For religious people, it is very difficult to accept anything other than their religious injected truth.+

Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ “If you desire liberation, but you still say 'I', if you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated that the Self is the ‘I’.

There is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

Mansur was beheaded for saying “Anal Haq”

Anal Haq”: It is not I am God but the Self, the Spirit is God.

Jesus was crucified because he said “I and my Father are one.

Jesus said: Spirit is my father and "I and my Father are one. ~ If the Spirit is the father then the son is bound to be the Spirit.

Krishna's words were misunderstood as vanity or self-praise.

Krishna said: "Ahum Brahmasmi." ‘Self’ is Brahman ~ that is Atman is Brahman.

Krishna's words were misunderstood as vanity or self-praise.

The doubts come; as long as there is ignorance, there will be doubts. You always work that way, going one way and then another because you think the Self is the ‘I’.

Until you hold the ‘I’ as the ‘Self’ you will never be able to realize the spiritual truth (Spirit), which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Beyond, form, time, and space means beyond ignorance.

Beyond, ignorance means beyond the dualistic illusion.

Beyond, the dualistic illusion means the non-dualistic reality.

The non-dualistic or Advaitic reality is the fullness of consciousness without the division of form, time, and space.

Until you get a firm conviction of ‘what is truth and what is untruth it is very difficult to assimilate the Self-knowledge of Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana or knowledge of the Spirit or the knowledge of God in truth.

For religious people, it is very difficult to accept anything other than their religious-injected truth.

Religious truth is based on blind belief whereas the spiritual truth is based on the Spirit the real God.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

There is nothing that exists prior to consciousness. The ‘I’ ceases to exist without consciousness.

The 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 truth of the whole.

The Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, that 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.

Truth realization or God realization is not for the religious people who are stuck with their religion.

Until you have the firm conviction of the truth you will not be able to realize the God, which is hidden by the illusion. You will realize the truth if you are sincere and serious

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. The waking experience becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns. Advaitic wisdom dawns only when one investigates and realizes “What is the mind?” and “What is the substance of the mind” and what is the Source of the mind?

In Advaitic reality, the mind, its substance, and its source are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. The knowledge of this essence is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana does not consist in the mastery of scriptural knowledge or intellectual speculation or logical conclusions. , but in the realization of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul, the Self, is neither the waking entity (ego 0r you) nor the dream entity. Without this Self-Knowledge, it is futile to try to know the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Human knowledge of an object is clouded by the ignorance that shrouds the Soul, the Self.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the unifying force that brings unity in diversity.

All egocentric knowledge is reduced to mere conjecture and, therefore, it is arbitrary. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the knowledge of true existence, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
