It takes time for the egocentric subconscious to accept the Soulcentric Advaitic truth.+

If you hold on to the teachings of the physical Gurus, you are holding on to ignorance. The real Guru is not physical but the invisible Soul, the Self.

Come ye slow, or come ye fast; it is but the Soul, the Advaita that reveals itself at last.

The invisible Soul, the inner Guru, reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

Your urge is at the seed level. As you go on reading the words of wisdom, it will start growing.

It takes time for the egocentric subconscious to accept the Soulcentric Advaitic truth.

The Advaitic Truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance.

There is no need to search for the truth because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth.

Only when the conviction of the invisible Soul becomes firm then only you will be able to accept the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

You have to realize that the world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness. They cease to exist without consciousness.

You have to think and reason deeply. Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is the truth?' and ‘What is the untruth?. Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Advaitic awareness.

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 says:~ Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only using inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.

Everyone thinks of himself as a Guru, and he is competent because ~

He has mastered the scriptures.

or

He has studied under a famous Guru

or

He has performed all religious rituals and led an orthodox-oriented life, and he has accumulated good karma.

or

He has a Ph.D. in world philosophy from a famous university

or

He is a scientist, but he is well-versed in the Vedas.

or

He is the disciple of the famous Guru

or

He has done penance in the Himalayas.

or

He has gone without food for years

or

He has renounced worldly life and takes sanyasa

or

He has done lots of charity

or

He is well-versed in tantra, and he got enlightenment through sex

or

His Guru gave him the power to transmit enlightenment to others

or

He is a hata yogi.

None of the above qualifies to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana. From the Advaitic perspective, all these things have no value. :~Santthosh Kumaar
