Dualistic knowledge is not Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+

When you realize that religion, educational qualification, and yoga have not been helpful to quench his spiritual thirst then he starts his quest for truth independently by dropping religion, yoga, and intellectualism.   

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

Religion and its paramparas, tradition, culture, and yoga have nothing to do with  Sage  Sankara's Advaitic wisdom.  

What is the use of arguing on the base of the birth entity, which is not the Self?

What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the Self is birthless? 

What is the use of thinking of heaven and hell when the ‘Self ‘is not an individual and it is never born and never dies?   

Human knowledge is dualistic knowledge. Dualistic knowledge is helpful only in practical life in the practical world. Dualistic knowledge is not Advaitic wisdom or  Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 

Dualistic knowledge is based on form, time, and space whereas Self-knowledge is based on the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.  Self-knowledge Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Soulcentric knowledge.

To acquire Self-knowledge the seeker must realize the Self is not the ‘I’ but the Self is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the ‘I’.  Whatever knowledge is based on ‘I’ is dualistic. And whatever is based on the Soul, the Self is nondualistic.  The seeker must discard the ‘I’ to get Advaitic Gnana.

Whatever teachings available so far are inadequate and useless to acquire self-knowledge. All the teachings glorified the ‘I’ and glorified the Gurus.   All the ‘I-centric teaching Leads to hallucination based on imagination.

The Soul is the best object of study. But a purely theoretical study of the Soul does not take the seeker very far, though it is always better to study the Soul than to be completely ignorant about his existence.

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

The ignorant indulge in argument provocation and personal attack, which hinders 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 or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ “Don't unsettle the minds of the ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth."

Remember:~

Katha Upanishad says: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. (II -23-P-20) 

Thus, those who have taken the path of wisdom are chosen ones.  The chosen one will get the grace of the Soul, the inner Guru. The path of wisdom is the Soulcentric path, whereas all other paths are egocentric.  All egocentric paths lead to hallucination.

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

Sage Sankara restrained himself parting  Advaitic wisdom to the mass and only a selected few. It was hidden from the ignorant populace that was not qualified and receptive to it. Advaitic wisdom was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few. Thus, religion was given to the ignorant populace, and knowledge of the Spirit was given to only a selected few. Thus we find traces of the knowledge of the Spirit in the religious books in the form of parables.

That is why 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, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by perverse arguments.

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

Do not believe in a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe in a thing because a wise man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by dualistic knowledge Find out the truth for yourself. Use Soulcentric reason, which leads to the realization of the truth, which is hidden by ignorance.

Advaitic wisdom can never be gained by argument and provocation. Discard all the accumulated dualistic knowledge by realizing the world in which you exist, exists because of ignorance. 

Get rid of ignorance by realizing 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. Realizing the Self is not you but the Soul is Self-realization. The Soul is the cause of the universe and it, itself is uncaused.

Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch~ II-5 P-14)

Those who indulge in the perverted argument on their own standpoint and opinion are not seeking the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. They just want to exhibit their accumulated knowledge accumulated from here and there. They think what they know is the ultimate truth.

They think whatever they propagate is the ultimate truth. The question never occurs to them, “Is what I know really the truth. :~Santthosh Kumaar
