The knowledge of the single clay is the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.+

Sage Sankara’:~ VC ~293 The whole objective world is non-real. Neither is the ego real, for it is seen to be momentary. How then can the apparent notion "I know all" be true when the ego etc., are themselves momentary?

In the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness in and upon which the universe appears. Superimposed like a snake on a rope. The whole universe is reduced to the Soul in deep sleep.

All the success or failure one experiences in this world, whatever suffering and pleasure one experiences in this world is nothing but an illusory play played by the Soul, the ‘Self’.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is the witness consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theater, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

From the dualistic perspective, the world in which we are born, live, and die is a reality. The pain and pleasure we experience as an individual is a reality within the world in which we exist but we are unaware of the fact that the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. The knowledge of the single clay is the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

One may be poor or wealthy but he focuses on becoming more and wealthier in order to enjoy his life and look after master his family. Those who fail to become wealthy accept their life how it comes. Non-stop pursuing wealth and immersing in worldly enjoyment will not give him lasting satisfaction. Human life is a time-bound package. The journey starts from birth and ends at death.

People never bother to inquire about the nature of the world to realize their individual experience of birth, life, and death is a reality within the dualistic illusion.

Brihad Upanishad says: ~ “Every man says “I know.” What does he know?

Those who try to know the truth of their true existence ended up with ‘WHO AM ‘I’? without reaching anywhere. They thought ‘WHO AM ‘I? as inquiry is final.

When one is unable to quench his spiritual thirst from his Guru or teaching, he has to look elsewhere to clear the cobwebs of his understanding and to move forward in his spiritual quest.

It is no use in arguing with someone who has faith in his religion because for him there can be no possible refutation of what he believes, so a rational argument is entirely useless. He clings to his belief, so strongly that he makes no distinction between the truth and his belief. One has to know the fact that God cannot exist without his existence. The truth does not depend on Gods’ existence, but it entirely depends on man’s existence. Thus, it is foolish to venture into knowing the truth of Gods existence without verifying the facts about his own existence.

It is difficult for tradition-bound people to accept, anything as truth, other than what they inherited from them inborn and the inherited conditioning, and parental grooming, and their accumulated knowledge.

Only with an intense urge to know the truth and courage to accept the truth after verification with better understanding one will be able to drop all his accumulated dross, which is the main obstacle in Self-Realization.

As one moves deeper and deeper in his inner (mental) journey than he realizes what is written in my blogs and postings are true and he will become more receptive to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
