Orthodox people are more enslaved than others because they live in ‘Self’-imposed prison.+

Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is pure spirituality or Adyathma do not make it a philosophic sect. Sage Sankara’s path of wisdom is the independent search for truth.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom deals with the practical bearing of philosophy to remove initial prejudice that it is remote from life.

Some scriptures have presented fragments of truth imbedded in the covering of stories, histories, and picturesque touches of mysticism.

The seeker should not mix religion, mysticism, and yoga with the path of wisdom. All the Gurus of the east and west touch on mysticism to make it more attractive to feed the crowd.

It is necessary to reach larger numbers of serious seekers who care for truth alone.

Philosophy has to deal with the ultimate truth, not mere words, not this Guru's or that Guru's interpretation.

The key to it is, for a  Gnani to be "ever the same." This means he sees and knows only one thing, the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of Consciousness

All the interpretation of different scriptural scholars is an arena of conflicting interpretations.

All the gurus of the east and west interpret Advaita from a dualistic standpoint or orthodox point of view and they are still dealing with words, not truth.  It proves that they have not understood the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

Remember:~

The orthodox Advaitic path is the path of ignorance and it is meant for the ignorant crowd.

Orthodoxy is the home of mysticism and deification that is why they are not the keen rational truth.

Orthodoxy has to be discarded if you want Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom. The orthodox Advaitic path is based on ignorance. The buried wisdom has to be discovered by the seeker himself.

It takes time for the seeker to gain a perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth and ‘what is untruth’.

Orthodox people are more enslaved than others because they live in ‘Self’-imposed prison. A householder may have a little freedom, but the Gurus, Yogis Saints are more stuck with their own idea of truth than others.

Orthodox people are just blind followers of tradition. They cannot move freely, they cannot sit freely, they cannot live freely.

Many people pretend they are ‘Self’-realized just by being orthodox one cannot get Gnana. Yogi practices Samadhi he will not get rid of the ignorance. Everyone has their own idea of Gnana.

The most important thing is that neither society nor politics nor any religion has anything to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. Self–Knowledge helps the seeker transcend emotion, transcending form, time, and space. Perhaps this is why the Atmic path, has not had much impact.

The path of wisdom is the inner (mental) journey. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and wisdom are one and the same thing. Without an intense urge, it is difficult to tread this path. Self-realization is not an experience because the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, the  ‘Self’ cannot be experienced because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is prior to any experience. The experience is possible only in dualistic illusion. The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion. The consciousness is the cause of the dualistic illusion and it itself is uncaused. The consciousness is the only real thing within the dualistic illusion. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Advaitic truth is not for synthesis – it is an uncontradictable truth and it is the ultimate truth. The Advaitic truth is just as it is, without any artifice or coloring.

A Gnani is not concerned about the listener, he does not care whether his listener will understand or not. The pure expression of truth comes from the source of his existence.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’: ~

There is nothing to accept,

Nothing to reject,

Nothing to hold on to,

Nothing to let go of,

Nothing to grasp,

Nothing to spurn,

Nothing to embrace,

Nothing to relinquish,

Nothing to dissolve

Because the Soul is free from the illusory form, time, and space. Only within the dualistic illusion, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is caught up in the illusory experience of the form, time, and space.

This is the truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
