In Atmic reality, the mind and its substance, and its source are one in essence.+

The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. The waking experience becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

The Advaitic wisdom dawns only when one investigates and realizes “What is the mind?” and “What is the substance of the mind” and what is the Source of the mind?

In Atmic reality, the mind, its substance, and its source are one in essence. That essence is the consciousness. The knowledge of this essence is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana does not consist in the mastery of scriptural knowledge or intellectual speculation or logical conclusions but in the realization of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

The Soul, the Self, is neither the waking entity (ego 0r you) nor the dream entity. Without this Self-Knowledge, it is futile to try to know the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Human knowledge of an object is clouded by the ignorance that shrouds the Soul, the innermost Self.

Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is a unifying force that brings unity in diversity. All egocentric knowledge is reduced to mere conjecture and, therefore, it is arbitrary. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the knowledge of our true existence, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Remember:~

With the sharp razor of the Advaitic wisdom, the seeker can easily overcome the ignorance of his true existence, which is free from the illusory experience of form, time, and space.

The pursuit of truth is for the purpose of Self-realization. Perfect understanding of ‘What is what’, leads to realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Self-knowledge has to be acquired by the direct realization of the ultimate truth. In the realm of the ultimate truth, the intellect which is based on the ego ceases to function. The seeker realizes that the Mind and the Soul are one in essence and that essence is consciousness.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness itself is the knower, known, and Knowledge.

By realizing consciousness as the ultimate truth or Brahman, the distinction between knowledge, the knower, and the known vanishes.

Inner urge to know the truth, sharpness to grasp, humility, receptiveness, and courage to drop all the egocentric accumulated knowledge, are requisite for the inner (mental) journey. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Atmic path is not meant for the religious and yogic mindset. +

According to sages of truth, the Atmic path is not meant for the religious and yogic mindset.

There is no need to convince anyone and waste time in perverted argument and provocation.

The seeker's aim is to think deeply reflect constantly to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space.

The ignorant who want to remain in ignorance is not qualified for the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The Atmic path is not for the religious and yogic minded people. Religious and yogic people must move on their chosen path. The Atmic path is for only seekers of truth who are seriously searching the truth of their own existence.

Sages of truth restrained themselves parting the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to the mass and only a selected few. It was hidden from the people who were not qualified and receptive to it.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few. Thus, religion was given to the mass and knowledge of the spirit is given only selected few. Thus we find traces of the knowledge of the Spirit in the religious books in the form of parables.

Katha Upanishad says: ~ This Atman is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals Its own form. (II -23-P-20)

Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)

The Soul, the 'Self' reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

Do not believe in a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe in a thing because wise man has said it was true.

Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by dualistic knowledge Find out the truth for yourself. Use Soulcentric reason, which leads to Self-realization, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Advaitic wisdom can never be gained by argument and provocation. Discard all the accumulated the dualistic knowledge by realizing the world in which you exist, exists because of ignorance.

Get rid of the ignorance by realizing the world in which you exist is created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. Realizing the ‘Self’’ is not you but the Soul is Self-realization.

The Soul is the cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.

Katha Upanishad says ~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch~ II-5 P-14)

Those who indulge in a perverse argument from their own standpoint and opinion are not seeking the truth, which is beyond form, time and space. They 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: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning because truth is not in the letters.+

The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning because truth is not in the letters.

When a man with his finger-tip points to something, the finger-tip may be mistaken for the thing pointed at; in like manner the ignorant, are unable even to the day of their death to abandon the idea that in the finger-tip of words, their is the meaning itself. They cannot realize ultimate reality because of their intent clinging to words that were intended to be no more than a pointing finger.

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.  

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. The 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 of consciousness whereas ignorant sees the world and its contents as a reality.

Without the realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman man remains as ignorant of the ultimate truth or Brahman. Without the realization of the ultimate truth, the seeker remains as a seeker.

On the physical plan, 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 who has realized that which lies beyond form, time and space does 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 stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Mundaka Upanishad:~ When Brahman shines, everything shines after Brahman; by Brahman's light, everything is lighted.+

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (9) - There the stainless and indivisible Brahman shines in the highest, golden sheath. It is pure; It is the Light of lights; It is That which they know who know the Self.

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (10) - The sun does not shine there, nor the moon and the stars, nor these lightnings, not to speak of this fire. When Brahman shines, everything shines after Brahman; by Brahman's light, everything is lighted.

Second Mundaka - Chapter 2 (11) - That immortal Brahman alone is before, that Brahman is behind, that Brahman is to the right and left. Brahman alone pervades everything above and below; this universe is that Supreme Brahman alone.

Remember:~

Until one thinks his body is a body, his ego is the ego, and his experience of the world as the world he will never be able to understand what I am saying.

One is still unaware that his body is not a body but it is consciousness, his ego is not ego but it is consciousness, and the world in which he exists is not the world but it is consciousness.

Just by reading my posts and blogs, one will not get a realization but one has to constantly reflect on it until he gets the firm conviction that, his body, ego, and the world in which he exists are one in essence.

Without getting a firm conviction of 'what is what', it is impossible to get self-realization.

Intellectual knowledge gives scope for perversity. Perversity is the greatest hindrance to Self-realization.

If anyone sincerely reads my blogs without mixing them with their inherited ideas and without judging the truth by holding 'I-centric' and 'you-centric' Gurus and their teaching as a yardstick will be able to grasp the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

For those whose subconscious is receptive after getting a firm conviction that, the Self is formless and form also is formless because the form is created out of formless material, then it becomes easy for them to understand, assimilate, and realize the non-dualistic truth.

The seeker has to do his homework sincerely think on his own and inquire on his own without outer spoon-feeding only the inner revelation will start and lead him to Self-awareness.

My blogs and posting are merely signposts and as the seeker goes deeper self-search he will realize ‘what is truth ‘and ‘what is untruth’.

It is for the seeker to verify all the facts said in the blogs and posts and find out whether whatever is said in my blogs is true or not. :~Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara Just as the fire is the direct cause for cooking, so without Self -Knowledge no emancipation can be had.+

Sage Sankara Just as the fire is the direct cause for cooking, so without Self -Knowledge no emancipation can be had.

Compared with all other forms of discipline Knowledge of the Self is the one direct means for liberation.

When the force of desire for the Truth blossoms, selfish desires wither away, just like darkness vanishes before the radiance of the light of dawn.

One should become aware of oneself, indivisible, and perfect; free from identification with all things transient, such as one’s body, functions, mind, and the sense of being the doer, for all these are the product of ignorance.

The Soul appears to be finite because of ignorance. When ignorance is destroyed the Self which does not admit of any multiplicity truly reveals itself by itself: like the Sun when the clouds pass away..

Remember:~

Controlling senses are religious and yogic body-based theory has nothing to do with the path of the wisdom, which is based on the Soul.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ The fool tries to control the mind with the mind - what folly! The wise one delights in the Self alone. There is no mind to master.

Yogis say they control the mind. They think the mind is an organ within the body. Thus, yoga is limited to form, time, and space, whereas the truth, is beyond form, time, and space. 

It is high time for them to realize the mind is not within the body, but their body and the world are within the mind.

Without knowing what is mind it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

The gross universe is merged into the mental universe in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who regard them as different or higher are deceiving themselves.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as the waking or the dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one that becomes dual and nondual is consciousness. 

Thus, all three states are nothing but consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and all the three states are merely an illusion. When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm, then it leads to Advaitic awareness in the midst of the duality.

Thus, it is necessary to have a perfect understanding of ‘what is ‘what’ to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

Swami Vivekananda: ~Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified.+

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified.

The Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. 

You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what.

Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think reason reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.

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

It takes time for the Soul, the Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Reading my posts and blogs repeatedly helps you to get a yardstick for the subconscious to judge ‘what is truth’ and ‘what is untruth’ and replace the truth in the place of the untruth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Getting sentimentally or emotionally involved with the Gurus and yogis and glorifying the Gurus blocks the realization of the ‘Self’.+

Getting sentimentally or emotionally involved with the Gurus and yogis and glorifying the Gurus blocks the realization of the ‘Self’.

The Atmic path or the path of wisdom is not the religious and yogic path. Guru is not required in the path of wisdom.

Getting sentimentally or emotionally involved with the Gurus and yogis and their teaching and glorifying the Gurus blocks the realization of the ‘Self’. Worshiping and glorifying the Gurus will keep you in the domain of form, time, and space.

The Guru who pretends to be Self-realized and plays with the emotions and sentiments of the seeker is a fraud, not a Gnani.

Katha Upanishad (1.2.5) says: ~ "Caught in the grip of ignorance, self-proclaimed experts consider themselves learned authorities. They wander about this world befooled like the blind leading the blind."

Only perfect understanding of 'what is what’ leads to truth realization. The truth-realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization.

If you are seeking truth nothing but the truth then you must not get stuck with any Guru or yogi. Those who are seeking truth need not follow any Guru or any teaching.

Yoga Vasistha says:~ Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only through inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.

There is no need to condemn Gurus, but there is a need to highlight how they become an obstacle to the realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”

The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.

Sage Gaudapada: ~ ‘To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)

A Guru is needed in the religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.:~Santthosh Kumaar

God exists as the ultimate truth or Brahman. Hence, in the path of wisdom do not use the word, God. It will be misunderstood.+

God exists as the ultimate truth or Brahman. Hence, in the path of wisdom do not use the word, God. It will be misunderstood. Thus, Brahman, which means the ultimate truth, is the right word to indicate the ultimate truth or the ultimate reality. 

Just for the communication to indicate the ultimate truth, the word God is used to indicate the God in truth, which is Atman, the Brahman.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. God in truth is present in the form of consciousness.

God in truth is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God in truth because God in truth is the very essence of the one who denies God in truth. God in truth is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

God in truth is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God in truth) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). God in truth is above all needs and desires. God in truth is always the Witnessing Subject. God in truth can never become an object as God in truth is beyond the reach of the senses. God in truth is non-dual, one without a second. God in truth has no other besides it. God in truth is destitute of difference, either external or internal. God in truth cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. God in truth cannot be distinguished from any other than God in truth. In God in truth, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Svarupa of God, and not just God in truth's attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.  

Remember:~

The world in which exists is an illusory play of consciousness. It is the ignorance that binds the Soul, the Self. It is the Soul that has to get rid of ignorance.

The Soul is eternally free, but it is caught up in the dualistic illusion due to ignorance.

When ignorance vanishes through Advaitic wisdom the Soul becomes free from experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality.

There is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, it is the Soul, the Self, which is in ignorance. It is the Soul, the Self that wants freedom from the dualistic illusion.

It is necessary to realize the ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul. you are bound by birth, life, death, and the world whereas the Soul is birthless and deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul, the Self has nothing to do with your birth, life, death, and the world because your experience of birth, life, death, and the world is part of the dualistic illusion.

So, you are the false entity within the dualistic illusion. Realizing the Soul as the ‘Self is Self-realization.:~Santthosh Kumaar

It really depends on people's inborn natural capacity to understand and assimilate Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom.+

With the sharp razor of the Advaitic wisdom, the seeker can easily overcome the ignorance of his true existence, which is free from the illusory experience of form, time, and space.

The pursuit of truth is for the purpose of Self-Realization. Perfect understanding of ‘What is what’, leads to realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Self-knowledge has to be acquired by the direct realization of the ultimate truth. In the realm of the ultimate truth, the intellect which is based on the ego ceases to function. The seeker realizes that the Mind and the Soul are one in essence and that essence is consciousness.

The Soul is the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness itself is the knower, known, and knowledge.

By realizing consciousness as the ultimate truth or Brahman, the distinction between knowledge, the knower, and the known vanishes.

Inner urge to know the truth, sharpness to grasp, humility, receptiveness, and courage to drop all the egocentric accumulated knowledge, are requisite for the inner (mental) journey.

Remember:~

The Soul, the Self, is God. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is Infinite. Consciousness is all-pervading. The world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness.

Sage Sankara’s wisdom is not teaching or philosophy but Advaita is the universal wisdom. Advaitic wisdom is neither a teaching nor a theory but it is mere guidance to those who are seriously seeking the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Grasping the ultimate truth anytime, at 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.

It really depends on people's inborn natural capacity to understand and assimilate Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified.  

Sage Sankara’s wisdom is a Self-examiner, to test oneself to discover how near to Gnana he has approached what progress has already been made on the path, and what still remains to be done. It sets up criteria for Self-judgement. There are millions in search of truth but one in a million will be able to grasp it.

Without Sage Sankara, there is no Advaita (nonduality). Since it was mixed up with orthodoxy there is a lot of confusion.

I am highlighting all the obstacles, which are blocking one from realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.

There are so many non-dualistic masters of the East and also from the West who expound Advaitic or non-dualistic knowledge but none of them are helpful to reach the ultimate end of the inner core of existence.

One has to know and realize that the Self is the Soul and identify it as his true identity to find liberation from the bondage of the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world(duality). The goal of our life is to find and realize our identity with our Soul, which is our Self.

If you are serious and sincerely seeking truth then that very serious sincerity will help you to realize what is truth and what is the untruth. Self-discovery leads to Atmic-awareness.

Upanishads: - Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go around and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)

The scripture's mastery, the force of religious merit--none of these leads to the realization of that ultimate truth or Brahman.

The ultimate truth is revealed in the clear understanding and realization of ‘what is truth and ‘what is untruth'.

When one realizes the untruth (universe) is created out of a single stuff, Self-awareness rises in the midst of duality exposing the unreal nature of the form, time, and space.

People think by studying Vedanta thoroughly, they are under the delusion and conclude that they have become Gnanis.

Becoming adept in Advaita Vedanta does not mean that one has become Gnani. One gains thereby a mere intellectual understanding of the truth. The truth is e beyond the intellect.

Sage Sankara said: -Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way.(1) VivekaChudamani v 56, pg 25

Fortunate seekers are the ones who do not lose themselves in the labyrinths of philosophy. conceptual divisions invented by the Advaitic Gurus of the East and the West by their excessive analysis. there is no end to concepts, they create more confusion.

The serious seeker is the one who does not lose himself in the labyrinths of philosophy but searches for the 'Self' independently and realizes it.

Among thousands of people, scarcely one strives for perfection; and of those who strive and succeed, scarcely one knows the ‘Self’ in truth. The truth is beyond form, time, and space. Come ye slow, or come ye fast; it is but the Soul that reveals ls itself at last.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

You are not separate from the ego because you are the ego.+

The ego, body, and the world are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self. The ego is the false self within the false experience (waking).

You are not the Self. You and your experience of the world are part of the illusion. The Self is not you. If the Self is not you, then the question of your body, your ego, your memories your experience of the world, and your karma is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self. 

The  Advaitic wisdom dawns only when you realize the Self is not you, but the Self is the   Soul, which witnesses you and the world together.

The body, the ego, and the world are made of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. In reality, there is no physical body, no ego, and no world, because there is no duality. 

There is only unity in diversity because the ego, body, and the world are one in essence.

Remember:~

You are not separate from the ego because you are the ego. Without the ego, you and the world in which you exist cease to exist. In the awareness of the ego, the world in which you exist is a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, your individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, form, time, and space prevail as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the dualistic illusion or Maya prevails as a reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the three states prevail as reality.

In the awareness of the ego, the ‘I’ prevails as a reality.

If ‘I’ prevails as reality the ignorance prevails as reality.

Self-knowledge or Advaitic wisdom is necessary to get rid of ignorance.

Without Self-awareness, the universe prevails as reality. Self-awareness means the conscious awareness of the Soul hidden by the ‘I’. In Self-awareness, the reality of the universe fades away.:~ Santthosh Kumaar 

The ignorant are not spiritually mature enough to receive Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+

The bee builds a hive and collects the honey, but the bee is unaware that the honey is enjoyed by many. Same way wisdom is enjoyed by many without the knowledge of the propagator, which is the Soul, the Self.

A Gnani silently works to clear the ignorance of others through wisdom he knows that wisdom enters the core of existence (Soul).

The path of wisdom attracts only those who are in search of truth and they appreciate it greatly.

The ignorant are not spiritually mature enough to receive Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

All biblical insights lead to nondual Self-awareness. Self-awareness is Christ'-consciousness. Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana in the biblical sense is God in truth. The truth was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.

John 8:32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Jesus said:- "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (The Gospel of Thomas- Saying 5)

It means one has to know the world that confronts him to realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is Spirit [father].

Even Sage Sankara says:~ one must first know what is before him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.

VC- 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.[

Sage Sankara says:~ VC-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.

Jesus said:-"Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find it, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)

The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, Not in a mansion of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and God is there, Lift a stone and you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)

1. According to the New Testament, Jesus said to his disciples: ‘To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand’ (Luke, 8:10). While speaking to the multitude in a veiled manner, ‘privately to his own disciples he explained everything’ (Mark, 4:34), and advised them not to ‘throw your pearls before swine’ (Matthew, 7:6).
