Advaitic Gnana has to be acquired by the seeker himself by perfect understanding and assimilation of 'what is what.+

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.

The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.
Guru is needed in the religious and yogic path. The Soul is the inner Guru. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the source of all that exists as the universe.
To realize the universe is consciousness there is no need for Guru.
There is no need for a Guru for acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seeker must personally strive by all the means of soulcentric reason to be free from the bondage of the illusory experience of the form, time, and space.
The Guru or teachers and preachers are not Gnanis. Get Gnana and share Gnana.
Really no time is required if the seeker is sharp enough to grasp the Advaitic truth. All the accumulated knowledge and inherited religious conditioning or samskaras block the realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.
All seeker needs an intense urge to realize the truth. If the seeker is serious and sincere, he has it. After all, it is a matter of attitude.
.
Nothing stops you from being a Gnani, right in this very life, not in the next life or the next world. Fear of losing your physical identity people are afraid to inquire.
There is nothing to be afraid of. Nothing is lost by realizing the truth only the unreal nature of the world in which you exist is exposed, the same way the unreal nature of the dream is exposed when the waking takes place.

Remember:~

Do not search for Guru in the world in which you exist. Guru is the Soul, the Self. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
The transparent truth of the ‘Self’ is hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion. It requires extraction competent instruction, excavation, and the removal of ignorance.
The truth never reveals by following some Guru or his teaching or by glorifying the religious and yogic Gurus.
The transparent truth of the ‘Self’ is to be attained through constant reading the words of wisdom followed by reflecting and so forth, but not through perverted discussion and arguments.
All the penances are external because they are based on individuality. Investigating the mind, alone leads to Self-realization.
To know what is the mind profits much rather than searching the truth in the external world moving from one ashram to another and one Guru to another and one mountain to another. When one starts investigating the universe that confronts him will mentally move inwards and will reach the ultimate end and become fully aware of “What is truth?” and “What is untruth?” in his own home or city and establish in truth by realizing what is the untruth.

Remember:~

If you are seeking truth nothing but the truth then you must not get stuck to any Guru or yogi. Those who are seeking truth need not follow any Guru or any teaching.
Yoga Vasistha says:~Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only by means of inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
There is no need to condemn Gurus, but there is a need to highlight how they become an obstacle in realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Swami Vivekananda 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.”
The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.
A Guru is needed in religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

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.

A Gnani never poses himself as a Guru, a swami, a sadhu, or a yogi or some Guru’s disciple.
Different Gurus and teachers are pointing out the understanding of the Advaitic truth on different standpoints. All such understanding of Advaita is on the dualistic perspective accumulated from here and there.
Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."
Sage Sankara: ~ A Gnani "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).
Thus, it proves that religious Gurus and yogis are not Gnanis because they identified themselves as holy people.
A Gnani never claims himself as a Gnani, he guides the seekers, not posing himself as a Guru, and he does not force his wisdom on others.
Advaita is not a theory or a philosophy. Advaita is the nature of the Soul the innermost Self. There is no need for any theory or philosophy or scriptures to acquire Self-knowledge. Only a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.
Sage Sankara:~ 'Like a servant who carries a lamp in front of you to find your way, and you have found it, so becomes the Veda to that person. What is the Veda? ~ utterances of those who have known the Truth. Here is one who has known the Truth; why should he or she depend upon the Veda further? Actual realization takes you beyond books. At a certain stage, books become a botheration. The Upanishad itself says that the 'words are only so much of distraction for such minds'
Bhagavan Buddha: ~ Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
You need not become a Guru or a monk to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. You have not to renounce the world or to leave anything ~ your wife, children, job, responsibilities. You do not have to renounce anything!
The only thing you have to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space by realizing the form, time, and space is the product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes, the unreality of the form, time, and space is exposed.
Upanishad says: ~ "He who thinks he knows, does not know." This means that to know anything implies a second, an object of knowledge, hence duality, i.e. no Gnana.
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 the mind inward. (18: 89): ~ Santthosh Kumaar

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.+


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.

All the puranic Gods have to be rejected because Rig Veda says never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman. 

If you feel Puranas say something and the Vedas say something else, reject the Puranas and believe in the Vedas. The Puranas are myths meant for the ignorant people who are incapable of realizing God in truth.

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.

The translations made till now of Indian philosophical works have represented religion and mythology, not philosophy. The greatest pundits do not understand it, for they do not understand science. What has this mythological teaching done for India? Look at its state today. Look at the conversions. Imagining that God has ashes on his forehead or blazing like the sun-- that is all poetry and depends only on faith.
The Saiva Siddhanta sect is a dualistic, unphilosophical religion like Ramanuja's sect.
Why did not Ramanuja and Madhva write commentaries on the Upanishads (as Sankara did to establish Brahman) but stop, content with writing a commentary on Vysa Sutras, and culling some paras only from the Upanishads with convenient vagueness to establish their God and Theology?
Indians are more religious than other people. The six systems of Indian Philosophy are really six systems of Indian speculation. For there is only one Truth.
The ancient Hindu tenet borrowed by theosophists of the universe appearing and dissolving, days and nights of Brahma, entering into pralaya, etc. is intended for mediocre intellects who cannot rise to the truth. It is a convenient fable representing the philosophic truth that the whole universe dissolves in your mind in deep sleep, thus entering pralaya, and rises again the next morning, i.e. it is all imagination, idea. Brahman or God in truth has nothing to do with it.

The seeker of truth must know the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.
Religious people believe the stories of Jesus who raised the dead and Krishna who picked a mountain as a reality but Jesus who raised the dead and Krishna who picked a mountain within the dualistic illusion. Whatever belongs to dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion.
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 myths.
India takes pride in being the descendants of the Sages of truth who gave the Advaita the ultimate truth. The Advaitic truth is the truth beyond the form, time, and space.
All the mythological God's existence is a myth. Such Gods can exist only within the dualistic illusion. Thus, the existence of such Gods is illusory.
Mythological God and Goddesses are based on belief. The belief is not God. The belief implies duality. From the ultimate standpoint, the duality is merely an illusion. Thus, whatever one sees, knows, believes, and experiences within the dualistic illusion are bound to be an illusion.
Mythological stories are a myth. Whatever is based on myth is merely a superstition. Mythology was introduced in the past for the ignorant masses. It has to be discarded as one progresses in his spiritual advancement.
Mythological contains stories of people with 10 with seven heads, etc., which are fables, yet are taken seriously by pundits. All these stories are a reality within the dualistic illusion. The waking experience is a dualistic illusion. Thus, whatever belongs to the dualistic illusion is bound to be a falsehood. In reality, there is no duality because there is only Oneness.
That the ancient sages had miraculous occult power and books relate stories of their feats, are fairy tales were meant for children, women and those whose minds had not developed.

Remember:~

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.

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)

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.

That is why Swami Vivekananda said:-
THE MASSES IN INDIA CRY TO SIXTY MILLION GODS AND STILL DIE LIKE DOGS. WHERE ARE THESE GODS?
Knowing this, stand up and fight! Not one step back, that is the idea. ... Fight it out, whatever comes. Let the stars move from the sphere! Let the whole world stand against us! Death means only a change of garment. What of it? Thus fight! You gain nothing by becoming cowards. ... Taking a step backward, you do not avoid any misfortune. You have cried to all the gods in the world. Has misery ceased? The masses in India cry to sixty million gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods? ... The gods come to help you when you have succeeded. So what is the use? Die game. ... This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself to your own mind does not befit you, my soul. You are infinite, deathless, birthless. Because you are infinite spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is none to help you. You are the entire world. Who can help you? - Swami Vivekananda (Delivered In San Francisco, on May 28, 1900) The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 1/Lectures And Discourses/The Gita II

Swami Vivekananda: This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself to your own mind does not befit you, the Soul. Self is infinite, deathless, and birthless. Because the Self is infinite Spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is none to help you. Self is the entire world. Who can help you?
Mythology breeds superstition, blind belief, and senseless rituals, and most irrational and gives them a divine outlook.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ If superstition enters, the brain is gone. Superstition is our great enemy, but bigotry is worse.

When ‘Self’ is not ‘you’ then whatever you have seen, known believed, and experienced as reality is bound to be an illusion. Thus, self-realization is necessary to realize your present the world in which you exist is merely an illusion.
If the present world in which you exist is merely an illusion, then whatever you believed is a reality with the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.
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
Religious Gods are not gods in truth. One must know what God suppose to be in truth.
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 ‘Self’. In reality, there is no duality, with no differentiation. Only Atman exists.
Vedas and Upanishad confirm the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.
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 is.
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman or God in truth is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
There is a clear-cut idea of God in the Vedas, Upanishad, and Bhagavad Gita. And also there is a clear-cut idea of what not to worship as God in place of real God. Thus, it proves on Vedic perspective the Puranic Gods are not Vedic Gods.

That is why Sage Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The one who has realized the Brahman (God) is Brahmin, not the one who is born in the Brahmin caste.+

The one who has realized the Brahman (God) is Brahmin, not the one who is born in the Brahmin caste.


In the Vedic era, a Brahmin was a person who had acquired Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana Atma Gnana.

This was an extremely difficult path of the discipline of body, mind, and intellect, and people irrespective of their birth or class, who dedicated to such an austere life, were recognized as Brahmins.

A great example of this tradition (that a person becoming a Brahmin, rather than born as one) in the case of Vishwamitra, a warrior (Kshatriya), who became a Brahmin after attaining Atma Jnana or Brahma Gnana or Self-Knowledge.

A smritis or code of conduct composed by Sage Atri defines Brahminhood very clearly.

"By birth, every man is a Shudra (an ignorant person). Through various types of disciplines (samskaras), he becomes a dwija (twice-born). Through the studies of scriptures, he becomes a vipra (or a scholar). Through the realization of supreme spirit (brahmajnana), he becomes a Brahmin.”

The belief that people born in the Brahmin caste, automatically become Brahmins, is a much later concept in very ancient India. Thus, Brahmin means not a caste but one who has attained Atma Jnana or Brahma Gnana.

The one who has realized the Brahman (God) is Brahmin, not the one who is born in the Brahmin caste. Anyone can become Brahmin by acquiring Brahma Gnana.

The very concepts of castes by birth, upper/lower castes, superior/inferior castes, outcastes, untouchables, Dalits, etc. are clearly prohibited by Rig-Veda”.

A Brahmin is not a Brahmin merely because he is born out of a Brahmin mother’s womb. Nor he is Brahmin merely because he is born in the Brahmin caste. Brahmin is not Caste it is the state of God. Anyone can become a Brahmin by acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

A Brahmin is one who has acquired Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana or one who is free from ignorance.
He has got rid of ignorance; He has traveled beyond all bounds of form, time, and space. He is no longer tied to the illusory form, time, and space.

A person who has acquired Advaitic Gnana is a Brahmin, not a person who indulges in priestcraft.

A Brahmin is one who has got rid of the strap of ignorance by acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

A Brahmin is the one who freed himself from the dualistic illusion.

A Brahmin is one who has broken all links with the illusory form, time, and space by acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Brahmin has taken off the cross-bar of ignorance. He has become aware of the truth is hidden by the ‘I’.

A Brahmin is abused and insulted by the ignorant. He is tortured, imprisoned, and bound up by the ignorant. But he endures all these without being provoked or without losing his temper.

A Brahmin has patience as his power and his firm conviction about the truth, which hidden by the ‘I’.

A Brahmin is free from the ignorance of his true existence. He is not the performer of religious worship and rituals. He is not a scriptural scholar. He is restrained. He is fully aware of the fact that his individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Brahmin is one who does not belong to any religion, caste, race, or nationality because he does not belong to the domain of the form, time, and space. He, even being within the domain of the form, time, and space he is not of the form, time, and space.

The water does not get attached to the surface of the lotus leaf. The mustard seed does not get attached to the point of a needle. In the same way, the Brahmin does not get attached to religion or caste, race or nationality. He is non-attached from the world in which he exists even though he is in the world; he is not of this world.

A Brahmin has become aware of the fact that the world in which he exists itself is an illusion created out of consciousness. Brahmin is the one who is aware of the fact that Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana frees the Soul from the cage of the dualistic illusion.

A Brahmin possesses profound wisdom. He is full of insight. He is capable of discriminating the right path from the wrong path. He has reached the highest state.

A Brahmin is the one who has established in the reality of his true existence. He is not attached to the world in which he exists.

A Brahmin is the knower of Brahman. His speech is true. His words are well-meaning, constructive, and not harsh. By his words, he will not give offense to anyone. Nor will his words provoke people. He silently shares the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

A Brahmin is the knower of Brahman. He has no attachments to the ‘I’ - He has no spiritual doubts due to his right awareness, He has entered the deathless existence.

A Brahmin is the one who has traveled beyond the form, time, and space and realized the true existence is formless, timeless, and spaceless.

The Soul is like the moon at the full - spotless and free of blemishes. The Soul, the Self is pure, calm, serene, and exceptionally tranquil.

A Brahmin has crossed over the quagmire of passion. He has gone beyond the difficult terrain of the dualistic illusion that is hard to traverse and has crossed the boundaries of ignorance. He is fully and totally reached the other shore.

He is in Self-awareness. His spiritual doubts are resolved. His quest is over He is no longer given to grasping. He is cooled.

A Brahmin is the one who has realized Brahman. He has given up the bonds that bind him to humanity. He has gone beyond the bounds of form, time, and space. He is disengaged from all bonds of the dualistic illusion.

A Brahmin is the one who has given up the religion and religious idea of God and religious rituals. . He has also given up yogic Samadhi and the practice of meditation. He has achieved total tranquillity of the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. He has conquered the effortless reality with his mental effort.

A Brahmin knows the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. . He is not attached to the illusory experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

He has reached the destination which is beyond the illusory experience of birth, life, death, and the world. He possesses the knowledge of the essence which is the cause of the world in which he exists.

The path of truth is neither of Gods, nor of the religion, nor of the humans. All taints of ignorance are totally eradicated in the Atmic path. Those who tread the Atmic path have attained the highest spiritual knowledge.

He is a great Sage as he has realized the essentials. He has conquered the truth which is beyond birth, life, death, and the world. He is devoid of blemishes. He has washed away all the ignorance. He has awakened to the essentials.

He has his higher awareness. He has reached the state of a Sage. He has achieved the final perfection.
Brahmin is the one who has realized the Brahman (ultimate truth) and helps fellow seekers towards the inner path.

Mundaka Upanishad:~ As rivers flow into the sea and in so doing lose name and form, so even the wise man, freed from name and form, attains the Supreme Being, the Self-luminous, the Infinite. He who knows Brahman becomes Brahman. ~ 3.2.8-

The one who knows Brahman knows his body and his experience of the world are merely an illusion and also he knows his body and his experience of the world are also as Ataman (consciousness), which is Brahman.

Thus, the priestcraft which is crafted on the body-based theories will lead one to hallucinated Moksha. But real moksha or freedom is possible only through the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.:~Santthosh Kumaar

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.
