Advaita is not a theory. Advaita is the nature of the truth. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the ‘Self’. Advaita is the Soul itself’. Advaita is the nature of God in truth because Rigveda says the Soul itself’ is God.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth, Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realize God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.
Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. Advaita is nothing but God in truth.
Thus, it is time to realize the world in which we exist is created out of the Soul, which is the ‘Self’. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the cause of the world in which we exist and it, itself’ is uncaused. The Soul alone is real and eternal. The eternal Soul itself is God in truth.
All the gurus of east and west propagate their own theory and call it Advaita.
Only in religion and the yogic path, one has to follow and practice. Everyone thinks he has to follow some Guru or Godmen, but all these methods are full of frustrations and give no real satisfaction. Reality has no method. Illusion has many methods, many problems, and many concepts.
To overcome illusion or concepts, one should know the source of the mind and from where does this mind arise? “When the mind is there then only the universe is present. The absence of the mind is absent of the universe. Absent of the universe is absent of duality. Absent of duality is absent of thoughts. Thus, until one becomes aware of what is mind and what is the substance of the mind it is impossible to assimilate the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.
Advaitic wisdom does not come just by sitting quietly, observing silence, and meditating, indulging in repeating mantras, reading books, hearing sermons, meeting Gurus or yogis, and by doing pranayama, but wisdom dawns only when you realize the fact that the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the formless Soul.
Some Gurus give speeches telling people to surrender to the Guru unconditionally then only they get self-realization. All such claims are empty words. Their falsity speaks louder than words.
If you are seeking truth then you should disregard such claims. Not by listening to the sermons of the Gurus, nor by the study of books, not by meritorious deeds, nor by any other means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
That is why Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”
The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.
A Guru is needed in the religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
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.
Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)
Wisdom consists in knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness. The 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 or the consciousness, the Self, is quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
