The Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is the root element of the universe. From the Advaita, the universe comes into existence. In the Advaita, the universe resides. And into the Advaita, the universe is dissolved. The Advaita is the parent of all that is there is.
Sage Sankara:~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms is nothing else but the Brahman (consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of form, time, and space.
Sage Sankara says: ~ Atman is Brahman. The Atman alone is real is not religious truth. Sage Sankara declared this Advaitic truth, which is the ultimate truth to the whole world, many centuries back is the rational truth, scientific truth, and the ultimate truth.
It is not possible to get consciousness within the scientific framework. It is beyond modern science. Science is dualistic wisdom based on form, time, and space. Science demands physical proof based on form, time, and space whereas consciousness is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Until science sees the world in they exist with dualistic lenses it is not possible to realize the consciousness as the cause of the world.
The world in which the scientist exists, their scientific inventions are made on single clay. That single clay is consciousness. Knowledge of that single clay is the consciousness, which is hidden by form, time, and space.
The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. 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.
Both modern science and religion offer hypotheses and theories but there is one vital difference--science begins with facts which it collects; religion begins with fancies. Science evolves its hypotheses from such facts, religion from fancies.
Science declares that oxygen combines with hydrogen to give water. And it also declares oxygen is protons or electrons. But in pursuit of truth, the whole physical existence (universe or mind) is considered an illusion, and science and its inventions, which are based on physical existence are limited to physical existence. The truth is within but it is beyond the physical existence. Science demands physical proof. But the physical proof is part of the illusion. Hence, science cannot go beyond physicality because the truth cannot be traced from laboratory conditions. Deeper Inquiry, analysis, and reasoning are required if one wants to push their quest deeply enough.
The modern man appears to have acquired admirable knowledge in various fields of inventions in the physical world. However, what man has acquired is limited to the physical world not beyond. the man has to admit the fact that he cannot investigate the truth of his own existence through scientific inventions because it is possible only through the deeper thinking process. Above all, acquired physical-based knowledge and power do not assure man of lasting happiness in the worldly life and peace evades him at every moment.
Sage Sankara says:~VC- 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by work, nor by learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman (consciousness) is Liberation possible, and by no other means.
Sage Sankara says Atman is Brahman and everything is Brahman is a scientific declaration not religious or yogic. Sage Sankara and Sage Goudpada are more scientific than anyone else in the world. Since the real Advaitic essence is hidden it cannot be got without the inner (mental) journey.
Sage Sankara said: ~A.A-88- When the whole universe, movable and immovable, is known to be Atman (consciousness), and thus the existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say that the body is Atman?
Mind and thought processes are co-related to the Quantum Field, i.e. the operation and distribution of particles at atomic and molecular levels. All these ideas are true on a physical base. The physical base is the dualistic base. The duality is not a reality from the ultimate standpoint. Therefore, whatever is based on the dualistic perspective is bound to be a falsehood.
In reality, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Thus, all these theories based on the false self (ego) hold no water from the ultimate standpoint.
There is a need for facts of physical proof in scientific invention, whereas in pursuit of truth, the proof has to be grasped mentally and realized. Therefore, the truth is realized only by a few who take this mental pursuit. “Whatever facts revealed, which is uncontradictable has to be accepted as truth.
So long as you are in the realm of duality, you have to explain how or why one thing came from another; and contradictory views are expressed. But when the Advaitin shows there is no second, there is no production, and the contradictions do not arise at all when the ultimate thing is Brahman (consciousness alone.
Dualists say matter existed along with God, who took it and made it into the world like the potter with clay. But when you go deep into it, you must ask how do you know that these two things existed together and who created God? Reason gives no ultimate causation; therefore, we drop God, First Matter, etc.
Determinism in classical physics: We can measure the energy in a cause and in an effect, i.e. that a certain thing produces a particular effect. Newton said that all happenings are completely determined and with certainty. This means that man’s will is not free, and that materialism is true. The quantum theory has upset this theory of determinism and says that certainty has vanished, and probability or averages have replaced it. This weakens or demolishes the law of causality. Science can now describe only, not explain. Explanation depends on causality, on the "how." Description merely says what happens during the process.
Nobody knows nor can anybody ever know how a seed becomes a tree. We know only one antecedent fact--the planting of the seed--and one consequent fact--the growing of the tree. Hence, we know no causes, only antecedents.
Dualists saw this difficulty and said, as we can’t know let us use faith from this point onwards. Advaitic Sages has solved the difficulty.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is real and eternal. The world in which we exist is an illusion created out of consciousness.
Sage Sankara: ~"That which permeates all, which nothing transcends and which, like the universal space around us, fills everything completely from within and without, that Supreme non-dual Brahman — that thou art."
Sage Sankara says:~ If the cause is destroyed, the effect will no longer exist. For example, if from the effect, cotton cloth, the cause, threads, are removed, there will be no cloth, i.e., the cloth is destroyed. Similarly if in the effect, thread, the cause, cotton, is removed, there will be no thread, i.e., the thread is destroyed. (Brahmasutra Bhashya, commentary on the Brahma sutra, (9) 2.1.9)
Despite the non-difference of cause and effect, the effect has its Self in the cause but not the cause in the effect. The effect is of the nature of the cause and not the cause of the nature of the effect. Therefore the qualities of the effect cannot touch the cause because the cause and effect are present only when the duality is present. The duality is present only when there is an illusion. The illusion is there only when there is ignorance. When there is no ignorance then there is no illusion. When there is no illusion then there is no duality. When there is no duality then there is no cause and effect. When there is no cause and effect then there is nondual reality.
Sage Sankara says:~ During the time of its existence, one can easily grasp that the effect is not different from the cause. However that the cause is different from the effect is not readily understood. As to this, it is not really possible to separate cause from effect. But this is possible by imagining so. For example, the reflection of the gold ornament seen in the mirror is only the form of the ornament but is not the ornament itself as it (the reflection) has no gold in it at all. (Chandogya Upaniṣad Bhāṣya, commentary on the Chandogya Upanishad, 6.3.2)
All names and forms are real when seen with the Brahman but are false when seen independent of Brahman (Soul).
This way the seeker of truth establishes the non-difference of the effect from the cause.
Sage Sankara ~ VC~ "All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought
Sage Sankara’s wisdom is nothing but the scientific truth of the consciousness which is the cause of the universe and it is uncaused. Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is nothing but the science of consciousness. Sage Sankara was the first scientist who declared the universe is nothing but consciousness.
Sage Sankara: ~VC~ if the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.
Sage Sankara’s wisdom is a Self-examiner, to test oneself to discover how near to Gnana he has approached what progress has already been made on the path, and what still remains to be done. It sets up criteria for Self-judgement.
That is why Sage Sankara: ~ VC- 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 In the dream state, even though there is no contact with the outside world, the Soul alone projects the entire dream universe of enjoyer, enjoyment, etc. Similarly, the waking state is no different. All this world of pluralistic phenomena is an illusory projection.
Sage Sankara is the first scientist humanity has to bow with gratitude to the great Sage scientist.
Sage Sankara says: ~ “VC-63- "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.
In nondual Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though the ego is present, the body is not considered as a body even though the body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, and because of awareness of the truth, everything is considered as consciousness. Thus, there is conscious oneness.
Sage Sankara’s wisdom reveals: ~ Atman (consciousness) is the only one ultimate reality or Brahman. Brahman is God in truth.
Advaita means the Soul, the Self, which is second to none. The Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, which is God in truth. Advaita is God. Advaita is the fullness of consciousness.
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)
Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads to truth realization.
Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the Self is non-dual because there is no second thing that exists other than the Atman.
Atman is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and space is merely an illusion.
There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The universe (‘I’) ceases to exist without consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Advaita is the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is second to none. Advaita is universal wisdom that reveals on its own to all the serious and sincere seekers of truth.
The real Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is soulcentric knowledge. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is soulcentric knowledge that destroys ignorance.
Advaita is universal. Advaita is not for sale. Do not buy Advaita from the spiritual supermarket. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self. The world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Advaitic wisdom.
Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to realize because you have accumulated mental garbage from different sources in the name of Advaita.
Until you discard all the accumulated knowledge you will never be able to realize the Advaitic truth, which is hidden by the form, time, and space.
The Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self shines on its own its awareness when wisdom dawns.
The Advaita is the Soul is the cause and the support of all that exists as the world in which we exist. Advaita is the nature of God in truth.
The Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is the root element of the universe. From the Advaita, the universe comes into existence. In the Advaita, the universe resides. And into the Advaita, the universe is dissolved. The Advaita is the parent of all that is there. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
