It is possible for the seeker of truth through the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara to attain the realization of the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.+

Sage Sankara was a non-dualist sage who was influential in developing the concept of the Atman as being equated with Brahman, which is the universal  Soul, which is present in the form of Spirit that permeates the entire universe. 

Since Brahman is not just universal but eternal and eternally unchanging, the Atman manifestations of the universe are illusory. 

It is possible for the seeker of truth through the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara to attain the realization of the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth. 

The word Self is a misnomer to indicate Athma. Athma is not you but the cause of the whole universe.

Athma is a Sanskrit word. The word Athma has no proper equivalent in English. English translators used the word 'Self' for Athma. Athma means existence. Athma is the ultimate reality or ultimate truth or Brahman.

All the Gurus of the East and West, however, apply the word Self to the individual. Sages apply it to the non-duality. Athma is Brahman. Brahman or the ultimate truth is called "That" because it is something not known yet by the seeker.

Brahman ~ “The word Brahman or Sat has no proper equivalent in English. The nearest is ultimate reality or ultimate truth.

From the non-dualistic perspective, the words are meaningless. The words are used within the illusory world to indicate the truth, which is hidden by ignorance.

The word Self is not the best word to express because people are attached to the word Self. After all, all the translators used the word Self. The Self really means not you but the Self means Athma in Adyathma or Spirituality.

Remember:~

Adyatma has nothing to do with religious sects or creeds and religious beliefs. Adyatma is pure spirituality. Knowledge of Atma 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 is Adyathma.

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

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

Remember:~

Sage Sankara means Advaita and Advaita mean Sage  Sankara. The Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is not theology. Theological Advaita is not Sage  Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom.  

According to Advaita Vedanta, the Veda addresses itself to two kinds of audiences:~ 

1, “The ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices”.

2, “The   advanced seekers who seek to know the ultimate truth or Brahman.”

Thus, the Purva mimam. sa, with its emphasis on the karma kanda of the Vedas, is meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, the Vedanta, with its emphasis on the jnana kanda, is meant for those who wish to go beyond form, time, and space.

Thus, those who are seeking truth have to discard the Theological Advaita without mercy to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Remember:~

A Gnani is a person who sees everything from the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self. Therefore, he is free from ignorance. He has transcended the dualistic illusion.

The truth of our true existence is not the dualistic truth based on form, time, and space.   We are searching for the truth, which is the cause of the universe in which we exist.

To unfold the truth of our individual existence, we have to unfold the truth of the whole universe.  

The truth of our true existence is not some theory. All theoretical philosophies are based on egocentric imagination thus they are not the truth.

Many masters of the East and West designed their own spiritual teaching in the name of Advaita is not the Soulcentric Advaita but Advaita based on egocentric imagination.  Such teaching instead of helping seekers leads them to hallucinations.  Once the seeker accepts these teachings then it is difficult for him to come out of this hallucinating Advaitic teaching, which is not of Sage Sankara’s line of thinking.

Sage Sankara means Advaita and Advaita mean Sage Sankara.  If the seeker is seeking truth nothing but the truth then he has to drop the baggage of theistic Advaita and different versions of Advaita created by Eastern and Western masters without mercy, to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Such teaching instead of helping the seeker blocks them from realizing the truth, hidden by the ‘I’.

Without realizing what is this ‘I’, supposed to be in actuality, it is impossible to unfold the truth of our true existence.   

Theistic Advaita is for the ignorant populace and has nothing to do with the Advaita, which is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Mixing this and that is not Advaitic wisdom.  The seeker has to stick to the truth and drop all that is untruth.  

By holding, the Atman as real and realizing all else is merely an illusion created out of Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness one will be able to establish in Atman the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.   

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is nothing but the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

Without realizing what is this ‘I’, supposed to be in actuality, it is impossible to unfold the truth of our true existence.:~    Santthosh Kumaar
