Sage Sri, Sankara makes a distinction between the dualistic view and the nondualistic view of the universe.+*****

Only when we independently search the truth without the religion and its doctrine then we will be able to realize the truth. which is hidden by the illusory form, time and space.

Swami Vivekananda: ~Jñāna Yoga is divided into three parts. First: hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya. Second: reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.

Sage Sri, Sankara makes a distinction between the dualistic view and the nondualistic view of the universe.

Unless one exercises his Buddhi ~reason~ there is no chance of getting the ultimate truth or Brahman.  

Sage Sri, Sankara himself had often said that his philosophy was based on Sruti, or revealed scripture. This may be because,  Sage Sri, Sankara addressed the ordinary man, who finds security in the idea of causality and thus, in the idea of God—and Revelation is indispensable to prove the latter. He believed that those of superior intelligence, have no need for this idea of divine causality, and can, therefore, dispense with Sruti and arrive at the truth of Advaita by pure reason.

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 he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one 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.

Remember:~ 

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

Realize with firm conviction the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which present in the form of the consciousness.

Right here and right in this very life if realize with firm conviction the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which present in the form of the consciousness.

To realize the self is not you but the Soul profits much rather than searching the truth in an external world moving from one ashram to another and one Guru to another and one mountain to another.

To realize the Self’ is not you but the ‘self is the Soul, there is no need for a Guru, there is no need to study scriptures, there is no need to go to the mountain, there is no need for gurus blessing or grace. There is no need to waste your fortune and precious time of your life.  There is no need to follow anyone.

All accumulated knowledge is mental Garbage is no use in the quest for truth. The seeker has to discard all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ through deeper thinking and reasoning helps to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Remember:~

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings gradually,   the seekers will start assimilating and realizing ‘what is the truth’ and what the untruth is. Repeated reading my blogs and postings make the seeker, Soulcentric, and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.

When there is no doubts and confusion, then they have realized the truth that the form, time and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. There is no use in wasting time in questioning and arguing the same time and effort has to be used to make the seeker more independent and without external spoon-feeding, he can reach the inner core, which is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

In the Atmic path discussion of the unimportant subject matter is a great hindrance. The path of truth is the path of verification. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. Agreeing to disagree causes unnecessary friction.

The truth is very simple but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. 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 the consciousness.

If you have an intense urge and ready to drop all your accumulated knowledge and start afresh then you are fit and ready to take this mental journey.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
