The purpose quest for truth is to first find out what is the untruth to realize the truth and discard the untruth.+

The Soul, the Self is verily Brahman (God), being equanimous, quiescent, and by nature absolute Existence, Knowledge, and Awareness.  The Soul is not the ‘I’ which is non-existence itself.  Realization of this truth is called Self- Knowledge by the Sages of truth.

There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ cease to exist without consciousness. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘The permanent (consciousness) is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides Soul, the Self, Soul is God in truth.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

First, you must make sure the ‘I’ itself is illusory because the ‘I’ is not permanent. The seeker has to find for himself the truth of the true existence and to come to a fuller and deeper understanding and realization of the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

The purpose quest for truth is to first find out what is the untruth to realize the truth and discard the untruth.  

As an individual, you are unaware of the Self, which is hidden by the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is present in the form of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind.  The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

The Soul, the Self is unaware of itself in the dualistic illusion or Maya.  

The individual realizes that he is Brahman on the Awareness of being Brahman.  So it is Brahman, who is under ignorance.  It is He who receives the instruction in this process.  Because the instruction is being received by Him, it is a teaching.  Thus the instruction becomes one with what is taught and through that it becomes one with the Supreme Brahman.  Hence you cannot state that the instruction lacks the ‘value as a teaching’ in it.  This whole scenario is applicable only in the case of ignorant people.  In the case of enlightened people like us, as you said, instruction cannot have the ‘value as teaching.’

This is your bondage that you are stuck up to the ‘I’ centric teaching.  ‘I’ centric teachings are lower knowledge meant for lower stages.

The seeker has to ignore these ‘I’ based teaching and search for higher knowledge. ... Such teachings are unsafe rafts for crossing the ocean of ignorance.  Doomed to shipwreck are those who try to cross the ocean of the ignorance on these poor rafts. Ignorant of their own ignorance, yet wise in their own esteem, these deluded people proud of their vain learning go round and round like the blind led by the blind.

Gnani and Illusion.

A King who was greatly incensed at the wisdom taught by Gnani that everything here below is an illusion. He wanted to teach the exponent of this doctrine a lesson. So he invited the then Gnani to his palace. That Gnani went there and stoutly maintained that everything in this world is an illusion.

The king had arranged to let loose a hungry lion against Gnani. The beast rushed at Gnani who took to a precipitate flight to save himself.

'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast seeing that the lion is only an illusion?'

'Oh, king,' said Gnani in the course of his flight, 'my running too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.’

***

Similarly, whatever takes place in this world, in which you exist, is an illusion. The Avatar based on mythology is a religious fable. God is not an individual. Avatar belongs to the domain of form, time, and space whereas God is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The world in which you exist is created out of God and God is present in the form of consciousness. Thus everything is created out of God, thus all animate and inanimate things of the world are nothing but God. It is foolish to say only some human being as an Avatar the whole illusory creation is Avatar of God. Only those who have realized the body is not the Self and the Self as the innermost 'Self', like Meher Baba, can say of the Avatar because his vision of the world is Soulcentric.

Remember:~

In mystical realization, they call Self- Realized person as Avatar.  In spiritualistic realization, they call the Self-realized person as Gnani. A Gnani is the one, who is fully aware of the fact that  the Self is not the form but Self is formless consciousness and  he considers his body and his experience of the world as an illusion created out of  the Soul or the consciousness

Righteousness, peace, and love to divinity are necessary within the dualistic illusion. Righteousness, peace, and love for divinity are created out of consciousness. Without consciousness, there is no Righteousness, no peace, and no love. Realizing the consciousness as the ultimate truth is truth realization.

Righteousness, peace, and love to divinity are necessary for practical life within the practical world, but they are no qualifications for truth realization.

A Gnani vision of the world, in which he exists, is, beyond time and space, embracing the Soul, ultimate reality. The universe in which you exist is within the Soul, the Self.

Gnani observes the reality is hidden by the dualistic illusion (world) as it is in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Self- Knowledge is only is true knowledge not the absence of duality. Self -Knowledge cannot destroy the world but it eliminates ignorance and exposes the unreal nature of the mind or universe.

A Gnani is the one who has realized the universe in which he exists is nothing but consciousness. Self-awareness is unique. It cannot be experienced because it is prior to any experience. It is possible only by the realization of the knowledge of the Infinite."

A Gnani sees only unity in diversity, just like a goldsmith estimating the gold in various items of jewelry sees only gold. When one identifies the Self with the form then only the form, time, and space are present. But when one transcends form, time, and space the duality never remains as reality.

The world in which you exist is not separate from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness because the world in which you exist is an illusion created out of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Self-realization is to realize the fact that the ‘Self is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul.+

The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The dualistic illusion has appeared on its own and it will disappear on its own.

Birth, life, and death are happening within the dualistic illusion. You did not choose your birth, but it just happened. You think you are responsible for your success and failure in your life. You think it is your destiny, but your destiny is within the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Suppose in a dream you are successful in your life and accumulated wealth enough for your lifetime with a caring wife and children but when you wake up you will realize the dream becomes unreal because you are unsuccessful in your life and you do not have enough money to live, your wife has divorced and gone in the waking experience.

The waking experience also becomes unreal when you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Self-realization is to realize the fact that the ‘Self is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul.

If the Self is not you, but the Self is the Soul automatically the waking experience (the world in which you exist) becomes unreal, the same way, the dream became unreal when the waking took place.

Within the dualistic illusion whatever is not to happen will not happen try as you may. Within the dualistic illusion, whatever is to happen will happen, whatever you may do to prevent it. The best course, therefore, is to realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, the  Self.

Just wait and watch. Everything is a passing show. Our suffering is part of the illusory play of consciousness. Suffering comes to turn our attention from outward to inward to find answers to many questions.

The one that appears as waking and one that appears as a dream and one that remains without the waking or dream is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The one that witnessed the dream as a whole is not you but the Soul. The same witness is the witness of the waking experience. And the same witness remains without the waking or dream in deep sleep.

The Soul is the witness (Seer) and the Soul is witnessed (Seen). In reality, there is neither the witness (Seer) nor the witnessed (Seen) because they are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, the Advaita. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

It is foolish to say only some human being as an Avatar the whole illusory creation is Avatar of God.+

Sage Sankara’s  Brahman or God in truth in truth is impersonal. Worshiping personal Gods is meant for the ignorant  people who are refuse to accept the truth.  

You do not need the grace and blessings of the physical Gurus because you along with your guru are part and parcel of the illusory universe ort Maya,

Vedas bar human worship. There is no need for the seeker of truth to indulge in glorifying the Gurus and worship them as Gods.

There is no use of prostration to holy sandals of the Guru or indulgencing in Pada Pooja (feet worship) when the inner Guru is Soul, the ‘Self’, which is ever formless. The guru who identifies with his experience of birth, life, death, and the world, and the disciple who worships his guru’s body, will remain ignorant of the truth beyond the form, time, and space. Without getting rid of the ignorance they will never get freedom from experiencing the dualistic illusion as reality.

People think prostrating to a religious Guru, adoring the worst poverty-stricken have turned out to be great possessors of wealth, and even the mutes have turned out to be great masters of speech are ideas based on the dualistic perspective is meant for the ignorant populace which accepts the world as a reality. From the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’, the world in which birth, life, and death take place is merely an illusion.

People think by prostrating to the physical Guru, which serves as the downpour of water to put out the fire of misfortunes, which removes the groups of distresses of those who prostrate to them. The devotion to the physical Guru and grace with the valuable dominion of renunciation is the religious idea. All the religious belief is nothing to with the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The devotion to the physical Guru and grace with the valuable dominion of renunciation is the religious idea.

A person who realized the ultimate truth or Brahman will throw off his religious robe and his religious identity and becomes free from experiencing the illusory duality as a reality.

Why worship and glorify the GURUS and YOGIS when Vedas bar human worship: ~

Translation 3

Yajur Veda:~

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time."- (Yajur Veda 40:9)

Then why worship and glorify the GURUS and YOGIS (human form) in place of God when Veda bars such activities and also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

Meher Baba said: ~ God is your innermost Self. Do not search for God outside of you. Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is and all else is an illusion. 

Meher Baba:~Every one of us is Avatar, in the sense that everyone and everything is everyone and everything, at the same time, and for all time.

Meher Baba: ~ “When the reality appears this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.

Meher Baba says:~ Unless and until ignorance is removed and Knowledge is gained . . . the Knowledge whereby the Divine Life is experienced and lived . . . everything pertaining to the spiritual seems paradoxical . . . God, whom we do not see, we say is real; and the world, which we do see, we say is false.

In experience, what exists for us does not really exist; and what does not exist for us, really exists.

Meher Baba said: ~ "There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization."

Meher Baba said: ~ God is your innermost Self. Do not search for God outside of you. Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is and all else is an illusion.

Remember:~

In mystical realization, they call Self- Realized person as Avatar without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality.  In spiritualistic realization, they call the Self-realized person as Gnani who has realized God in truth. 

A Gnani is the one, who is fully aware of the fact that the Self is not the form but the Self is consciousness, and he considers his body and his experience of the world as an illusion created out of  the Soul or consciousness

Righteousness, peace, and love for divinity are necessary within the dualistic illusion or Maya. Righteousness, peace, and love for divinity are created out of consciousness.

A Gnani's vision of the world, in which he exists, is, beyond time and space, embracing the Soul, ultimate reality. The universe in which you exist is within the Soul, the Self.

Gnani observes the reality hidden by the dualistic illusion (world) as it is in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth,  Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth.  The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. 

Self- Knowledge is true knowledge of God in truth, not the absence of duality. Self -Knowledge cannot destroy the world but it eliminates ignorance and exposes the unreal nature of the mind or universe.

Sage Sankara says the rewards of the rituals are not a matter of direct realization. Advaitic wisdom is based on personal realization.+

Sage Sankara said: ~ Worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but the liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

No religious God can exist apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

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.

All the religious Gods with form and attributes cease to exist without the dualistic illusion.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

How can you worship God? That implies two ~ the worshipper and the worshipped, whereas God is nondual. One can worship his idea of God only or realize his unity with it when he can’t worship it as apart.

When Upanishads and Vedas declare that, “God is in the form of the Athma, and God is indeed Athma itself” then why accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman.

God has to be realized not worshipped.

Advaitic Orthodoxy misinterpreted Sage Sankara and presented only the religious side of his teaching as the highest doctrine. Thus, people are misled. The orthodoxy is based on rituals and mythical Gods and Karma. Advaitic wisdom of Sage  Sankara is nothing to with Advaitic orthodoxy.

Let Advaitic wisdom annihilate ignorance (I) and reveal Soul, the Self the God in truth. Let your ears become deaf to the untruth propagated by the religion as a reality; enable you to realize the truth hidden by the ignorance (I). Let your eyes become blind to illusion to receive the Soul as the Self as it is in the midst of the dualistic illusion.

Sage Sankara makes a distinction between the Nondualistic view and the dualistic view of the universe.

Genuine philosophy must be independent of religion, that in Sage Sankara himself the Saguna Brahman or a personal God is only a part of the phenomenal (if not illusory) world and the Nirguna Brahman is the only reality and has nothing to do with religion.

The Brahma Sutras together with Sage Sankara's commentary thereon do not contain the higher wisdom. They are intended for those who are incapable of thinking rationally.

Sage Sankara's commentary on the Brahma Sutras is not on a philosophical basis but on an orthodox and mystic basis, with an appeal to the Vedas as a final authority.

In Brahma Sutra Sage Sankara takes the position that there is another entity outside us, i.e. the wall really exists separately from the mind. This was because Sage  Sankara explains in Manduka that those who study the Sutras are orthodox minds, intellectual children, hence his popular viewpoint to assist them. These people are afraid to go deeper because it means being heroic enough to refuse to accept Sruti, and God's authority, in case they mean punishment by God. A Gnani says the scriptures for children, but wise seekers will think rationally.

In Brahma Sutras Sage Sankara takes for granted, and assumes that a world was created: He there mixes dogmatic theology with philosophy.

That God created the world is an absolute lie, nevertheless one will find Sage  Sankara (in his commentary on Vedanta Sutras) clearly says this! He has to adapt his teachings to his audience, reserving the highest for philosophical minds.

The text of Brahma Sutras is based on religion and dogmatism, but in the commentary Sage Sankara cleverly introduced some philosophy. If it is objected that a number of Upanishads are equally dogmatic because they also begin by assuming Brahman, only a few Upanishads do not but prove Brahman at the end of a train of proof.

Scholars' translation of Brahma Sutras in Sacred Books of East must be read cautiously as he has not understood its highest sense, e.g. for Advaita, they wrongly put "Unity" instead of “Non-duality.

"

Sage Sankara gave religion and scholasticism and yoga no less than philosophy, to the seeking world. He was great enough to be able to do so. His commentary on Manduka is pure philosophy, but many of his other books are presented from a religious standpoint to help those who cannot rise up to philosophy.

Remember: ~

All the orthodox ideas were rejected by Sage Sankara. There is no need to indulge in rituals, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. There is no need to study philosophy, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman then why do you indulge in studying philosophy.

Sage Sankara pokes fun at ascetics and points out that all their austerities do not cause desires to go (Altar Flowers" Page 205, v.2 P.207 v.4)

Sage Sankara pointed out that those rituals could in no way bring about wisdom, much less moksha.

Sage Sankara says the rewards of the rituals are not a matter of direct realization. Advaitic wisdom is based on personal realization.

The orthodox Advaitin believes that rituals alone would lead one to higher levels of attainment. Further, the deities would reward only those entitled to perform the rituals alone. The entitlement involved caste, creed, and other parameters.

The scriptural authority and value of rituals are part of the Advaitic orthodoxy, which is meant for ignorant people.

The Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is nothing to do with religion, caste, rituals, worship, yoga, and other practices. Therefore an obvious disparity between Sage Sankara‘s path of Gnana and the path of Karma. The path of Gnana is meant for the advanced seeker of truth and the path of Karma is meant for the ignorant populace.

Even Sage Sankara appear and tell the orthodox people the path of orthodoxy is the path of ignorance, they will not be able to drop their inherited samskara or conditioning, which they think is the only way to reach heaven and reap happy life in the next life.

As regards the rituals, Sage Sankara says, the person who performs rituals and aspires for rewards will view himself in terms of the caste into which he is born, his age, the stage of his life, and his standing in society, etc. In addition, he is required to perform rituals all through his life. However, the Self has none of those attributes or tags. Hence, the person who superimposes all those attributes on the changeless, eternal Self and identifies the ‘Self’ with the body is confusing one for the other; and is, therefore, an ignorant person. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are therefore addressed to an ignorant person.- (11- Adhyasa Bhashya)

The orthodox people only teach and preach their knowledge of ignorance but none of them wants to know the God in Truth, which is hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Remember: ~

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10) - Ignorant fools, regarding sacrifices and humanitarian works as the highest, do not know any higher good. Having enjoyed their reward on the heights of heaven, gained by good works, they still remain in ignorance of the Atman the real God.

As a person, one performs rituals throughout his life. The person who performs rituals and aspires for rewards will view the world in which he exists as a reality. However, the Soul, the Self unborn eternal hidden by the world in which he exists. From the standpoint of the Soul, the world in which he exists is merely an illusion.

The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are therefore addressed to an ignorant person.

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (9) ~ Children, immersed in ignorance in various ways, flatter themselves, saying: We have accomplished life's purpose. Because these performers of karma do not know the Truth owing to their attachment, they fall from heaven, misery-stricken, when the fruit of their work is exhausted.

First Mundaka - Chapter 2 (8) ~ Fools, dwelling in darkness, but wise in their own conceit and puffed up with vain scholarship, wander about, being afflicted by many ills, like blind men led by the blind.

Ish Upanishad says:~ Those people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide.- 10/11/12

The religious orthodox people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide, as it were, are doomed to enter those worlds after death.

This is a condemnation of people who do not try to attain Self-knowledge. They are, in a real sense, committing suicide, for what can be worse than being a slave to sense enjoyment, completely oblivious of the real purpose of life, which is to be one’s, own master?

Sage Sankara says “he who knows the Brahman (God) is one and the ‘Self’ is another, does not know Brahman (God).”

Sage Sankara also asserts that the Self is realized when All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of Self- knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

Sage Sankara’s Gnanic path can help the seekers draw and prepare them for the journey to the reality hidden by the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Remember:~

Sage Sankara says rituals and rites such as yajna or fire rituals are meant for the ignorant populace. Sage Sankara asserts that will not prepare the mindset for the journey to Self-knowledge.

Moral, ethics, love compassion, code of conduct, celibacy, karma, sin, temple worship, ancestor worship, heaven, an nd hell are concerned with the one which is born, lives, and dies in the world.

Moral, ethics, love compassion, code of conduct, celibacy, karma, sin, temple worship, ancestor worship, heaven, and hell have nothing to with the Soul, the Self because it is unborn and eternal. It is unborn eternal because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Religion and yoga prevent seekers from attaining Self- knowledge.

According to Sage Sankara Atman, the unchanging entity itself is the ultimate reality or Brahman. Atman alone is real, while the universe is unreal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Gnani and Illusion or Maya.+

Deeper Self-search reveals the fact that the Self is not physical but it is formless Spirit. Therefore, it is erroneous to view and judge the truth from the physical point of view, because the Self exists prior to physical existence.  Therefore, it is necessary to view and judge the truth from the standpoint of the base of the spirit, which is the true Self.

'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast seeing that the lion is only an illusion?'

'Oh, king,' said Gnani in the course of his flight, 'my running too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.’

Similarly, whatever takes place in this world, in which you exist, is an illusion. The Avatar is a religious fable.  God is not an individual. Avatar belongs to the domain of form, time, and space whereas God is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.   

The world in which you exist is created out of God and God is present in the form of consciousness. Thus everything is created out of God, thus all animate and inanimate things of the world are nothing but God.  It is foolish to say only some human being as an Avatar the whole illusory creation is an Avatar of God.

Without consciousness, there is no Righteousness, no peace, and no love. Realizing the consciousness as the ultimate truth is truth realization.

Righteousness, peace, and love to divinity are necessary in practical life within the practical world, but they are not a qualification for truth realization.
