Advaitic wisdom or Self-Knowledge is achievable without the grace of any Guru or the religious God or the mercy of some Godmen.+

The person who starts an exposition by bringing in religious Gods is trying to force on others something that he believes as true or something that he has simply assumed.

An assumption is something that is not in itself true but is assumed to be true.

How does one know that his idea of God corresponds to God?

Philosophic doubt is needed. Every dream and vision must be tested to see if it is true.

The Yogi thinks that by getting to Nirvikalpa Samadhi, he reaches the highest; the religious man thinks that by getting God’s vision, he reaches the highest, but how do they know it is the highest?

Judgment should be suspended until all facts are obtained. One should be cautious; he might get an intuitive flash, but even then, he should wait and confirm.

Lack of evidence against a doctrine is no reason for believing it. The seeker of truth must stick to reason, not the fallacy of authoritarianism. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Advaitic wisdom or Self-Knowledge is achievable without the grace of any Guru or the religious God or the mercy of some Godmen.

At the end of the quest, the seeker becomes aware of the fact that the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Consciousness is the only reality in which the universe exists, to which the universe belongs; from which the universe has emerged, which is the cause of the universe, and which itself is uncaused. Thus, the universe is nothing but consciousness.

There is nothing that exists other than consciousness. Thus, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the Ultimate Reality or Brahman.

The seeker has to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are made of a single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. To realize this simple truth, there is no need for any Guru.

Do not waste time and effort in finding a Guru. If you are searching for the truth about your existence, then no Guru is needed.

To get rid the ignorance, the only remedy is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is to realize that the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Guru, scriptures, and religion are not of any use in the path of Wisdom. The ignorance will not vanish by having a Guru. Without direct realization, one cannot be liberated by becoming a disciple of some Guru.

Without causing the ignorance to vanish and without Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, how is one to realize that the world in which he exists is merely an illusion? :  : ~Santthosh Kumaar
