It is very difficult to talk to people about the ultimate truth or Brahman because everyone thinks they know the ultimate truth or Brahman. This I know, business is dangerous. And whatever his reached conclusion is second-hand stuff. Therefore, accepting accumulated knowledge without verification will lead the seekers to a hallucinated realization based on the ego.

One may have some flashes of truth when someone tries to indicate it through fewer words. But it takes us nearer to the truth, not realization.

Upanishads say:~ "He who thinks he knows, does not know." This means that to know anything implies a second, an object of knowledge, hence duality, i.e., no Gnana.

Tripura Rahasya, 18: 89:~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realisation will do that. Realise yourself, turning the mind inward.

The pursuit of truth is a mental (inner) journey. Deeper Self-search makes one aware of ‘what truth’ is and ‘what is untruth’, and the subconscious will be able to reject the untruth after knowing what is Truth. Whatever prevails after rejecting the untruth is the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
