The goal of the truth-seeker is to acquire Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is inherent in every seeker of truth.
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 beyond form, time, and space. I respect everyone's views and wisdom.
Some people expect me to comment on their individual views and opinion and experiences. I do not want to mix others' views opinions and experiences, which is of no use in the Atmic path. I share only what reveals to me from the inner core.
Self-knowledge
will not arise from the exchange of views and opinions and arguments. The
accumulated knowledge is not a yardstick, to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space.
In the path of wisdom discussion of unimportant
subject matter and creates a hindrance. The path of truth is the path of
verification. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification.
Agreeing to disagree causes unnecessary friction.
Sharing
is giving info for the sake of goodness. As with all things, achieving a
balance of peaceful communications is established with respect, humility,
understanding, and patience. Balancing an achievement is harder.
The seeker has to stop passing unimportant
opinions in this Atmic path. Atmic path is not the path of discussion, but the
path of realization of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
There is only one Reality to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by the religion. Self-discovery is the only way, towards non-dual Absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusion in which we all are searching for the truth of our true existence.
That is why Sage
Sankara says: ~ VC 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by good work, nor by
learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation
possible, and by no other means.
58. Loud speech consisting of a shower of words, the skill in
expounding the Scriptures, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a
little personal enjoyment to the scholar but are no good for Liberation.
59. The study of the Scriptures is useless so long as the highest
Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already
been known.
60. The Scriptures consisting of many words are a dense forest
that merely causes the mind to ramble. Hence men of wisdom should earnestly
set about knowing the true nature of the Self.
61. For one who has been
bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman.
Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?
62. A disease does not leave off if one simply utters the name of
the medicine, without taking it; (similarly) without direct realization one
cannot be liberated by the mere utterance of the word Brahman.
63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without
knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere
utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.
64. Without killing one’s enemies, and possessing oneself of the
splendor of the entire surrounding region, one cannot claim to be an emperor
by merely saying, ‘I am an emperor’.
65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction)
competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things
lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely)
called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya
and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman,
followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted
arguments.
66. Therefore the wise should, as in the case of disease and the
like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the
bondage of repeated births and deaths.
Then there is no need for the
scriptures, religion, and idea of God. One
has to be more rational to realize the Advaitic truth, which is ultimate truth
or scientific truth.
Please use language without the
words to maintain the decorum of this forum which helps other seekers to
acquire self-knowledge peacefully move towards their destination beyond the
form, time, and space. :~Santthosh Kumaar
