It is time to free oneself from the prison of religion and strive to acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.
Remember:~
The Advaitic truth declared by Sage Sankara 1200 years back is the rational truth, scientific truth, the ultimate truth, and universal truth cannot be contradicted because it is based on the Soul, the Self.
There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which we exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness is real and eternal.
All my blogs and postings are revealed truth. As one goes on reading, all his doubts and confusion will start clearing. It takes time, to be receptive to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is the Soulcentric knowledge whereas all accumulated knowledge is egocentric.
I am highlighting all the obstacles in the inner journey and how to overcome these obstacles. All accumulated knowledge is of no use in the path of wisdom.
It is for every seeker, who is in the path of wisdom to realize himself “What is the truth? “and “What is untruth?” to assimilate the Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. My postings are only signposts. The seeker needs to reflect constantly on the subject till the cobwebs of his doubts and confusion get cleared.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth. If you stick to the ultimate truth then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.
All the doubts and confusion are in the domain of the ‘I’. There is no confusion of any sort in the domain of the Soul, which is the witness of the ‘I’.
The seeker has to disentangle himself from ‘I-centric Gurus and their teaching if they are interested in moving forward in their journey towards the Advaitic reality.
May seekers are sentimentally get entangled with the ‘I-centric’ Gurus and teaching which makes the seeker remain in the prison of ignorance.
The seeker of truth must be free from sentimentality and feelings if he is serious about his quest for truth. Sentimentality and feelings are a great obstacle that makes the seeker remain in the intoxication of the dualistic illusion.
Doubts and confusions arise when the seeker finds the religious rituals; scriptural studies and yoga are inadequate or useless to quench his spiritual thirst. Disappointments in religion or yoga or even science imply error or ignorance.
When a serious seeker reaches a stage with all his baggage of accumulated knowledge, then uncertainty haunts him. Whether he is right?" Where is the certainty that he is proceeding on right lines?" Thus, the doubts arise and the inquiring spirit comes and impels to search elsewhere for truth where it will not be possible even to have doubt. The test is, therefore, in experience. And only in non-duality, where there are no two to argue about views or to have the difference of opinion can such doubtlessness be possible. Belief depends on unstable bases whereas certainty depends on the proof.
Seeker of truth has to get rid of his doubts through deeper ‘Self’-search on his own, to realize the fact that, the ‘Self’ is not the form but ‘Self’ is formless. To get the Advaitic truth, the seeker has to become Soulcentric. Soulcentric reasoning leads to ‘Self’-awareness. Soulcentric reasoning bifurcates all the egocentric dualistic knowledge. All egocentric dualistic accumulated knowledge are mere mental garbage.
The ultimate truth is based on the Soul, the ‘Self’. Whatever knowledge is based on the ego, is false knowledge. By simply going on believing and accepting whatever is said by some guru or some teaching or some philosophy will not lead to ‘Self’-realization. All the doubt has to be got rid of "by the sword of Self - Knowledge." Religion, scriptures, yoga are not necessary if one follows the inner (formless) path. Religion and yoga are not the means to ‘Self’ – Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Upanishads: ~ They alone in this world are endowed with the highest wisdom who are firm in their conviction of the sameness and birthlessness of Atman. The ordinary man does not understand their way. (Chapter IV — Alatasanti Prakarana 95-P-188 in Upanishads by Nikilanada)
The above passage indicates the fact that everything is Atman (Spirit). By viewing and judging the three states on the base of his birth entity, the truth, which is beyond, form, time and space will not reveal.
The seeker has to realize the fact that, the man including the world is created sustained, and finally dissolves as Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, Atman alone is, and all else is an illusion.
Self-knowledge is the aim of every human being. Since everyone thinks the physical body is the ‘Self’, their aim is misdirected and they focus their attention on materiality which makes one feel the duality (waking) as a reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
