Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes.”+

Only your intense urge to know the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

It is impossible for the seeker to discard the ‘I’ because they are stuck up with the idea that ‘I’ itself is the Self.

In the past, some famous Gurus and their teachings glorified the ‘I’ people take it as a final and accepted it as the ultimate truth. Such acceptance without verifying the fact about the ‘I’, their journey is incomplete.

Blind acceptance and reverence to the guru will not help the seeker to get rid of ignorance.

Firstly, doubt about this ‘I’, how it came into existence. There are no other means to the final goal, which is the realization of the source of the ‘I’.

There is a need to understand, assimilate, and realize the nature of this ‘I’, which appears and disappears.

It is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time, and space whereas the Soul, the Self is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes.” (2.18)

To understand the false nature of the ‘I’, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary.

The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul, which is the witness of the ‘I’.

By holding the’ Self’ ‘I' leads to hallucination based on the imagination.

Those who are stuck with the ‘I’ based teaching will never be able to cross the domain of form, time, and space.

All the Gurus glorified the ‘I’. Thus, it becomes very difficult to discard the ‘I’.

Those who have accepted the ‘I-centric’ teaching refuse to accept anything other than their accepted truth.

Till you hold the ‘Self’ as the ‘I’, your knowledge remains skin deep.

The world in which you exist came into existence because of the ‘I’. The world in which you exist ceases to exist without the ‘I’.

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 human thought”.

The ‘I’ is where the seeker begins his investigation. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ will help the seeker to reach the Soul, which is the Self.

Sage Sankara: ~VC~ if the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.

Firstly, doubt about this ‘I’, how it came into existence. There are no other means to the final goal, which is the realization of the source of the ‘I’.

There is a need to understand, assimilate, and realize the nature of this ‘I’, which appears and disappears. space.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ The universe rises from the Soul, the Self like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."

To enable the seeker to steer clear of any possible doubt, the seeker should take the Atmic path. The ‘I’ is the clue and study the nature of the ‘I’ and discover its source. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
