Without Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom, Self-realization or God-realization is an impossibility.

There is no higher or lower goal. Self-realization is the only one and only goal.

Without Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom, Self-realization is an impossibility.

When religion has become merely a matter of worshiping superstition, dogmas, rituals, and ceremonies, it has become a cage for the Soul, the Self.

The means of attaining Self-Realization for the acquisition of final liberation, the serious seeker should constantly reflect on the nature of the mind, which is present in the form of ’I’.

The ‘I’ is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

The indifference with which one treats the excreta of an animal – such an indifference to the three states from the realm of Consciousness in view of their impermanent nature- is called pure dispassion.

Consciousness, the formless substance and witness of the three states itself, is alone permanent; the three states (seen) are opposed to it, that is, transient – such a settled conviction is truly known as discrimination.

Turning away the focus of attention completely from the three states to the formless substance and witness of the three states with lots of patient endurance, will help the seeking mind to establish in the Consciousness the true Self.

Through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, one can be free from the bonds of this world, that is, birth, life, and death. To acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the seeker must have a burning desire.

Only that person who has an intense urge and courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth, and is ready to drop all pre-conceived ideas derived from the accumulated knowledge, and is ready to accept only the uncontradictable truth, is qualified to indulge in the pursuit of truth.

The seeker has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the base of the invisible Soul, the Self. Seeker of truth should constantly reflect with a view to attaining Knowledge, desiring his own good.

Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not brought about by any other means other than inquiry, analysis, and reasoning on the true base, just as an object is nowhere perceived (seen) without the help of light.::~Santthosh Kumaar
