Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal.

Mentally discriminate between the real and unreal.

Sage Sankara said ~ “Atman is Brahman ~ “That is, the invisible Soul is the ultimate reality.

Sage Sankara said ~ “The world is an illusion ~ that is the world in which you exist is an illusion.

Mentally hold on to the real and discard the unreal by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate reality. Whatever existed as the illusion is nothing but consciousness?

Remember this, the Self, not you but the Self, is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the Self is not you, then the world in which you exist has nothing to do with the invisible Soul, the Self. The world in which you exist is a reality till you hold the Self as the ‘I’.

From the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the world in which you exist is an illusion.

You have to mentally discard the ‘I’, which is an illusion.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

To acquire Advaitic Gnana: ~

The seeker must first: Realize the truth ~ that the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the only reality, and the world in which he exists is an illusion.

Second: Soulcentric reasoning from all points of view.

Third: giving up all further argumentation based on the ‘I’ and realizing the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’.

This realization comes from being certain that the Soul alone is real and the ‘I’ is unreal.

Stick to the ultimate truth.

If one wants to acquire Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana or Self-knowledge or knowledge of consciousness, one has to drop all ritualistic and orthodox baggage to move forward in their pursuit of truth.

We have to grow from the inside out. None can teach us, none can make us spiritual. There is no other guru but the invisible Soul, the Self.

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 through inquiry, analysis, and soul-centric 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 is receptive to accepting the truth will enter non-dualistic Self-Awareness when their conviction becomes firm. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
