Gnani is not opposed to God, he is not an atheist, but he wants God free from the imagination, as God is in truth.+



A Gnani sees only unity in diversity, just like a goldsmith is estimating the gold in various items of jewelry sees only gold. When one identifies the Self with the form, then only the form, time, and space are present. But when one transcends form, time, and space the duality never remains a reality.

Yoga-Vasistha: ~ He (a Gnani) may be stealing in the company of rogues, killing in the company of butchers, but always he will be amongst them to elevate them; to lift them up gradually to a higher ethic. But not separating himself from them, by being like them and among them for a time, he can improve them and make them better.

Gnani is not opposed to God, he is not an atheist, but he wants God free from the imagination, as God is in truth, as he exists apart from human imaginations. Imagined Gods is not God of reality.  

A  Gnani does not say God is not there, God is, but not as one imagines God. God is above all imaginations. God exists as truth. Hence, in the path of wisdom do not use the word, God. It will be misunderstood.  Thus Brahman, which means the ultimate truth, is the right word.

Gnani does not talk about methods to become a millionaire overnight. Neither does a Gnani have no mantras to find the hidden treasures or provide a miracle cure for the diseases. A Gnani also does not recommend any worship to find a place in the religious idea of heaven and paradise.

 A Gnani does not recommend glorifying Gurus and personal Gods, and above all A Gnani does not predict the future. A Gnani helps to get rid of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the world in which we exist as a  reality. 

Once ignorance vanishes the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.   Thus, all our human experience of pain and suffering is nothing but an illusion. 

Manduka Upanishads: ~    Even the Gods cannot find out who is a Gnani because he bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the religious robe has anything to do with him.

Sage Sankara clearly indicates in Viveka Chudamani (2) that the Knower of the Atman (A Gnani) "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).  

Sage Sankara page 482: On Gnani: ~ "The knower of Brahman wears no signs. Gives up the insignia of a monk's life…his signs are not manifest, nor his behavior." 

Sage Sankara: ~ The Knower of the Atman or the knower of Brahman or Brahma Gnani.

When the knower of Brahman (Gnani) wears no signs it means he does not identify himself as Guru or yogi or teacher or Swami because a Gnani sees the form, the time and space are one in essence. Thus, there is unity in diversity in his realization.:~Santthosh Kumaar
