Remember: ~
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana itself is Advaitic Gnana.
No books can do more than
help us to find it, and even without them, we can get all the truth if we search for the truth that is hidden by the world in which we exist. You have a love for
books without bondage to them, and read the books, but do not believe blindly
because it is well written with the ornamental world, but think for yourself. No
blind belief can save you, work out on your own to find the truth, which is hidden
by form, time, and space. Think the Soul is your inner Guru - that Soul is
an eternal help.
There is no need to read
books to realize the truth which is beyond form, time, and space.
Sage Sankara does not believe in books. Sage Sankara denies the authority of any book over any other book. Sage Sankara denies emphatically any one book contains all the truths about Brahman or God, Soul, the ultimate reality.
It is impossible to
realize the Self through bookish knowledge. A feeling of profound respect for the physical Guru is still more difficult to uphold. If you are seeking truth know
must not cling to any physical Guru or his teaching.
Tripura Rahasya: ~ Second-hand knowledge of
the Self-gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its
truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do
that. Realize yourself, turning the mind inward. (18: 89).: ~Santthosh Kumaar
