Advaita is not a philosophy. Advaita is the nature of the Athma, the Self.+

My mission is concerned only with helping the seeker to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

Atmic path is not a question and answers session. Atmic path is not the path to exchange views and opinions.

I have bifurcated what is not needed to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

The true seeker with all the humility must use language without the words and try to discriminate between real and unreal to realize the truth hidden by the ‘I’ (universe).

Everyone has not got the capacity to know Truth very few have: but some among these few are so sharp that they have only to hear it explained by proper guidance when they grasp it at once. They have only to stabilize their illumination.

You, yourself must do the work of realizing Self by using your own judgment and reason. Nobody else, no guru can do it for you

The seeker's aim is the search for the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.   The ultimate truth is the non-dualistic truth that in actuality never was lost, only hidden by ignorance.

Upanishad aspiration is best expressed in the following sutra:-

OM Asato ma sad gaMaya , tamaso ma jyotir gaMaya , mrityor ma aamritaam gaMaya . Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

"OM Lead me from ignorance to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality. Peace, Peace, Peace" (Brhadaranyaka Upanishad (1/3/28)).

First, one should not hold a God based on blind belief as a center of existence without knowing what God su[[pne to be in truth. Both the theist and atheist are theories are nothing to do with ultimate truth or Brahman.  

Advaita is not a philosophy. Advaita is the nature of the Athma, the Self.

There is no need to study any philosophy to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

All the philosophy and all the teachings on nonduality are based on the dualistic perspective. Such teachings are mere imaginary nonduality from a dualistic perspective.

Whatever is based on Atman belongs to Sanatana Dharma, which is based on Vedas.   

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

That is why Sage Sankara said: ~Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

Adyatma is nothing to do with religious sects or creeds and religious beliefs or any philosophy or scriptures or thinkers teaching. Adyatma is pure spirituality. Knowledge of Athma is Adyatma. Advaita is Adyatma. 

Adyatma is the knowledge of the truth beyond form, time, and space. Bifurcate religion, yoga, and theoretical philosophy and base the truth on the Athma it is Adyathma.

Adyatma is based on the ultimate truth which is based on the Athma or Spirit, which is the Self.

Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality or Adyathma.

There is no need to study Advaita Vedanta or Buddhism to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. All accumulated knowledge is of no use to realize the Advaitic truth, which is hidden by ignorance.

There is no need to study or discuss Advaita Vedanta to realize the Advaitic truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. 

Advaita is not a theory or a philosophy. Advaita is the nondual nature of the Soul, the Self. There is no need for any theory or philosophy or scriptures to acquire Self-knowledge. Only a perfect understanding of ‘what is what'’ is needed.

A donkey with a load of holy books is still a donkey. A person who mastered scriptural knowledge is still a scholar, not a Gnani.

Sage Sankara also said the study of Upanishad was neither indispensable nor a necessary prerequisite for attaining the human goal, the moksha.

Astavakra: ~ “My child you may speak upon various scriptures or hear the sermons on the scriptures. But you cannot establish in the ‘Self’ unless you forget all. 16-1 – p 49

Astavakra: ~There is no wisdom whatsoever in this. Mere words -- just a collection of words. Is wisdom found in scriptures? Wisdom is within oneself. Is truth found in words? The Truth is within oneself."

Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?"

Sage Sankara strongly advocated the study of Upanishads, and at the same time cautioned that the study of Upanishad alone would not lead to moksha. In matters such as spiritual attainment, one’s own realization was the sole authority and it cannot be disputed.

Sage Sankara pointed out; even those who were outside the Upanishad fold were as eligible to moksha as those within the fold were. He declared that all beings are Brahman, and therefore the question of discrimination did not arise. All that one was required to do was to get rid of ignorance (Avidya or duality).

There is no need to buy books of Sage Sankara or Sanatana Dharma in order to acquire Self-knowledge. Perfect understanding of what is what' is needed. Nothing else is a need other than realizing the fact that, the form, time, and space are one in essence and that essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness in order to get the Advaitic Self-awareness.

Self-knowledge cannot be attained by the study of the scriptures or bookish Knowledge and intellectual understanding or by bookish knowledge. Therefore, there is no use in studying the scriptures and other scriptures in order to acquire non-dual wisdom. That is why Buddha rejected the scriptures, and even Sage Sankara indicated that the ultimate truth lies beyond religion, the concept of God, and the scriptures.  

Remember:~

Sage Sankara says: ~ Atman is Brahman. The Atman alone is real is not religious truth. 

Sage Sankara declared this Advaitic truth, which is the ultimate truth to the whole world, many centuries back is rational truth, scientific truth, and ultimate truth.

Thus, the Atman which is present in the form of consciousness is real and eternal, the world in which we exist is merely an illusion.  

People do not want to work persevering for the truth beyond form, time, and space. They expect enlightenment instantly. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana cannot be acquired so easily. Most people lack the patience and perseverance in investigating the truth, beyond the form, time, and space.

People assume Guru are Godmen are great because other people say so, or that he is wise because he himself says so, or that what he teaches is true because it attracts them. Such an attitude and easy assumptions become obstacles to folding the truth and it requires some trouble to put into effect.

The Gurudom may succeed to a limited extent in the West by appealing to the emotions of western people by creating a new cult with diverse theories of Hinduism.   The ultimate truth is beyond religion, yoga, and scriptures.

Remember:~

There is no need to follow anyone. There is no need to practice anything but perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ leads to realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The Soul the ’Self’ reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready or God in truth.

Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to study the Scriptures, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

~ then why do you indulge in studying the scriptures.

Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to study philosophy, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

~then why do you indulge in studying philosophy.

Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to indulge rituals, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~then why do you indulge in rituals.

Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to indulge in yoga, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

~then why do you indulge in yoga.

Sage Sankara says:~ the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)

~ then why you are sticking a Guru who is not a Gnani.

Sage Sankara says ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation.

~then why you are indulging in other types of meditation.

Those who tell you that Brahman is unity, that you can get it only by intuition, that you should not reason, you should not question or inquire, are deluding you. Verification must come by thought. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
