The word “Advaita” is one without the second. Advaita essentially refers to the Atman, the whole existence. Advaita is the fullness of consciousness without the division of form, time, and space. 

Theology is nothing to do with Spirituality. Advaita is pure spirituality. The theological Advaita is nothing to do with the Advaitic wisdom, which is based on the Spirit the Atman. 

Theological Advaita is conceptual having its own doctrine is nothing to do with the Gnanic Advaita because Gnanic Advaita is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Both approaches are not workable together because the theological Advaita is based on the birth entity (ego) Gnanic Advaita is based on the Atman (Soul). 

Thus, the theological Advaita has to be discarded without mercy to get Advaitic Gnana. 

“Advaita” is a term used variously to express the unity of reality. Advaita is unity in diversity. 

The seeker has to begin by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?, to establish in Advaitic reality by sheer reasoning alone. 

The reasoning is the right way to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space. People must first know what is the truth? and what is untruth’. 

Sage Sankara’s wisdom is not a teaching or philosophy but Advaita is the universal wisdom. Advaitic wisdom is neither a teaching nor a theory but it is merely guidance to those who are seriously seeking the ultimate truth or Brahman. Grasp the ultimate truth anytime, any age, if the seeker has the spiritual maturity and capacity to grasp it. 

Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the not-Self. 

Advaita is the treasure hidden by the Dvaita. Advaita is the Soul, the Self, and the Dvaita is the ‘I’. Advaita is present in the form of consciousness. Dvaita is present in the form of the universe.

Sage Sankara says:~   A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.

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

When you finally realize the ‘‘Self’ ‘is not you but the ‘‘Self’’ is the Soul then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara says :~VC-47 -All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-self.

Remember: ~ All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, consciousness still remains without form, time and space.

Remember:~

It really depends on his inborn natural capacity to understand and assimilate it. Sage Sri, Sankara’s wisdom is a Self-examiner, to test oneself to discover how near to Gnana he has approached and what progress has already been made on the path and what still remains to be done. It sets up a criterion for Self-judgement. 

There are millions in search of truth but one in million will be able to grasp it.

Everything is one, that is, unity in diversity. Curiosity, the urge cannot be imposed on others. It has to sprout within. One need not become the Guru because the Guru is within to guide every seeker.

If one is aiming to be a master, Guru or teacher, he will never reach his destination. One has to share his knowledge with the fellow seeker not to make them his followers, but only direct them if they are interested in traveling beyond the form, time and space. 

It is foolish to impose our idea on others because everyone is not on the same level of understanding.

Everyone's inner work is on. When they are ripe enough, they will understand, assimilate and realize on their own. If they are ready and sharp enough, they will grasp it instantly and they will reach their destination with lesser time and effort. 

Thus, preaching and teaching is not wisdom, but by very careful reasoning, the seeker has to determine the nature of reality. 

Thinking in the right direction alone helps the seeker determining the nature of reality. :~Santthosh Kumaar
