Brahman means the ultimate truth. Brahman cannot be attained by religious orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is based on ignorance because orthodoxy holds the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality whereas the Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless because the Soul, the Self is ever formless timeless, and spaceless existence.
it is necessary to follow the path of Brahman not the path of the orthodox priestcraft. Only by dropping all the accumulated priest-crafted baggage, and to move forward to reach the nondual destination in lesser time and effort.
Sage Sankara says the transparent truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)
Realize right here and right now ~ The ‘Self’ is not you, but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is unborn eternal because it is ever formless timeless, and spaceless existence.
If the ‘Self’ is not ‘you’ but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
Whatever is real in the world in which we exist is consciousness. All that is real in the universe in which we exist is the Soul or consciousness.
Thus, by realizing the Self, which is the Soul, we discover the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself is God which is hidden by the ‘I’, which is present in the form of the universe is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
When Sage Sankara says the world is an illusion it means the experience of the birth, life, and death that happens in the illusory world inbound to be an illusion.
When Sage Sankara says the Aman is Brahman it means the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness alone is real and eternal. The world in which we exist is an illusion created out of the Soul.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (consciousness) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Bhagavad Gita says: ~ ‘Brahmano hi pratisthaham’ ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.
The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person in this world the dualistic illusion. Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is a permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
