One need not renounce the worldly life and become sanyasi or monk. One need not retire from his business or corporate job and become a Guru all these religious and yogic propagated outdated ideas has to be discarded in order to realize the truth of the true existence.
Do not become a slave to all these outdated religious and yogic ideas they are not meant for those who seriously seeking the truth. There is no need to follow anyone. Self –realization becomes easy if you independently walk your path.
Atmic path is your own path. You have to tread the path alone to reach it alone finally nothing remains as reality other than the ATMA the Soul.
Stop your emotionally and sentimentally getting stuck with the Guru.
That is why Bhagavan Buddha: ~ Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Sage Sri, Sankara was a Gnani. Most of the modern masters are not Gnani. And you have to understand that to be a Gnani is one thing; to be a Guru is totally different.
Out of a million people perhaps one is a Gnani.
Most of the Self- realized decide to remain silent – seeing the difficulty, that whatever they have realized is impossible to convey in any possible way to others; seeing that not only is it difficult to convey, it is bound to be misunderstood too.
A Gnani never claims himself as a Gnani, he guides the seekers, not posing himself as a Guru, and he does not force his wisdom on others. A Gnani is not a religious person or Yogi.
One need not roam one mountain to another, one ashram to another or meeting gurus or yogis in order to get Gnana. One can get Gnana and become a Gnani wherever he lives.
We all are searching truth within the illusion, not being aware of the fact that the illusion is created out of single stuff which is the formless Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, searching the truth in the illusion with the illusory self, within the illusory experience, has to be an illusion. The illusion is created and sustained and finally dissolves as consciousness. There is no second thing exists other than consciousness. The consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman itself is God.
No one becomes a Gnani by taking sanyasa or wearing religious robes or by mastering the scriptures or by identifying with a religious symbol. Religious robe and religious symbols are not the means to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Blind faith is an obstacle in the pursuit of truth. The seeker should not waste his time on, he should primarily reflect on the Soul, the Self; not on the ‘I’.
The Soul, which is present in the form of the spirit (consciousness), is ever formless, timeless and spaceless existence.
Sruti says ~ "brahmavit brahmaiva bhavati" - He who knows Brahman becomes Brahman Itself. In the Advaita understanding of this statement, the "becoming" is only metaphorical. It is not as if something that was not Brahman suddenly becomes Brahman. Rather, "realizing Brahman" means a removal of the ignorance about one's own essential nature as Brahman. Thus, to "know Brahman" is to "be Brahman".
The one who has realized the identity of the Soul, the Self with the Brahman is a Gnani, one who is liberated even while embodied. Such a realization should not and cannot just be a literal understanding of Upanishadic Mahavakyas.
Remember:~
A Gnani is one who has realized the ultimate truth of the identity of the Soul, the Self. Thus, moksha is not a result of ritual action (path of karma a) or of devotional service (path of bhakti). These paths are egocentric paths therefore, they will not help anyway to get rid of the ignorance. In fact, moksha is not a result of anything, for it always exists. All that is required is the removal of ignorance. The path of wisdom helps the seeker to acquire the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Ashtavakara: ~"The man of knowledge, though living like an ordinary man, is contrary to him and only those like him understand his state
Remember
If you are aiming to be a master, sanyasi, monk, Gurus or teacher, you will never reach your destination. Aiming to be a master, sanyasi, monk, Gurus or teacher keeps you in the domain of ignorance.
By becoming a master, sanyasi, monk, Gurus or teacher the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of the ignorance wisdom will not dawn. Aiming to be a master, sanyasi, monk, Gurus or teacher is religious or propagated ideas, it is for the religious-minded people not for those who are seeking the truth of their true existence.
Advaitic Wisdom will not dawn by becoming some Gurus or yogi’s disciple or by studying some Guru's teaching. The people who are emotionally stuck with some Gurus and his teaching without verifying their validity will never be able to cross the threshold of the dualistic illusion.
Perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what leads to Self-awareness. A Gnani is neither anyone’s Gurus nor any one’s disciple. He respects all the Sage of the past and highlights good points in their teaching and he also highlights the obstacles, which blocks the realization of the ultimate truth.
A Gnani shares his knowledge with fellow seekers not to make them his followers, but only direct them if they are interested in traveling beyond form, time and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
