The past, present, and future belong to you. You and the world in which you exist belong to the dualistic illusion or Maya.+

The past, present, and future belong to you. You and the world in which you exist belong to the dualistic illusion or Maya.

The past, present, and future is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is ever nondual.

Remember:~

In reality, there is no trace of the illusory form, time, and space because the reality is ever nondual.

The form, time, and space are merely an illusion. the illusory form, time, and space hide the nondual reality.

Now’ is part of the illusion. ‘Now’ is impermanent. Now is ever-changing. The witness of the Now is the changeless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The past, now, and the future, are created out of a single clay, and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

In reality, the witness (Soul) and witnessed (Mind) are one is the essence. Therefore the past, now, and the future are nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. Whatever exists as the form, time and space, past, ‘Now’ and the future is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

You and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness. They cease to exist without consciousness.+

Your urge is at the seed level. As you go on reading the words of wisdom, it will start growing. It takes time for the egocentric subconscious to accept the Soulcentric truth. The Truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance.

There is no need to search for the truth because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth.

Only when the conviction of the Soul becomes firm then only you will be able to accept the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. 

You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness. They cease to exist without consciousness.

You have to think and reason deeply Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what,’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is the truth?” and ‘What is the untruth?. Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Advaitic self-awareness.

A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work. It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what.

People need reading and hearing the words of wisdom, to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end. 

You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness.

You have to think and reason deeply. It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of 'what is what'.

People need reading and hearing the words of wisdom to think deeply and reach the ultimate end. Everyone’s inner work is on.

Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.

Even you may find it difficult in the first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

It is your intense urge that will take you to the ultimate goal. Patience and humility will help you to reach what you are seeking. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

Having food or fasting, Having sex or observing celibacy, wearing clothes, or being nude does not qualify you to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+

Celibacy, fasting, and Hata yoga are nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is ever nondual.

Having food or fasting, Having sex or observing celibacy, wearing clothes, or being nude does not qualify you to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Know the mystery of the ‘I’. Come out of the intoxication of the ‘I’. Till you remain in the grip of the ‘I’, you are blocked from realizing the truth, which is beyond the ‘I’.

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The realization of ultimate truth or Brahman is possible only when the seeker inquiries into the nature of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the Mind.

The mind is present in the form of the universe and the universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

The one which appears as the duality and disappears as nonduality is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Do not try to know who you are? By inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’, you will never reach the ultimate end of understanding.

‘Who am ‘I’? is only helpful in the beginning on later stages it is inadequate to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Try to find out what is this ‘I’ which appears and disappears. What is it that knows this appearance and disappearance of the ‘I’?

Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "mine," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

The Soul, the Self is the Ancient One. The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. +

The Soul is everything because whatever exists as the universe is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Humanity has to awaken itself to the reality of its true existence. Humanity is a reality within the universe or dualistic illusion or Maya. 

The Soul, the Self is the Ancient One. The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. The Soul has to wake up from its sleep of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the unreal universe as reality.

The universe is in the ‘I’ because the ‘I’ itself is the universe. Do not try to find the truth in the next world because the truth is hidden by the ‘I’.

Find out what is this ‘I’ in actuality.

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

The Soul does not change; all the changes are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

As you go deeper in self-search you will realize the fact that ‘I’ itself is an illusion.

The ‘I’ appears and disappears but the Soul, the witness of the ‘I’ witnesses the coming and going, of the ‘I’.

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole.

People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.

That is why 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.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. is no need to convince such mindsets. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the mind is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘mind’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.

If form, time, and space are an illusion then the universe is bound to be an illusion.

If the universe is bound to be an illusion then waking is bound to be an illusion.

If the waking is bound to be an illusion then the experiencing of the birth, life, death which happens within the universe is bound to be an illusion.

The illusion is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is real and eternal.

Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

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

Even 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 Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced is within the dualistic illusion. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence. Your realization of the Soul as God is the ultimate realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

There is no need to go from one mountain to another, one Guru to another, one Ashram to another, read books after books.+

 Q:~ D R S:~ One must live doing something in this illusionary world or should one just sit naked on the street?

Santthosh Kumaar:~There is no need to become a monk and wear the religious robe or wander naked to acquire Advaitic wisdom. By becoming a monk or reaming without work is not the means to acquire Advaitic wisdom. By becoming a monk and remaining naked or remaining without the work the ignorance will not vanish. without getting rid of the ignorance the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn.

Do not neglect your family, business, and profession. Do not make spirituality a 24/7 affair. Use your spare time. Do not waste your precious time and money on meeting gurus and yogis and buying books and traveling. Enjoy worldly life as it comes.

Desirelessness is not Advaitic wisdom. Even having an urge to realize the truth also is a desire. Whether you have desires or no desires, ignorance will not vanish till the ‘Soul’ remains the domain of the dualistic illusion.

By remaining quiet, within the dualistic illusion wisdom will not dawn. The ignorance vanishes only when you realize the ‘Self’ is not ‘you’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Wisdom dawns when you realize the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, the whole objective universe is nothing but consciousness.

Remember:~

Advaita is universal. Advaita is not for sale. Do not buy Advaita from the spiritual supermarket. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self. The world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Advaitic wisdom.

Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to realize because you have accumulated mental garbage from different sources in the name of Advaita. Until you discard all the accumulated knowledge you will never be able to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the innermost 'Self' shines on its own its awareness when wisdom dawns.

The Advaita is the Soul is the cause and the support of all that exists as the world in which we exist. Advaita is the nature of God, the Soul, the Self.

The Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Advaita is the root element of the universe. From the Advaita, the universe comes into existence. In the Advaita, the universe resides. And into the Advaita, the universe is dissolved. The Advaita is the parent of all that is there is.

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

Why you are struggling to get Self-realization. There is no need to go from one mountain to another, one Guru to another, one Ashram to another, read books after books.

Realizing the world, in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Thus, there no second thing exists other than consciousness.

Thus, everything is consciousness whether it exists as the world, in which you exist or without the world, in which you exist. Realizing consciousness as the ultimate truth is truth realization. Truth realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God- realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

By becoming a sanyasi or monk one will not get Self-realization or truth realization or God realization.+

It is no use in becoming a sanyasi or monk when the ‘Self ‘is not you. You are the false ‘Self’ within the universe, which is a dualistic illusion or Maya.

A Gnani is not a monk or sanyasi or Sadhu or swami. Religion is nothing to with the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

By becoming a sanyasi or monk one will not get Self-realization or truth realization or God realization.

Sage Sankara VC- (2), states that the Knower of the Atman (i.e., a Gnani) "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).

All those who have taken sanyasa and monkhood belong to religion and yoga, not Gnanis because they identify themselves as holy people.

Manduka Upanishads: ~ It is very difficult to find out who is a Gnani because he bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the religious robe has anything to do with him.

Select Works of Sage Sankara" also his commentary on Brihad: ~ “Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."

A Gnani cannot have the idea of giving up, renouncing the world or some object or person in the world, because that would connote the idea of duality. Knowing no second thing at all there remains nothing to be given up.

A Gnani, on attaining realization, will not give up his vocation in life but will continue it as before. If he was a billionaire, he continues so, if a peasant, he will remain one. He still does his duty, but he is fully aware of the fact that his practical life within the practical world is merely an illusion.

It is not correct to say that, a Gnani sees only good everywhere and never evil. He is fully aware of the evil things, he knows then he is being taken for a ride, but he remains unperturbed though acting as required. He recognizes what is bad and what is good from the practical point of view and what is real? And what is an illusion? - from the ultimate standpoint.

Self-knowledge cannot be attained by taking sanyasa, by the study of the scriptures and intellectual understanding, or by bookish knowledge. Therefore there is no use in studying the scriptures and other scriptures in order to acquire non-dual wisdom.

That is why Buddha rejected the scriptures, and even Sage Sankara indicated that the ultimate truth lies beyond religion, the concept of God, and the scriptures.

There is only one Reality to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by the religion. Self-discovery is the only way, towards non-dual Absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusion in which we all are searching the truth of our true existence. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

First Mundaka: ~ Fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit and puffed up with vain scholarship, wander about, being afflicted by many ills, like blind men led by the blind.+

First Mundaka - Chapter 2: ~ Fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit and puffed up with vain scholarship, wander about, being afflicted by many ills, like blind men led by the blind.

Ish Upanishad declares:~ Those people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide 10/11/12

The religious orthodox people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide, as it were, are doomed to enter those worlds after death.

This is a condemnation of people who do not try to attain Self-knowledge. They are, in a real sense, committing suicide, for what can be worse than being a slave to sense enjoyment, completely oblivious of the real purpose of life, which is to be one ’s, own master?

He, who does not desire to realize the truth, cannot find any interest in the Atmic path. The Atmic path is not a discussion or exchange of views but it searches after the truth of our true existence. Atmic thinking leads to Atmic wisdom. Knowledge of the Soul leads to self-awareness. Self-awareness is the ever homogeneous, unexcelled eternal.

In Self-awareness, the world in which we exist (dualistic illusion) all its luster and appears as a glowworm in the presence of the sun.

When the Soul, the ‘Self’ remains in its own awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion it is free from the illusory bondage of the form, time, and space.

People are unaware of the fact that their existence is limited to the domain of form, time, and space. Without form, time, and space they cease to exist. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary to realize, man is not the ‘Self’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul or the Spirit or consciousness.

Do not search the ‘Self’ in the world in which you exist. The ‘Self’ is not an entity or an identity within the world, in which you exist. The Self is the cause of the world in which you exist and the ‘self’ itself is uncaused.

The world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the ‘Self, which is the Soul or Spirit.

The seeker will find his own way when you realize the fact that the ‘Self’ is not him but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Until the seeker strives to understand the truth which is hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya the 'Self' will not be realized.

Without a perfect understanding of ‘what is what,’ it will take the seeker nowhere. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
