Bhagavan Buddha saw yoga could not yield truth.+

Bhagavan Buddha gave up yoga after practicing it for six years. Bhagavan Buddha saw yoga could not yield truth.

Bhagavan Buddha gave up his austerities of yoga as impossible and useless. Thus, Bhagavan Buddha got enlightenment only after he gave up Yoga. (Page.70/71 "Buddhism In Translation” by Warren)

Unless one exercises his Buddhi--reason--there is no chance of getting the ultimate truth or Brahman

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality. Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world, and sages of truth agree. He told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Vedanta in speech but not to Vedanta fully.

Only when we independently search for the truth without religion and its doctrine we will be able to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Sage Sankara says: ~Yoga is not the means of liberation- (pages 132-133 of his commentary on Brihadaranyakopanishad)

Neither Yogic Samadhi nor bliss or worldly pleasure should be allowed to draw one away from evenness; for neither can give the ultimate truth or Brahman. When one is distracted by either internal or external bliss, it should by effort be drawn back to steadiness, and evenness. This state alone yields the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Intellectually knowing the truth is only an imagination, whereas realizing the truth knows it as such.

Yogis assume that thoughtlessness is wisdom. And the Samadhi is the bliss. Bliss is the ultimate experience.

Yogic theories are based on the false self (you) within the dualistic illusion (waking). The ‘Self is not the ‘I’, but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’ but the formless, timeless, and spaceless Soul, then whatever is experienced on the base of ‘I’ is bound to be a hallucination within the dualistic illusion.

The yogic Samadhi is a reality within the domain of form, time, and space, but from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, yogic Samadhi is merely an illusion.

The yogi cannot keep out a portion of the consciousness. It is utterly impossible. Thoughtlessness is not Self-realization. The thoughts come to the thinker within the illusory dualistic world.

The thoughts, thinker and the world in which the thinker exists are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the only tool to get rid of ignorance. Without getting rid of ignorance, Self-realization is impossible. Self-realization is possible only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

That is why Sage Sankara indicated in Bhaja Govindam says: ~ (Jnana Viheena Sarva Mathena Bajathi na Muktim janma Shatena) ~ One without knowledge does not obtain liberation even in a hundred births, no matter, which religious faith he follows.

Yogic Samadhi is an egocentric practice based on the false self within the dualistic world, which is an illusion created out of consciousness? : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
