Freedom from duality will never come from discussing philosophy or by indulging rituals, prayers and worship or by glorifying gurus or gods.+

All accumulated bookish knowledge is only intellectual wealth. Intellectual wealth is mental garbage Lecture consisting of a shower of ornamental words, the skill in expounding the accumulated bookish knowledge, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar, but it is not Advaitic Gnana or wisdom of Sage Sankara.

The accumulated scriptural and bookish knowledge is useless so long as the highest truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest truth has already been known.

Hence the seeker should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.

To get rid of ignorance, the only remedy is the Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

There is no need to study the scriptures in order to get rid of ignorance.

The scriptures themselves suggest scriptures are not needed to acquire Self-knowledge. Without direct realization, one cannot be liberated from experiencing the illusory universe as reality.

There is no need to read books after books. You need to realize only the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of that single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Advaita.

No books can do more than help us to find it, and even without them, we can get all truth if we search for the truth which is hidden by the world in which we exist. You have the love for books without bondage to them; and read the books, but do not believe blindly because it is well written with the ornamental world, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out on your own to find the truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space. Think the Soul is your inner Guru - that Soul is an eternal help.

There is no need to read books to realize the truth which is beyond form, time, and space.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ “It is actually said that for one who knows Brahman, the ultimate Reality, the Veda has no meaning: Veda becomes no-Veda'.

The Upanishad itself says: ~ “vacho viglapanam hi tat” ~ 'Words are only so much of a distraction for such minds'.

Katha Upanishad: ~ This Atman cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas, or by intelligence, nor by much hearing of sacred books. It is attained by him alone whom It chooses. To such a one Atman reveals Its own form. (Katha Upanishad Ch-II -23-P-20)

Remember:~

Lectures consisting of a shower of ornamental words, the skill in expounding the Scriptures or intellectual theories, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the intellectuals , but are no good for freedom.

Freedom from duality will never come from discussing philosophy or indulging in rituals, prayers, and worship, or glorifying gurus or gods.

The inborn conditioning stronger and stronger by indulging in the rituals , glorifying gurus and gods. . If one has the strong conviction that, the practical life within the practical world as reality, then there is no freedom from experiencing the birth, life, death and the world as reality. 

Till one believes the experience the birth, life, death and the world as reality,  the duality will prevail as reality.

When nondual wisdom dawns, than the universe (duality) becomes a mere mirage created out of consciousness.  The duality is present only when the universe is present.  If the universe is merely an illusion than the duality also is merely an illusion.   

Thus all the illusory bonds of duality brakes and the ‘self’ is liberated from the clutches of duality which was experienced as reality. In the same way, as the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place the duality becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.:~Santthosh Kumaar
