The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.+

All these thought-centric Gurus and their teachings will not yield Advaitic wisdom because their knowledge is dualistic. The Advaitic truth is nondualistic.  

The one who realizes that fact that he, his thoughts and the words he utters, and the world in which he exists are created out of a single clay and that single clay is consciousness. Thus, everything is consciousness. Realizing everything is consciousness leads to Self-awareness.

The thoughts arise only in the domain of form, time, and space. The thoughts come to you because you exist within the domain of form, time, and space.

You are the thinker. You are the false self within the false experience. Without you, the thoughts will not arise.

In the dream, the thoughts come to the dream entity. The dream entity is a thinker within the dream. The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. 

The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the ‘Self’ is not you then what is the use of asking yourself Some Gurus say simply ask yourself, To whom do these thoughts come? Find out the source of your thoughts?

The thoughts come to you, not to the Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, form, time, and space are merely an illusion.

If the form, time, and space are merely an illusion then you, your thoughts, and the world in which you exist are merely an illusion.

Thus, what is the use of finding out about the thoughts which come to you, not to the Soul, the ‘Self’?

Thus, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
