Bhagvan Buddha: ~ "It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell."
Bhagvan Buddha:~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.
You have to walk the path alone.
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 Soul, the inner Guru reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.
At the end of the quest, the seeker becomes aware of the fact that the true Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the Ultimate Reality or Brahman or God.
Self-Knowledge is achievable without the grace of any Guru or conceptual God or the mercy of some Godmen. The seeker has to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are made of single stuff. That single stuff is the consciousness. To realize this simple truth there is no need for any Guru.
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.
If so, why waste time and effort finding a Guru. If you are searching for the truth about your existence then no Guru is needed.
To get rid the ignorance, the only remedy is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is to realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Guru, scriptures, and religion are not of any use in the path of wisdom. The ignorance will not vanish by having a Guru. Without direct realization, one cannot be liberated by becoming a disciple of some Guru.
Without causing the ignorance to vanish and without Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, how is one to the world in which he exists is merely an illusion?
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 through 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. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
