The path of wisdom is the soulcentric path. Egocentric knowledge is not of any use in the path of wisdom. In the soulcentric path, there is no scope for argument because all the arguments are based on egocentricity.
Swami Vivekananda: ~Jñāna Yoga is divided into three parts. First: hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya. Second: reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.
Sage Sankara: ~ VC In the dream state, even though there is no contact with the outside world, the Soul alone projects the entire dream universe of enjoyer, enjoyment, etc. Similarly, the waking state is no different. All this world of pluralistic phenomena is an illusory projection.
Chandogya Upanishad:~ One who meditates upon and realizes the 'Self' discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the Self.
Sage Goudpada: ~ “To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Mandukya Karika)
The argument is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the argument is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known. Advaitic Wisdom is not custom-made stuff to feed different mindsets according to their likes and fancies.
You are the birth entity. The one, which is born, lives, dies in this world, is not the Self, because the Self is the invisible Soul, which is birthless and deathless.
If you are not the ‘Self’, then all the argument and understanding of the truth is based on intellectualism.
If you want to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space, then you have to learn to view and judge the truth on the base of the invisible Soul, which is the Self, to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Only an intense urge to know the truth, humility, sincerity, and patience are the only qualifications to realize God in this very life and in this very world.
Till you make sure intellectually the Self is not within you but the Self is hidden within the world, in which you exist, and the world, in which you exist, is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness, it is difficult to become soulcentric. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
