The Advaitic truth is very simple. It is only to realize the world in which we exist is created out of a single stuff. Knowledge of a single stuff is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge frees us all from the ignorance.
We have to discard all accumulated knowledge accumulated from different Gurus and teachers.
That is why Sage Sankara says:~ V C-65- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects.
In Atmic reality, there is no scope for two. Advaita means one without the second. Advaita means the Soul. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is one without the second.
Consciousness is one without the second because the world in which you exist is created out of consciousness.
Thus, everything is consciousness. No second thing exists other than consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and eternal.
Advaitic truth has to be grasped mentally by realizing that form, time and space are one, in essence.
Mundaka Upanishad condemns rituals. The Para or Higher knowledge is the knowledge of the Supreme Being while the Apara or Lower Knowledge is that of following sacrificial rites and ceremonies. (1/2/ 1 – 6)
Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”
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.
A Guru is needed in the religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Bhagavan Buddha:~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting
Rest in consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. The Soul is fullness of consciousness without the illusory division of form, time, and space.
Consciousness alone is real and eternal all else is merely 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.
Till 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.
In the past, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was imparted only to a few because sages of truth had preserved it people were more interested in their religious beliefs.
Nowadays people are more advanced and capable of understanding assimilating and realizing the truth beyond form, time, and space.
Start your journey even though you may find it difficult at first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Everyone’s inner work is on. The Soul, the inner guru (Self) guides us all till we get the stillness of its nondual true nature.
As you raft upon which you cross the swift river to get to the other side; once you are on the other side of the shore; there is no longer any need to carry the raft. The far shore is the reality, when you reach it, you can see quite clearly that there was never any river at all. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
