Your ‘I’ know attitude is blocking you from realizing the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

Bhagavan Buddha: ~ “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

You have got stuck with some Guru and his teaching without verifying whether the guru or teaching is saying the truth it may be the half-truth or no truth at all.

Bhagavan Buddha said: ~” Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true,

It is foolish to cling to some Guru and his teaching and stop your inward journey. Only when we independently search the truth without religion and its doctrine then we will be able to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Unless you exercise your reason (Buddhi) ~ there is no chance of getting the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Jesus said: ~ “Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find it, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel and will reign over all. [And after they have reigned they will rest.]"

Kabir views humanity as being caught up in illusion, searching for Ultimate Reality in all the wrong places, always seeking It outside of ourselves in various rituals, temples, forests, and mountaintops, not realizing That for which we seek is already hidden within us.

The ultimate truth or Brahman (God) dwells within the three states like fragrance in the flower; Musk lies within the Musk-deer yet seeks it afar." Until one traces the truth within the three states the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality. ~Santthosh Kumaar

Some people pass their opinion based on their accumulated knowledge thinking their accumulated knowledge as the ultimate truth but their ‘I’ know attitude merely brings on a little personal enjoyment to them but it is no good for Self-realization.+

Some people pass their opinion based on their accumulated knowledge thinking their accumulated knowledge as the ultimate truth but their ‘I’ know attitude merely brings on a little personal enjoyment to them but it is no good for Self-realization.

Atmic path is not a path of exchange of views and opinion but the path of realization of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Swami Vivekananda:~ The wicked are always looking for defects. Flies come and seek for the ulcer, and bees come only for the honey in the flower. Do not follow the way of the fly but that of the bee.

Some people just want to exhibit their accumulated knowledge accumulated from here and there. They think what they know is the ultimate truth.

They think whatever they propagate is the ultimate truth. The question never occurs to them, “Is what I know is really the truth?

Mundaka Upanishad 1:2:8:~ “Remaining in the fold of ignorance and thinking “we are extremely wise and learned,” the fools with boastful nature ramble about like the blind led by the blind alone.”

No one can teach anybody. 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 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.

Instead of finding fault first realize what the Self is in actuality. Honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with “you” and “your "own perceptions and attitudes. If there is an error in understanding what 'Self' is in actuality it is in “you". Correcting this and changing to a Soulcentric attitude will change your perception and then the Soul; the 'Self' will reveal its formless, timeless, and spaceless true nature.

If you are unable to grasp the truth hidden by the ‘I’ then you will never be able to grasp nonduality or Advaita. :~Santthosh Kumaar

Advaita is the ultimate truth. Advaita is Brahman. Advaita is God in truth Advaita, the one without the second.+

Advaita is not religion. Advaita is not philosophy. Advaita is not yoga. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is the Soul itself. Advaita is the ultimate truth. Advaita is Brahman. Advaita is God in truth. Advaita, the one without the second.

The word ‘One’ is not understood anywhere except in the Advaitic path. ‘One always means two when analyzed. Hence, the Upanishads are careful to show they do not mean this monism, but "One without a Second” that is the Advaita. No philosophers of the world have seen this point. Monism is really a pseudo-monism that is the duality.

Unless one realizes the Soul as the ‘Self’, as it really is” it is impossible to realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.

The Soul, the ‘Self is the Infinite God. The Soul, the God in truth itself is Advaita.

The Soul is the  Self. God in truth is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. God is the fullness of consciousness without the illusory division of form, time, and space. Therefore, there is nothing apart from it.

God in truth is Self-evident. God in truth is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God in truth because God in truth is the very essence of the one who denies it. God in truth is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. God in truth is within the universe in which you exist, God is without the universe in which you exist.

The Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ I God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.

Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other truth other than the consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, Nothing is real but consciousness,. Nothing Matters but realizing the ultimate truth. Consciousness is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

People, who worship the belief of God, are hallucinating that they become one with such God.

Vedas itself declares: May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman? Thus, to know the real God Self-realization is necessary. Self-realization is God-realization. Self-realization is real worship.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

How can you worship God? That implies two ~ the worshipper and the worshiped, whereas the God is nondual. One can worship his idea of God only or realize his unity with it when he can’t worship it as apart.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

When Upanishads and Vedas declare that, “God is the form of the Athma, and God is indeed Athma itself” then why accept another God in place of the Atman or worship other than the Atman. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Mundaka Upanishad condemns rituals. The Para or Higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Supreme Being while the Apara or Lower Knowledge is that of following sacrificial rites and ceremonies.+

Sage Sankara gave religious, rituals, and dogmatic instruction to the orthodox populace, but Advaitic wisdom only to the few who could rise to it. Hence the interpretation of his writings by commentators is often confusing because they mix up the two viewpoints. Thus, they may assert that ritual is a means of realizing Brahman, which is absurd.

Sage Sankara pointed out those rituals could in no way bring about wisdom, much less Moksha.

Mundaka Upanishad condemns rituals. The Para or Higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Supreme Being while the Apara or Lower Knowledge is that of following sacrificial rites and ceremonies. (1/2/ 1 – 6)

Sage Sankara: ~ (11) As regards the rituals, Sage Sankara says, the person who performs rituals and aspires for rewards will view himself in terms of the caste into which he is born, his age, the stage of his life, his standing in society, etc. In addition, he is required to perform rituals all through his life. However, the Self has none of those attributes or tags. Hence, the person who superimposes all those attributes on the changeless, eternal Self and identifies Self with the body is confusing one for the other; and is, therefore, an ignorant person. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are therefore addressed to an ignorant person. -Adhyasa Bhashya

Adhyasa Bhashya of Sage Sankara: ~ (11.1) This ignorance (mistaking the body for Self) brings in its wake a desire for the well-being of the body, aversion for its disease or discomfort, fear of its destruction, and thus a host of miseries(anartha). This anartha is caused by projecting karthvya(“doer” sense) and bhokthavya (object) on the Atman. Sankara calls this Adhyasa. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are, therefore, he says, addressed to an ignorant person. -Adhyasa Bhashya

Sage Sankara: ~ (11.2) In short, a person who engages in rituals with the notion “I am an agent, doer, thinker”, according to Sage Sankara, is ignorant, as his behavior implies a distinct, separate doer/agent/knower; and an object that is to be done/achieved/known. That duality is avidya, an error that can be removed by Vidya.-Adhyasa Bhashya

Sage Sankara: ~ (12) Sage Sankara affirming his belief in one eternal unchanging reality (Brahman) and the illusion of plurality, drives home the point that Upanishads deal not with rituals but with the knowledge of the Absolute (Brahma Vidya) and the Upanishads give us an insight into the essential nature of the Self which is identical with the Absolute, the Brahman.-Adhyasa Bhashya

Sage Sankara: ~ Atman, the Self is verily Brahman (God), being equanimous, quiescent, and by nature absolute Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss. Atman is not the body that is non-existence itself. This is called true Knowledge by the wise.

Realizing the universe is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness leads to non-dualistic or Advaitic Self-awareness.

Self-awareness is freedom or Moksha. Moksha is unity in diversity in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Remember:~

Mundaka Upanishad says:~ The rituals and the sacrifices described in the Vedas deal with lower knowledge. The sages ignored these rituals and went in search of higher knowledge. ... Such rituals are unsafe rafts for crossing the sea of samsara, of birth and death. Doomed to shipwreck are those who try to cross the sea of samsara on these poor rafts. Ignorant of their own ignorance, yet wise In their own esteem, these deluded men Proud of their vain learning go round and round Like the blind led by the blind.

When sages themselves found rituals are unsafe rafts for crossing The sea of samsara, of birth and death and ignored them and they the Mundaka Upanishad further suggest that, such rituals are unsafe rafts for crossing the realm of duality those who try to cross The realm of duality on these poor rafts are Doomed to shipwreck are. Ignorant of their own ignorance, yet wise in their own esteem, these deluded people [pundits] proud of their vain learning go around and round like the blind led by the blind.

Therefore, if one wants to acquire Atma Jnana or Brahma Jnana or Self- Knowledge or knowledge of consciousness one has to drop all ritualistic and orthodox baggage to move forward in their pursuit of truth.

Until and unless one overcomes physical shackles it is impossible to understand and assimilate the nondual truth, which is beyond the physical existence or the universe. Consciousness itself is lord of itself though not of the universe. And having nothing it has all.:~Santthosh Kumaaar 

Attaining nondual Self-awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion is real meditation.+

Meditation is not focusing the attention on the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is not limited to the ego because the ‘I’ is the whole universe. The ‘I’ is ignorance. Meditation is the total negation of ignorance, which is present in the form of the ‘I’.

Only in ignorance, there is conflict. There is no conflict in the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is ever free is totally free from conflict. All the conflicts belong to the dualistic illusion.

Ignorance is the cause of the form, time, and space without ignorance the there is no division of form, time, and space in the consciousness. The nature of the ‘Self’ is the fullness of consciousness.

Meditation always means the critical analysis about the Self to get rid of ignorance.

For meditation, one need not sit and chant God's name or concentrate on some object. Anything you do will not be a meditation. If there is a doer then it is not meditation. As long as there is doing, there is ignorance. As long as the doer is present, the ego is present.

If the ego is present the whole world is present. If the world is present the duality is present. If the duality is present then there is an illusion. If the illusion is present the birth, life, death, and the world are experienced as reality.

By realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to self-awareness.

In Self-awareness, the Soul, the Self, remains in its own awareness in the midst of the form, time, and space.

Attaining nondual Self-awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion is real meditation. Self-awareness is real meditation. Mediation is the nature of the Soul, the Self. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Atmic path of Sage Sankara is the only path that helps the seeker to realize God in truth.+

The Atmic path of Sage Sankara is the only path that helps the seeker to realize God in truth.

It is time to free oneself from the prison of orthodoxy and strive to acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

Adyatma is nothing to do with religious sects or creeds and religious beliefs or any philosophy or thinkers teaching. Adyatma is pure spirituality. Knowledge of Atma is Adyatma. Advaita is Adyatma.

Adyatma is the knowledge of the truth beyond form, time, and space. Bifurcate religion, yoga, and theoretical philosophy and base the truth on the Athma it is Adyathma.

Adyatma is based on the ultimate truth which is based on the Atman or Spirit, which is the Self.

Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality or Adyathma.

Look into the nature of the universe. And you will be able to see that universe by its very nature is illusory. The moment you understand that the universe is illusory, ignorance disappears and Self-awareness arises.

Self-awareness is the state of non-dual reality. That is the state of Advaita.

People never realize non-dualistic awareness through religion and yoga.

Self-awareness raises only by mentally transcending the dualistic illusion into non-dualistic reality.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the root element of the universe.

From consciousness, the universe comes into existence. In consciousness, the universe resides. And into consciousness, the universe is dissolved. Consciousness is the parent of all that is there is

Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny Consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies It. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

Consciousness is within, consciousness is without; consciousness is before, consciousness is behind; consciousness is on the right, consciousness is on the left; consciousness is above and consciousness is below. Consciousness is not an object because it is a formless subject.

The people‘s approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. If they take the world as a reality it means they have accepted the birth, life, death, which takes place in the unreal world as a reality.

If they accept birth, life, death, and the world as reality, it means they have accepted form, time, and space as reality.

If the form, time, and space are accepted as a reality then duality will prevail as a reality.

If the duality prevails as a reality then it is impossible to understand, assimilate and realize the Nondualistic or Advaitic truth.

Your body, your ego, your experience of the world are one in essence.

Till you consider your body as body your ego as ego, your experience of the world as the world you will remain in the realm of duality.

Till you remain in the realm of duality you are stuck with the reality of the experience of birth, life, death, and the world, which is merely an illusion from the ultimate standpoint.

Till you are stuck to the reality of the experience of birth, life, death, and the world you will not be able to know the mystery of the form, time, and space.

Without knowing the mystery of the form, time, and space you will not be able to realize the mind is a myth.

Without realizing the mind, is a myth you will not be able to accept the universe as an illusion.

Without realizing the universe as an illusion, you will not be able to know to achieve unity in diversity.

Repeated reading and reflecting on my posting and blogs is very much needed to make the subconscious accept what is the truth and discard the untruth. :~Santthosh Kumaar

Important points to remember and ponder-2.+

Only the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara will help every serious seeker to reach the ultimate understanding and realization.

Repeated reading and reflecting on my posting and blogs is very much needed to make the subconscious accept what is the truth and discard the untruth.

 When mentally reach perfect understanding and realization of God in truth the reality of the illusory dualistic world in which you exist fades away.

When yourself is not the real Self but the Soul is the real Self then Knowing who you are through WHO AM 'I'?- inquiry is unnecessary.

The ego is the very basis of the world in which you exist. Without the ego, the world in which you exist ceases to exist.

The physical body, ego, and the world appear together and disappear together.

It is impossible to get rid of the ego alone because the ego exists only when the physical body and the world are present. The people who are trying to get rid of the ego will never succeed.

The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance. Thus, the seeker has to get rid of ignorance, not the ego.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what leads helps to get rid of ignorance.

All accumulated knowledge becomes an obstacle in realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the root element of the universe.

Duality is present only in the domain of illusory form, time, and space.

Duality is present only when you hold yourself as a real Self.

Holding yourself as the real Self is an error, which blocks Self-realization.

Realize you are an individual. You are the ego. You are part and parcel of the illusory universe.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the root element of the universe.

By realizing yourself is the ego and the real Self is the Soul the error is rectified.

Duality is present only when the universe in which you exist is present.

Duality is present only in the domain of ignorance.

A Gnani sees the duality as non-duality because he sees Consciousness in everything and everywhere.

Realize Consciousness as God in truth with full and firm conviction and enter the kingdom of God in truth.

Nonduality is the kingdom of God in truth where God in truth alone shines.

No mantras will help you to realize God in truth other than remembering Consciousness, which is God in truth.:~Santthosh Kumaar
