Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery.+

Swami Vivekananda: ~Jñāna Yoga is divided into three parts. First:- heard the truth- that the Atman was the only reality and that everything else was Maya. Second:- reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third:- giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.

People dwelling in ignorance but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

Swami Vivekananda said:~ "The Vedas teach that the Soul is divine, only held in the bondage of matter; perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, Mukthi - freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from death and misery."

The truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to grasp because of ignorance. 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, your body, and the world in which you exist are nothing but consciousness because they are merely an illusion created out of consciousness. A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.

Those who promise Gnana by giving initiation or transmission are ignorant they are unaware of the truth which is hidden by form, time, and space.

The path of wisdom is the Soulcentric path. Thus, egocentric intellectualism has nothing to do with the truth which is beyond form, time, and space. All accumulated dross leads to hallucination.

Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch II-5 P-14)

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 should not be shared with unqualified people.

The ultimate truth has to be realized first, and then only it is possible to know what the scriptures are saying. A Gnani does not require any scriptures. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
