjoy life as it comes and also must face difficulties as they come.
As your inner conviction about the Soul grows you will be able to realize ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘what is the untruth?’ and be able to see the world in which you exist as a passing cloud that hides the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time and space. :
Come ye slow, or come ye fast; it is but the Soul that reveals itself at last.
Remember:~
Sage Goudpada: ~ “Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.
A person who is not able to grasp the Advaitic truth should constantly reflect on the formless substance witness of the three states, without distraction.
The ‘Self’ is neither the waking entity nor ‘Self ‘is the dream entity, but the ‘Self’ is a formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul is the formless substance and witness of the three states. The Self is beyond form, time, and space.
There is no need to renounce the worldly duties and become a monk, yogi, or a sanyasi in order to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The idea of becoming a sannyasi or becoming a yogi or a monk belongs to the religious or yogic path, not the Atmic path. The religious and yogic paths are nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The pursuit of truth is the inner (mental) journey one can continue with his pursuit whenever he finds spare time. His practical life within the practical world does not conflict with his knowledge.:~
