The seeker who wants to acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara must have an intense urge, sincerity, and seriousness in his quest for truth.

The seeker must be fully aware of the difference between Atman (Soul) and non-Atman.

Intense urge to reach the ultimate end of understanding and realization.

Seeing all the objects also as the subject, and fully aware of the fact that object and subject are one in essence.

Longing for liberation from ignorance to unfold the mystery of the universe to realize the Soul, the Self, hidden by it.

The seeker must have patience, endurance, unity, peace, trust, and equality.

The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning, because Truth is not in the letters.

The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual awareness. Meaning is attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the sticklers for particular words. 

You are being conditioned by the religious myth, which has made you a non-thinker. Come out of the religious myth by realizing God in truth.  

The seeker should not mix religion, mysticism, and yoga with the path of wisdom.  The seeker has to deal with the ultimate truth, not mere words, not this Guru's or that Guru's interpretation. 

The path of wisdom of Sage Sankara is divided into three parts: ~

 

First:- Hearing the truth--that the consciousness is the only reality and that the universe, along with you, is merely an illusion or Maya. 

 

Second:-Reasoning upon the words of wisdom of Sage Sankara from all points of view. 

 

Third:- Giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth. 

 

The key to Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is to see the whole universe as Consciousness, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

 

A Gnani sees and knows the universe as consciousness." This means he sees and knows only one thing, the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of Consciousness. Therefore, there is unity in diversity in his understanding and realization. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
