People who are stuck to religion are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.+

The seeker has to realize that religion, rituals, God based on blind belief, and its code of conduct are not meant for those who are seeking the truth. Indulging in religious activities is like burying the truth in the garbage.

People who are stuck to religion are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Advaita is not concerned with any religion.

Advaita is pure Spirituality or Adyathma. Advaita is the Soul, the Spirit. Advaita itself is the God in truth.

Self-knowledge or Atma Gnana or Brahma Gnana cannot be attained by one who is without strength or earnestness or without the receptiveness and courage to accept the truth and reject the untruth.

If a serious seeker strives sincerely through deeper self-search he will realize the Self is not the 'I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which witnesses the coming and going, of the ‘I’.

The Soul is the innermost ‘Self’’. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. If the Soul is the Self then whatever is based on ‘I’ is bound to be a falsehood.

The ‘I’ is not limited to the physical body because ‘I’ is the whole world in which you exist. Without the ‘I’, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.

WHO AM ‘I’? ~ inquiry is inadequate and useless to unfold the mystery of the ‘I’.

Thus, it is necessary to know what this ‘I’ is in actuality.

What is this ‘I’?

The ‘I’ is ignorance.

The ‘I’ is duality.

‘I’ is an illusion.

The ‘I’ is the mind.

The ‘I’ is the universe.

The ‘I’ is the waking.

The ‘I’ is the dream.

The ‘I’ is form, time, and space together.

The ‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

Through deeper self-search, the seeker realizes the Self’ is not the ‘I’ but the Soul. Thus, all the ‘I’ based teaching has no value for the seeker who has crossed the boundaries of the ‘I’.

If you cross the boundary of the ‘I’ then the ignorance vanishes.

If the ignorance vanishes the falsity of the ‘I’ is exposed.

If the falsity of the ‘I is exposed then the ‘I’ becomes an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.

If form, time, and space are an illusion then the world in which we exist is an illusion.

If the world in which we exist is an illusion then the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

It is only the sincerity and earnestness of the seeker that help him to realize the truth to unfold the truth which is hidden by the ‘I’.

The truth beyond the ‘I’ starts revealing on its own if the seeker moves in the right direction with a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’.

Anyone who has humility and patience and is sincere and ready to drop their accumulated dross and receptive to accept the truth will be able to acquire Self-knowledge or Braham Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
