Consciousness is only the Seer, and it is not Brahman that is an error. It becomes Brahman only after negating the illusion.+

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is neither mysticism nor dogmatism. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is knowledge of the truth of our true existence. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is knowledge of the Spirit or God.

Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom itself is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnan

Sage Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

The popularity of most forms of mysticism is to be explained more by psychological than philosophical reasons.

Mysticism encourages people to be lazy, to think the external objects are created by Iswara and internal objects are created by Jiva. Both Iswara and Jiva are man’s creations. The seeker of truth should not waste his time in talks of Jiva and Iswara disputes; rather inquire into the nature of Soul.

The popularity of most forms of mysticism is to be explained more by psychological than philosophical reasons.

The truth is not revealed by justification by unreality as a reality. The truth has to be proved, not assumed. In addition, the uncontradictable truth has to be obtained.

Most teachers do not intend to prove but they feel their theoretical arguments yield the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

All the theories based on form, time, and space are egocentric. The egocentric theories will yield the truth. The truth is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Most of the Gurus seem to propagate their own teaching of the old myth in the new bottle and try to project the myth as the truth. They are more honest about the myth than the truth.

Instead of rationalization of their thinking faculty, they are injecting more dogmas into ornamental words.

The myths are more convenient or propagated in the mythical world in which they exist. In addition, the innocent and ignorant populace quickly accepts the myth as truth.

The ignorant in this world will hold that what pleases them most is the 'truth' or perfectly valid and discussion with the ignorant populace becomes useless. Therefore, there is no need to convince anyone of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. Seeking truth is a very personal journey.

The seeker of truth must realize the Soul is the ‘Self’. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Consciousness is the cause of the world in which we exist. Consciousness is everything. Before the appearance of the world in which we exist, the world was consciousness and after the disappearance of the world in which we exist, the world becomes one with consciousness. Whatever appeared and disappeared as the world, in which we exist, is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC "As layers of clouds generated by the sun's rays cover the sun and alone appear(in the sky), so egoism generated by the Self, covers the reality of the Self and appears by itself."

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

After one gets rid of ignorance, the reality hidden by the universe, which is a dualistic illusion appears on its own. Consciousness is only the Seer, and it is not Brahman that is an error, it becomes Brahman only after negating the illusion (Seen). : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
