You along with your words and thoughts and the world in which you exist are made of single clay. That single clay is Sprit or Consciousness.+

Instead of finding fault first realize what the Self is in actuality. Honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with “you” and “your "own perceptions and attitudes.

If there is an error in understanding what 'Self' is in actuality it is in “you". Correcting this and changing to a Soulcentric attitude will change your perception and then the Soul; the 'Self' will reveal its formless, timeless, and spaceless true nature.

If you are unable to grasp the truth hidden by the ‘I’ then you will never be able to grasp nonduality or Advaita.

By arguing and provoking the wisdom will not dawn. The argument is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the argument is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like injecting medicine into a corpse.

Manduka Upanishad has no assumptions whatsoever. It is an honest and bold inquiry into truth. It rises above scripture.

Manduka Upanishad: ~Reality and illusion together makes Brahman: nothing can be left out.

Manduka Upanishad: ~ Atman is the highest Reality.

Manduka Upanishad: ~Only a few will be able to understand and assimilate it.  

Manduka Upanishad is not meant for all, as it is based entirely on reasoning.

Remember: ~

Thinker, thoughts, and the world in which thinker exists is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is hidden by ignorance

You along with your words and thoughts and the world in which you exist are made of single clay. That single clay is Sprit or Consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

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

Do not accept any other truth other than consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, Nothing is real but consciousness. Nothing Matters but realize the ultimate truth. Consciousness is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious

Yajurveda – chapter- 32: ~   God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. 

Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

All the words, thoughts, and the world are nothing but consciousness. Without consciousness, you and your words and thoughts and the world in which you exist cease to exist.

From the ultimate standpoint, the words are meaningless because everything is nothing but consciousness.

The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual awareness. Meaning is attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the sticklers for particular words.

Remember: ~

The words are used only for communication purposes. The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions will determine the phenomenal world observed and experienced. Ignorant viewing the world confronting him sees it differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one of us interprets the world one sees in terms of his existing knowledge. A Gnani sees the world and its contents as the illusory play as consciousness whereas ignorant sees the world and its contents as a reality.

Without the realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman man remains ignorant of the ultimate truth or Brahman. Without the realization of the ultimate truth, the seeker remains as a seeker. On the physical plane, there is a seeker, seeking, and destination but from the ultimate standpoint, there is neither seer, seeking, and or destination.

The words may give different meanings at different levels of understanding. As one moves deeper and deeper one realizes the thought, the thinker, words, and the world are one in essence. Thus, in the realm of truth, the thought and words become meaningless.

When one has realized that which lies beyond form, time, and space do not give importance to thoughts and words which have value only in falsehood.

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like the consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion. 

Remember:~

People think the Soul or consciousness is different from awareness. It is the different words that are used for the same stuff. They make their own intellectual theory and get stuck with intellectual prison thinking what they know is the ultimate truth. without dropping their intellectual attitude, it is difficult for them to grasp the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

By becoming more and more intellectual, one becomes more and more intoxicated with individuality. The intellectuality is limited to the domain of form, time, and space. In the realm of the truth, intellectuality is replaced by Advaitic wisdom.

There is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of the Soul is awareness. The world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. Everything is one, that is, unity in diversity.

Remember:~

Some people pass their opinion based on their accumulated knowledge thinking their accumulated knowledge as the ultimate truth but their ‘I’ know attitude merely brings on a little personal enjoyment to them but it is no good for Self-realization.

The Atmic path is not a path of exchange of views and opinion but the path of realization of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

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.

Some people just want to exhibit their accumulated knowledge accumulated from here and there. They think what they know is the ultimate truth.

They think whatever they propagate is the ultimate truth. The question never occurs to them, “Is what I know is really the truth?

Mundaka Upanishad 1:2:8:~ “Remaining in the fold of ignorance and thinking “we are extremely wise and learned,” the fools with boastful nature ramble about like the blind led by the blind alone.”

No one can teach anybody. Wisdom is hidden within the world in which you exist. A Gnani can only show the way that much is the work of a Gnani.

A Gnani only guides the seekers to apply their own reason and realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. When the seeker learns to view and judge and reason the three states on the base of the Soul, the truth will start unfolding on its own.

First, the seeker may find it difficult to use soulcentric reason but gradually it will become easy.:~

Instead of finding fault first realize what the Self is in actuality. Honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with “you” and “your "own perceptions and attitudes. If there is an error in understanding what 'Self' is in actuality it is in “you". Correcting this and changing to a Soulcentric attitude will change your perception and then the Soul; the 'Self' will reveal its formless, timeless, and spaceless true nature.

If you are unable to grasp the truth hidden by the ‘I’ then you will never be able to grasp nonduality or Advaita. :~Santthosh Kumaar
