Do not try to become a Guru or a disciple. Advaitic Gnana is not teaching or preaching. The teaching and preaching are not Advaitic Gnana. Advaitic Gnana has to be acquired by the seeker himself by perfect understanding and assimilation of 'what is what.

Advaitic Gnana has to be acquired by the seeker himself by perfect understanding and assimilation of 'what is what.+
If you are trying to become a Guru or Monk then you are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge.+
If you are trying to become a Guru or Monk then you are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge. Someone posing as a Gnani, because he is some Gurus’ a direct disciple cannot be a Gnani. Those who pose themselves as Gnanis are not Gnanis.
The seeker in order to realize the Self has to approach one who is well versed in the Advaitic wisdom and always devoted to sharing knowledge of Brahman or God in truth.+
A Gnani, after having examined the nature of the universe acquire freedom from ignorance. Nothing that is eternal can be produced by what is not eternal.
The seeker in order to realize the Self has to approach one who is well versed in the Advaitic wisdom and always devoted to sharing knowledge of Brahman or God in truth.
A Guru or yogi who pretends himself to be Self- realized and plays with the emotions and sentiments of the seeker, is a fraud, not a Gnani. Every Guru or yogi makes his own cocktail ideas and propagates them as Self-realization.
Most of the Gurus and yogis project themselves as Gnanis, and they glorify themselves as Gods, such Gurus and yogis belong to religion, not spirituality. Spirituality is nothing to do with religion.
All the Guru Parampara is for the religious people. There is no need for a Guru in the path of wisdom.
Even Swami Vivekananda was Ramakrishna Paramahansa disciple. Swami Vivekananda himself said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”
There are two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the most advanced seeker who seeks to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.
The Guru and Guru paramparas are meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, there is no need to follow any parampara and follow any Guru those who wish to realize the truth which is beyond the form, time, and space.
We should not mix religion with spirituality because religion is based on the ego and spirituality is based on the Soul. Religion is concerned with its paramparas, not truth whereas spirituality is concerned only with the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. Religion is not spirituality.
Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread." (Select Works of Sage Sankara" also his commentary on Brihad)
Thus, the above passage proves that all those who were the sanyasin robes are wearing it for the sake of bread belongs to the religion; they are nothing to do with the ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. There is no need to criticize and condemn the Gurus, yogis, and swamis because they are needed for the welfare of ignorant masses in the dualistic world.
Sage Sankara in Viveka Chudamani (2), states that the Knower of the Atman (i.e., a Gnani) "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).
It means the Gurus, Swamis, and Yogis who identify themselves as holy people are not Gnanis.
Those who are seeking truth need not follow any Guru or any teaching. Those Gurus and Yogis who make them make the seeker sentimentally get involved in the name of love are playing with the feelings of the seeker.
Emotionally getting stuck with the Gurus or yogis leads to hallucination, emotionally getting involved with the Guru will not yield truth. If you are the seeker of truth then you must know the Gurus and Yogis are not Gnanis. If you want to tread the path of wisdom you must be free from the Gurudom.
That is why Sage Sankara page On Gnani wears no signs. Gives up the insignia of a monk's life…his signs are not manifest, nor his behavior."
A Gnani wears no signs it means he does not identify himself as Guru or Yogi or teacher or Swami. Thus, Gurudom is meant for the ignorant populace not meant for the seekers of truth. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

A clear-cut understanding and realization of the Self lead to Self-realzation. The truth you are seeking is the Self, which is hidden by the illusory universe or Maya.+
A clear-cut understanding and realization of the Self lead to Self-realzation. The truth you are seeking is the Self, which is hidden by the illusory universe or Maya.
You are nothing to do with the ‘Self’. You are part and parcel of the illusory universe or Maya. the illusory universe appears as waking or dream(duality and disappears as Soul, the Self in deep sleep (nonduality)
Self-realization is possible only when you realize you are not the ‘Self’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul. Until you think the ‘Self is within you, you will never be able to realize ‘what ‘Self’ is in actuality.
Those who preached the ‘Self’ is within you propagated only half-baked knowledge. The ‘Self’ is within the world in which you exist because the Self is not an entity or identity within the world in which you exist. The 'Self' pervades the whole world in which you exist.
The ‘Self’ is the cause of the world, in which you exist and it itself is uncaused. The ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-realization.
Remember:~
Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (9) - There the stainless and indivisible Brahman shines in the highest, golden sheath. It is pure; it is the Light of lights; it is that which they know who knows the Self.
Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10) - The sun does not shine there, nor the moon and the stars, nor this lightning, not to speak of this fire. When the ‘the Soul, the Self’ shines, everything shines after Soul; by its light, everything is lighted.
The Soul appears as the universe in the waking and the universe disappears as the Soul in deep sleep. The Soul is the universe and the universe is the Soul. The universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The illusion and reality are nothing but consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.
When the Advaitic wisdom dawns then this world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes unreal.
The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. That means the dream entity, people within the dream and the dream world becomes unreal. In the same way, the waking experience becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. Wisdom dawns when you realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
A person, who stamped his foot on the ground to refute to show the world, is real, ignore that in the dream he would do exactly the same--stamp his dream foot on the ground and assert it to be real.
Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (11) - That immortal Brahman (Athma) alone is before, that Brahman is behind, that Brahman is to the right and left. Brahman alone pervades everything above and below; this universe is that Supreme Brahman alone. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

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.+
The Puranas, including Vishnu Purana and Siva Purana, are based on a false idea of personal Gods because the writers have thought of Him as glorified man and woman.
Religion is based on personal God whereas Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman or God in truth is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). God is above all needs and desires. God is always the Witnessing Subject. God can never become an object as God is beyond the reach of the senses. God is non-dual, one without a second. God has no other besides it. God is destitute of difference, either external or internal. God cannot be described because description implies a distinction. God cannot be distinguished from any other than God. In God, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Swaroopa of God, and not just God attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.
God in truth is universal. God belongs to the whole of humanity because God is Advaita. When Sage Sankara says Atman is Brahman (God) then why you are worshiping other Gods.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth, Nothing is real but the Soul, which present in the form of consciousness. Nothing Matters but realize God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.:
Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.

Appearances have no existence without the illusory universe or Maya. The illusory universe or Maya has no independent existence without consciousness.+
Q:~` Appearances are many in one consciousness.
Santhosh Kumaar:~Suppose if you had asked the same question in a dream, the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
On the Standpoint
of the Soul, the Self the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, all the happening within the illusion is
bound to be an illusion. Until ignorance
is there, the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.
When the ignorance
vanishes through Advaitic wisdom than the world in which you exist which you think
as reality becomes an illusion.
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance
appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which
is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.
The universe is the product of
ignorance. Ignorance is present in the form of the ‘I’.
All the appearances appeared within the illusory universe or Maya. Appearances have no existence without the illusory universe or Maya. The illusory universe or Maya has no independent existence without consciousness.
Remember: ~
You, your
body and the universe in which you are born and going to die are created out of
single clay and that single clay is the Soul or consciousness.
Soul, the
Self is unborn eternal. The Soul has neither birth nor death because it is ever
formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
It is foolish
to discuss birth and death, which is the part and parcel of the illusory universe
or Maya in Atmic discussion, which is based on the Soul, the Self, which is
unborn eternal.
Prior to
birth (illusory universe) there was only consciousness. After the death (illusory
universe) only consciousness will prevail as eternal existence.
Sage Goudapada quotes from the Upanishads: ~ "There's no
plurality here"; "The Soul through its powers appears to be
many"; "those who are attached to the creation or production or
origination go to utter darkness"; "the unborn is never reborn, for
what can produce it?”
Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever
is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or
yogis are unreal.
Thus, whatever you have seen, known, believed, and
experienced as a person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion
created out of consciousness. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal.
Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
