By becoming a sanyasi or monk one will not get Self-realization or truth realization or God-realization.+

Following 'I-centric or 'You-centric' Gurus and their teaching permanently keep the Soul, the Self is in the prison of ignorance. 

There is no need to convince anyone who is stuck up with the idea of having a Guru because he will never be convinced and he is unfit to acquire Advaitic wisdom.

Yoga Vasistha says: ~ Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor)nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only by means of inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.

Manduka Upanishads: ~It is very difficult to find out who is a Gnani because he bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the religious robe has anything to do with him.

A Gnani is not a monk or sanyasi or Sadhu or swami. Religion is nothing to do with the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

By becoming a sanyasi or monk one will not get Self-realization or truth realization or God-realization.

What is the use of becoming a sanyasi or monk when the ‘Self ‘is not you? You are the false ‘Self’ within the dualistic illusion.

Sage Sankara VC- (2), states that the Knower of the Atman (i.e., a Gnani) "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).

Select Works of Sage Sankara" also his commentary on Brihad: ~ “Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."

All those who have taken sanyasa and monkhood belong to religion and yoga, not Gnanis because they identify themselves as holy people.

A Gnani cannot have the idea of giving up, renouncing the world or some object or person in the world, because that would connote the idea of duality. Knowing no second thing at all there remains nothing to be given up.

A Gnani, on attaining realization, will not give up his vocation in life but will continue it as before. If he was a billniore, he continues so, if a peasant, he will remain one. He still does his duty, but he is fully aware of the fact that his practical life within the practical world is merely an illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
