Inner Grace will flow on its own to every serious and sincere seeker of truth. The grace of the physical Guru is not Grace.+


Consciousness itself which takes manifesting itself in the form of Advaitic wisdom when ignorance vanishes revealing its non-dual true nature in the midst of the illusory universe or Maya.

Inner Grace will flow on its own to every serious and sincere seeker of truth. The grace of the physical Guru is not Grace.

The physical Guru is part of the illusion. Stop holding the physical Guru as God and worship him for his Grace. Such an act keeps the Soul in the cage of ignorance. If you are seeking the truth then you have to get rid of the ignorance not fuel the ignorance by getting involved with the Gurus and stuck with their slavery. The Soul alone is grace. 

The Soul is the inner Guru. You do not need any grace or blessings from the physical Guru. Grace will flow on its own when you divert your attention to the Soul, the Self.

That is why 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.”

Remember, Yogis and Gurus are not Gods. This idea of worshiping Guru as God is not a Vedic idea but adopted from Jainism and Buddhism.

Vedas bars human worship: ~ "They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.":~ (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Then why worship and glorify the Gurus and Yogis (human form) in place of God when Veda bars such activities and also warns people who indulge in such activities to are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

If you get stuck worshipping the Gurus you will never be able to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. If you are seeking the truth then you have to come out of the slavery of the egocentric Guru worship.

People dwelling in ignorance but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery."

The Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance.

You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. I can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work. It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again until 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.

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 hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

When one is absorbed in thinking of anything then he forgets the subject. The subject is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul is the subject and the three states are an object to the Soul, which is the formless subject.

The Soul is the witness of the coming and going of the three states. Consciousness without the illusion is unborn and eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
