My posts help the seeker to think from every angle. Until one thinks deeper on his own, the inner revelation will not start. Once the inner revelation starts, then there is no need for intellectual spoon-feeding.
My posts are mere signposts to know what is truth and what is untruth, how and why.
By reading my posts and reflecting constantly, the subconscious will have its own yardstick, which helps to realize what to accept and what to reject.
When it rejects the reality of the waking experience, then one enters into Self-awareness in the midst of the waking experience or universe or illusion.
That is why Swami Vivekananda said: - “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, and none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
Sage Sankara: ~ VC-63- "Without knowing and examining the universe, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists won't go. It can go only be achieved by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.
If the inquiry does not include the universe, then it is incomplete.
The journey is incomplete, and he has to pound still deeper in his self-search. Thus, the seeker has to do his own homework until he reaches the inner core of existence.
The Soul, the Self, is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is without beginning, without end, and without variety.
Unless one drops all his accumulated knowledge, it is impossible to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the illusory universe or Maya.
The seeker has to think deeply instead of passing the opinion on his own point of view and he has to drop the judgmental attitude, which blocks the realization of the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.
The truth is not custom-made stuff to please a different mindset.
What is the use of arguing on the base of the birth entity, which is not the Self?
What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the Self is unborn eternal?
What is the use of thinking of heaven and hell when the ‘Self ‘is not an individual, and it is never born and it never dies?
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.
Intellectual discussion is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth because intellectual knowledge is egocentric knowledge, which is limited to the domain of form, time, and space.
The individual self is not real, is not accepted by many. The non dual wisdom is based not on the individual self [ego]. Until people hold the ‘I’ [ego] as witness, they will not reach the ultimate understanding.
When Upanishad itself declares:- sarvam khalvidam brahma - all this (universe) is verily Brahman. By following back all of the relative appearances in the world, we eventually return to that from which it is all manifest – the non-dual reality [ Chandogya Upanishad].
Then it is no use going roundabout way, trace the Brahman which is the formless substance and witness of the universe, which is in the form of mind.
By tracing the source of the mind or the universe one will be able to realize the Brahman.
The true Self is not perceptible to the senses. It is perceived by Reason. It is not perceptible as a thing with form and attributes.
To those whose attention is fixed on the body and the world, it is very difficult to attain Self-knowledge:~Santthosh Kumaar
