All the ‘I-centric’ or ‘You-centric’ Gurus and their teaching are not Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sri, Sankara.*****

All the teachings which limit the ‘I’ to an individual and glorify the ‘I’ without knowing what this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality. All ‘I’ based teachings are inadequate and useless for the serious seeker of truth. 

If you are seeking truth nothing but the truth must discard without mercy such teaching in order progress in your spiritual quest. 

The seeker must know the ‘I’ is not limited to individuality. The seeker has to see the ‘I’ as the universe, in order to overcome ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes. 

When ignorance vanishes and the dualistic illusion (world) you used to think as reality becomes unreal.

All the ‘I-centric’ or ‘You-centric’ Gurus and their teaching are not Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sri, Sankara. Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara unfolds the mystery hidden  the ‘I’. 

All the religious scriptures and Holy books are irrelevant -- God's greatest book is just in front of you.

That is why Sage Sri, Sankara says you must first know what is before you. If you cannot know that, what else can you know or understand? If you give up the external world in your inquiry, you cannot get the whole truth.

You have to study the book of the nature of the universe carefully and find and realize God hidden by it.   

The universe is real Veda, the real Koran, the real Bible is.  The universe is the book, and all other books are man-made.

Only when you open the book of the universe the God hidden in the book will be revealed.  When you finish reading the book of the universe then the universe will become an illusion and God alone prevails as the ultimate reality.

Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, in something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress. 

Millions are searching for the truth but one million will realize it. You are one from that million because you have the intense urge to realize the ultimate truth.  

When the seeker is ready, the guidance comes on its own.  An earnest desire to grow and a sense of deep commitment are the hallmarks of one who aspires to be a seeker.

When at the core of one’s being a person comes to realize he/she needs to seek a path for coming out of one’s unconscious and conditioned life, mysteriously the guidance appears to guide and shows the way.

Remember:~

First, realize you along with the world in which you exist is belongs to the dualistic illusion or Maya. The dualistic illusion hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of the consciousness because the dualistic illusion is created out of the Soul, the Self.  The dualistic illusion is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self because the Soul, the Self is ever formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

That is why Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ 65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects are to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverse arguments.

Remember: ~ 

You are not you but the consciousness; your body is not the body but the consciousness, the world in which you exist is not the world but the consciousness. Everything is known, seen, believed and experienced by you is nothing but the consciousness then what else remains, which is not the consciousness. There is nothing else to realize other than to realize the consciousness alone is, everything else is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. 

The Advaitic wisdom dawns by realizing everything is consciousness. There is no room for the duality in reality. Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ lead to Advaitic awareness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
