The Advaitic truth has to be ascertained and realized by the seeker alone. No one can teach anybody.
First: hearing the truth--that the consciousness is the only reality and that the universe, along with you, is merely an illusion or Maya.
Second: reasoning upon the words of wisdom of Sage Sankara from all points of view.
Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman, or God in truth.
The Advaitic wisdom is hidden by the illusory world in which you exist. A Gnani can only show the way; that much is the work of a Gnani. A Gnani only guides the seekers to apply their own reason and realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
When the seeker learns to view and judge and reason the three states on the base of the invisible Soul, the truth will start unfolding on its own.
First, the seeker may find it difficult to use Soulcentric reason, but gradually it will become easy.
Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.
To realize the Advaitic truth, there is no need to follow any path. There is no need for initiation from a Guru. There is no need to follow anyone. There is no need to become a wandering monk.
There is no need to renounce worldly life. It is just a word used by a religion that believes there is a higher power, which is the cause of the creation.
Different religions used different words for the same thing. The idea depends on the man’s imagination. God is an English word.'
The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning because Truth is not in the letters.
The words may give different meanings at different levels of understanding.
The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual awareness. Meaning is attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the sticklers for particular words.
The words are there for only communication purposes. The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions will determine the phenomenal world observed and experienced.
The words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need to read and hear the words to think, reason, and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.
The truth seeker seeks only truth. The inner Sage will guide you with love. Your sincerity and seriousness lead you to your inner core. The sincere and serious seekers are not excluded.
The Sages of truth called the ultimate truth as Brahman. For them, the ultimate truth is God. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
