Sage Sankara is the only sage who says it is impossible to find and realize the truth via religion and scriptural study.

If Sage Sankara has declared the world is myth Brahman alone is real then it is the time for everyone to overcome ignorance and realize the truth in order to realize whether Sage Sankara said was the truth or not.

It is time for the reform of human society free from dogmas and superstition.  With nagging orthodox parents trying to impose their orthodox ideas on their children staying in the Self-imposed prison of orthodoxy without realizing they themselves are on the wrong path and they think they are on the right path to Moksha.    The orthodox people live in the prison of dogmas. 

The orthodox people expect their clan to follow certain outdated religious codes of conduct (Shastras) and live dogmatically following the traditional lifestyle. Those who followed the orthodoxy are favored and others are condemned they are thinking they are going to get Moksha by doing this act. Their chosen path is meant for the ignorant populace who have a sheepish mentality blindly accepting the inherited dogmas. 

It is high time to stop judging who is right and who is wrong in this unreal world instead spend the same time to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to realize the world(samsara) is unreal the Brahman alone is real.   

It is high time for the educated orthodox followers to realize their religious-based orthodox path was meant for the ignorant populace in the past, therefore, it is not suited for the modern mindset.

According to Advaita Vedanta, the Veda addresses itself to two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the more advanced seeker who seeks to know Brahman. Thus, the Purva mimam. sa, with its emphasis on the karma kanda of the Vedas, is meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, the Vedanta, with its emphasis on the Jnana Kanda, is meant for those who wish to go beyond such transient pleasures.

The orthodox seekers are the ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices. 

When Sage Sankara says the world is an illusion, it includes birth, life, and death, which happens within the world.  Thus the seeker's main aim is to mentally trace the formless substance of the illusion, which is also the witness of the illusion. The formless substance and witness of the illusion (world) is the Atman, and this Atman itself is Brahman.

All desire for the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices are a dualistic illusion. Therefore heaven and other pleasures are nothing but imagination based on the false self within the false experience. all the results of rituals and sacrifices are nothing but a myth propagated by the belief system.

It is time to stop imposing their inherited ideas onblockhildren which blocks their reasoning power from believing all the myths propagated in the past by the belief system as truth.  The path of the wisdom of Sage Sankara is most suited for the modern mindset.  The orthodox religious Advaitic path is nothing to do with ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Sage Sankara said:~  Talk 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.

Getting stuck with the religious path is getting stuck with ignorance. Getting stuck with ignorance is getting stuck with dualistic illusion. Getting stuck with the dualistic illusion is accepting the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. Thus people who want freedom or Moksha right here right now must that in this very life and in this very world must follow the Soulcentric path of wisdom.  

Remember: ~

Seekers of truth should not believe blindly in traditional orthodox non-duality without verifying all the facts from every angle.

You exist within the dualistic illusion there is Goal.   You are not the Self; therefore, you are not the Goal. You are the false self within the false experience.

The ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist, which the dualistic illusion. And consciousness itself is uncased.  

Sage Sankara says in the commentary on the Vedanta sutra that what is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress.  

Seekers of truth should not believe blindly in traditional orthodox non-duality without verifying all the facts from every angle. One has to reflect through reasoning over and over again without getting tired of the process.

The Self- realization arises only when you realize the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul then on the standpoint of the Soul, the Self you and the world in which you exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. This is the truth. The realization of the truth is Self-realization.

You and the world in which you exist are unreal because the world in which you exist is an illusion and the  consciousness alone is real because the illusion is created out of  consciousness.

Remember this: If the Soul is the ‘Self’ then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. The world is a reality on the base of the ego (you), which is the false self within the false experience.

The world in which you exist is the product of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes the unreal nature of the world n which you exist is exposed. In the same way, the unreal nature of the dream was exposed when waking takes place. Ignorance vanishes when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ helps the seeker to remove all the obstacles, which is blocking our realization.

That is why Sage Sankara says: ~VC-63- "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

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

Remember:~

The Advaita hidden by the dualistic illusion will not be revealed if you are acting with uncertainty, hesitance or lack of confidence. It will be revealed only to the sincere and serious seekers who never feel tired and exhausted, and never feel hopeless.

The ignorance is great, it seems to be almost endless, but their hope is greater than  ignorance.

Thousands of times they are defeated in their effort in understanding, and nothing happens, but as they go on and on. Their passion for the Advaita (God in truth) is so tremendous. They can accept all kinds of defeats and frustrations, but their quest continues.

Hope means hoping for that which seems almost impossible. Hope means hoping against all hope. Hope means trying to see that which you have not seen, and you cannot even be certain whether it exists or not.  Hope is needed to unfold the Advaita (God) hidden by the ‘I’ the dualistic illusion.

It takes time for the subconscious to gain speed; it takes time for the Soul to awake, and it takes time for the Soul which has been in the sleep of ignorance to wake up to its own awareness.

Unwavering, they go on and on till they transcend the world in which they exist as the consciousness, the ocean of Advaita. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
