Bhagavad Gita Krishna says: ~It is only one amongst thousands of people who strive for spiritual salvation. Even amongst such seekers, it is only the rare person who gets to know “Self” correctly.’ (7.3)
Realizing the universe is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness leads to non-dualistic or Advaitic Self-awareness.
Self-awareness is freedom or Moksha. Moksha is unity in diversity in the midst of duality.
It is very difficult to talk to people about the ultimate truth or Brahman because everyone thinks they know the ultimate truth or Brahman.
One may have some flashes of truth when someone tries to indicate it through fewer words. But it takes us nearer to the truth, not realization.
Mythology contains stories of people with 10 heads, etc., which are fables, yet are taken seriously by religious people. All these stories are a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The waking experience is a dualistic illusion. Thus, whatever belongs to the dualistic illusion is bound to be a falsehood. In reality, there is no duality because there is only Oneness.
That the ancient sages had miraculous occult power and books relate stories of their feats, are fairy tales were meant for children, women, and those whose minds had not developed.
When ‘Self’ is not ‘you’, then whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as reality is bound to be an illusion.
Thus, self-realization is necessary to realize your the present world in which you exist is merely an illusion.
If the present world in which you exist is merely an illusion, then whatever you believe as a reality with the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.
The Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material, then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness .:
