Some Gurus propagate be the perfect changeless Light – how can you become changeless light when your existence illumined by the Soul, the eternal light. Realize the Self is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
That is why Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing because a wise man said it, Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you yourself judge to be true
Swami Vivekananda:~“The wicked are always looking for defects. Flies come and seek for the ulcer, and bees come only for the honey in the flower. Do not follow the way of the fly but that of the bee.
If you are the truth-seeker than you are the bee, follow the way of the bee to taste the nectar of Advaita.
Bhagavan Buddha:~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.
You are not the witness (Soul) because you belong to the witnessed (world). Do not get fooled by the ornamental words.
You are nothing to do with the Soul because the Self is not you but the ‘Self is Soul, which is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself is uncaused. Your emotions and sentimental mentality keep you in the domain of ignorance permanently.
If you are seeking truth then it is time to come out of your emotions. You have become a victim of your own emotion. No physical Guru can give you Gnana. You have to walk your own path.
Swami Vivekananda: ~Jñāna Yoga is divided into three parts. First: hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya. Second: reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.
Swami Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery."
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 the 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.
A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.
That is why Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”
There is nothing to practice in order to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space.
Your faith and beliefs are nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. Clinging to religion and worship of religious Gods, rituals, and ceremony block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space.
To get to the fundamental core of Truth underlying the form, time and space you have to drop all that is not needed for realizing the truth.
Ashtavakra Gita:~ “The universe raises from the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."
The Soul is light which illuminates the whole cosmos. As soon as you get a glimpse the Reality of the true existence, you will realize the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
No can one see the Soul as it really is? You see the world that confronts you expect the Soul. The illusory universe hides the Soul’s Reality.
Swami Vivekananda:~ This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself to your own mind does not befit you, the Soul. Self is infinite, deathless, and birthless. Because the Self is infinite Spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is none to help you. Self is the entire world. Who can help you?
All accumulated knowledge is of no use in the path of wisdom. Without realizing “What is truth it is impossible to realize “What is untruth?” Without realizing what is truth and what is untruth it is impossible to assimilate the Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seeker must know with full and firm conviction what truth is.
The wisdom consists in knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is the consciousness. The freedom (ultimate truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the Soul or the consciousness, the Self, are quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Ashtavakra: ~ Diamonds are not many; only pebbles and rocks are so common. A single diamond is enough. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
