To acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara, the seeker has to be free from all orthodoxy ideas.+

Sage Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

Sage Sankara –VC:~-"All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought

According to Advaita Vedanta, the Veda addresses itself to two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the most advanced seeker who seeks to know Brahman.

Thus, the Purva mimam. sa, with its emphasis on the karma kanda of the Vedas, is meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, the Vedanta, with its emphasis on the Jnana kanda, is meant for those who wish to go beyond such transient pleasures.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions will determine the phenomenal world observed and experienced.

The Orthodox pundit seeing Sage Sankara’s Advaita will see differently from a Gnani seeing the same Sage Sankara’s Advaita. Each one of them interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge.

The Orthodox see Sage Sankara as the founder of their religion, and also as a Jagadguru of the Advaitic orthodox sect. A Gnani sees Sage Sankara not as a Jagadguru, but as a Brahma Gnani.

The orthodoxy believes in their experience of birth, life, death, and rebirth, and the world as a reality. Whereas Gnani sees the world as merely an illusion created out of consciousness. Thus, a Gnani sees no second thing other than consciousness.

The one who treads the path of wisdom gains the knowledge of reality beyond form, time, and space. A Gnani has delved into and transcended consciously all identification with the experience of form, time, and space.

The orthodoxy has to be bifurcated from the Advaitic wisdom. To acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara, the seeker has to be free from all superstitions and dogmas orthodoxy, and scriptural knowledge.

The seeker has to be more rational and scientific in his attitude. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
