Sage Sankara said: ~ Liberation will never come without realizing the Oneness.+

Swami Vivekananda: ~ Oneness (Advaita) is the Secret of Everything.

Oneness means Advaita. Identifying the Soul hidden by the universe as it is through Advaitic wisdom, oneness arises.

Lord Krishna: People did not care for Advaita; they wanted religion; hence, Advaitic wisdom got lost. That is why Lord Krishna calls it "the supreme secret.

Sage Sankara said: ~ Liberation will never come without realizing the Oneness.

Oneness is the nature of the Soul, the Self. Oneness means Advaita or nonduality. When the universe appears, duality appears. When there is duality, then there is no Oneness. When there is oneness, there is no duality.

Sage Sankara says:~ One alone exists, and the rest is all superimposition on that One, due to ignorance.

Advaitic wisdom is to realize there are no two. Advaitic wisdom is impossible without inquiring into the nature of the mind. The knowledge of the matter and spirit is Gnana, not the knowledge of the matter alone.

Advaita only means negation of duality. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Consciousness is the cause of the origin, maintenance, and withdrawal of the universe is Advaita (i.e., non-dual), which means that consciousness transcends all conceptions, positive and negative. Nothing positive can ever be imagined or said about it.

Consciousness is existence absolute, awareness absolute. The existence absolute means that consciousness is not unreal or non-existent. And it is not unconsciousness. Nothing positive can be stated about consciousness. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
