Sage Sankara declared Advaitic truth 1200 years back, but it was hidden, and a chosen few will be able to find the hidden treasure.
Sage Sankara's Advaitic wisdom is the fairest flower of wisdom that any country in any age has produced.
Sage Sankara says:~ Advaitc Gnana is common to all religions. There is nothing like One Gnana for a Hindu and another for a Christian.
Sage Sankara is one of the greatest geniuses of all time. This world owes him a deep debt of gratitude.
The Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara is pure Spirituality or Adyathma. Advaitic wisdom is nothing to do with religion, sect, caste, religious God, rituals, yoga philosophy, or theories.
Sage Sankara: ~ 'Like a servant who carries a lamp in front of you to find your way, and you have found it, so becomes the Veda to that person. What is the Veda? ~ utterances of those who have known the Truth. Here is one who has known the Truth; why should he or she depend upon the Veda further? Actual realization takes you beyond books. At a certain stage, books become a botheration. The Upanishad itself says that the 'words are only so much of distraction for such minds'
Advaitic wisdom cannot be forced on anyone. Without an intense urge to realize the truth hidden by the ‘I’ it is very difficult to understand and assimilate Advaitic wisdom.
Swami Vivekananda: ~Jnana Yoga is divided into three parts. First is hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya. Second: reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.
As per the scriptures, the three "Ashrams" or stages in life were originally intended for three grades of intelligence thus:~
Religion: low intellects had to do 'karmas' works, ritual actions, chanting of mantras and indulging in bhajans and prayers, etc.
Middle intellects: Yoga: taking yellow robes, going to mountains, ashrams, etc.
High intellects: wisdom who wanted the truth is concerned with no external rites, no prayers or sanyasa but depend solely on the Soulcentric reasoning for their path.
Thus, the seeker has to choose his path according to his choice. Without an intense urge to know the truth and sharpness to grasp the truth, it is difficult to tread the path of wisdom Never mix different paths with each other, and make cocktails because it leads to all sorts of doubts and confusion.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified.
The seeker of truth should be aware of everything that is untrue: stick to the truth, and he shall succeed, maybe slowly, but surely. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
