Unless one drops all his accumulated garbage of dualistic knowledge, it is impossible to realize the Self. +
A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.~ Nirakara
Until you think, you are an individual separate from the world, and the world existed prior to you, and you are born in it afterward, ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there, the ‘I’ prevails as reality.
If the ‘I’ prevails as reality, then the world in which you exist prevails as a reality. If the world in which you exist is a reality, then the dualistic illusion is experienced as a reality.
Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ helps you to overcome the ignorance (I). Until ‘I’ is there, the ignorance is there. Until ignorance is there, you will not be able to unfold the mystery hidden by the ‘I’.
Unless one drops all his accumulated garbage of knowledge, it is impossible to realize the Self hidden by the dualistic illusion.
The Seeker has to think deeply instead of passing judgment on his own point of view, and he has to drop a judgmental attitude, which bars the realization of the truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space. The Advaitic truth is not a custom-made product to please different mindsets.
What is the use of arguing based on the birth entity, which is not the Self?
What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the Self is birthless?
What is the use of thinking of heaven and hell when the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, is not an individual, and it is never born and never dies?
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman, which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.
Intellectual discussion is a great hindrance in the pursuit of truth because intellectual knowledge is egocentric knowledge, which is limited to the domain of form, time, and space.
In Advaitic Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though ego is present, the body is not considered as body even though body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, because of wisdom, everything is considered as consciousness. Thus, there is conscious oneness.
Only in ignorance, the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, the Self.
The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but it is unreal in the sense that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.
People's approach is more practical, and they are stuck with the reality of the world; they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see it differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the consciousness, and he is fully aware of the fact that there is no second thing exists other than the invisible Soul or consciousness.
Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
You are not the Self because you belong to the dualistic illusion. Until you hold the Self as you, you will remain ignorant of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The word is the form only for communication purposes. Within the duality, it is impossible to communicate without words. Grasping the truth beyond the words is essential.
When a Gnani does not see his body as the body, his ego as the ego, his experience of the world as the world, then he has realized his body, his ego, and his experience of the world as consciousness.
Everything is the invisible Soul or consciousness. Thus, there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
