A person who says he is enlightened is not enlightened because in the realm of truth there is, neither the person nor the world exists as a reality.
Katha Upanishad says: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. (II -23-P-20)
Thus, those who have taken the path of wisdom are chosen ones. The chosen one will get the grace of the invisible Soul, the inner Guru.
The path of wisdom is the Soulcentric path, whereas all other paths are egocentric. All egocentric paths lead to hallucination.
The invisible Soul, the Self, reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.
Sages of truth restrained themselves, parting the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to the masses and only a select few. It was hidden from the masses who were not qualified and receptive to it.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana, was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.
Thus, religion was given to the ignorant populace, and knowledge of the spirit is given to only a select few. Thus, we find traces of the knowledge of the spirit in the religious books in the form of parables.
Till Advaitic wisdom dawns, the seeker keeps verifying with all points of view from all angles, and shares his views. For some, it is helpful; for others, it is not so. The pursuit of truth is not the pursuit of exchange of views and argument, nor is sharing knowledge any kind of sermon.
If someone acquired Self-knowledge and shares their acquired knowledge with others, they cannot say that there is nothing for them to do.
Everyone has to discover afresh for themselves by verifying all the facts. Each one has to grasp, assimilate, and realize it until he gets a firm conviction of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The individual is present only when the world is present. So, the individual exists within the world.
From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the ‘Self’, the world is merely a dualistic illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
There is no individual. There is no second thing that exists, other than consciousness, because there is no duality in reality.
The urge to discover the truth cannot be imposed; it must grow within. One need not search for a physical Guru because the Guru is within to guide every seeker.
It is foolish to impose our ideas on others because not everyone is on the same level of understanding.
Everyone's inner work is on. When they are ripe enough, they will understand, assimilate, and realize on their own.
If they are ready and sharp enough, they will grasp it instantly, and they will reach their destination with less time and effort.
Arguing and provoking are not wisdom, but by deeper reasoning, the seeker has to determine the nature of reality.
Thinking in the right direction alone helps the seeker determine the nature of reality. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
