Gurus who propagate Samadhi through sexual intercourse are not Gnanis.
Brih Upanishad: page 32. :~ "Yoga does not yield truth or liberation."
One who is in Samadhi will not know that this universe is the consciousness; therefore, yoga is not the means to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
In Samadhi, the yogi knows nothing, sees no universe; so if there is nothing but blankness. The blankness is not the Advaitic wisdom.
The yogi does not know the nature of the universe. If the universe is not seen in the Samadhi, then there is no need to use the words Atman and Brahman. The yogi is unaware of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
By shutting his eyes in Samadhi, the yogi does not know the universe that confronts him. Hence, the universe can't be known as the Soul or the consciousness through yoga.
One is in a non-dual condition in deep sleep or Samadhi, one without a second, true, but he did not know it at the time. He says only in the waking experience afterward. Hence, there must be an inquiry so that you find non-duality whilst you are awake, so that you can see nonduality at the time, not afterward. Hence, too a need to inquire into the nature of the universe and know it as the Soul or the consciousness whilst one is awake, and not during sleep or Samadhi.
Advaitic truth is the ultimate truth. Yogis, mystics, and religious teachers do not accept the path of wisdom because it pries into the truth, the source, and the validity of the knowledge they claim. Therefore, it is the most difficult part of the study of the Advaita.
Gnani does not want to think of the ego; therefore, he does not do or say anything to make himself appear superior to others or to pretend to know more than others. If a person spends his time in Samadhi, he is not a Gnani, but he is only a yogi.
The Gnani is as alert and awake to what is happening to him externally as all other people: he is not a yogi in Samadhi. A yogi does not know the ultimate truth or Brahman because he believes his Samadhi as Brahman.
The Gnani has realized the world in which he exists is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. And consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
A Gnani imparts Knowledge to others. A Yogi lies in Samadhi like a wooden log, so he does not know that yogic Samadhi is not wisdom. Gnani is fully aware of all things, either permanent or perishable, and he has realized both permanent and perishable to be consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal; all else is merely an illusion.
That is why Sage Sankara said:~ VC-63- Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation?
The universe in which we exist will not remain as reality when wisdom dawns. The universe is a mere mirage created out of consciousness, and there is conscious awareness of unity in diversity because there is no second thing exists other than consciousness.
A yogi cannot attain realization because he thinks his body is the body and the world is the world and fails to see them as consciousness and thinks his experience of Samadhi is because of his individual effort. The individual experience is limited to waking experience is merely an illusion.
Thus, even his Samadhi is also limited to the waking experience, which is merely an illusion. He thinks the thoughtlessness is Samadhi, but thoughts are of the individuality. Thoughts disappear even in deep sleep. Therefore, deep sleep is not wisdom.
If one thinks thoughtlessness is Samadhi and Samadhi is Brahman, then anyone can get knowledge of Brahman by taking sleeping pills or hemp.
Tattireya Upanishad: ~ “There are two different samadhis, philosophic and Sahaja Samadhi, which is the highest, in which one is in full wakefulness, and then he inquires what is meant by this world, the world is seen in this Sahaja Samadhi. Whereas Yogic or Nirvikalpa Samadhi is just like swoon or deep sleep, where one is unaware of anything, not even the world. (Page 640,641 and verse 132,133)
Each person sees in his own Samadhi whatever is uppermost in his mind. How does he/she or anyone know that what he/she or anyone sees is the truth? Similarly, each has intuitions agreeable to what is uppermost in his mind.
In Sutra Bashya and Manduka Upanishads:~ Samadhi and sleep are identical.
The Brihad Upanishad does not advocate Samadhi.
Sage Sankara in the commentary to "Brahma Sutras:~ " "The highest beatitude is not to be attained by Yoga." (Sacred Books of the East Series page 298 Vol.1.) And he also says Samadhi is the same as sleep (p.312) ---which indicates that yoga is not the means to Self-realization. And yogic Samadhi is not nondualistic or Advaitic Self-awareness.
Someone posing as a Gnani is not a Gnani. If someone poses himself as a direct disciple of some guru cannot be a Gnani. Those who pose themselves as Gnanis are not Gnanis. A Gnani never poses himself as a Guru, a swami, a sadhu or a yogi, or some Guru’s disciple. :~Santthosh Kumaar
