Sage Sankara said:~ Study as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.
Even though people have read philosophy and may be able to explain things to others, all these philosophies are worthless pieces of paper unless the ‘truth’, which is beyond the form, time, and space, is realized.
Sage Sankara said:~ 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
One can never attain spiritual perfection without a perfect understanding of what is ‘what’. A Gnani finds the content of all the philosophical books as playthings.
Sage Sankara says ~ VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc. , which are unreal.
People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.
The truth seekers from different walks of life from all over the world are struggling to know the mystery of their own existence. Due to the inborn and the inherited conditioning or samskara, it becomes difficult to grasp the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
Religious beliefs, social and cultural bondage, personal predilections and phobias become the greatest obstacle to discovering the ultimate truth. However, an intense inner urge to know the ultimate truth will not be satisfied until the journey to the unknown is completed.
The seeker has to cross many obstacles and barricade injected by religion society beliefs and behaviors.
The fact is something that has to be proved beyond all doubts and cannot be challenged.
The truth cannot be found in an antique shop there is no use of trying one old idea to another it leads towards the confusion. Nothing can be achieved or attained since the very base of seeking truth is based on the false Self (ego) and false experience (waking).
Remember:~
Remember:~
The seeker has to learn to view and judge the three states from the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self. Only when the seeker becomes Soulcentric then the truth will start unfolding gradually according to the spiritual maturity of the seeker.
When the Soul wakes up from its sleep of ignorance then there is no more diversity. The diversity is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
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 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 he 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 reading and hearing 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 realizes the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
