Inner longing to know the truth, sharpness to grasp and courage to accept the truth leads one to Self-awareness.+

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. Millions are searching for truth but one in million will realize it.

Deliberate daily exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real renunciation. 

Truth is One; It is called by different names. All people are seeking the same Truth... Everyone is going toward the ultimate goal. They will all realize the ultimate truth or Brahman if they have sincerity and longing to realize it.

Bhagavan Buddha: ~It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. 

Inner longing to know the truth, sharpness to grasp, and courage to accept the truth leads one to Self-awareness. 

People are immersed in ignorance, remain to experience the illusion as a reality, and do not exert themselves to know the reality of their true existence.  By clinging to things unreal they think of their experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality. 

 By quoting the Scriptures and sacrifice to the gods, by performing rituals and worshiping the deities, but there is no freedom without the realization of one’s identity with the soul or consciousness, which is the real Self.

There is no hope of immortality through riches.  Action or inaction cannot be the cause of freedom because inaction also is action and action and inaction are part of the duality. 

People think by using lesser words or by observing silence the truth emerges on its own, but they keep hoping and remain in the prison of duality.

Seeker of truth has to strive his best for freedom from experiencing the illusion as reality and fix his attention on the formless substance and witness of the three states. The formless substance and witness are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. The consciousness alone is real and eternal, and it is the source of the mind, which rises as the universe and subsides back as consciousness.

Having grasped, understood the ultimate truth intellectually, one should recover oneself, immersed in the illusory experience of the ocean of birth, life, death, and the world through devotion to the right discrimination.

Seeker of truth, having commenced the path of the Self- realization has to give up all physical-based theoretical practices and try to realize the fact that, the waking experience in which the individual experiences birth, life, death, and the world as reality is also is as unreal as the dream. 

By realizing the formless substance and witness of the three states as consciousness one becomes free from experiencing the duality as reality.

Blinded with the illusion very few grasp the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth. Only a few escape from the web of illusion, only a few will be able to acquire nondualistic or Advaitic wisdom.

The non-duality has to be grasped in the midst of the waking experience (duality or mind or universe).  That is, being aware of the truth and untruth, reality and unreality. And able to establish himself in the truth and able to view and judge, the three states, on the base of the soul, which is ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

It is unfortunate people are stuck with their accumulated ideas based on the false self, and imagine nonduality and say nothing exists other than the source. But a Gnani says everything exists (illusion) but everything is created out of the Soul or consciousness.  Everything rises from the Soul and subsides as the Soul (spirit or consciousness). Thus, the whole diversity has no relevance, on the standpoint of the Soul as the Self.

Everything (illusion or matter) is nothingness (spirit or consciousness) realizing the three states are created out of nothingness? Nothingness is the nature of the Soul because there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, the Self.   Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.: ~Santthosh Kumaar
