Rest in consciousness.+

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other truth other than the consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth,  nothing is real but consciousness, nothing matters but realizes the ultimate truth. Consciousness is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

Rest in consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. 

The Soul is the fullness of consciousness without division of form, time, and space.  Consciousness alone is real and eternal all else is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness.

A person who bases on birth, life, death and the world is trying to find the meaning of life. There is no meaning or purpose in life because life is merely happening within the dualistic illusion (world). T

Thus, karma based on the physical entity is based on birth, life, and death, which is part and parcel of the illusory universe or Maya

The ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’.*****

The ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’.  The ‘Self’ is the Soul.  The Soul, the innermost Self is without the form, time and space. 

Dualist sages could not distinguish between ‘I’ and ‘Self.’ The 'I' was the ‘Self’.  Their highest was the Jiva. You are so much attached to the 'I' that you do not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again you are unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real ‘Self’.

Dualists Sages have written big volumes about the Soul. Yet they are quite ignorant of the fact that the ‘I’ about which they write itself comes and goes and has no permanent existence, is only an idea after all.

What is it that appears as the ‘I’ and disappears as the ‘I-less? It is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Do not make the mistake of holding the ‘I’ as the Self because it is not permanent. ‘I’ disappears and becomes ‘I’-less.

‘I’ is an illusion and the ‘I-LESS’ is real and eternal. The ‘I-LESS ‘appears as ‘I’ and ‘I ’‘disappears as I-LESS.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole.

The earliest ancient sages used the word ‘I’ to the witness of the three states not to the ego as moderns use it and think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal. 

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10: ~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "I," if you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.: 

The one which is born, lives and dies, is not the ‘Self’.   Your   birth and death happen within the world.  The world itself is the dualistic illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of the consciousness.  When the Soul, the Self is not limited to an individual the use what is the use of ‘who am ‘I’? -inquiry.   What is the use of saying ‘I AM THIS’ and ‘I AM THAT’, without realizing what the ‘Self’ is in actuality? WHO AM ‘I’? / I AM THAT’ is only helpful in elementary stages.

For Self-realization, you must first know what this ‘Self’ is in actuality.

Remember this: the ‘I’-centric and you-centric Gurus and their teaching is not Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Unless you discard the ‘I’-centric and you-centric Gurus and their teaching it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

What is the Self?

If something is true, is real, is constant, is a foundation of a nature that is unchanging, this can be called the Self.

The Soul, the Self is the fullness of the consciousness without the illusory division of the form, time and space. The Soul is formless, timeless and spaceless and eternal existence.

People have not penetrated the meaning of the ‘Self’. The meaning is that the ultimate truth is the Self, which is the eternal is existence.

You are impermanent because the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

People have not penetrated the meaning of the ‘Self’. The meaning is that the ultimate truth is the Self, which is the eternal is existence.

You should not hold anything of the dualistic illusion (universe), which is impermanence. The world in which you exist makes you feel as though they are real but ultimately they are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is permanent.

You must cultivate to see the permanence (Soul) hidden by the impermanence (universe) as it is.

If you do this, you will be like one who sees a gem in the muddied water among the stones and rocks and waits for the water to settle before he skillfully plucks it out.

It is the same with cultivating the idea of the Soul, the Self hidden by the dualistic illusion (universe).: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

There is no use of studying the scriptures and other scriptures in order to acquire the Advaitic wisdom***

Self-knowledge cannot be attained by the study of the scriptures and intellectual understanding or by bookish knowledge.  Therefore, there is no use of studying the scriptures and other scriptures in order to acquire the Advaitic wisdom. 

Scriptures mastery, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that Ultimate Truth or Brahman. The ultimate truth is revealed in the clear understanding and realization of ‘what is  the truth' and ‘what is untruth'.  When one realizes the untruth (universe) is created out of single stuff, the Self-awareness rises in the midst of duality exposing the unreal nature off the form, time,  and space.

                                                                                       

The ultimate truth has to be realized first then only it is possible to know what the scriptures are saying. I do not require any scriptures.

I quote Scriptural citation and also citation of the sages of truth only after   verification reality and proved the truth, to point out that the scriptures teach the same thing. If one quotes them before having demonstrated truth, then it is scholasticism.

Scriptures are being added to from time to time. This process will go on. There is the final authority among them? One contradicts the other: duality reigns supreme.

There is no use of studying the scriptures and spiritual books  in order to acquire the non-dual wisdom.  That is why Buddha rejected the scriptures, and even Sage Sri, Sankara indicated that the ultimate truth lies beyond religion, concept of God and scriptures.

Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind***

Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch~ II-5 P-14)

Those who indulge in the perverted argument on their own standpoint and opinion are not seeking the  truth, which is beyond form, time and space.  They just want to exhibit their accumulated knowledge accumulated from here and there.  They think what they know is the ultimate truth.

They think whatever they propagate is the ultimate truth. The question never occurs to them, “Is what I know is really the truth?

I just write what is revealed from the inner core. My main intention is to divert the seekers attention to the source from where the mind (universe) rises and subsides.

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings gradually,   the seekers will start assimilating and realizing  'what is the truth' and 'what the untruth' is. Repeated reading my blogs and postings makes the seeker, Soulcentric and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.

When there is no doubts and confusion, then they have realized the truth that the form, time and space are one in essence. And that essence is the consciousness. There is no use in wasting time in questioning and arguing same time and effort has to be used to make the seeker more independent and without external spoon feeding he can reach the inner core, which is the Soul, which is present in the form of  the consciousness.

The words that mean different things to different people, it is what's behind the words, between the lines that matters. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant for the class not for the mass.

Till one hold the ‘I’ as the Self, it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana***

People  study  Vedanta  and they  under the delusion and concludes that  they  declare:~   "I-Am-Brahman",   but they fail to realize the fact that   Brahman  is everywhere and in everything! The existence of Brahman is not limited to his physical identity,   because it the very essence of the form, time and the space.

Yoga Vasistha:~ "Teachers, interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that Ultimate Truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the heart, engendered from contact with the good."

Sage Sri, Sankara: ~ VC Let erudite scholars quote all the Scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together (verses-6)

Sage Sri, Sankara said:~  Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

The ‘I’ is the ignorance. Till one hold the ‘I’ as the Self, it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  Thus,   the seeker has to get rid of the ignorance, which is present in the form of ‘I’, in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. 

Some Gurus propagate that by becoming laughing Buddha one get Self-realization***

If you laugh or if you cry the wisdom will not dawn.   The one which laughs or cries is the one which is born lives and dies whereas the Soul, the innermost self is formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

Some Gurus propagates that by becoming laughing Buddha one get Self-realization, because if one keep on laughing he forgets his physical identity but is mere a theory based on the false self within the false experience.

Suppose if one keeps laughing within the dream, the dream become unreal when wisdom dawns. Similarly, if one keeps laughing with the waking experience, the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.  The wisdom dawns when the Soul, wakes up from its sleep of ignorance.  Thus, the ignorance will not vanish by keep laughing but such act keep the Soul, the innermost Self in the prison of the dualistic illusion.

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ is needed to cross the leasehold of the dualistic illusion.
