Gurus and Yogis are nothing to do with spirituality or Adyathma.+

You have got stuck up with the 'I-centric' Gurus and their teachings. 'I-centric' Gurus and their teaching create a prison for the Soul, the Self.

You will never be able to free the Soul, the Self from the prison of the ‘I’.

You are immersed in worshipping the Gurus instead of completing your journey.

Worshipping the Gurus keeps you permanently in the domain of ignorance. Worshipping the Gurus belongs to religion and yoga. Gurus and Yogis have nothing to do with spirituality or Adyathma.

The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.

Guru is needed in the religious and yogic path. The Soul is the inner Guru. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the source of all that exists as the universe. To realize the universe is consciousness there is no need for Guru.

Vedas bar human worship: ~

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.":~ (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Then why worship and glorify the Gurus and Yogis (human form) in place of God when Veda bars such activities and also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

Such worship, devotion, and reverence to Gurus will never allow you to realize the ‘Self’, which is hidden by ignorance.

‘I’ is the cause of all contradictions whereas the truth you are seeking is beyond all contradictions. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is infinite.

There are two dimensions of reality. The dualistic and nondualistic reality, it does not mean they are two orders of reality. There are only two perspectives. Whatever that is there is real and is unaffected by our views.

The dualistic reality is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness as the non-dualistic reality.

The Soul which is caught up in ignorance; encounters the dualistic illusion (form, time, and space). However, the Soul, in reality, is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The Soul is infinite. The infinite ‘Self’, is perceived as limited to form, time, and space.

The illusory form, time, and space are superimposed on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. In reality, form, time, and space are made of the same clay, which is consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal and the form, time, and space are merely an illusion.

You are an individual-in-the-world you are unaware that the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘‘Self’ is the Soul, which is the cause of the world in which you exist. Thus, the ‘‘Self’’ is not an individual because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul is originally a pure, transcendental consciousness taken it is due to ignorance that hides the Soul, the ‘Self’ that the individual fails to see the nexus between the Soul and the world in which he exists.

That nexus indicates the oneness underlying the subject-object, inner-outer distinctions. All that is required is to remove the error and the Soul will shine on its own accord.

Water in the pond that is clear and undisturbed. One can see the bottom of the pond through its still water. When, however, pebbles are thrown into the pond, the water in it is disturbed and the bottom of the pond becomes no longer visible. That bottom, however, is there all the time and it remains unchanged, no matter whether the surface water is disturbed or not. The water in the pond is the transactional world. The bottom of the pond is the transcendental reality. The disturbance created is ignorance.

The seeker has to mentally recognize the subjective and objective reality. The objective reality is merely an illusion of the subjective reality.

Objective reality never exists from the standpoint of subjective reality. The subjective reality is the fullness of consciousness. Objective reality is merely an illusory division of form, time, and space created on subjective reality.

The objective reality is superimposition over the subjective reality. The objective reality (world) seems real but it actually is unreal.

The superimposition of the illusory form, time, and space on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the cause of ignorance.

When the ignorance is removed through Advaitic wisdom then the illusory division of form, time, and space never again prevails as a reality the same way as the dream never becomes a reality when waking takes place.

The superimposition of the illusory form, time, and space becomes one with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

By constantly repeating ‘I THAT” ‘I AM THIS Who AM ‘I, without realizing what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality, ignorance becomes more and more deep-rooted, Then it becomes impossible to come out of the prison the intoxication of the ‘I’.

The Soul is not ‘I’ but the Soul is the witness of the ‘I’. The ‘I’, which appears and disappear is not permanent. The Soul is eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
