Gnanis have ignored the opinions of whole peoples in their independent search for truth and questioned all beliefs, all scriptures, and all authorities until they could be proven to be true.
Even the arguments that religions have been followed since time immemorial make no difference to them because if people have believed a false thing over thousands of years, the length of time does not prove it true.
The ultimate truth does not belong to the religion because the religion and its belief of God and its scriptures are a reality within the scope of form, time, and space whereas the ultimate truth is beyond form, time, and space.
The Gnani will follow whatever occupation he wishes according to circumstances. There are no prohibitions for him. He may be a peasant or a billionaire.
Gnanis do not perform miracles to attract attention to the truth. If anyone performs Miracles in a dream the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.
Advaitic Wisdom dawns when the waking entity (you) realizes it, itself is not the Self, but the Self is the formless Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states.
The witness of the three states and the three states are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Gnani accepts the sameness in pleasure and pain because he is fully aware of the fact that pleasure, pain, and the world are made of the same stuff and that stuff is the Soul or consciousness. Without consciousness, there is no pleasure, pain, and the world.
Gnani’s position is that if enjoyment comes, he accepts it; if it does not, he keeps quiet. Even when he is taking pleasures, however, they do not delude him and he regards them as a game he is playing for he knows their unreality: he does not take them seriously.
Remember:~
A Gnani is always there to remind us of the Truth and gives the correct guidance. The ultimate truth is that the seekers have to do their own homework and no God will come to do it. Sadly this is not acceptable to many.
A Gnani will never advertise. A Gnana is like a flower. People reach them following the fragrance.
People can only lecture for giving out falsehood, but it is a waste of time to deliver a public lecture giving out the truth. It is the illusions that appeal to the taste of the audience because they are ignorant about the world in which they exist is merely an illusion, from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self.
A crowd at a venue will contain men of varying capacities to understand, of whom only one or two might be receptive to receive Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
If one wants to interview a Gnani then he must be ripe enough to understand what a Gnani is pointing at. A Gnani will be withholding the truth because he is aware of the fact that, the unready people will not understand what he is saying.
The path of wisdom is not the path of argument. The argument is possible only from the standpoint of the ego, which is the false self within the false experience.
That is why Bhagavad Gita says: ~ "Don't unsettle the minds of the ignorant by revealing the esoteric truth.”
A Gnani may travel provided he actively engaged therein helping the serious seekers. For the benefit of those who think from the lower standpoint of the world of duality, the Gnani tells them to follow their chosen path and when they are convinced that their chosen paths are inadequate and useless in quenching their inner thirst then only they take the path of wisdom.
Gnani will not talk about practical life within the practical world. A Gnani will open up the knowledge treasure to a genuine seeker. :~Santthosh Kumaar
