Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained Self- knowledge, the knowledge of Atman, worships ‘Self’ as~ Atman (God in truth) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."
One sees many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can he, therefore, say that there are no stars in the sky during the day?
The world in which you exist hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. The world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.
One is unaware of the Soul the Self, due to ignorance. The Soul or consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is the true Self.
Consciousness is hidden within the world in which you exist. Until one thinks his body as a body, ego as ego the universe as the universe he remains in ignorance because he is still in ignorance and he is unaware that they too are consciousness.
Consciousness is not an object, as it is invisible, beyond the reach of the eyes. It is not another. It is all-full, infinite, changeless, Self-existent, Self-delight, Self-knowledge. It is the essence. It is the essence of the knower. It is the formless substance and Witness of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara arises from perfect understanding, assimilation, and realization of the truth hidden by the ignorance.
Self-knowledge will not arise from the exchange of views and opinion and arguments. The accumulated knowledge is not a yardstick, to realize the truth beyond the form time and space.
In the path of wisdom discussion of the unimportant subject matter and it creates a hindrance.
The path of truth is the path of verification. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. Agreeing to disagree causes unnecessary friction.
Sharing is giving info for the sake of goodness. As with all things, achieving a balance of peaceful communications is established with respect, humility, understanding, and patience. Balancing an achievement is harder.
Atmic path is not the path of discussion, but the path of realization of the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space.
There is only one Reality to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by the religion. Self-discovery is the only way, towards non-dual Absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusion in which we all are searching the truth of our true existence.
In the Atmic path, there is nothing to criticize and nothing to argue and nothing to discuss because there is no second thing exist other than the Soul, which is nondual.
First, realize what the Self is in actuality. Amazingly an 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 Soulcentric attitude will change your perception and then the Soul, the 'Self' will reveal its formless, timeless and spaceless true nature.
Sage Sankara: ~ ‘Reality can be realized only with the eye of understanding, not just by a scholar. What the moon is like must be seen with one's own eyes. How can others do it for you?"~Vivekachoodamani
What is the use of arguing with religious believers? They think what they know as the ultimate truth.
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?
That is why Jesus said: ~ Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)
~ Jesus meant Knowledge of the Spirit(God) or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana (pearls) should not be given to the ignorant populace (pigs).
Spirituality has nothing to do with religion. Spirituality is based on the Spirit, the real God whereas religion is based on the false self within the false experience.
Remember:~
By reading my posts & blogs often propels the reader into the thinking process. By reading repetition of the words of wisdom on this subject the inner whirling in subconscious takes place which replaces the old thoughts based on the ego by accepting the Soulcentric truth.
A perfect understanding removes all sorts of obstacles in pursuit of truth. Only through constant repetition words in my posts will make one think differently but it also creates more doubts and confusion in his subconscious and his inner urge to know the truth even more intense. And it also helps to overcome some of our conditioning, which we have inherited from parental grooming and circumstances.
Repetition of reading the words of wisdom assists a seeker to help to focus his attention from the form (world) to formless (Soul or consciousness), which is very much necessary in pursuit of truth. And repetition is an effective tool and has an effect on the subconscious mind, which is not receptive to receive new truth because it is conditioned to receive only a logical conclusion based on ego.
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 nature of the Soul, the Spirit is like a state of sleep. But the sleep is unconsciousness of the objects whereas Self-awareness is a conscious awareness of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness in the midst of the object.
The reason, in respect of the ultimate reality, is like the impossible conception of a sleeping man trying to know what he is about, without waking up. As sleep is to waking, so is ordinary life to the state of realization.
The seeker should be aware of everything that is untrue: stick to the truth and he shall succeed, maybe slowly, but surely.
Remember:~
Self-knowledge will not arise from the exchange of views opinions and arguments. The accumulated knowledge is not a yardstick, to realize the truth beyond the form time and space.
In the path of wisdom discussion of unimportant subject matter and it creates a hindrance. The path of truth is the path of verification. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. Agreeing to disagree causes unnecessary friction.
Sharing is giving info for the sake of goodness. As with all things, achieving a balance of peaceful communications is established with respect, humility, understanding, and patience. Balancing an achievement is harder.
The seeker has to stop passing unimportant opinions in this Atmic path. Atmic path is not the path of discussion, but the path of realization of the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space.
There is only one Reality to be known, the same for all seekers, but the ways to it, are hidden by the religion.
Self-discovery is the only way, towards non-dual Absolute without any religious doctrines, which will help the seekers to unfold the mystery of the illusion in which we all are searching the truth of our true existence.
Sages of truth restrained themselves parting the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to the mass and only a selected few.
It was hidden from the people who were not qualified and receptive to it. Self- it was given knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.
Thus, religion was given to the mass and knowledge of the spirit is given only selected few. Thus we find traces of knowledge of the spirit in the religious books in the form of parables.
Remember:~
People pass their opinions based on their accumulated knowledge thinking their accumulated knowledge as the ultimate truth but their ‘I’ know attitude merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to them but it is no good for Self-realization.
Atmic path is not the path of exchange of views and opinion but the path of realization of the truth, which is beyond the 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 and 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 Kumaar
