Religious Gurus and yogis are not Gnanis.+

As regards bodily and sensual activity, there is no difference between the Gnani and the ignorant man. You cannot distinguish the former from the latter because he does not permit such distinctions to appear. Only pretenders show such external works or claims.

People think a Gnani is the one sitting idle, remote from worldly concerns, but such an idea of sitting idle, remote from worldly concerns is for the yogic idea is nothing to do with a Gnani.

Gnani acts and works in the world as others. You ought not to judge Gnanis by conventional or supernatural morality.

Whilst misunderstanding the doctrine, people must not know that the Gnani differs from them, or various troubles will arise. So he tries to be one with them. Moreover, it encourages seekers to believe that attainment is not so difficult after all.

Even friends and family members of a Gnani will not know him as the Gnani. Due to ignorance, people will not be able to recognize a Gnani. Outwardly, the Gnani behaves as an ordinary person behaves.

A Gnani talks and jokes like others, but he is not understood as he really is. People may regard him as an exceptional person, but only a few can recognize him as a Gnani.

Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."

So he wore a Guru's robe only for the sake of the ignorant. So he was identified as Guru with parampara by religious people. For the truth seekers, Sage Sankara is a Brahma Gnani.

Thus, it proves that religious Gurus and yogis are not Gnanis

Sage Sankara is the father of science because he is the first one to discover the mystery of the universe. Advaitic wisdom is the Science of the Spirit.

Remember:~

The world is the same in the cause of a Gnani and in the cause of the ignorant.

A Gnani has realized the world in which he exists is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, whereas the ignorant think the world in which he exists is a reality.

The look of the world in which we exist depends upon the medium through which the Seer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual condition will determine the world that confronts us, observed and experienced.

A Gnani, viewing the world in which he exists, sees differently from the ignorant, viewing the same world. Each one of them interprets the world that confronts them in terms of their existing knowledge.

A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the illusory play of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, whereas the ignorant see the world in which he is born, lives, and dies as a reality.

A Gnani has gained Self-knowledge and has realized the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. Gnani is fully aware that the Soul is the Self.

The invisible Soul is the fullness of consciousness without the division of form, time, and space. in the realm of the invisible Soul the form, time, and space are one, in essence. That essence is consciousness.

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is second to none. The invisible Soul, the Self, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
