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.
Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Mandukya Karika)
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 hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.
The conviction of the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth is seen to proceed from Soul-centric reasoning, and it does arise neither by bathing in the holy rivers nor by doing Kriya yoga or Pranayama or control of the vital force nor by glorifying gurus.
Sage Sankara: ~ VC- Neither sacred baths nor any amount of charity nor even Hundreds of pranayamas* can give us knowledge about our own Self. The firm experience of the nature of the Self is seen to proceed from inquiry along the lines of the salutary advice of the wise. (13)
The success depends essentially on a qualified aspirant; time, place circumstances, and other such means are but auxiliaries in this regard.
Fortunate is the man who does not lose himself in the labyrinths of philosophy, but he trying to get a direct realization of truth hidden by ignorance.
The seeker after the truth should take to Soul-centric reasoning and discriminate between dual and nondual experiences to realize what the truth is and what is the untruth.
Whatever is based on the Soul is reality and whatever is based on the ego is bound to be an illusion because the ego itself is part of the illusion.
Reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings gradually, the seekers will start assimilating and realizing ‘what is the truth and what the untruth is.
Repeated reading of my blogs and postings makes the seeker, soulcentric, and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.
When there are no doubts and confusion, then they have realized the truth that form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is the consciousness.
There is no use in wasting time in questioning and arguing same time and effort have to be used to make the seeker more independent and without external spoon-feeding he can reach the inner core, which is the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The words mean different things to different people, it is what's behind the words, between, the lines that matters. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant for the class not for the mass.
The seeker who has an intense urge to know the truth and is sharp in grasping, skills in understanding, and assimilating without the scriptures, the one who has these characteristics is a fit recipient of Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
