Sage Sankara:~ Without causing ignorance to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, the true realization is an impossibility.+

The Indian Sages of Truth, who believed in the realization of the immortal Soul as the Self, frees the Soul from the illusory prison of the illusory experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

Sage Sankara:~ 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, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman. 

Sage Sankara:~ The seeker should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their reason to free the Soul, the Self from the bondage of the dualistic illusion or Maya. 

Sage Sankara:~ Without causing ignorance to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, the true realization is an impossibility.  

When the Soul wakes up from its sleep of ignorance and consciously remains in its own awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion is Moksha. There is no other goal other than Self-realization is the supreme goal within the dualistic illusion.

The Soul appeared as the world in which we exist, the world in which we exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul is God. The Soul alone is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is without the second.

The truth is ever truth and the untruth is the untruth. The untruth hides the truth.

The Soul is what gives the sentient to the illusory world in which we exist. The Soul pervades everywhere and in everything in the world in which we exist. 

The Soul is the fullness of consciousness unlimited by form, time, and space. it is self-luminous, existence, and awareness. 

One can deny it because it is the basis of the very world in which we exist. Denying the existence of the Soul is denying the world in which the denier exists.

The world exists because of the Soul. The Soul is the Self. The Self is not you but the Soul, which is the cause of the world in which you exist. 

The Soul is not within your body because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness pervades everywhere and in everything in the world in which you exist.

Drop the idea is that the Soul is within your body. Mentally detach the Soul from the world in which you exist by realizing the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. therefore, the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. if the world in which you exist is merely an illusion then there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. Thus, everything is consciousness.

Sage 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 one lifetime a hundred Brahmas put together (verses-6)

The influence of Sage  Sankara’s wisdom has nothing to do with the orthodox religious sect

Some philosophers in the past dissented from this interpretation of Vedanta philosophy, holding that the incarnated Souls were separate from the Divine Essence and only finally merged with it after the cycles of birth. 

All these theoretical philosophies are based on the imagination based on the false self (ego or you) within the false experience (waking).

Scientific knowledge is limited to form, time, and space. Self-knowledge is beyond the form, time, and space. The birth, life, death, and the world are within the domain of form, time, and space. The Soul, the  Self, is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. 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 everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
