Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom becomes very easy to grasp when one gains a soulcentric vision of the universe. 

If your intention is to preach or teach Advaita you will never be able to grasp the Advaitic truth.  Advaitic wisdom is continually shared with humanity without any expectation and helps humanity to wake up to reality.    The more you share more inner grace you gain.   

Swami Vivekananda says as below. Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified. (From 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda)

People dwelling in ignorance but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

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 Advaitic 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 a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of 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. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. 

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “Truly the dualism is the root of suffering. There is no other remedy for it than the realization that all this that we see is unreal and that the Soul, the innermost Self, is the one stainless reality, consisting of the consciousness”. 2:16

The sun, the moon, the stars, planets shine because of the Soul or Spirit. The Soul shines and all things else shine as a result. Everything in the universe reflects but that light of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. Merely knowing the truth is not enough to escape from the tangle of illusion.

The mind is in the form of the universe. From the standpoint of the Soul, the  Self the universe is merely an illusion.  The illusion arises from ignorance. Enlightenment comes with detachment from the illusion by realizing the experience of the form, time and space are one in essence.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The Self is pure awareness though through ignorance the ‘Self' has imagined itself to have additional attributes. By continually reflecting like this, the Self’s dwelling place is in the unimagined. 2:17

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “For the 'Self', there is neither bondage nor liberation. The illusion has lost its basis and ceased. Truly all this exists in me, though ultimately it does not even exist in the Self. 2:18

By saying I know the truth; I know Brahman is not wisdom. The Truth is found only in the Unity of understanding which is the knowledge of both the matter and the Spirit. That is the matter and the spirit, are one in essence.  And that essence the Spirit, is present in the form of the Soul or consciousness.

When one knows matter and spirit together, one has “Gnana or wisdom." One must have the humility to get to the very root of the matter.

Instead of discussing religion, religious Gods, and yoga, the seeker should dive into deeper self-search.

Deeper self-search will reveal that all fault lies because of holding the ‘I’ as the Self.  People refuse to accept other than their accepted truth because they have accepted some Gurus’ words or teachings as the ultimate truth.

These perceptions and attitudes block their realization of the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.  The seeker must be ready to correct wherever it is necessary accept the truth and drop the untruth.  

This and a change in their attitude will change their perception of seeing the world from the dualistic perspective to the nondualistic perspective and then the world, in which they exist will never remain as reality again. In the same way as a dream becomes unreal when waking takes place, the world,  in which they exist becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.  : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
