Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is not found in one books.+


Ashtavakra:~There is no wisdom whatsoever in the scriptures-just a collection of words.

The seeker should not bother about finding the meaning of what is written in the scriptures.

Sage Sankara says The study of the scriptures is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is not found in one book. Some people think they have read Ashtavakra Gita and mastered the knowledge. Ashtavakra Gita was misinterpreted based on the dualistic perspective by many people and published in the past.

It is for the seeker to do his own homework to know where is the fault by using his own reason

What I know is right, what another man knows is wrong this attitude is common to all men and prevents realization. A man must begin by doubting his own knowledge, therefore. Only when doubts begin to arise does a man start in quest of Truth. And such doubts helps to unfold the truth hidden by ignorance.

Quotation from scriptures should come only after deeper verification convinced by the use of reason based on the non-dualistic perspective. The scriptural citation can be quoted after deeper verification in order to show that you have reached the same conclusion as the scriptural conclusion.

The seeker must go to the very fundamentals, to the root of thinking, to grasp the truth hidden by the ignorance, and not merely repeat the words of the scriptures.

Interpretations of sacred texts, the force of scriptural mastery merit--none of these lead to the realization of that the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Ashtavakra or any other books are not final authority because it has been misinterpreted by different authors based on their egocentric outlook. The Soulcentric knowledge cannot be grasped on the dualistic understanding.

Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal.

The study of Upanishad was neither indispensable nor a necessary prerequisite for attaining the human goal, the moksha.

All that one was required to do was to get rid of ignorance.

There is no need to read books after books. You need to realize only the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of that single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Advaitic Gnana.

No books can do more than help us to find it, and even without them, we can get all truth if you search for the truth which is hidden by the world in which we exist.

You have the love for books without bondage to them; and read the books, but do not believe blindly because it well written with the ornamental world, but think for yourself.

No blind belief can save you, work out on your own to find the truth, which hidden by the form, time, and space. Think the Soul is your inner Guru - that Soul is an eternal help.

There is no need to read books to realize the truth which is beyond form, time, and space.

Like a servant who carries a lamp in front of you to find your way, and you have found it, so becomes the spiritual books to that person who has realized the Truth. why should the seeker depend upon any book furth?

Actual realization takes you beyond books. At a certain stage, books become a botheration. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
