The accumulated knowledge from different Gurus and different books is not the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.+

The path of wisdom is not the path of exchange of views, opinions, and arguments. 

The seeker must have patience and humility. The seeker has to drop all his accumulated knowledge and start afresh. 

One opinion may be used to contradict another, so both may be thrown away. Opinions are only thoughts. Thoughts are not the truth we are seeking because the ultimate truth is nondual.  

Sage Goudapad:~ Duality is for the unwise, non-duality, and undifferentiated Reality is for the wise and difficult to grasp.

Ignorant thinks accumulating knowledge he will get wisdom. Thus, he accumulates knowledge from every source and thinks he has accomplished his life’s mission.  

The accumulated knowledge from different Gurus and different books is not the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. And he is uncertain about the truth, and he thinks he knows the truth. This ‘I ‘know business is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth. 

Ashtavakra:~There is no wisdom whatsoever in the scriptures-just a collection of words. 

I only highlighted scriptural insights which point to the ultimate reality. what is not helpful in the pursuit of truth has to be discarded.  

The seeker should not bother about finding the meaning of what is written in the scriptures. 

Do not indulge in arguing from your own standpoint holding your accumulated knowledge as a yardstick that is pointless.  

Instead, read, reason, and reflect on the subject, which is the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara to get rid of ignorance.  

Remember:~ 

Exhibiting intellectual knowledge fuels the ego and blocks the realization of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. 

People think every path leads towards reality because all the other paths are egocentric paths. The path of wisdom is the Soulcentric path. 

Thus, egocentric intellectualism has nothing to do with the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. All accumulated dross leads to a hallucination. 

Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in the darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch II-5 P-14) 

It indicates that the one who is ignorant (darkness) of the true Self (Atman) searches for truth by accumulating knowledge of every path and practice, uncertain about the truth, and thinks every path leads towards reality.  Ignorance of the true Self leads one towards unreality or hallucination. 

There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which we exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is real and eternal. 

All my blogs and postings are verified truth. As one goes on reading, all his doubts and confusion will start clearing. It takes time, to be receptive to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is the Soulcentric knowledge whereas all accumulated knowledge is egocentric. 

I am highlighting all the obstacles in the inner journey and how to overcome these obstacles. All accumulated knowledge is of no use in the path of wisdom. 

It is for every seeker, who is on the path of wisdom, to realize himself “What is the truth, “and “What is untruth?” to assimilate the Self–Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 

My postings are only signposts. The seeker needs to reflect constantly on the subject till the cobwebs of his doubts and confusion get cleared. 

Self-knowledge will not arise from the exchange of views, opinions, and arguments. The accumulated knowledge is not a yardstick, to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara said: ~Liberation comes only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way.+

The Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. If the Self is the invisible...
