Sage Sankara says - VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book-knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.
People study Vedanta and they are under the delusion and conclude that they declare:~ "I-Am-Brahman", but they fail to realize the fact that Brahman is everywhere and in everything! The existence of Brahman is not limited to his physical identity because, it is the very essence of form, time, and space.
By following Vedanta does not mean that one has become Brahman. One gains thereby a mere intellectual understanding of the truth which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth can only be realized through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana can one cross the domain of the duality.
Even then it is only a rare one who sees the all-pervading Brahman (God in truth). He sees the Brahman within more clearly than you see the objects of this world with your physical eyes.
Brahman is to be grasped within and is not to be sought outside. When there is a real longing to be united with Brahman, then he realizes the truth beyond form, time, and space. And still, only a rare one realizes Brahman.
When the Soul remains in its own awareness then there is oneness in the midst of diversity. In Self -awareness the world in which we exist is merely an illusion. The Soul, the Self itself is God.
Realizing the Soul, the Self is Self-realization or truth realization, or God-realization. Self-awareness can never be achieved through an intellectual understanding of Advaita. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
