The seeker must have: ~
An intense urge to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space
Receptive to receive the truth
Sharpness to grasp the truth
Have the courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth
Patience
Humility
Non- argumentive
Ready to reflect the truth repeatedly
Drop all the accumulated knowledge
All the above things are very much necessary to tread the Atmic path. The Guru is needed only in religious and yogic paths. In the Atmic path, there is no need for the Guru. There is no need to stick to any Guru or any teaching.
The seeker of truth has to do his duty in practical life within the practical world. The seeker should not remain idlers like yogis who are no better than a wooden log.
Amid difficulties and busy life of practical life within the practical world, the seeker has to live and yet get on with the inner quest.
There is no alleviation of ignorance except the realization of the ultimate Truth or Brahman. Yoga may alleviate one's mental and physical stress.
The seeker of truth has to live in the world, and he must know the Self is not him because the Self is the invisible Soul, which is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The advaitic wisdom will not dawn by renouncing the worldly life and shutting yourself in a cave or Ashram or monastery. Too much yoga leads to insanity and fixed ideas or delusions.
The main purpose of analyzing the world that confronts us is to discover that it is to realize it is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
People fail to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman because they are stuck with the reality of the illusory world in which they exist.
Too much religion and false belief drugs the power of reason. To effect this discrimination, we need intelligence much sharper than the average. Weak minds cannot take a comprehensive view and so decry what they cannot understand.
When you realize you and your experience of the world are made of the single stuff and that single stuff is the consciousness with full and firm conviction then there unity in diversity in your understanding. There is no second thing exists other than consciousness.
It is ignorance that creates illusion, and it is the Soul, the Self, that gets free of it. Words may aggravate ignorance; words may also help dispel it. There is a need to repeat the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality.
The seeker has to reflect on the nondual nature of the invisible Soul constantly day after day until the conviction of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, becomes firm, and he gets the firm conviction.
The seeker needs to hear the words of wisdom until he realizes that form, time, and space are one in essence.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’.
It takes time for the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.
The invisible Soul has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and then only it is possible to realize the form, time and space are one in essence. That essence is the invisible Soul or consciousness.
If form, time, and space are one in essence, then there is no division in consciousness.
If there is no division in consciousness, then there is no duality, and if there is no duality, then there is unity in diversity.
Ignorance is the cause of experiencing duality as reality. Realizing the invisible Soul as the Self leads to Advaitic awareness. The invisible Soul, the Self, is Absolute Knowledge, which cannot be negated. The nature of the Soul is Advaitic awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
