Manduka Upanishads:- Those that want Brahman (God in truth) will inquire and practice discrimination.+

Bhagavan Buddha: ~ ‘ Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

The scriptures are saying the truth is beyond the religion and scriptures.  There is no need to study scriptures or follow religion. 

The path of truth is the path of verification. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification.

Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization the world in which we exist is created out of single stuff. And that single stuff is consciousness, which leads to the realization of the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Read repeatedly my postings and blogs and reflect and reason deeply which helps you to create a mental yardstick in your subconscious to discriminate between ‘what is the truth? And what is the untruth? 

When the subconscious is receptive and ready then it will start rejecting the untruth and finally, the Soul, the 'Self’ alone will prevail as the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

There is no practice as such, but perfect understanding is needed to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atman Gnana.

Remember:~

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings repeatedly is a mental exercise to sow the seed of the Advaita.

Your urge is at the seed level. As you go on reading the words of wisdom it will start growing. It takes time for the egocentric subconscious to accept the Soulcentric truth.

The truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. There is no need to search for the truth because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth. 

Only when the conviction of the Soul becomes firm then only you will be able to accept the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.

You have to only realize the world in which you exist is created out of a single clay. And that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. They cease to exist without consciousness. You have to think and reason deeply

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what,’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is the truth?” and ‘What is the untruth?. Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Atmic-awareness.

I can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work.

Thus, you and your body and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness. You have to think and reason deeply

Everyone’s inner work is on. Until a man is ripe to receive Self-knowledge, he will not be able to understand what I am saying.

It is your intense urge that will take you to the ultimate goal. Patience and humility will help you to reach what you are seeking.

It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need to read and hear the words, to think deeply, reason, reflect deeply, and reach the ultimate end.

Start your journey even though you may find it difficult at first as you go on reading the post your subconscious will start dropping the dualistic egocentric knowledge and start accepting the Soul-centric Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Remember:~

Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)

The reasoning is interpretable in two ways. The egocentric interpretation is to apply it only to the waking experience. 

The Soulcentric interpretation is to apply it to the three states. The latter leads to a final settlement of the problems because it takes all data into consideration.

As we keep digging deeper and deeper, the truth will shine as pure awareness in the midst of the duality (waking). 

The Soul the Self, is our ultimate teacher. It is only our inner teacher that will walk with us to the goal, for the Soul is the goal. 

From the ultimate standpoint, there is no teacher, there is no teaching and there is no student. Millions are searching for the truth, but one in a million will realize it. 

Remember:~

Manduka Upanishads:- Those who want Brahman (God in truth)  will not practice control of the mind.  That is Yoga for duffers. The others will inquire and practice discrimination. (p.231)

The reasoning is interpretable in two ways. The egocentric interpretation is to apply it only to the practical purpose (waking experience). The Soulcentric interpretation is to apply it to the three states. The latter leads to a final settlement of the problems because it takes all data into consideration.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ Reason as a means to reality. (Chap.18 verse 37)

In chap. 10 of in the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says: ~ I cannot save you, but I can give you Buddhi (reason). (chap. 10)

In chap. 10 of in Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says: ~ "I have given you the most secret teaching, now reflect over it all" Krishna plainly says reflect, think. (Verse 63 of Chap. 18)

Mundaka Upanishad says: ~  Both states are harmful and take you away from the path of inquiry into truth. (Page 234)

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ It is not the absence of Buddhi (Reason) that can grasp Advaita but the man who possesses the highest intellect. Brains are necessary. Such a man, by merely hearing the truth mentioned will know it. (Page~ 224). : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
