Advaita Vedanta has nothing to do with Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. Advaita Vedanta is only an indicator to show the truth hidden by the illusion.

Sage Sankara says - VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book-knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

People study Vedanta, and they are under the delusion and conclude that they declare: ~ "I-Am-Brahman", but they fail to realize the fact that Brahman is everywhere and in everything!

The existence of Brahman is not limited to his physical identity, because it is the very essence of form, time, and space.

Ashtavakra: ~ “My child, you may speak upon various scriptures or hear the sermons on the scriptures. But you cannot establish in the ‘Self’ unless you forget all. 16-1 – p49

Sage Sankara says - VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book-knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

Yoga Vasistha:~ "Teachers, interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that Ultimate Truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the heart, engendered from contact with the good."

All the philosophies are mental fabrications. There has never been a single doctrine by which one could enter the true essence of things.

Philosophers have made philosophy very complicated with their excessive analysis.

Sage Sankara clearly says:~ Neither studying philosophy nor by worship as many gods nor observe ceremonies nor by singing devotional hymns nor by uttering mantras nor by mastering the scriptures, liberation comes without realizing the Oneness.

By challenging, provoking, and passing opinion and judgment based on the dualistic perspective, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. By studying Advaita Vedanta, you will not be able to realize the truth.

By arguing, provoking, and passing opinion and judgment on Advaita based on the dualistic perspective belongs to orthodoxy, not Spirituality.

Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they are 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)

Then invisible Soul, the Self, reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

Philosophy has to deal with the ultimate truth, not mere words, not this Guru's or that Guru's interpretation.

The key to it is, for a Gnani to be "ever the same." This means he sees and knows only one thing, the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of Consciousness

All the interpretation of different scriptural scholars is an arena of conflicting interpretations.

All the gurus of the East and West interpret Advaita from a dualistic standpoint or orthodox point of view, and they are still dealing with words, not truth. It proves that they have not understood the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
