Sage Sankara page 482: On Gnani:~ "The knower of Brahman wears no signs. Gives up the insignia of a monk's life…his signs are not manifest, nor his behavior."
When the knower of Brahman (Gnani) wears no signs it means he does not identify himself as a Guru or a Yogi or teacher or Swami.
If someone has acquired Self-knowledge and shares his acquired knowledge with others, they cannot say that there is nothing for them to do. Everyone has to discover a fresh for himself by verifying all the facts. Each one has to grasp assimilate and realize it until he gets a firm conviction of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The mind appears due to ignorance. Without ignorance, the mind (I) ceases to exist. Thus, the mind is in the form of the universe and appears as a waking or dream. The waking or dream is a state of duality or ignorance. Thus seeker has to hold wherever there is duality there is ignorance.
If duality is considered as reality then the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is considered as reality.
If the experience of birth, life, death, and the world are considered as a reality then the form, time, and space become a reality.
If form, time, and space become reality as reality, then there is diversity in unity.
To bring back the unity in diversity, one has to put the ego into reverse gear until he reaches the ultimate end or source from where the mind rises and subsides. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
