All the spiritual paths other than Advaita are useless unless they cause us to seek the truth of our true existence.

Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you, yourself, test and judge to be true.

Even Buddhism is mixed up with regional culture and traditions of the local religion, wherever it existed. Thus, to get the full essence of Buddhism is very difficult.

Dalai Lama said:~ “Buddhism need not be the best religion, though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama (Soul) and rebirth. Dalai Lama said that as an individual, he believes in rebirth, as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped, would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulburga).

Buddhism and its relationship with Science are like that of a water and wine, one cannot say there is no water in wine, but when you drink it, it would not be the water but wine... thus Einstein’s view is a water in wine because modern science does not believe in matter but in this religion everything is the matter only"

Bhagavan Buddha: ~ “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

Advaita is pure spirituality. All the spiritual paths other than Advaita are inadequate and useless unless they cause us to seek the truth of our true existence. All controversies about creation, the nature of the universe, evolution, the purpose of God, etc., are useless in the Atmic path.

Bhagavan Buddha: ~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

99% People are more interested in finding solutions to their problems in their practical life within the practical world. Atmic path has nothing to do with the practical life within the practical world. Thus, they follow the religious path

In the Atmic path, we have to grow from the inside out. None can teach us, none can make us spiritual. There is no other Guru but our own Soul.”

Self-knowledge or Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana cannot be attained by one who is without strength or earnestness or without the receptiveness and courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth. If a serious seeker strives sincerely by means of inquiry, analysis, and Soulcentric reasoning, he will be able to realize it.

It is only the seeker's sincerity and earnestness in his spiritual pursuit, the knowledge starts revealing on its own. Anyone who has humility and patience and is sincere and ready to drop their accumulated dross and receptive to accepting the truth will enter nondual Self-Awareness when their conviction becomes firm.

That is why Bhagavan Buddha: ~ No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We must walk the path. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
