When God is present, then man and his world are absent. When man and his world are present then God is absent.+

Mundaka Upanishad 1.3:~ “Complete knowledge includes knowledge of the phenomenal world, the spirit behind it, and the source of both of them. When the cause of all causes becomes known, then everything knowable becomes known, and nothing remains unknown.”

Meher Baba: ~ "There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization."

The Soul is the Self. The Self is God. The Soul remains in its own awareness which we identify as deep sleep in the waking experience. The waking is the state of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes, then the Soul remains in its own awareness in the midst of duality (waking).

Man cannot see God (Spirit), because man and the world in which he exists, is the product of ignorance. Man cannot see God because God is prior to anything that exists.

When God is present, then the man and his world are absent. When man and his world are present then God is absent.

Meher Baba: ~ “When the reality appears this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.

Kabir: ~ There is nothing but water in the holy pools. I know, I have been swimming there. All the Gods sculpted of wood or ivory can’t say a word. I know, I have been crying out for them. The Sacred Books of the East are nothing but words. I looked through their covers one day sideways. What Kabir talks of is only what he has lived through. If you have not lived through something, it is not true.

When the Soul the 'Self' stabilizes in its own awareness, then it will transcend the illusion of form, time, and space and reveal its formless, timeless, and spaceless true nature.

The realization of Brahman is possible in this very life not in the next life or next world. The serious and sincere seeker who has patience, humility, and an intense urge to know the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, will be able to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.

One, who has realized the ultimate truth, or Brahman, is a Gnani. A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the consciousness.

All Gurus and paramparas belong to the orthodoxy. Orthodoxy has nothing to do with Sri Sage Sri, Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom.

Identifying the Atman as Self is the most important in the Atmic path. Consciousness is the substratum in which the dualistic illusion is experienced. Consciousness is hidden by the dualistic illusion. Consciousness dwells in everything and everywhere in the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

The Atman, the real Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. The universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya is nothing but consciousness, consciousness alone is real and eternal.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. The Soul is in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self -evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness (spirit), is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
