Bhagavad Gita Krishna says: ~It is only one amongst thousands of people who strive for spiritual salvation. Even amongst such seekers, it is only the rare person who gets to know Self correctly.’ (7.3)
The goal of the truth-seeker is to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana is inherent in every seeker of truth.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana does not come from outside; it is hidden by the illusory world in which we exist.
Realize with firm conviction that the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Right here and right in this very life, if you realize with firm conviction that 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, which is present in the form of consciousness.
To realize the Self is not you but the invisible Soul profits much rather than searching for the truth in an external world, moving from one ashram to another, and one Guru to another, and one mountain to another.
To realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, there is no need for a Guru, there is no need to study scriptures, there is no need to go to the mountain, there is no need for the Guru's blessing or grace. There is no need to waste your fortune and the precious time of your life. There is no need to follow anyone.
If you have an intense urge and are ready to drop all your accumulated knowledge and start afresh, then you are fit and ready to take this mental journey.
Ashtavakra Gita 16:10: ~ If you desire liberation, but you still say'I', if you feel the Self is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.
So-called spiritual paths are useless unless they cause us to seek the truth of our true existence.
All controversies about creation, the nature of the universe, evolution, the purpose of God, etc., are useless in the Atmic path.
Bhagavan Buddha: ~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.
Throw the mental garbage and start now.
Swami Vivekananda: This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself, to your own mind, does not befit you, the Soul. The self is infinite, deathless, and birthless. Because the Self is infinite Spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake!
Sage Sankara said: ~ Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way. (1) Vivekachoodamani v 56, pg 25
Why are you waiting? Conquer the truth on your own, independently. That is what the Sages of truth want you to do. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
