By remaining quiet the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of the ignorance the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Without the Advaitic wisdom, the Self hidden by the ignorance will not be revealed.
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 the ignorance will prevail as a reality.
Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as a reality. Until the universe prevails as a reality ignorance thrives.
That is why Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the ‘Self’ how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.
What is the use of saying ‘I AM THAT’ without knowing what the ‘Self’ is in actuality? Without knowing the truth of the Self, without realizing the truth of the world in which you exist it is impossible to realize the truth hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. By a mere utterance of the word ‘I AM THAT', the truth will not be revealed.
Ignorance will never vanish without Advaitic wisdom. Ignorance will not vanish without inquiring into the nature of the universe. :~Santthosh Kumaar
