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
