Sage Sankara’s wisdom reveals Atman is the only one ultimate reality or Brahman.+
Advaita means the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. The invisible Soul is Advaita, the one without the second.
Advaita means the invisible Soul, the Self, which is second to none. The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Advaita is the nondual nature of God in truth. Advaita is the fullness of consciousness.
The Yajurveda – Chapter- 32:~ Godis the Supreme Spirit.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Sage Sankara’s wisdom is very much in tune with the essence of the Vedas and the Upanishads.
The Soul, the innermost Self, is the present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness.
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to study the scriptures to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.
~ then why indulge in studying the scriptures?
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to study philosophy, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman
~then why indulge in studying philosophy?
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to indulge in rituals, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman
~then why indulge in rituals?
Sage Sankara says: ~ there is no need to indulge in yoga, to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman

Sage Sankara says the transparent truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman (Gnani)
~ then why are you sticking with a Guru who is not a Gnani?
Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false leads to truth realization.
Atman is Brahman. The Atman is the Self, is non-dual because there is no second thing exists other than the Atman.
Atman is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and space, is merely an illusion.
There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ ceases to exist without consciousness. The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent (consciousness) is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the invisible Soul, the cause of the 'I'.
The Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
When the Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material, then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.
Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it.
Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, the consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.:~Santthosh Kumaar
