Discussion with the right people is always better than arguments with the wrong people.+


Discussion with the right people is always better than arguments with the wrong people. Silence is always better than meaningless.
To come to a more precise understanding of what non-duality is or might mean, we must return to the original linguistic and philosophic backgrounds from which the word has been translated into English.
If we limit a probe of the meaning of non-duality to Sanskrit literature, we find that the most frequently used term is “Advaita”.
Advaita is not a religious concept. Advaita is the nature of the existence hidden by the illusory universe.
Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained Self-knowledge, realized Atman, which is the Self, is God in truth. Atman alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman.
Bhagavad Gita says: ~ “Don't unsettle the minds of the ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth."
Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained knowledge of Atman. Atman is God in truth. Atman alone exists. Everything is Atman; there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."
Bhagavad Gita Krishna says: ~It is only one amongst thousands of people who strive for spiritual salvation. Even amongst such seekers, it is only the rare person who gets to know the Self correctly.’ (7.3)
Be an independent thinker. Do not accept anything without deeper verification. The seeker should not argue and waste his time. The argument will not yield the truth.
Only the intellectuals argue to exhibit their intellectual wealth. The intellectual argument is based on ego. The egocentric intellectuality is limited to form, time, and space.
The truth you are seeking is based on the invisible Soul, the Self. The invisible Soul is beyond form, time, and space.
Thus, what is the use of the egocentric argument in the soulcentric discussion?
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like injecting medicine into a corpse.
What is there to discuss and argue, and exchange opinions? If one is seeking truth, there is no need to discuss no need to argue, but read words of wisdom and think and reason deeply, the truth will start revealing itself on its own.
That is why 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
Advaitic Wisdom consists in knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness. Freedom (ultimate truth) is always there, yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the Soul, the Self is quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
