The truth is universal. Anyone can realize it if he has an intense urge.+

First, the seeker must know the religion and yoga are not spirituality or Adyathma. Religion is based on matter whereas spirituality or Adyathma is based on the Spirit or Soul. 

Adyatma is nothing to do with religious sect or creed and religious belief. Adyatma is pure spirituality. Knowledge of Atma is Adyatma. Advaita is Adyatma.

Adyatma is the knowledge of the truth beyond the form, time, and space. Bifurcate religion, yoga, and theoretical philosophy and based the truth on the Athma it is Adyatma.

Adyatma is based on the ultimate truth which is based on the Atma or Spirit, which is the Self.

Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality or Adyathma.

The path of wisdom is divided into three parts:~

First: hearing the truth--that the consciousness is the only reality and that the universe along with you merely an illusion or Maya. 

Second: Reasoning upon these words of wisdom of Sage Sankara from all points of view. 

Third: Giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. 

You are being conditioned by the religious myth which has made you a non-thinker. Come out of the religious myth by realizing God in truth.

Sage Sankara says: ~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together.

The seeker of truth has to accept the truth as God and reject the untruth to realize other than the Atman the real God alone is real and all else is an illusion created of the Atman the only God.

Some gurus say:~

Find the 'I' thought.

Find out who is the thinker?

Find who is the doubter?

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that:

Remember this " ‘I’ is not the thought"

The ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep(nonduality).

It is foolish to limit the ‘I’ as a thought, because. the without the ‘I’ the universe ceases to exist.

You are the thinker because the thinker and thoughts exist in the domina of the form, time, and space. the form, time, and space cease to exist without the ‘I’. thus, it proves that the ‘I’ is not limited to the thought or thinker or doubter.

The seeker should not get entangled with ‘I’ based Gurus and their teaching. Sentimentally and emotionally getting entangled with physical Gurus living or dead blocks realization of the truth which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

That is why Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing because a wise man said it, Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you yourself judge to be true

Buddha: - There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

Buddha:~ "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven, or hell."

Be an independent thinker.

Jesus said:~"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)

Jesus said: ~” Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS- Saying 5)

Jesus said:~ Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)

~ Jesus meant Self-knowledge (pearls) should not be shared with unqualified people(pigs).

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.”

Blindly believing in some path, following some guru, practicing some so-called spiritual practice without verification will not help you to get rid of the ignorance. The truth - realization is very simple. We make it complicated by mixing diverse theories, different ideologies, religions, and yoga.

All our accumulated knowledge is the greatest hindrance in the pursuit of truth. To realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space, one must have the courage of Buddha. Buddha got enlightenment only after dropping the religion, Vedas, and the concept of God. To realize the simple truth three is no need to go from one mountain to another, one Ashram to another or worship the Godmen or Guru as a God, or converting from one faith to another.

The truth is universal. Anyone can realize it if he has an intense urge. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. In the world in which we exist, all our thoughts, words, beliefs, experiences are nothing but consciousness. Realizing consciousness is everything, is truth realization or Self-realization or God-realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
