Sage Sankara has declared Advaitic truth 1200 years back but it was hidden. Only serious seekers will be able to find and realize it.+

Consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth. There is no higher truth other than consciousness. To realize this truth, there is no need to follow any path. There is no need to follow anyone. There is no need to become a wandering monk. There is no need to renounce worldly life.

Realizing consciousness or Spirit is the ultimate in spirituality. There is nothing else to realize other than realizing that there is no second thing exist other than consciousness.

Realizing consciousness is second to none is truth realization. Even if you search for a million years, you will only come to a final conclusion and realization that the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

If the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness, then what else is there to realize other than realizing consciousness alone is real, and the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.

If the world in which you exist is merely an illusion, the experience of birth, life, and death that happens in the illusory world is bound to be an illusion or Maya.

If the world in which you exist is an illusion, then the division of form, time, and space is merely an illusion because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the innermost Self. The Soul, the Self, is the fullness of consciousness.

Mentally reducing the world in which you exist to consciousness leads to Self-awareness. Realizing consciousness as the ultimate truth is Advaita. That is, mentally reducing the dualistic illusion into non-dualistic reality is Advaita.

Sage Sankara declared the Advaitic truth 1200 years ago, but it was hidden. Only serious seekers will be able to realize it. The seeker who is sharp enough to grasp the Advaitic truth will be able to discover the hidden treasure.

Even scientists declare that in the future, the world is nothing but consciousness, the Sage Sankara alone is qualified for the Nobel Prize, not the scientists, because Sage Sankara declared it 1200 years back.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom has been lost: people misinterpret and falsify. Advaita is not a theory, but Advaita is the rational truth, the scientific truth, and the ultimate truth. But nobody knows it.

The teachers of philosophy and the Gurus or religion do not want to inquire into truth and have no time for it.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom has nothing to do with religion. Thus, all his religious teaching which are meant for the ignorant populace has to be bifurcated from his wisdom. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Going beyond the Vedas, religion and personal Gods means, going beyond the illusion means is the end of Vedas (Veda-antha).+

The seeker has to go beyond the Vedas to go beyond religion. Going beyond religion means going beyond the belief in God.

Going beyond the Vedas, religion and personal Gods means ~ going beyond the illusion, that is the end of the Vedas (Veda-antha).

When one goes into the annals of history, it looks like the true Advaita expounded by Sage Sankara and Sage Goudpada was lost or mutilated by the orthodox.

The Advaitic wisdom has nothing to do with orthodox preaching and practice because Advaitic orthodoxy is dogmatism. If you are the Advaitic orthodoxy has to be discarded if one wants to acquire ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Sage Sankara and Sage Goudpada are independent thinkers o; other schools of Indian philosophy are mere theologies. Advaitic philosophy is real philosophy. The dualistic philosophy cannot escape the charge of dogmatism.

Sage Sankara was an independent thinker. His wisdom has not been taken seriously by many in India because most of the followers of Sage Sankara are religious orthodoxy.

Yoga Vasistha:~ "Teachers, interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that Ultimate Truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the heart, engendered from contact with the good."

Anybody can write a commentary on the Upanishads and other great philosophic texts; all they need to do is to source out words. Some westerners, along with some orthodox pundits, translated and published books. The influence of Sage Sankara’s wisdom has nothing to do with orthodox belief systems.

The seeker must do his homework and verify the validity of all the claims, rather than blindly believe what orthodox pundits expound as knowledge, till; he uncontradicted truth is obtained.

Self- Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the only true knowledge n,ot the absence of duality. ’Self’ -Knowledge cannot destroy the world b, but it eliminates ignorance and exposes the unreal nature of the mind or the universe.

Sage Sankara:~63- Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the ‘Self’, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

Sage Sankara:~ VC- 61- For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

How does one get knowledge? What is meant by knowledge? What is true knowledge? –All this of which must be dealt with by the seeker of truth to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana does not destroy the world b, but it exposes the unreal nature of the world which appears as waking and experienced as reality by the person within the waking. In the same way, the unreality of the dream was exposed when waking took place. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Realize God in truth.+

It is merely a word used by the religion who believed there is a higher power which is the cause of the creation. Different religions used different words for the same thing. The idea depends on the man’s imagination. God is an English word. Different languages use different words for the same thing.

The words are there for only communication purposes. Sages of truth called the ultimate truth asahman. For then the ultimate truth is God.

The earliest use of the word God in Germanic writing is often cited to be in the Gothic Bible or Wulfila Bible, which is the Christian Bible as translated by Wulfila (a.k.a. Bishop Ulfilas) into the Gothic language spoken by the Eastern Germanic, or Gothic Tribes. The oldest parts of the Gothic Bible, contained in the Codex Argenteus, isarestimated to be from the fourth century. During the fourth century, the Goths were converted to Christianity, largely through the efforts of Bishop Ulfilas, who translated the Bible into the Gothic language in Nicopolis ad Istrum in today's northern Bulgaria. The words guda and guþ were used for God in the Gothic Bible .~wikii.

Yajurveda – Chapter 32:~ God Supreme or Supreme Spirit.

Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24)”,

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there.

There is no God but God. There is no God because the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of God, the Spirit. Call it by any name, God is universal. God belongs to the whole of humanity.

Religion creates separation. God is unity in diversity. God is one which the cause of the whole world in which humanity exists. There's no God b, but God means the world in which we exist is an illusion t. Gods the cause of the world I, which is real and eternal. God alone is real, and all else is an illusion. There is a second thing that exists other than the Spirit, God; thus, God is Advaita.

Religion belongs to you. Religious belief in God belongs to you. All religious code of conduct belongs to you. ReReligionelongs to you. But remember you belong to the falsehood because the world in which you exist is created out of the Spirit, the God, which is present in the form of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

God is divine, only held in the bondage of thnorance (matter); perfection will be reached when this bond bursts, and the word they use for it is, therefore, freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from ignorance.

Realize God in truth.

Religious Gods are mere beliefs. Belief is not God. The religiousod cannot be considered as the center because the Soul, the ‘Self’ i, is the center of all that exists. Without the soul, the world in which you exist ceases to exist; it means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence. God, in truth, is only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

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

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

Even the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Religious Gods are mere beliefs. The religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul, the ‘Self’, is the center of all that exists. Without the soul, the world in which you exist ceases to exist; it means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence.

Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman 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)

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)

All these experiences as a father, son, guru, pupil, and the world were one and the same consciousness appearing differently. All these distinctions disappear when one realizes the ultimate truth of Brahman or God. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

A Gnani sees duality as nonduality in the midst of duality because he has attained Gnana.+

Sage Goudpada: he was the first historic sage known to us to give a rational exposition of Advaita. He says that whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)

A permanent view of the world is an illusion that can come only after Soul centric reasoning; such knowledge cannot change. Were the seeker is sufficiently sharp he could grasp the unreal nature of the world by Soul-centric reasoning alone. To know the whole truth, one must know the whole universe, otherwise, he gets only half-truth.

Shruti has directly denied manifoldness in Brahman. The non-dual cause being an established fact, how could the phenomenal universe be different from It?

The Shruti has condemned (the belief in variety) in the words, “The person who”, being deceived by Maya, “sees variety in this (Brahman), goes from death to death”.

Since all beings are born of Brahman, the supreme Atman, they must be understood to be verily Brahman.

The Shruti has clearly declared that Brahman alone is the substratum of all varieties of names, forms, and actions.

The Shruti in the form of the Brihadaranyaka has declared that this Atman, which is the Self of all, is verily Brahman.

Renouncing the worldly life and accepting sanyasa or monk-hood means the incapacity to think deeper, impotency to inquire and reason.

Chandogya Upanishad -One who meditates upon and realizes the Self discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantram and meditation--all come from the Self.

Remember:~

Chandogya Upanishad: ~ “Whoever sees the Self in all does not see death, disease or diversity.

On the dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth. Life, death, and the world are a reality.

From the non-dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth. Life, death, and the world are an illusion.

Wherever there is duality there is the illusion. Wherever there is nonduality there is a reality.

A Gnani sees duality as nonduality in the midst of duality because he has attained Gnana.

First, the seeker has to know ‘what is the subject’ and ‘what is the object’. Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that”: the world in which we exist is an object to the formless subject. The formless subject is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Deeper verification reveals the fact that the object and the subject are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. Thus, an object is only an illusion created out of the formless subject. Thus, in reality, the subject is real exists eternal.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the object (three states), observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the object (three states) will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same three states. Each one interprets the three states that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, object (the world in which he exists as a reality), whereas a Gnani sees everything as the consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or the consciousness (subject). Thus, all objective observation has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
