First, know what is this mind. The mind is not within the body. The form, time, and space together is the mind. Without form, time, and space, the mind ceases to exist.
Without form, time, and space, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. Without the world in which you exist, the waking ceases to exist. Without waking, the ‘I’ ceases to exist.
Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is very much necessary to unfold the mystery of the ‘I’.
Consciousness alone is real and eternal; all else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
The person who bases on birth, life, death and the world is trying to find the meaning of life. There is no meaning or purpose of life because life is merely happening within the dualistic illusion (world).
Yoga Vasistha says:~ Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only through inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not based on any teaching or teacher.
The Pursuit of truth is the pursuit of verification, not the pursuit of an argument. Intellectual discussion is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth.
All my postings and blogs are verified truth derived from a deeper self-search.
If one goes on reading, all his doubts and confusion will start clearing. It takes time to become receptive to receive Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is Soulcentric knowledge whereas all accumulated knowledge is egocentric.
All accumulated knowledge is of no use in the path of wisdom. Without realizing “What is the truth it is impossible to realize “What is untruth?”
Without realizing what is truth and what is untruth, it is impossible to assimilate the Self–Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seeker must know with full and firm conviction what truth is.
That is why Buddha said: ~ Believe nothing because a wise man said it, Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you, yourself judge to be true
Advaitic Wisdom consists of knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness.
The freedom (ultimate truth) is always there, yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the invisible Soul, the Self is quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Ashtavakra: ~ Diamonds are not many; only pebbles and rocks are so common. A single diamond is enough.
Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.
What is the use of arguing on the basis of the birth entity, which is not the Self?’ The truth is based on the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, which is birthless and deathless because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The Advaitic truth is not custom-made stuff to please the individual according to their taste and fancy.
The seeker must read the post and blogs umpteen times to know the subject.
It is foolish to argue, holding their own accumulated knowledge as a yardstick and trying to exhibit their accumulated intellectual wealth.
One must move on his chosen path, which pleases and satisfies them. The Atmic path is not the path of argument or exchange of views and opinions.
All the posts and blogs are only signposts, which help the seeker to remove all the obstructions and realize the truth in lesser time and effort.
As the truth is hidden within the dualistic illusion and requires excavation, the removal of the obstruction, it requires sharpness to grasp, but never comes by arguing or provoking. The transparent Truth of the ‘Self’ is hidden by the dualistic illusion.
Sages of truth declare ~ Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.
The seeker should personally strive by using the power of Soulcentric reason to be free from the bondage of the dualistic illusion.
The seeker of truth should be aware of everything that is untrue: stick to the truth, and he shall succeed, maybe slowly, but surely. :
Discard all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
