No Guru can transmit the Gnana. The seeker can realize the truth without a Guru. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation.+

If one is searching for truth, he is not aware of the fact that he is searching for the truth within illusion with the illusory identity.

There is no me or you or us, no seeker, no world, no enlightenment, no disciple and no guru, no teaching, when one becomes aware that, the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

There is no birth, life, death purpose of life, and nothing that has to be achieved when one realizes and becomes aware, his physical identity and his experience of the world are merely an illusion.

Tripura Rahasya: ~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self-gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that. Realize yourself, turning your attention inward. (18: 89)

The Seekers from all over the world visit India in the quest for truth by spending their hard-earned money, energy, and time attending retreats visiting ashrams and spiritual centers of such fake Gurus.

India has become fertile ground for fraudsters in the guise of Gurus to thrive in the name of yoga with diverse paths and practices.

Superstition, dogmas, blind faith, miracle, and fortune-seeking followers are the ones who help such fake Gurus to prosper in India. Most Indian populace is innocent sincere and emotionally involved in their inherited belief.

There is no need to condemn the religious Gurus, yogis, and swamis they belong to the path of ignorance to serve the ignorant populace to inject moral, ethics and love, and peace.

The seeker has to be very careful about the fraudster in the guise of Guru, swamis, yogis, sanyasis, and Godmen.

No Guru can transmit the Gnana. The seeker can realize the truth without a Guru. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation. Have only one idea that God is Atma - that He is an eternal help.

Remember:~

The one who identifies himself as a swami or a Guru or a yogi is not a Gnani. A Gnani never identifies himself as a swami, Guru, pundit, or yogi. The Swami, Guru, pundit, or the yogi belongs to the religious or the yogic path not to the path of wisdom.

That is why Sage Sankara's commentary: "The knower of Brahman(A Gnani) wears no signs.

It is impossible for the seeker to discard the ‘I’ because they are stuck up with the idea that ‘I’ itself is the Self. In the past, most of the Gurus and their teachings glorified the ‘I’, and people take it as a final and accepted it as the ultimate truth.

Such acceptance without verifying the fact about the ‘I’, their journey is incomplete. Blind acceptance and reverence to the guru will not help the seeker to get rid of ignorance.

Read repeatedly, think and reason deeply reflect constantly only of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing exists other than consciousness. Consciousness is everywhere and it is everything. Consciousness alone is and the world in which you exist is an illusion. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

As the conviction about the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, becomes firm in the subconscious, the Soul becomes free from the cage of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Only an intense urge to realize the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The Advaitc truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have to only realize 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.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.

People need reading and hearing the words of wisdom to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the innermost Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Reading my posts and blogs repeatedly helps you to get a yardstick for the subconscious to judge ‘what is truth’ and ‘what is untruth’ and replace the truth in the place of the untruth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
