In India, people think that religion as a stepping stone to the higher truth but it is not so because religion is based on the false Self (waking entity or ego) within the false experience (waking or the world). Religion is not spirituality. Spirituality is based on the Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit.
One must go beyond form, time, and space. The theistic tradition has been kept alive by the orthodoxy.
The orthodoxy is the path of ignorance because it is based on ignorance. The orthodoxy is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. Thus, it is not the path of ultimate truth or Brahman.
People who stuck to orthodoxy never will be able to cross the prison of duality. Without crossing the prison of duality, Self-awareness is an impossibility.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana is necessary to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the highest wisdom. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the Advaitic Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana leads to Self-awareness.

In Self-awareness, there is no second other than the soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
People speak of getting rid of the conditioning or the samskara, but they themselves are unaware of the fact that the universe in which they exist is the product of the inborn samskara or conditioning. The ignorance is the cause of the inborn samskara or the conditioning which present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’.
Remember:~

The ignorance is the cause of the inborn samskara or the conditioning which present as ‘I’ or ‘I AM’.
The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that ‘I’ consciousness is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not self-awareness. The self –awareness is when the formless soul or consciousness remains aware of its own non-dual true nature.
When one realizes the fact that, the whole universe and its contents, movable and immovable, is known to be the consciousness, and thus the existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say that the universe is the universe. The universe and its contents bound to be the consciousness.

Sage Sankara said:~ VC-65- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through arguments.
One cannot expect mental spoon-feeding for everything. The seeker has to do his own homework. One will not understand it through argument, which leads nowhere but to perversity.
That is why Bhagavan Buddha said:~ Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
Swami Vivekananda said: ~“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own soul.”
The real Moksha or freedom is to realize the fact that ‘I’ consciousness is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not self-awareness. The self –awareness is when the formless soul or consciousness, the innermost self remains aware of its own awareness.
Dualist sages could not distinguish between the ‘I’ and the ‘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.
Most of the modern Gurus are also stuck with ‘I’ awareness as self-awareness. The ‘I’ awareness is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present only when the universe is present. The universe is present only when the waking or dream is present.
The ‘I’ awareness is absent when the mind is absent. The mind is absent then the universe or waking or dream is absent. ‘I’ awareness is mere illusion. Self-awareness is Atmic awareness.
It is impossible to get rid of any conditioning without getting rid of the inborn samskara or conditioning. ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is the inborn samskara or the conditioning. ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is the mother of all conditioning. Because of this inborn conditioning, one thinks he is an individual separate from the world and the world existed prior to him and he is born in it afterward. Until this inborn conditioning is present one is in the grip of duality and he experiences the birth, life, death and the world as reality.
This inborn conditioning makes one experience the illusory duality as a reality. :~Santthosh Kumaar
