Everything is consciousness. Nothing can exist without consciousness.+

Q:~ A S:~ You said, if am the truth seeker, one should spend time trying to know owns one existence, please enlighten me on this, how should one achieve it? Thank you, Guru Ji

Santthosh Kumaar: ~ ‘Until one thinks he is an individual separate from this world he remains in the realm of the duality. The duality is the product of ignorance.

When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then ignorance vanishes. When ignorance vanishes, then the dualistic illusion (world) never remains as a reality.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego and, therefore, experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul or consciousness.

Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Sage Sankara says you must first know what is before you. If you cannot know that, what else can you know or understand? If you give up the external world in your inquiry, you cannot get the whole truth.

Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the not-Self.

When you realize you, your body, and your experience of the world is nothing but consciousness with full and firm conviction then ignorance vanishes. When ignorance vanishes then there is oneness.

When ignorance vanishes you are not you but consciousness. Your body is not the body but consciousness your experience of the world is not the world but consciousness. Even though you exist within the world you will be able to observe the reality hidden by the world as it is.

Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. If everything is consciousness then how can anything exist which is not consciousness?

When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm then everything falls into the right slot.

What is the Soul? What is consciousness? What is awareness? They all are one and the same.

The universe is present only in waking experience. The waking experience is present only when the mind is present and the mind is present only when the ‘I’ is present.

The universe or the waking experience or the mind (I) are one and the same thing. This truth has to be assimilated first.

Mentally reduce the universe into a waking experience and waking into mind (I) and the mind into the consciousness by realizing the mind or universe or the waking is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Only an intense urge to know the truth, humility, sincerity, and patience are the only qualifications to realize God in this very life and in this very world.

Until you make sure intellectually the ‘Self’ is not within you but the ‘Self’ is hidden within the world, in which you exist and the world, in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness, it is difficult to become soulcentric.

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 of understanding.

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 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.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
