To realize the Advaitic or Nondualistic truth the seeker has to be free from all relgious superstitions and orthodox contaminations.+

The world is the same in the case of Gnani and in the case of the ignorant. So there is not much difference between them physically.

On attainment of Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, one becomes soulcentric and realizes ‘what is the truth and ‘what is the untruth.  

  

The orthodox view is based on the false self (ego) within the false experience (waking) because the orthodoxy holds the experience of birth, life, death, and the world (waking) as reality.  

Those who attained the monistic knowledge are unfit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  The monistic path is the path of ignorance because it is based on the false self, which is bound by birth, life, death, and the world.

Advaita is possible only through perfect understanding, and assimilation of ‘what is what” not through rituals, yoga, and karma.

It has not been possible to preach Advaitic Truth entirely free from the settings of dualistic weakness it has not been more operative and useful to mankind at large because only a few will be able to grasp and realize it.

'To realize the Advaitic Truth a freer and fuller scope the seeker has to realize the form, time and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. And the Soul, the Self is present in the form of consciousness.  

Remember:~  

To realize the Advaitic or Nondualistic truth the seeker has to be free from all religious superstitions and orthodox contaminations. The seeker has to be dedicated to acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana   alone.'

The duality is present only when the form, time, and space are present. The form, time, and space are one in essence. The ego, body, and the world are one in essence.  That essence is consciousness. Thus there is no division in consciousness in reality.  

The thinker thought and the world are one in essence (soul or consciousness). The one who has realized the soul is the true self will not see the illusory division even though he is in the midst of duality. 

A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that his body, his ego, and his experience of the world are merely an illusion or Maya created out of consciousness whereas the ignorant think that, the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality. Because ignorant bases himself on the waking entity (ego), which is the false self within the false experience (waking). 

 

So long as one is in the realm of duality, one has to explain how or why one thing came from another; and contradictory views are expressed. But when a Gnani shows there is no second, there is no production, and the contradictions do not arise at all when the ultimate thing is consciousness alone. Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The dualists’ arguments are based on false self (ego or waking entity) and false experience (mind or waking or dream or universe)  to show the weakness of the position of the dualistic viewpoint.  They are at their wits end to explain.

 Existence cannot be a cause and effect at the same time, from the point of view of the dualists, but deeper self-search shows that Existent is no-two and causality can’t rise at all. 

The dualistic theory says that whatever was in the cause was also in the effect. They say that the gold brick, the gold medal, and the gold ornaments --are in the seed--the gold. A deeper self-search reveals the fact that, if cause and effect are one what is the difference between the two?

Atman (Soul) is the Self. ‘I’ is not Atman. There is a need to know what is ‘I’ before indulging in the pursuit of truth. 

Dualist sages including many sages and thinkers could not distinguish between ‘I’ and ‘formless witness.’ The 'I' was the witness. Their highest was the Jiva. One is so much attached to the 'I' that he does not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again one is unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real witness.

The dualist object: - If everything else is false then the statement I am   Brahman is itself false, but when one says nonduality is false, there must be awareness, and consciousness, behind the very statement. 

You will also go, and die. One has to rely upon that which is permanent.  The formless witness of the ‘I’ alone is permanent. Anything that one says is a witnessed (waking), but there is the formless witness (consciousness) there before any statement could be made.

They mean the body by “I", but it is the formless witness which is the real Self, Theists dualists did not, or could not analyze further than ‘I’   on this point because they thought the ‘I’ without the body as the Self.

WHAT IS ‘I’?

The ‘I’ disappears as deep sleep, so what is the use of being attached to it? It is impermanent and illusory.

There is really no ‘I’ which in the form of mind. And the mind is in the form of the universe. And the universe appears as a waking or dream. The ‘I’ or mind or the universe or waking or dream die disappears as deep sleep.  

Thus, one that appears as ‘I’ or mind or the universe or waking or dream is consciousness and it disappears as deep sleep is also consciousness.  In deep sleep, it is in its formless nondual true nature.  The one, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states, is also consciousness.  The witness and witnessed are one in essence.   

Thus the universe is a reality at the base of individuality and the universe is unreal on the base of consciousness, which is the innermost self. The seeker gradually will grasp and realize the unreal nature of the universe or mind. Individuality is illusory because the Self is not an individual because the  Soul, the Self pervades everything and everywhere in all three states.

Dualists’ sages have written big volumes about the soul. Yet they are quite ignorant of the fact that the ‘I’ about which they write itself comes and goes and has no permanent existence, is only an idea after all.

The Bible says:~“God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24)”,

Yajur Veda also says:~ “Nathasya prathima asityasya nammahastha (32.3)”, God has no image and His name is Holy.

Mythreyi Upanishad 2:26 says:~ “Pashanalogamani moonmayavigrahashi pooja punarjanana bohahari mumusho tasmatati: swahdayarja nameva kuyarta hayacharam parihareta punarbhavaya”- All those who desire to have salvation without taking several births should worship God in spirit and truth.  

Only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana negation of duality is possible. The soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Consciousness is the cause of the origin, maintenance, and withdrawal of the universe is Advaita (i.e. non-dual), which means that consciousness transcends all conceptions, positive and negative. 

Nothing positive can ever be imagined or said about it.  Consciousness is existence absolute, awareness absolute.  The existence of absolute means that consciousness is not unreal or non-existent. And it is not unconsciousness.  Nothing positive can be stated about consciousness. :~Santthosh Kumaar
