The seeker of truth has to do his duty in practical life within the practical world. The seeker should not remain idlers like yogis who are no better than a wooden log.
Amid difficulties and the busy life of practical life within the practical world, the seeker has to live and yet get on with the inner quest.
There is no alleviation of ignorance except the realization of the ultimate Truth or Brahman. Yoga may alleviate one's mental and physical stress.
The seeker of truth has to live in the world and he must know the ‘‘Self’’ is not of this world because the ‘‘Self’’ is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
The advaitic wisdom will not dawn by renouncing the worldly life and shutting yourself in a cave or Ashram or monastery. Too much yoga leads to insanity and fixed ideas or delusions.
The main purpose of analyzing the world that confronts is to discover that it is to realize it is nothing but the illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
People fail to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman because they have stuck with the reality of the world.
Too much religion and false belief drugs the power of reason. To effect this discrimination, we need intelligence much sharper than the average. Weak minds cannot take a comprehensive view and so decry what they cannot understand.
When you realize you and your experience of the world are made of a single stuff and that single stuff is the consciousness with full and firm conviction then there is unity in diversity in your understanding. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
It is the ignorance that creates illusion and it is the ‘Soul, the innermost ‘Self’’ that gets free of it. Words may aggravate ignorance; words may also help dispel it. There is a need to repeat the same truth again and again until it becomes a reality.
The seeker has to reflect on the nature of the Soul constantly day after day until the conviction of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, becomes firm and he gets the firm conviction.
The seeker needs to hear the words of wisdom until he realizes that form, time and space are one in essence.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the 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.
The Soul has to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and then only it is possible to realize that form, time and space are one in essence. That essence is the Soul or consciousness.
If form, time, and space are one in essence, then there is no division in consciousness.
If there is no division in consciousness, then there is no duality, if there is no duality when there is unity in diversity.
Ignorance is the cause of experiencing duality as reality. Realizing Soul as the ‘Self’’, leads to Advaitic Self-awareness. The Soul, the ’Self’ is Absolute Knowledge, which cannot be negated. The nature of the Soul is Advaitic awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
