Just by finding out to whom is this illusion the illusion will not vanish.+

Advaitic wisdom is nothing to do with the religious orthodox doctrines. Advaitic wisdom is not any philosophy. It is the nature of the Soul, the ‘Self’. Advaitic wisdom is the truth of the whole universe, not of a part. Advaita is opposed to none because it is knowledge of the universe, which hides the truth. The Advaitic truth is beyond form, time, and space.

From the Advaitic perspective, the universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is second to none. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’ the world in which we exist is merely an illusion.

Just by finding out to whom is this illusion? the illusion will not vanish. You have to realize the ‘Self is not you but the Soul. Without realizing the Soul as the ‘Self you will not know~

‘’What is the reality?

‘What is the illusion?’

Without knowing what is reality? it is impossible to realize ‘what is an illusion.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ it is difficult to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. From what standpoint the world is an illusion, it is not possible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The ignorance vanishes when the Advaitic wisdom dawns. When wisdom dawns the illusory nature of the world in which we exist is exposed. The illusory world in which we exist hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Therefore, realizing the world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness leads to Advaitic Self-awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Thus, there is unity in diversity in the midst of diversity. Thus, in reality, there is only oneness because the world in which we exist is created out of a single clay, which is consciousness. The knowledge of the single clay is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The matter (universe) is an illusion created out of the Soul, the Spirit, the Spirit is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.+

The Soul, the Spirit has no connection with the matter. The matter is present in the form of the universe. The matter (universe) is an illusion created out of the Soul, the Spirit, the Spirit is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ ‘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.

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)

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ The universe rises from the Soul, the innermost Self like bubbles from the sea. Thus know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."

The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced is within the dualistic illusion. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.

Sage Sankara said: ~ Just as the snake is superimposed on the rope, this world and this body are superimposed on Brahman or the Soul the Self. If one gets knowledge of the rope, the illusion of the snake will vanish. Even so, if he gets knowledge of Brahman, the illusion of the body and the world will vanish.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

In spirituality or Adyatma, the ultimate truth or Brahman is God in truth.+

All sect-based beliefs are dualistic and unphilosophical nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. In spirituality the ultimate truth is God. Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is nothing to do with orthodox belief systems.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC- Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the ‘Self’, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together (verses-6)

In spirituality the ultimate truth or Brahman is God. The Atman is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Sage Sankara’s wisdom is nothing to do with orthodox belief systems. Sage Sankara is the only sage who has final authority on the Advaitic truth. The Advaitic truth is rational truth and scientific truth without dogma.

The Advaitic orthodoxy is not the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Advaitic orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant populace that is unfit to grasp the highest truth. The Advaitic orthodoxy is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.

All sect-based beliefs are dualistic and unphilosophical nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.

In Spirituality or Adyatma, the ultimate truth is God. Thus, the Advaitic orthodoxy is a sect is nothing to do with the Advaitic wisdom of the Sage Sankara. Advaitic orthodox sect is meant for the ignorant populace.

Sage Sankara said:-Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way. (1) Vivekachoodamani v 56, pg~25

Mundaka Upanishad condemns rituals. The Para or Higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Supreme Being while the Apara or Lower Knowledge is that of following sacrificial rites and ceremonies. (1/2/ 1 – 6)

Mundaka Upanishads:~ So-called spiritual pundits and learned are called children because a child takes whatever it thinks as truth. The question never occurs to children “Is what I have seen or thought really the truth?" (P.334 line 9)

Lord Krishna confesses that the oldest wisdom of India ( Advaita wisdom) has been lost: people misinterpret and falsify it today as they did then. It is not yoga but the philosophic truth. But nobody knows it. The teachers of philosophy and leaders of mysticism or religion do not want to inquire into truth and have no time for it. (Gita –Chap- IV-v.2)

Mundaka Upanishad~ The study of the Vedas, linguistics, Rituals, astronomy, and all the arts can be called lower knowledge. The higher is that which leads to ‘Self’-realization. The eye cannot see it; the mind cannot grasp it. The deathless ‘Self’ has neither caste nor race, neither eyes nor ears nor hands nor feet. Sages say this ‘Self’ is infinite in the great And in the small, everlasting and changeless, The source of life.

There is no need for a guru in the Atmic path.

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 scriptures are not needed in the pursuit of truth. Even the Upanishads and the Sages of truth declare the same.

Katha Upanishad:~ This Atman cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas, or by intelligence, or by much hearing of sacred books. It is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals Its own form. (Ch-II -23-P-20)

Mundaka Upanishad: - This Atman cannot be attained through the study of the Vedas, nor through intelligence, nor through much learning. He who chooses Atman—by him alone is Atman attained. It is Atman that reveals to the seeker Its true nature. (3 –page-70 Upanishads by Nikilanada)

The ultimate truth has to be ascertained without the scriptures by realizing the ‘Self’ is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In the realm of truth the form, time, and space are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Realizing the single stuff as ultimate truth is ‘Self’-realization or truth realization. To realize this truth, there is no need for the scriptures.

The ultimate truth has to be realized first, and then only it is possible to know what the scriptures are saying.

Scriptures are being added from time to time. This process will go on. There is the final authority among them? One contradicts the other: duality reigns supreme.

I quote Scriptural citation only after verification reality and proved the truth, to point out that the scriptures teach the same thing. If one quotes them before having demonstrated truth, then it is scholasticism.

Sage Sankara:- Loud speech, a profusion of words, and possessing skillfulness in expounding scriptures are merely for the enjoyment of the learned. They do not lead to Liberation.": ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Those Gurus who say the consciousness itself is an illusion and impermanent are still in elementary stages.+

Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing because a wise man said it. Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you, yourself judge to be true.

Remember this: ~

Go beyond means mentally realize:~

The beyond there is neither the ‘I’ nor the world in which you exist. There is only consciousness.

The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

The world in which you exist is present in the form of the ‘I’.

Without knowing what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality, the truth hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion, will not reveal. The ‘I’-centric teachings lead to hallucination.

People who argue that the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, does not exist are not aware of the fact that their own existence is dependent on the Soul, which is in the form of consciousness.

The ‘I’- centric teaching says the consciousness is temporary and ‘I’ as a permanent thing. The ‘I’- centric teachings lead to all sorts of confusion.

Sometimes they say consciousness is an illusion. Sometimes they say 'I AM' an illusion. Sometimes they say the being is free from consciousness and I AM. So, still, they are in elementary stages without reaching anywhere. It is only hype created that ‘I-centric' teaching as the ultimate.

Those Gurus who say the consciousness itself is an illusion and impermanent are still in elementary stages.

Sage Sankara says the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani).

~ Then why you are sticking a Guru who is not a Gnani.

That is why 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.”

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ ‘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 truth other than consciousness.

There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ cease to exist without consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent (consciousness) is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the ‘Self’.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (Self) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

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 innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced is within the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.

All those whose intelligence has been stolen by the “I-centric” teaching, follow the path of ignorance.

Humanity has to awaken to the reality of its true existence by realizing the world in which humanity exists is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana frees the Soul, the innermost Self from the cage of the dualistic illusion.

Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery."

The 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 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 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.

One should not conclude because some great thinkers said so or some philosophy says so. Without consciousness, the mind, which is in the form of the universe, ceases to exist. Man ceases to exist without the universe. The universe ceases to exist without the Soul, the ‘Self’. The Soul can exist with or without the universe.

The form, time, and space are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Deeper self-search is necessary to understand, assimilate, and realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The Soul, the One without the Second: ~

The Soul is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul because It is the very essence of the one who denies It. The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. The Soul is the Self.

The Soul is everything. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Once the seeker accepts the fact that, the Self is neither the ‘I’, nor the body then realizes the fact that, the consciousness is the true Self, and he establishes himself in that conviction. Once this conviction is established the then the waking experience is absolutely non-existent as reality.

It is very difficult for those who strongly believe the ‘I’, as the Self to realize the truth. Most of the spiritual paths hold the ‘I’, as the Self, and spin their imagination on the base of the ‘I’, which leads them to hallucination. People mistake that Self as “I” whereas the gross bodies are many. So ‘I’ cannot be the Self.

Sentimentally and emotionally getting involved with some teachings or teachers is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth. People hold their guru as the ultimate authority and drop their pursuit of truth and indulge in their glorifying and worshiping the gurus, which keeps them permanently in ignorance.

The serious seeker should constantly reflect on the Self constantly through deeper Self-search. The Soul, the innermost Self is in the form of consciousness. Realizing the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the Soul, which witnesses the ‘I’. Self-knowledge is the only tool for the acquisition of final freedom from experiencing the illusory duality as a reality.

The seeker has to have indifference mentally to all the three states because the three states are an illusion created out of consciousness. Holding the three states as reality is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth. Thus, one has to remove all the obstacles and mental barricades one by one, by realizing the Self is not the form but the Self is the formless Soul. The three states are perishable in their nature because they are an illusion created out of the Soul or consciousness.

The Soul or consciousness, which is the formless substance and witness of the mirage, is real and eternal. Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the innermost Self. And knowing and realizing consciousness as the Self is the means to the attainment of Self- Realization or Truth-Realization.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the formless substance and witness of the three states. Consciousness is alone real and permanent. The three states are an object opposed to it, which is transient – such a settled conviction is truly known as discrimination.

Turning attention completely from all the three states and concentrating only on consciousness which is the formless substance and the witness of the three states is the only means to acquire non-dual wisdom.

An intense urge to become free from the bonds of this birth, life, deaths, and the world, leads, one to indulge in pursuit of truth.

Only serious seekers who have an intense urge to acquire Self- Knowledge should have the courage to discard the false knowledge to attain non-dualistic wisdom.

Bhagavad Gita says ~ “Among thousands of men, scarcely one strives for perfection; and of those who strive and succeed, scarcely one knows the ‘Self’ in truth.

The path of wisdom attracts only those who are in search of truth and they appreciate it greatly. The ignorant are not spiritually matured they receive Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The ignorant indulge in argument and provocation and personal attack, which hinders their own realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman.

That is why Jesus said: - Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)

~ Jesus meant knowledge of the Spirit (God) ~ Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Bhagavad Gita says ~ “Don't unsettle the minds of ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth.”: ~Santthosh Kumaar

Zen is quite OK in mentioning non-duality: it is the nearest to Advaita, but it is still inferior.+

 

Buddhism: ~ Buddhist teaching has itself become a kind of interactive and Self -evolving process, much like its idea of pratityasamutpada. However, the end goal is still Nirvana, which is an experience ultimately beyond all concepts and language, even beyond the Buddhist teachings. In the end, even the attachment to the Dharma, the Buddhist teaching, must be dropped like all other attachments. The tradition compares the teaching to a raft upon which one crosses a swift river to get to the other side; once one is on the far shore; there is no longer any need to carry the raft. The far shore is Nirvana, and it is also said that when one arrives, one can see quite clearly that there was never any river at all

Bhagavan Buddha said: ~” Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

Even Buddhism is mixed up with regional culture and traditions of the local religion, wherever it existed. Thus to get the full essence from Buddhism is very difficult.

Dalai Lama said:~ Buddhism need not be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama (Soul) and rebirth. Dali Lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulbarga).

Buddhism and its relationship with Science is like that of water and wine, one cannot say there is no water in wine, but when you drink it, it would not be the water but wine... thus Einstein’s view is water in wine because modern science does not believe in the matter but in this religion, everything is the matter only"

Bhagavan Buddha: ~ “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

Dali Lama:~ If the scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.

Thoughtless awareness comes only when there is oneness in awareness in the midst of dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion exists as a reality until ignorance is there. Ignorance will vanish only when the non-dualistic or Advaitic wisdom dawns. The wisdom dawns only when one becomes aware of the fact that the world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of single stuff that is the consciousness.

Thus, realizing the consciousness alone is and all the three states are merely an illusion created out of consciousness leads to non-dual self-awareness.

Buddhist Sunyavada is incongruous because every thought has its opposite every word is tied to its coordinate for all thought and speech can only operate under such dualism. Hence, taking the most fundamental word, existence is implied opposite non-existence is also there, and vice versa. Therefore, the Sunya "non-entity" is meaningless without "entity". Both are there.

Buddhist Idealism speaks only of ideas.

What about the knower of these ideas?

Buddhist Nihilism does not ask, "What is meant by Nihilism?

It is a thought. There must be a thinker of this thought.

Bhagavan Buddha kept silent, refusing to answer questions on the ultimate. Therefore, he was the wisest man in refusing to commit himself.

Zen is quite OK in mentioning non-duality: it is the nearest to Advaita, but it is still inferior because

(1) It fails to prove non-duality,

(2) It illogically gives ‘Koan’ exercises as a means of attaining that which is beyond attainment, because always here,

(3) It talks of insight or intuition to see Reality when sight involves a second thing, duality.

When you say "Nothing is" what is the meaning of "is"? "Sunya" is something that exists: you cannot prove that consciousness does not exist.

Zen Buddhism gives a high important place to meditation practice. The truth is that Zen advocates the necessity of meditation for those of its adherents who cannot grasp the absolute truth.

Zen Buddhism is also on this lower stage of Yoga because it depends on flashes of Intuition gained by meditation, not by reasoning.

Has the Void a meaning? If so then it is only your imagination.

Bhagavan Buddha gave up yoga after practicing it for six years. He saw it could not yield truth.

Bhagavan Buddha gave up his austerities of yoga as impossible and useless. (Page.70/71 "Buddhism in Translation” by Warren)

Bhagavan Buddha got enlightenment only after he gave up Yoga. Unless you exercise your Buddhi--reason--there is no chance of getting the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. Buddhism is based on form alone, and it does not include time and space in its investigation.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality. Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world. He told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.

Zen Buddhism Satori is not Advaitic wisdom because it comes as flashes, it does not depend on seeing the world and does not depend upon mental sharpness so much as intuition.

Zen Buddhists are only mystics ~ they do not offer proof. How is their main method different from that of Christian mystics, Hindu mystics, all of whom do not seek to prove by reason, but by "I know," intuition? : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Religious Gods are nothing to do with the Spiritual God, which is God in truth.+

My postings and blogs are meant only for those who are in the quest for the truth of their true existence. It is not suited for religious believers. Religious Gods are nothing to do with the Spiritual God.

People are unaware of the fact that their inherited Gods propagated by their religion are based on blind faith or belief but their own religious scriptures say God is the truth is not people believe and worship.

The ultimate truth alone is God, not that which people believe and worship in this world. The seekers' main goal of this life is to realize God in truth. It is time for rediscovering the real God hidden by the belief system.

The pursuit of truth is for discovering the truth of true existence. The universe in which we exist hides the truth.

By discovering the truth of the universe we will be able to discover the fact that the Self is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Religious God are based on blind faith or belief whereas spiritual God is the Spirit. Spirituality is nothing to do with religion. If you want to realize God in truth then you have to discard all religious propagated beliefs, dogmas.

Remember:~

Kena Upanishad (6) Chapter I: ~ “That which cannot be apprehended by the mind, but by which, they say, the mind is apprehended-That alone know as Brahman(God), and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (7) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be perceived by the eye, but by which the eye is perceived-That alone know as Brahman (God), and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (8) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be heard by the ear, but by which the hearing is perceived-That alone know as Brahman(God), and not that which people here worship.

Vedic God is a spiritual God which is the Atma or Spirit.

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) 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.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter: ~ “All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)

What is God in actuality? “Where is God?” People say God is everywhere, but they do not know because they are holding their religious propagated belief of God.

The religious propagated God is limited to a particular religion, community sect and creed cannot be universal. The believers of the other religion, community sect, and creed will not accept any other God as their own other than their inherited accepted idea of God.

The world in which you exist is not separate from God because the world in which you exist is created out of God. God is not imagination whatever you think of God is imagination based on the false self within the false experience.

Ignorance makes you have the firm conviction you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you are born in it afterward.

Till this conviction is there, you will never be able to accept any other truth than the dualistic truth based on the false self (you).

It is necessary for the seeker of the truth to unfold the mystery of the ‘I’ by a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ Do not believe in any Guru or any teaching.

Do not search God in this world in which you exist, religion, scriptures, holy books, ashrams, or mountain tops because ignorance hides God.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ unfolds the mystery of God.

Religious Gods are based on blind belief. Belief is not God. Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul and the ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists.

Without the Soul the world in which you exist cases to exists, which 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.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God Supreme or Supreme Spirit.

Vedas and Upanishad confirm the Soul, the Self, is the presence in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

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 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.

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.

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.

Lord Krishna Says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self 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 innermost ‘Self’. In reality, there is no dualities, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

Lord Krishna confesses that the oldest wisdom of India (Advaitic wisdom) has been lost: people misinterpret and falsify it today as they did then. It is not yoga but the philosophic truth. But nobody knows it. The teachers of philosophy and leaders of mysticism or religion do not want to inquire into truth and have no time for it. (Gita ~ Chap ~IV~ v.2)

There are different grades of mindset, which is unable to grasp the God in truth. Advaitic wisdom requires demands sharpness to grasp the truth which is beyond form, time, and space. Just sitting mindless and imagining you are seeing God keeps you in the prison of the dualistic illusion.

Realize the Soul, the Self is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself is God in truth.

Consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist. And consciousness itself is uncaused. Thus, the truth realization itself is God-realization because the ultimate truth is Brahman or God in truth. Self-realization is God-realization and God-realization is real worship. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
