Advaitic wisdom does not come just by sitting quietly, observing silence, meditating, reading books, hearing sermons, meeting Gurus or yogis, and by doing pranayama, but Advaitic wisdom dawns only when you realize the fact that the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul. or the Spirit.
Advaitic wisdom arises when the seeker can discriminate the invisible Soul, the Self, from the illusory universe.
Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal to unfold the Self hidden by the 'I'.
When you finally realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self. The invisible Soul, the Self, is present in the form of consciousness.
Sage Sankara: ~ VC~.63: "Without knowing and examining the universe, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists won't go. It can only go by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.
Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, in something detrimental to our spiritual progress.
Sage Sankara says: - VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.
Until you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you, and you are born in it afterward, ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there, the universe prevails as reality.
Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why indulge in other types of meditation.:~Santthosh Kumaar
