In Spirituality, the Spirit is God. You must take the Spirit as the ultimate truth as God in truth. +

There is no second thing that exists other than the Spirit or God. The Spirit is nondual in its nature. Thus, God is Advaita.

Religion belongs to you. The Religious God, based on blind belief, belongs to you. All religious code of conduct belongs to you. But remember, you belong to the illusory world.

The illusory world in which you exist is created out of the Spirit or God, which is present in the form of the invisible Soul. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

God is divine, only held in the bondage of ignorance (matter); perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from ignorance

Do not hold any book as an authority. Until you mentally transcend the universe into the Spirit by perfect understanding and assimilation of 'what is what', it is impossible to realize the Spirit, which is God in truth hidden by ignorance.

Until you unlearn whatever you have learned, it is impossible to realize God in truth.

In Spirituality, the Spirit is God. You must take the Spirit as the ultimate truth as God in truth.

First, the seeker must realize what God is truly supposed to be. The invisble Soul, the Self, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. God, in truth, pervades everything and everywhere in the universe in which we exist.

Thus, everything is Spirit because the whole universe is created out of Spirit.

If you know the Self as the invisble Soul, then the invisible Soul, the Self, is free from the cage of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

That is why Jesus said: ~ Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)

Jesus meant ~ knowledge of the Spirit of God or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana (pearls) should not be given to the ignorant populace (pigs).

Spirituality has nothing to do with religion. Spirituality is based on the Spirit, the real God, whereas religion is based on God based on blind belief.

The Bible says: ~ God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in Spirit and in Truth. (John 4:24)

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the invisble Soul, the Self. The invisble Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

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

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit.

Vedas and Upanishads confirm that God is the invisble Soul, the Self. The invisble Soul is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.

If God is the formless, timeless, and spaceless Spirit, then how does man know God created the world? There is no proof. If man had seen God creating the world, he could admit it, but how could he have seen God before he came into existence? (i.e., were created).

God (Spirit) is not separate from the universe (matter) because God (Spirit) and the universe (matter) are one, in essence. Without God, the universes in which you exist cease to exist. God is the fullness of the Spirit.

Thus, any division in the Spirit, as the form, time, and space, is merely an illusion. Thus, the universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Spirit, which is God.

The atheists and religious people are both believers. The atheists believe there is no such thing as God, and religious people believe there is God.

Belief is not the truth. One must know God in truth. The truth will set the Spirit free from the illusory prison of form, time, and space. : ~ : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Upanishad:~ It has been clearly told in the Shruti: ‘Know that One and give up other talks’+

There is no need for any physical-based practice to realize the ultimate truth, or Brahman or Godin truth.

Upanishad:~ It has been clearly told in the Shruti: ‘Know that One and give up other talks’

There is no practice as such, but a perfect understanding is needed. The Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance.

You have to realize the world in which you exist is created out of a 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 because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

I 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 till it becomes a reality.

One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until one gets a firm conviction of 'what is what'. Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’.

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

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth?’ and ’what is untruth?’.

It takes time for the invisble Soul, the Self, to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Lord Krishna says Ch. V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth." The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

Jesus said:-"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)

Jesus said: ~” Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. ( Gospel of Thomas- Saying 5)

"The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, not in a mansion of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and God is there, Lift a stone and you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)

Gospel Thomas logion 22:~ Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, “These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.”

They said to him, “Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?”

Jesus’s version of Advaita:~ Jesus said to them, “When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female is female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom.” :: ~  Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Goudpada: ~Begin by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to understand and assimilate. +

Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to understand and assimilate. (Manduka Karika)

The bee builds a hive to collect the honey, but the bee is unaware of the fact that the honey it collected is enjoyed by many. In the same way, wisdom is enjoyed by many without the knowledge of the propagator.

A Gnani silently works to clear the ignorance through Advaitic wisdom; he is fully aware of the arrows of Advaitic wisdom and enters the core of existence, and the inner process will go on silently.

The path of wisdom attracts only those who are in search of truth, and they appreciate it greatly. The ignorant are not spiritually mature enough to receive Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana.

The ignorant indulge in argument and provocation and personal attack, which hinder their own realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman.

That is why Jesus said: - Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)

~ Jesus meant knowledge of the Spirit, the God, or Self-knowledge, or Bramah Gnana.

That is why Sage Sankara says:~ VC- 63- Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the ‘Self’, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

This must be what it means – Whoever has attained the knowledge of the Atman and his unity with it and thereby has been delivered from the illusion of individual existence into the understanding of the infinite truth, his good and evil deeds come to zilch. They are no longer his deeds, simply because he is no longer an individual. And having attained this communion, he ceases to perform any deeds or anticipate any returns from the deeds. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Chandogya Upanishad: ~ “Whoever sees the Self in all does not see death, disease, or diversity.+

Chandogya Upanishad: ~ “Whoever sees the Self in all does not see death, disease, or diversity.

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 the Self correctly.’ (7.3)

The Self is not the body.

The Self is not within the body.

You are not the Self.

You are bound by form, time, and space.

You are bound by the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

You are never free because the world in which you exist is the product of ignorance.

The world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. That single clay is the invisble Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The invisible Soul is the Self. The Soul is not ‘I’. The invisble Soul is the witness of the ‘I’ which appears and disappears.

The invisble Soul is the only permanent thing, and the ‘I’ is merely an illusion. If you do not understand this truth, you will never be able to cross the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion.

The seeker has to make sure what this ‘I’ is supposed to be. The seeker has to make sure of the unreal nature of the ‘I’, which comes and goes.

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 a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth, nothing but the truth.

That is why Sage Sankara says: - VC-65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman.

People refuse to accept anything other than their Guru's words. For them, their Guru's words are the ultimate truth. They do not accept anything other than their accepted truth. There is no need to convince such a mindset.

Such a mindset is not fit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana. The seekers of truth accept only the truth, nothing but the uncontradictable truth.:~Santthosh Kumaar

You are never free because the world in which you exist is the product of ignorance.+

People who think the ‘I’ in everyone and everything realize the Self without realizing ‘I’ is not within, but you are within the ‘I’, which is present in the form of the world.

The Self is not the body.

The Self is not with the body.

You are not the Self.

You are bound by form, time, and space.

You are bound by the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

You are never free because the world in which you exist is the product of ignorance.

If you stick to religion, then it blocks you from realizing the Advaitic truth, which is the ultimate truth, hidden by ignorance.+

All my writings highlight the truth hidden under the garbage of religion and theories, beliefs, and ideology.

There is no need to condemn religion, theories, beliefs, and ideology, but the falsity of the religion has to be exposed to the seeker's own information.

If you stick to religion, then it blocks you from realizing the Advaitic truth, which is the ultimate truth, hidden by ignorance. The religion is based on ignorance, and it is meant for the ignorant populace.

Seeker’s aim is to drop what is not the truth and accept only the truth beyond form, time, and space. Whatever belongs to form, time, and space is not the truth because the nature of the Soul is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

In the past, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was imparted only to a few because the Sages of truth had preserved it; people were more interested in their religious beliefs.

Nowadays, people are more advanced, capable of understanding, assimilating, and realizing the truth beyond form, time, and space.

As the seeker starts his journey, he may find it difficult in the first as he goes on reading the posts, his subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The truth is very simple. It is very difficult to realize because it is lost in the dualistic knowledge we inherited, collected from different sources, different masters, different gurus, different philosophies, different ideologies, different books, and scriptures. All this accumulated knowledge is a mere hill of garbage

Remember:~

The truth- realization is very simple. We make it complicated by mixing diverse theories, different ideologies, religions, and yoga.

All our accumulated knowledge is the greatest hindrance in the pursuit of truth. To realize the truth beyond form, time, and space, one must have the courage of the Bhagavan Buddha.

Bhagavan Buddha got enlightenment only after dropping the religion, the Vedas, and the concept of God. To realize the simple truth, there is no need to go from one mountain to another, one Ashram to another, or worship the Godmen or Guru as a God or convert from one faith to another. The truth is universal. Anyone can realize it if they have an intense urge.

The Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have to realize the world in which you exist is created out of a 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 because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

I 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 one gets a firm conviction of 'what is what'.

Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think, reason, and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’ and ’what is untruth’.

It takes time for the Soul, the Self, to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. In the world in which we exist, all our thoughts, words, beliefs, and experiences are nothing but consciousness.

Realizing consciousness is everything, is truth realization, or Self-realization, or God-realization. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

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 have nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Remember: ~

First, realize the ‘Self is not within you. You are bound by the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world, whereas the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, is birthless and deathless because it is an ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The invisible Soul is the Self. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it itself is uncaused. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, the world in which we exist hides the invisible Soul, which is God in truth.

Till you think the invisible Soul, the Self, is within you, you will never be able to realize God in truth. God in truth, is not limited to you, but it pervades everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist.

You are with the body. You are born in this world. You are living in this world, and you are going to die in this world. The world itself is an illusion.

When the ‘Self’ is not you but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, then what is the use of discussing the birth, life, death, and the world, because the one that is born, lives, and dies is not the Self. The invisible Soul is birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

You are the birth entity. Your existence is limited to form, time, and space. Your religion, your religious Gods, your beliefs, your religious rituals and prayers, your race, your nationality, are nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self, because the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

It is not that you have to establish in consciousness, but by realizing you, and your experience of the world is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness, the Self-awareness rises in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into consciousness by realizing that the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. If everything is consciousness, then how can anything exist that is not consciousness?

When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm, then everything falls into the right slot.

Self-realization is very much necessary to realize that the world is an illusion. Until and unless you realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, Self-realization is an impossibility.:~Santthosh Kumaar
