Only in ignorance there is duality. In wisdom there is only nonduality.+

There is no second thing other than the Spirit (Soul or the consciousness) because everything is made of the same stuff.   Whatever splits and multiplies are part of the dualistic illusion. 

From the non-dualistic perspective,  the illusion has no value. Whatever prevails without the illusion is the ultimate Truth or Brahman or God.

The Soul is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate Truth or Brahman. The universe is not real.  There is no difference between Brahman and the universe because the universe is a mere illusion created out of the consciousness which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. 

Only in ignorance,  there is duality. In wisdom,  there is only non-duality. The Soul, the innermost Self is one without the second. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness (spirit).  
It is the same consciousness (Soul) that manifests as the whole universe. Consciousness itself is the ultimate Truth or Brahman. Consciousness is the ultimate cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused.  The seeker of truth must convince himself of this truth by soul-centric reasoning. 

Non-duality does not need the support of any Scripture or revelation like the Vedas. Advaitic truth is based not upon the varying theological fancies, which are as numerous as the sands of the sea, but upon reason, the common heritage of all mankind, irrespective of color or creed or clime. 


Thus, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant only for those who have an intense urge, and courage to accept the truth with humility and reject the untruth. Since people start comparing their scriptural knowledge, it becomes impossible to assimilate and realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. 
There is no need to convince anyone other than our own selves to get a firm conviction of the Advaitic truth. 

I am not trying to prove my views, but it is for every seeker who is on the path of truth to prove himself to know “What is the truth?, “and “What is untruth?” to assimilate the Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. 


Karma, Bhakti, and Raj yoga are not the means to the path of wisdom. And mixing them up and trying to assimilate the ultimate truth is an impossibility. 


There is no need to practice devotion, karma, and raja yoga because they are not the means to acquire non-dual wisdom.   There is no practice as such, but perfect understanding is needed.   
The deeper inquiry, analysis,  and reasoning reveal the fact that the Self is not the form but the Self is the Soul. Therefore, all the accumulated knowledge, experiences, and understanding based on the physical self (ego or you) are based on the false self within the false experience (waking).   Thus, whatever is based on the waking entity is bound to be a falsehood because the waking experience itself is a falsehood.  
 Since many teachers and teachings are based on the false self (ego or body as Self) and they consider the false experience (three states) as a  reality, they are incapable of grasping the witness of the three states. 
The Soul is the witness of the three states. the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is hidden within the three states, but it is without the three states.

Thus, the formless knower of the three states has to be grasped mentally and realize the fact that, all the three states, which come and go, are mental.  They are impermanent. The formless witness r of the three states is the Soul, which is permanent and eternal.  
There is a need to understand “What is the Mind?” “What is the substance of the Mind?”  and 'What is the source of the mind" in order to understand and assimilate the Advaitic truth.

For this one has to drop all his accumulated knowledge, which he is using as a yardstick, and lands himself in pursuit of an argument without reaching anywhere.  
One has to think deeper and analyze and verify everything and accept only the uncontradictable truth.  Nothing has to be accepted as truth because some great thinker says it.   

Those who,  lack the intelligence to discriminate between formless witness (subject) and three states (object) will not be able to grasp what is real and what is unreal. Both the subject and the object are consciousness, not the subject alone.


The truth can never change. The nature of truth is, it can never be changed under any circumstances. It may be misrepresented. It must apply to the whole of existence, to the whole of the universe. deeper analysis reveals:~ It is in the object (three states) alone that one has all changes. 


The subject (formless witness) remains unchanged. The subject (formless witness), as such remains immortal. It can never die for it never changes. The body and the world are an object and go, but the subject or the witness of the body and the universe can never go. 


The seeker has to take this principle as his guiding thread and non-dual truth becomes easy to grasp. The formless witness can never be subject to the changes of the object; it is unchanged. The mistake usually made is that the subject becomes the object, or that object is the subject.


If one wants to have the absence of contradictions, the absence of duality, there must be one entity, one being. If one has experience which is an object (mind), there is a contradiction between subject and object.   the "mind” is an object.
Remember:~
The duality is a  reality, from the standpoint of the ego. The ego is the false self within the false experience (waking)   The duality is merely an illusion from the standpoint of the Soul, the  Self.  
The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. This understanding comes only to the serious seeker, who has a real urge to know the ultimate truth, which is beyond all the teachings and teachers. There is neither teaching nor the teacher nor the student in the realm of truth.  

Different paths will not converge to the same Ultimate Reality because they are based on the false self. They are not different stages on the same path. People fight about the differences and greatness of their chosen paths but only through  Advaitic wisdom one can realize the Ultimate Reality.

One has to have perfect understanding and march ahead, surely and steadily, towards that Ultimate Reality. the ultimate reality is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness  One becomes limited to the concepts, names, and forms within waking or the dream. The waking or the dream originates from the Soul, the  Self. 

Realizing Soul as the Self is truth realization.  The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness is formless, limitless, permanent, unchanging, and by its nature non-dual and universal. The consciousness is the formless knower of the illusion (universe) which comes and goes.


Realize Brahman or the ultimate truth or God here and now, in this very life, not in the next life and in the next world by realizing the fact that,  this life within this waking world itself is an illusion.  :~Santthosh Kumaar
