Advaita propagated by the Gurus of the East and West is not the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.+

Advaita propagated by the Gurus of the East and West is not the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. Following such gurus keeps the seeker permanently in the domain of ignorance.

Advaitic wisdom belongs to Sage Sankara, not to any other gurus of the east and west.

People are being caught up in illusion, searching for the ultimate reality in all the wrong places, always seeking it outside of ourselves in various rituals, temples, forests, and mountaintops, not realizing that what we seek is already hidden within the dualistic illusion, which is present in the form of the universe.

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.

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.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till you get a firm conviction. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until one gets a firm conviction of 'what is what'.

One needs to reflect on the subject and reason deeply and reach the ultimate end of understanding.

A permanent view of the world as an illusion can come only after soul-centric reasoning; such knowledge cannot change. Were the seeker were sufficiently sharp, he could grasp the unreal nature of the world by Soul-centric reasoning alone.

To know the whole truth, one must know the whole universe; otherwise, one gets only half-truth.

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.

Imparting the Advaitic wisdom to the unprepared mind would be equivalent to giving sermons to the stone statues.

Everyone is not ripe enough to understand, assimilate the Nondualistic or Advaitic truth. Some people want to exhibit their intellectual wealth, but it has no value in the pursuit of truth.

The seeker must have enough patience, humility, and an intense urge to know the truth. Arguments and provocation will not yield truth.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what ‘leads to the realization of Nondualistic or Advaitic truth.

As the seeker's understanding of ‘what is what ‘grows, gradually the seeker gets a glimpse of truth. Whatever is based on the waking entity is falsehood, and whatever is based on the invisible Soul, the Self, is real and eternal.

Thus, the seeker of truth must make sure the waking entity (ego) is not the Self, but the Self is the invisible Soul to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The seeker has to have an inner urge to know the truth, seriousness, patience, and humility to reach the ultimate end of understanding. A man of truth will not indulge in the argument; he keeps a distance from such a mindset. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Repetition and constant persistence are the way to sow the seed of Advaitic truth.+

As you keep reading the old posts and also the new posts, you will find answers to all your doubts and confusion.

As you try to find answers independently, the inner revelation will start, and you will be able to move on your own.

It is your sincerity and seriousness that will make you reach the ultimate end of understanding and realization.

Your devotion to the goal of realizing the truth and perfection will make you acquire the Advaitic wisdom.

Millions are searching for truth, but one in a million will realize it. You are one in a million.

The invisible Soul, the Self, reveals‘ what is real’ and ‘what is unreal' when the seeker is receptive and ready.

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 invisible Soul, the Self, to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the Self (truth), hidden by the ignorance(I).

Read, reason, and reflect, again and again, to get a firm conviction.

Repeated reading and reflection on my blogs and posts helps the seeker to get rid of all accumulated knowledge, which is blocking their realization of truth.

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and posting is a mental exercise to sow the seed of Advaita. That is the only way to make the egocentric subconscious soulcentric.

Reading my posts and blogs often propels the reader into the thinking process.

By repeated reading of the words of wisdom on this subject, the inner whirling in the subconscious takes place, which replaces the old thoughts by accepting the new ones.

Perfect understanding removes all sorts of obstacles in the pursuit of truth.

Only through constant repetition of words in my posts will one think differently, but it also creates more doubts and confusion in their subconscious, and their inner urge to know the truth, even more intense. It also helps to overcome some of our conditioning, which we have inherited from parental grooming and circumstances.

Repetition of the words assists a seeker to help focus his attention from form (body) to formless (Soul or consciousness), which is very much necessary in the pursuit of truth.

Repetition is an effective tool and has an effect on the subconscious, which is not receptive to receiving new truth because it is conditioned to receive only logical conclusions based on the ego ( you).

Remember

Come ye slow, or come ye fast; it is but the invisible Soul, the Advaita that reveals itself at last.

There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which we exist is created out of a single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is real and eternal.

All my blogs and postings are the verified truth. As one goes on reading, all his doubts and confusion will start clearing.

It takes some time to be receptive to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is the Soulcentric knowledge, whereas all accumulated knowledge is egocentric.

Repetition and constant persistence are the way to sow the seed of Advaitic truth.

Those who seek the truth should not stop seeking until they realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Consciousness (Spirit) 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.

By constantly repeated reading, reflecting is the way to sow the seed of the Advaitic truth, in the subconscious.

One of the reasons I have been expressing about its repetition of the same thing, again and again, is to grasp the Advaitic truth.

It takes a few months for seekers to assimilate what has been said through my posts and blogs.

The seeker not only reads the posts by constantly reflecting on the Self, which is a constant mental exercise, but he will be able to grasp and assimilate the Advaitic wisdom.

The seekers who have an intense urge, the truth-oriented, and are ready to verify everything and ready to accept the truth after verification will reach the non-dual destination without hurdles.

Religionists, theorists, and intellectuals can never grasp what is being said here because they have preconceived ideas of their accepted truth; therefore, they refuse to verify the facts.

Anything communicated through my posts and blogs comes from the `inner core of existence'(Soul), not from judgment based on the ego.

The seeker may find it a bit irritating, at first, repetitive messages will be stirred enough to divert their attention from the invisible Soul and the point of view I am emphasizing.

Only through frequently repeated reading and reflecting on my posts and blogs, the seeker will be able to shift his attention from the ego and focus his attention on the invisible Soul, and he becomes Soulcentric.

The seeker has to read repeatedly and reflect on the subject repeatedly, which helps the seeker to get a firm conviction of uncontradicted truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Advaita is the proof of the existence because the dvaita hides the proof..+

Sage Sankara: ~ Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by good work, nor by learning, Self-realization is possible.

Advaita is the nature of the Soul. Advaita is second to none. Advaita is universal wisdom that reveals on its own to all the serious and sincere seekers of truth.

The real Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is soulcentric knowledge. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is soulcentric knowledge that destroys ignorance.

In the Samkhya tradition, there is Purusha, and there is Prakriti is based on the dualistic perspective. And these two are as separate as the clockmaker and the clock.

Sage Sankara says: VC- How can the talk of diversity, dvaita, apply to the Supreme Reality, which is one and homogeneous, Advaita? Who has ever observed diversity, dvaita, in the unmixed bliss of the state of profound sleep?

From the non-dualistic perspective, the Atman, the Self, is what they call Purusha. The Atman is the fullness of consciousness. The illusory world, in which we exist, they call it Prakriti.

From the non-dualistic perspective, the Atman (Purusha) and the world (Prakriti) are one in essence; therefore, they are not two. The world is an illusion created out of a single clay. And that single clay is Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by good work, nor by learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation possible, and by no other means.

That is why Sage Sankara, VC- v6~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together.

Sage Sankara goes on to say: ~A sickness not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman.” Brahman must be realized. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely noise. Until a man has destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying, “I am a king.”

Sage Sankara says:~ A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya, and the effects of Maya.

The Atmic path is not for religious and yogic-minded people. Religious and yogic people must move on their chosen path. The Atmic path is for only seekers of truth who are seriously searching for the truth of their own existence.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see it differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego; therefore, he experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness, and he is fully aware of the fact that there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness.

Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space: ~Santthosh Kumaar

The form, time, and space are the illusory expressions of the Soul, the Self.+

The form, time, and space are the illusory expressions of the invisible Soul, the Self. In reality, the form, time, and space are one in essence.

The form, time, and space together are the ‘I’; without the ‘I’, the form, time, and space cease to exist.

The form, time, and space together are the mind. Without the mind, form, time, and space cease to exist.

The form, time, and space together are the universe. Without form, time, and space, the universe ceases to exist.

When the expression itself is illusory, then the evolution within the illusory expression is bound to be an illusion. Thus, the evolution theory holds no water from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the  Self.

The invisible Soul, the Self, is hidden by the universe (mind) because the universe is an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Direct knowledge of the Self can be acquired by one through the Self while realizing the Self. Self-realization is the essence of human existence.

Where there is unity, one without a second; there is the world of nondual reality. The nondual truth is the ultimate truth. And the ultimate truth itself is God in truth.  

Remember:~ 

If they take the practical life within the practical world as a reality, then they have accepted their experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality.

If they have accepted their experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, then they have accepted the waking experience as reality.

If they have accepted the waking experience as reality, then they have accepted the form, time, and space as reality.

If they have accepted the form, time, and space as a reality, then they have accepted the duality as a reality.

If they have accepted the duality as a reality, then they have accepted the mind as a reality.

If they have accepted the mind as a reality, they have accepted the ‘I’ as a reality.

If they have accepted the ‘I’ as reality, then they have accepted the illusion as a reality

If they accepted the illusion as a reality, then they are in the realm of ignorance.

Till they hold the ‘I’ as the Self, the Soul, the Self will remain in the prison of the dualistic illusion. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Enlightenment through sex is a hoax.+

Enlightenment through sex is a hoax.

When the Self is not you but the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness then how can the invisible Soul, which is an ever-formless, timeless and spaceless existence get enlightenment through sexual intercourse?

The Soul is prior to the world in which you exist. All the sex-based enlightenment is based on the false self is nothing but imagination. Imagination leads to hallucinations. Sex-based ideas may be juicy, but there is no truth in such physicalized theories.

If you are seeking truth never get stuck with the physical-based enlightenment because the physical existence itself is an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Having food or no food, Having sex or no sex, wearing clothes, or being naked does not qualify you to get 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 that 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’? - inquiry 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 '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. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes palace. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.+

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes palace. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. 

The Advaitic wisdom dawns when you realize the Self is not you, but the  Self is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, all the happening within the illusion is bound to be an illusion. 

Until ignorance is there, the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.

The visions are dualistic and have no value as truth. Vision has its pragmatic value but people fail to stop and ask, "What is the ultimate meaning of this experience?" Therefore, the inquiry is needed to realize ‘What is the truth?’ ‘What is untruth?’

People object to introducing inquiry into the quest to adopt an attitude as though it were like introducing something which is not sacred.

Ignorance blocks people from realizing the truth hidden by the untruth because he has accepted the untruth as to the ultimate truth. 

People are unaware of the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God in truth.

The ultimate truth, or Brahman or God, can be realized only when he realizes the Self hidden by the ‘I’. The invisible Self, the Spirit is God in truth, not the ‘I’. Only those who realize the Spirit as the Self are real Gnani.

When reality appears this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of the Spirit (God in truth) is Spirit. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the universe is born out of the Spirit, is Spirit in its essence.

Only through Advaitic wisdom, it is possible to realize the God in truth hidden by the veil of ignorance. Ignorant people take God for granted without realizing what God is in actuality. Realization of what God is necessary to become real.

When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom then the world in which you exist which you think as reality becomes an illusion.

Sage Goudapada’s rational exposition of Advaita:~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

Thus, whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person within the waking experience is bound to be an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness alone, is real and eternal.

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.

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 everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Goudpada’s rational exposition of Advaita: ~ Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.

The essence of the Mundaka Upanishads is:~ Do not be satisfied with rituals, yoga, etc., which are good in their own way, but inquire. Inquire into the nature of the mind.

Brahman and Atman are things one can never see. So the seeker should not inquire into them. He has to inquire into the world around him, which he can see.

A deeper analysis reveals the world is passing away every second. Everything is dying repeatedly.

Where is it going?

Thus, he follows up his investigation into what he can lay his hands on.

How can he inquire into Atman, which he cannot see?

So first, he must deal with the known and seen; this inquiry leads up to the unknown in the end.

Mediocre minds waste their time arguing about unimportant matters. Accumulation of scriptural knowledge is dangerous in the pursuit of the truth.

The Seeker has to establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. The seeker has to begin by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss, understand, and assimilate Self-knowledge. Thus, the seeker has to remove all the hindrances to acquire Self-knowledge.

Remember:~

Those Gurus who speak of the ‘Self is within you are propagating half-baked knowledge, made their own cocktail, propagated it as nonduality or Advaita.

The Self is the Soul is the cause of you and the world in which you exist. Your individual experience of birth, life, and the world has nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self, because you and your individual experience of birth, life, and the world are merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

You are not you, but consciousness; your body is not the body, but consciousness; the world in which you exist is not the world but consciousness.

Everything is known, seen, believed, and experienced by you is nothing but consciousness; then what else remains, which is not consciousness?

There is nothing else to realize other than to realize that consciousness alone is, and everything else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

By realizing that everything is consciousness is the Advaitic wisdom dawns. A perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ leads to Advaitic awareness.

Without the world in which you exist, God in truth alone exists. When God in truth disappears, then the world, in which you exist, appears. The world in which you exist disappears, God in truth appears. Thus, realize the God in truth to be the invisible Soul, the Self.

The invisible Soul is the Self. Thus, the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

If you stick to the ultimate truth, then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

If you realize this truth, you will live in this world but not in this world. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal. : ~  : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
