Accumulating knowledge from 'I-centric' Gurus and their teaching is accumulating ignorance. 

The invisible Soul, the Self, is the non-dualistic awareness without the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is the dualistic awareness. 

When the seeker inquires into the nature of the ‘I’, then he will realize the invisible Soul, the Self hidden by the illusory ‘I’. The ‘I’ itself is the dualistic illusion or Maya. 

When the Self is not ‘I’ or ‘you’ but the Self is the invisible Soul, then what is the use of saying I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am not this or I am not that? What is the use of saying ‘I AM THAT’ -without knowing what the Self is in actuality? 

Without knowing the truth of the Self, without realizing the truth of the world in which you exist, it is impossible to realize the truth hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. By a mere utterance of the word ‘I AM THAT'- the truth will not be revealed.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana has nothing to do with the ‘I-centric' or You-centric’ Gurus and their teachings. 

Remember, the ‘I’ is not an individual because the ‘I’ is the whole universe. Limiting the ‘I’ to individuality is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion as reality? 

The nature of the ‘I’ is the nature of the mind. 

The nature of the mind is the nature of the universe. 

The nature of the universe is the nature of the waking. 

The nature of the waking is the nature of the illusion.

Thus, it is necessary to study the nature of the ‘I’ to unfold the mystery of the universe. 

All the teachings limit the ‘I’ to an individual and glorify the ‘I’ without knowing what this ‘I’ is supposed to be in actuality. All ‘I’ based teachings are inadequate and useless for the serious seeker of truth. 

If you are seeking truth, nothing but the truth must be discarded without mercy, such teaching to progress in your spiritual quest. 

The seeker must know that the ‘I’ is not limited to individuality. The seeker has to see the ‘I’ as the universe, to overcome ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes. 

When ignorance vanishes and the dualistic illusion (world) you used to think of as reality becomes unreal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
