You and the world coexist together and disappear together.+

People who are yearning for spiritual or Brahmic truth will not find it through intellectualism. Intellectual truth is individual truth.

Intellectual discussion is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth because intellectual knowledge is limited to the domain of the form, time, and space.

Mundaka Upanishads:~ So-called spiritual pundits and learned are called children because a child takes whatever it thinks as truth. The question never occurs to children “Is what I have seen or thought really the truth?" (P.334 line 9)

Self-knowledge cannot be attained by taking sanyasa, by the study of the scriptures and intellectual understanding, or by bookish knowledge. Therefore there is no use in studying the scriptures and other scriptures in order to acquire non-dual wisdom. That is why Buddha rejected the scriptures, and even Sage Sankara indicated that the ultimate truth lies beyond religion, the religious idea of God, and scriptures.

There is only one Reality to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by the religion. Self-discovery is the only way, towards non-dual Absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusion in which we all are searching for the truth of our true existence.

That is why Sage Sankara declare: ~ VC 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by good work, nor by learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation possible, and by no other means.

Religious truth is individual truth and it is not a universal truth because religion is based on individuality. Spiritual truth is the universal truth.

There is no scope for individuality in the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. In the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman the form, time, and space are one in essence. The essence is consciousness, Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal and all else is merely an illusion.:

Remember:~

Until you give up the idea of individuality and the world is apart from you. It is impossible to realize the ‘Self’’ because the Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the formless, timeless, and spaceless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You and the world coexist together and disappear together. Until you think the world is separate from you, it becomes impossible to understand, assimilate, and realize the 'Self, ’ which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Thus, you have to renounce the idea that you are an individual separate from the world, to realize the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. And that clay is the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. Realizing the Soul as the ‘Self’ is ‘Self’-realization. : ~
