Gurus and yogis say: in the scriptures -"Brahman = I".+

Instead of finding fault and maligning others first realize what the Self is in actuality. Amazingly an honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with " you " and " your "own perceptions and attitudes.

If there is an error in understanding what 'Self' is in actuality it is in " you". Correcting this and changing to a soulcentric attitude will change your perception and then the Soul, the 'Self' will reveal its formless, timeless, and spaceless true nature.

Gurus and yogis say: in the scriptures -"Brahman = I".

Holding the Self as the ‘I’ is an error because the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’. If the scriptures indicate ‘I’ wasn’t there it means there is no ‘I’.

Thus, do not hold ‘I’ as the Self. They take the word ‘Self' for that.

The Self is not the ‘I’. ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The origin of the mind is the Soul. The mind is present in the form of the universe.

The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The root of the universe is consciousness.

Advaita only means the negation of duality. The duality is present in the form of the 'I'. Negating the 'I' is negating the duality.

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

Consciousness is the cause of the origin, maintenance, and withdrawal of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

The nature of the Soul is Advaita, which means that the consciousness transcends all conceptions, positive and negative. Nothing positive can ever be imagined or said about it.

The consciousness is existence absolute, awareness absolute. Existence absolute means that consciousness is not unreal or non-existent. And it is not unconsciousness. Nothing positive can be stated about consciousness.

In one of the Upanishads, the disciple says to the Master: "Lord, tell me the nature of Atman". The Teacher remains silent. Again the question is asked, and again the answer is silence. By his silence, the Teacher indicated that the nature of Atman is inexplicable, indescribable, and unimaginable.

The Soul, the Self is the One without a second. There is not the least shadow of multiplicity in the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness."

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is inexhaustible wealth. The other wealth disappears as one spends, but with Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the more one shares more he gains. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
