To realize the false nature of the ‘I’, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary.+

Only your intense urge to know the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth hidden by ignorance.  

It is impossible the seeker to discard the ‘I’ because they are stuck up with the idea that ‘I’ itself is the 'Self’.  

In the past, some famous Gurus and their teachings glorified the ‘I’ people take it as a final and accepted it as the ultimate truth. Such acceptance without verifying the fact about the ‘I’, their journey is incomplete.  

Blind acceptance and reverence for the guru will not help the seeker to get rid of ignorance. 

Firstly, doubt about this ‘I’, how it came into existence.   There are no other means to the final goal is the realization of the source of the ‘I’.  

There is a need to understand, assimilate and realize the false nature of this ‘I’, which appears and disappears.  

It is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the 'Self’, because ‘I’ represents form, time and space whereas the Soul, the Self is a formless, timeless and spaceless existence. 

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

To realize the false nature of the ‘I’, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary. 

The 'Self’ is not ‘I’, but the “Self’ is the Soul which is the witness of the ‘I’. Holding the Self as the ‘I’ leads to hallucination based on the imagination.

Those who are stuck with the ‘I’ based teaching never be able to cross the domain of the form, time and space.   

All the Gurus glorified the ‘I’. Thus, it becomes very difficult to discard the ‘I’. Those who have accepted the ‘I’ based teaching refuse to accept anything other than their accepted truth. Till you hold the Self as the ‘I’, your knowledge remains skin deep.

 

The world in which you exist came into existence because of the ‘I’. The world, in which you exist cease to exist without the ‘I’. 

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

The seeker begins his investigation by inquiring into the nature of the ‘I’. Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ will help the seeker to reach the Soul, which is the  Self.  

If the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
