Mundaka Upanishad “Remaining in the fold of ignorance and thinking “we are extremely wise and learned,” the fools with boastful nature ramble about like the blind led by the blind alone.+

What is there to discuss argue and exchange opinions? If one is seeking truth there is no need to discuss no need to argue, read and think, and reason deeply, then the truth will start revealing on its own. Be an independent thinker. 

Do not accept anything without verification the seeker should not argue and waste his time. The argument will not yield truth. Only intellectuals argue to exhibit their intellectual wealth.

The intellectual argument is based on ego. The ego-based intellectuality is limited to the form, time, and space. The truth you are seeking is based on the Soul. The Soul is beyond the form, time, and space. Thus, what is the use of egocentric argument in the soulcentric discussion?

That is why Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ Believe nothing because a wise man said it, Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you, yourself judge to be true

The Advaitic wisdom consists in knowing the truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness. Freedom (ultimate truth) is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from physicality and who have attained the serenity of the Soul, the  Self is quite near to realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Ashtavakra: ~ Diamonds are not many; only pebbles and rocks are so common. A single diamond is enough.

Intellectuals argue, that if everything is consciousness, how can one give up anything? Can you give up anything? These types of questions are speculation based on the waking entity (ego), which is the false self within the false experience. 

Without knowing the ‘Self is not the form but the ‘Self’ is formless it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

All their speculation is limited to the domain of form, time, and space whereas the truth is beyond form, time, and space. They are incapable of understanding and assimilating truth, which is the ever-formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. They refuse to verify and they want the truth on their own terms.  

Remember:~ 

A scholar is proud that he has accumulated so much knowledge. A Gnani is humble that he knows no more. A Gnani is neither anyone’s guru nor anyone’s disciple. 

Some people pass their opinion based on their accumulated knowledge thinking their accumulated knowledge is the ultimate truth but their ‘I’ know attitude merely brings on a little personal enjoyment to them but it is no good for Self-realization. 

The Atmic path is not the path of exchange of views and opinions but the path of realization of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.  

Swami Vivekananda:~ The wicked are always looking for defects. Flies come and seek for the ulcer, and bees come only for the honey in the flower. Do not follow the way of the fly but that of the bee. 

Some people 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? 

Mundaka Upanishad 1:2:8:~ “Remaining in the fold of ignorance and thinking “we are extremely wise and learned,” the fools with boastful nature ramble about like the blind led by the blind alone.” 

No one can teach anybody. The wisdom is hidden within the world in which you exist. A Gnani can only show the way that much is the work of a Gnani. 

A Gnani only guides the seekers to apply their own reason and realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. 

When the seeker learns to view judge and reason the three states on the base of the Soul, the truth will start unfolding on its own. 

First, the seeker may find it difficult to use soulcentric reason but gradually it will become easy. 

Instead of finding fault first realize what the Self is in actuality. Honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with “you” and “your "own perceptions and attitudes. If there is an error in understanding what 'Self' is in actuality it is in “you". 

Correcting this and changing to a Soulcentric attitude will change your perception and then the Soul; the 'Self' will reveal its formless, timeless, and spaceless true nature. 

If you are unable to grasp the truth hidden by the ‘I’ then you will never be able to grasp nonduality or Advaita. :~Santthosh Kumaa
