Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing because a wise man said it, Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you, yourself judge to be true
The Advaitic wisdom consists in knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness.
Freedom (ultimate truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness, are quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.
The one who identifies himself as a swami, a Guru, or a yogi is not a Gnani. A Gnani never identifies himself as a swami, Guru, pundit, or yogi.
The Swami, Guru, pundit, or the yogi belongs to the religious or the yogic path not to the path of wisdom.
That is why Sage Sankara's commentary: "The knower of Brahman wears no signs.
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 stick to a Guru who is not a Gnani.
That is why Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”
People are stuck with the idea the ‘I’ itself is the Self. In the past, some famous Gurus and their teachings glorified the ‘I’, and people took it as a final and accepted it as the ultimate truth.
Such acceptance without verifying the fact about the ‘I’, their journey is incomplete. Blind acceptance and reverence for the physical guru will not help the seeker to get rid of ignorance.
Read repeatedly, think and reason deeply reflect constantly only of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing exists other than consciousness. Consciousness is everywhere and it is everything. Consciousness alone is and the world in which you exist is an illusion. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious. As the conviction about the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, becomes firm in the subconscious, the Soul becomes free from the cage of the dualistic illusion.
Only your intense urge to know the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
The truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.
A Gnani can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.
It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what.
Words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need to read and hear the words of wisdom to think reason reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the innermost Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
Reading my posts and blogs repeatedly helps you to get a yardstick for the subconscious to judge ‘what is truth’ and ‘what is untruth’ and replace the truth in the place of the untruth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
