The Soul itself is the God in truth. Nothing exists without the Soul because everything is created out of the Soul or God in truth.+

The Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth. 

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The Soul, the Self is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness pervades in everything and everywhere in the universe because the universe is nothing but consciousness.

The ‘Self is not this body the Self is the Supreme Soul. The universe hides the Soul. The Soul itself is God. Nothing exists without the Soul because everything is created out of the Soul, which is God in truth.

You don’t recognize the ‘Self’ because you are blindfolded by the dualistic illusion. The Soul, the Self is hidden by the universe, which is a dualistic illusion or Maya.

Those Gurus say you are formless; you are birthless without knowing the Self is not you but the ‘Self' is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Those Gurus who assert the Self as you are still ignorant of the 'Self' hidden by the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

You are not the Self because you are bound by the birth, life, death, and the world whereas the Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless because, it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

If you think the Self is you then you are not a wise seeker you are ignorant because your existence is limited to the domain of the form, time, and space.

Guru says simply surrender to God without knowing what God is in actuality. There is nothing to surrender. The surrender implies duality. The duality disappears when the Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Those Gurus say surrender to Guru belongs to religion and yoga is not spirituality. religion and yoga are nothing to do with spirituality.

To realize the ‘Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion, you have to realize the dualistic illusion is made of single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. Knowledge of the single clay is Self-knowledge o or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into waking experience and waking experience into mind and mind into consciousness by perfect understating of ‘what is what’.

When you realize ’what is what’ you will realize everything is nothing but consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. When there is unity in diversity in our understanding then there is stillness in the midst of diversity.

The Soul, the Self is existence itself. The Soul, the Self is existence without the illusory division of form, time, and space. The Soul, the Self is the fullness of consciousness. The Soul, the Self is Advaita one without the Second.

The Soul the Self is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. The Soul, the Self is God the Advaita. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Gods based on blind faith or blind belief is not God in truth.+

 

Relgious ideas of Gods based on blind faith or belief are not God in truth. Gods based on blind belief whether with form or without the form are not God in truth.

God in truth is Supreme Spirit is not based on blind belief. God in truth pervades in everything and everywhere in the whole universe. Gods based on blind faith or blind belief is not God in truth.

God in truth has to be realized not worshipped or glorified through prayers.

Every religion concocts a God to suit its own purposes. Such religiously concocted Gods are not God in truth.

God in truth is the Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is Brahman or the Vedic God.

Rig Veda:~ ‘Prajnanam Brahma’ - Consciousness is the ultimate reality.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32: ~ God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

The Vedas exclaim from time immemorial: ~

Rig Veda, 1-164-146. :~ ‘Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti’- Existence is One.

God is one and universal. God is hidden by the universe. the universe is the product of ignorance.

God is the Spirit. The Spirit is the Soul, the innermost Self. God is the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is the Supreme Being the One eternal homogeneous essence, indivisible consciousness, and intelligence, which is beyond the form, time, and space. To which the Sages describe in a variety of ways through diverse words.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘Brahmano hi pratisthaham’- Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (Gita 14.27)

Upanishads say in effect that: ~ if you believe that the Soul is one and God (Brahman) is another you cannot understand Truth.

Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God there is no truth."

The man himself suggests that there must be a God. It is an auto-suggestion. The belief is not God. God of belief cannot exist without the believer. Each religion has its own idea of God.

Prayers and sacrifices belong to the belief system. Belief in conceptual God kills man’s ability to think beyond the form, time, and space. Thus, religion makes one remain in the prison of physicality. When no answers come to prayers and rituals, the struggle for existence presses man, and doubt arises again.

Faith in religion weakens as man pays more attention to the facts of life and this world. Religion is not the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Read, reason, and reflect on my blogs and posts, again and again, to get a firm conviction of the truth.+

Unless one drops all his garbage accumulated knowledge it is impossible to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion.

The seeker has to think deeply instead of passing the opinion on his own point of view and he has to drop the judgmental attitude, which blocks the realization of the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

Constant repetition and persistence are the way to sow the seed of the non-dual truth, in the subconscious.

One of the reasons I have been expressing about its repetition of the same thing again, and again is to grasp the Advaitic truth.

It takes few months for seekers to assimilate what is been said through messages, seeker not only reads the messages by constantly reflecting on the true Self on these messages is with constant mental exercises he will be able to grasp and assimilate the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The seekers who have an intense urge, truth-oriented, and ready to verify everything, and ready to accept the truth after verification will reach the non-dual destination without hurdles.

Religionists, theorists, and some intellectuals can never grasp what is being said here; because they have preconceived ideas of their accepted truth, therefore, they refuse to verify the facts.

Always anything communicated through these messages comes from the `inner core of the existence'(Soul), not from judgment based on the ego.

The seeker may find it a bit of irritation at first repetitive messages, it will be stirred enough to divert their attention from the Atman and the point of view I am emphasizing on. Only through frequent

Repetition the seeker will be able to grasp and focus his attention from the form, (body) to formless (Soul) and able to grasp and assimilate the Self- knowledge.

The seeker has to read repeatedly, write repeatedly, and reflect on the subject repeatedly which helps the seeker to get a firm conviction of un-contradicted truth.

The seeker has to his own homework to overcome ignorance.

Hearing the words of wisdom of Sage Sankara is the first stage. [sravana]

To get full and firm understanding reflecting on Sage Sankara’s wisdom very much necessary. [manana]

Understanding reality without clarity is disastrous. The lethargic attitude makes one remain in ignorance without proper inquiry and a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’.

Remember:~

Read, reason, and reflect, again and again, to get a firm conviction. By repeated reading and reflection on my blogs and posts helps the seeker to get rid of all accumulated knowledge, which is blocking his realization of truth.

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and posting is a mental exercise to sow the seed of Advaita. That is the only way to make the egocentric subconscious soulcentric.

By reading my posts and blogs often propels the reader into the thinking process. By reading the repetition of the words on this subject, the inner whirling in the subconscious takes place which replaces the old thoughts by accepting the new thoughts.

Perfect understanding removes all sorts of an obstacle in the pursuit of truth. Only through constant repetition of words in my posts will make one think differently but it also creates more doubts and confusion in his subconscious and his inner urge to know the truth, even more, intense. And it also helps to overcome some of our conditioning, which we have inherited from parental grooming and circumstances.

Repetition of the words assists a seeker to help to focus his attention from form (body) to formless (Soul or consciousness), which is very much necessary in pursuit of truth. And repetition is an effective tool and has an effect on the subconscious mind, which is not receptive to receive new truth because it is conditioned to receive only logical conclusions based on ego (waking entity or you). : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

All the philosophies are a mental fabrication. There has never been a single doctrine by which one could reveal the whole truth.+

All the philosophies are a mental fabrication. There has never been a single doctrine by which one could reveal the whole truth.

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 clearly says:~ Neither studying philosophy nor by worship as many gods nor observe ceremonies nor by singing devotional hymns nor by uttering mantra nor by mastering the scriptures liberation comes without realizing the Oneness.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana cannot be surmised by merely reading the Vedas and Upanishads.

All your accumulated knowledge is religious-based nothing to with the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

All your accumulated knowledge is not of any use in realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.  

If you want to realize the truth then you have to drop all accumulated knowledge and start afresh.  do not hold your accumulated knowledge as a yardstick.

Remember:~  

I am highlighting some scriptural citations only to show the seeker that the Advaitic Sages themselves declare that scriptures, religion, and ideas of God are unimportant in pursuit of truth. It is easier to understand, assimilate and realize the ultimate truth or non-dualistic truth by rationalizing our views and understanding:-

There is no need to condemn any ones’ views and ideas or writing, but without being judgmental, the seeker has to verify whether the author is speaking on the standpoint of ego, or whether he is speaking on the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’. If his views are based on the standpoint of the physical ‘Self’ (ego), then there are many doubts and confusion. If his views are based on the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ then there is no confusion and doubts of any sort.

Nothing has to be accepted without verifying the validity of any claim in pursuit of truth. Only the uncontradictable truth has to be accepted as truth. There is no need to condemn any religion or any saints or sages, but the seeker has to think beyond religion, scriptures, and individualized Gods.

It is difficult to understand assimilate within a framework of some teaching or holding some philosophy as a yardstick.

We have to drop all our accumulated dross to understand and assimilate and realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.

There is nothing to discuss, there is nothing to argue to acquire the knowledge of the single clay. All words, all the thoughts, all the people the whole cosmos is created out of single clay. That single clay is consciousness. Knowledge of the single clay is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atman Gnana.

Thus, stick to consciousness and mentally drop everything else as an illusion and enter the Advaita, the real nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The sugar cannot know its sweetness. The true ‘Self’ without ignorance is without the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Thus, you have to base on the sugar, not on its sweetness. Without sugar, there is no sweetness. Similarly, without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist as a reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

A Gnani is neither anyone’s gurus nor anyone’s disciple.+

A Gnani is neither anyone’s gurus nor anyone’s disciple. Gnani respects all the Sages of the past and highlights good points in their teaching and he also highlights how their wisdom becomes obstacles, which blocks the realization of the ultimate truth.

According to Sages of truth, the Atmic path is not meant for the religious and yogic mindset. There is no need to convince anyone and waste time in perverted arguments and provocation.

The seeker's aim is to think deeply reflect constantly to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The ignorant who want to remain in ignorance is not qualified for the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The Atmic path is not for the religious and yogic-minded people. Religious and yogic people must move on their chosen path. The Atmic path is for only seekers of truth who are seriously searching the truth of their own existence.

Sages of truth restrained themselves parting the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to the mass and only a selected few. It was hidden from the people who were not qualified and receptive to it. Self- it was given knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.

Thus, religion was given to the mass and knowledge of the spirit is given only selected a few. Thus, we find traces of the knowledge of the spirit in the religious books in the form of parables.

Katha Upanishad says: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals Its own form. (II -23-P-20)

Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)

The Soul, the 'Self' reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

Do not believe in a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe in a thing because wise man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by dualistic knowledge Find out the truth about yourself. Use Soulcentric reason, which leads to the realization of the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Advaitic wisdom can never be gained by argument and provocation. Discard all the accumulated dualistic knowledge by realizing the world in which you exist, exists because of ignorance. Get rid of the ignorance by realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Realizing the ‘Self’’ is not you but the Soul is Self-realization. The Soul is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.

Katha Upanishad says ~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch~ II-5 P-14)

Those who indulge in a perverted argument from their own standpoint and opinion are not seeking the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. They just want to exhibit their accumulated knowledge accumulated from here and there. They think what they know is the ultimate truth.

They think whatever they propagate is the ultimate truth. The question never occurs to them, “Is what I know is really the truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Vedas say God in truth is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the cause and support of the universe.+

 

The seekers of truth have to follow the Atmic path to realize the Athma the ‘Self’ is God in truth. Atmic path is the Vedic path because Vedic God is Athma.

The Vedic religion or Santana Dharma emphasizes Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization. God-realization itself is real worship.

The Vedas do not talk about idol worship; the followers of Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma never worshipped idols. Thus all the Puranic Gods which are of the form and attributes are not Vedic Gods.

Vedas say God in truth is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the cause and support of the universe.

Max Müller says: ~ "The religion of the Veda knows no idols; the worship of idols in India is a secondary formation, a degradation of the more primitive worship of idolized Gods."

Hinduism is not Vedic religion or Santana Dharma. Hindus do idol-worship, while Vedas bars idol worship.

The Vedas do not talk about idol worship. In fact, till about 2000 years ago followers of Vedism never worshipped idols. Idol worship was started by the followers of Buddhism and Jainism.

There is logic to idol worship. Vedas speak of one God that is the supreme ‘Self’ in i.e. Atman or Soul but Hinduism indulges in worshiping 60 million Gods. All these 60 million Gods are non-Vedic Gods based on the beliefs.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad:~ "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1.4.10)

The Vedas confirms God is Atman (Spirit), the ‘Self’.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the ‘Self’. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.

Rig Veda declares God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why believe and worship in place of real God.

Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God there is no truth."

When Upanishad itself says: ~ ‘Sarvam khalvidam Brahma’ ~ all this (universe) is verily Brahman. By following back all of the relative appearances in the world, we eventually return to that from which it is all manifest – the non-dual reality (Chandogya Upanishad).

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘Brahmano hi pratisthaham’ ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27)

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita:~ “All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many gods. (7- Verse -20)

Lord Krishna Says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth." The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

So, on the Vedic perspective, Lord Krishna is not a Vedic God because Rig Veda says: May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?"

That is why Lord Krishna Says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth. The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

All Hindus indulge in non-Vedic practice barred by the Vedas introduced by the different founders of the different sects of Hinduism at aa different times, whereas the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma is ancient and has no founder.

Hinduism is not Vedic religion or Santana Dharma. Hindus do idol-worship, while Vedas bars idol worship.

Yajur Veda indicates that: ~

They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc (Yajurveda 40:9)

Those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Then why worship and glorify the non-Vedic Gods in place of Vedic God when Veda bars such activities and it also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

Sage Sankara: ~"That which permeates all, which nothing transcends and which, like the universal space around us, fills everything completely from within and without, that Supreme non-dual Brahman or God in truth."

One must remember that for all periods the Vedas are the final goal and authority, and if the Puranas differ in any respect from the Vedas, the Puranas are to be rejected without mercy.

If you feel Puranas say something and the Vedas say something else, reject the Puranas and believe in the Vedas. The Puranas are just a myth.

Even Sage Sankara says: ~ Supreme Brahman (God) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other besides it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described, because description implies a distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It. In Brahman, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constitutes the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman, and not just its attributes. The nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.

God is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Thus, according to the Vedas God neither has any image nor God resides in any particular idol or statue. God cannot be seen directly by anyone.

On the Vedic perspective, Lord Krishna has been just a Mahan yogi and not God himself. Because in the Bhagavad Gita it says: Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Atman, the Spirit is a universal God. All religious propagated Gods are based on blind faith or belief are not God in truth.+

The Soul, the Self is not Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist”, because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

In religion, there is no freedom to believe other than what it preaches. Religious people consider the mythological stories as truth and not believing in mythological Gods is irreligious. The mythological God can exist within the domain of duality. From the Advaitic perspective, duality is merely an illusion. Thus, whatever belongs to the illusion is bound to be a falsehood.

The religion declares one must believe that there is no other God but God propagated by the particular belief system.

The seeker has to deny the existence of such a God based on the belief because first, one must realize what God really is.

People find some of the religious doctrines are very illuminating. People who renounce the world and become a monk or sanyasi who leaves it all behind to find the truth of their true existence.

People think the events that happened in the mythological stories really happened the way they are described and hallucinate about these stories.

Swami Vivekananda: ~The masses in India cry to sixty million Gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods?

Swami Vivekananda: ~ If religion and life depend upon books or upon the existence of any prophet whatsoever, then perish all religion and books! Religion is in us. No books or teachers can do more than help us to find it, and even without them, we can get all truth within. You have gratitude for books and teachers without bondage to them and worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly; love him all you will, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation. Have only one idea of God - that He is an eternal help.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ The Self is indeed Brahman (God), but through ignorance, people identify it with intellect, mind, senses, passions, and the elements of earth, water, air, space, and fire. This is why the ‘Self’ is said to consist of this and that and appears to be everything.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘Brahmano hi pratisthaham’ ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Lord Krishna Says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know me in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the innermost Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

The Vedas confirms God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.

Rig Veda declares God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why believe and worship in place of real God. Atman, the Spirit is a universal God. All religions propagated Gods based on blind belief are not God in truth.

Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God there is no truth."

Chandogya Upanishad: ~ Sarvam khalvidam brahma ~ all this (universe) is verily Brahman. By following back all of the relative appearances in the world, we eventually return to that from which it is all manifest – the non-dual reality (The Soul, the Self is not Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist”, because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other besides it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described, because description implies distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It. In Brahman, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constitutes the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman, and not just Its attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.

Sage Sankara: ~"That which permeates all, which nothing transcends and which, like the universal space around us, fills everything completely from within and without, that Supreme non-dual Brahman or God in truth."

Thus, truth realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization because the Soul, the Self itself is God. God-realization itself is real worship. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Everyone has to grasp assimilate and realize it until he gets a firm conviction of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.+

Self –knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is inexhaustible wealth. Other wealth disappears as one spends, but with the Self –knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the more one shares more he gains.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not the knowledge of religion and religious Gods. Religion its religious Gods are nothing to do with Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana knowledge of the Spirit or God in truth, hidden by the ‘I’, which is ignorance.

Nothing is needed for acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana other than perfect understanding, assimilation, and realization of ‘what is what”

The dualistic illusion is present only when the form, time, and space are present. The form, time, and space are one, in essence. The ego, body, and the world are one, in essence.   

The birth, life, death, and the world are one, in essence. The three states are one, in essence. That essence is consciousness. The thinker thought and the world are one, in essence.  Thus, there is no division in consciousness in reality.

If someone has acquired Self-knowledge and shares his acquired knowledge with others, they cannot say that there is nothing for them to do. Everyone has to discover a fresh for himself by verifying all the facts. 

Everyone has to grasp assimilate and realize it until he gets a firm conviction of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Isa Upanishads indicates that: ~ “ By worshipping Gods and Goddesses and going to the world of Gods after death is of no use. The time one spends in ritualistic practices is wasted; one can spend the same time moving forward towards Self-knowledge, which is the main goal. One cannot reach the non-dual destination by glorifying God and Goddesses and by doing that, one goes deeper and deeper into darkness. It surely indicates the fact that the seeker of truth has to drop the worshiping God and Goddess in order to get Self-knowledge.

Ish Upanishad:~ "Those people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide.

10/11/12

Those people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide, as it were, are doomed to enter those worlds after death.

This is a condemnation of people who do not try to attain Self-knowledge. They are, in a real sense, committing suicide, for what can be worse than being a slave to sense enjoyment, completely oblivious of the real purpose of life, which is to be one’s, own master?

Ish Upanishads:-

MANTRA 10

Vidya and Avidya both are hindrances to Self-knowledge, but Vidya is even worse than Avidya. The word Vidya is used here in a special sense; here it means worshipping Gods and Goddesses. By worshipping Gods and Goddesses you will go after death to the world of Gods and Goddesses. But will that help you? The time you spent there is wasted because if you were not there you could have spent that time moving forward towards Self-knowledge, which is your goal. In the world of Gods and Goddesses, you cannot do that, and thus you go deeper and deeper into darkness.

Avidya is Karma and therefore a hindrance. You perform Avidya - i.e., you perform Agnihotra and other sacrifices. This is a roundabout way of purifying the mind, and it is also groping in the dark. But it may not have as heavy a toll on your time and energy as the other.

Ishopanishad: ~ “They are steeped in ignorance and sunk into the greatest depth of misery who worships the matter, instead of the All-Pervading God and those who worship things born of matter like trees, animals, man, etc. are sunk deeper in misery."

It is necessary for the seeker to do his homework, and verify the validity of all the claims, rather than blindly believe, what others expound as knowledge, till; the un-contradicted truth is obtained.

The seeker must have the courage of Bhagavan Buddha to accept the truth and reject the untruth. Since Bhagavan Buddha rejected religion, the idea of God and scriptures, therefore, it is evident that he has gone through every aspect and verified and found them to be inadequate and useless for the pursuit of truth.

That is why Bhagavan 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.

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

Millions are searching for truth but one in million will realize it. If you are a truth seeker then you are one from that million.

Bhagavan Buddha: ~ Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

Remember:~

I just write what is revealed from the inner core. My main intention is to divert their attention to the source from where the mind (universe) rises and subsides.

Reading my blogs gradually they will start assimilation ‘what is truth and what is untruth. Repeated reading my blogs makes the seeker, Soulcentric, and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.

When there are no doubts and confusion, then they have realized the truth that the form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness.

There is no use in wasting time in questioning and arguing same time and effort has to be used to make the seeker more independent and without external spoon-feeding, he can reach the inner core, which is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The words that mean different things to different people take it or leave it, it matters not to me. It is what's behind the words, between the lines that matter. Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant for the class, not for the mass. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
