Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth, Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realize God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.
Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.
The Soul which is present in the form of consciousness is birthless and deathless because it is formless. The fruit of immortality comes only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. For a Gnani neither the birth nor the death nor the world turns his attention from the formless Soul the Self.
The religious and yogic paths are based on the birth entity believes in rebirth and reincarnation, because they base themselves on the birth entity whereas the Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless. It is birthless and deathless because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Advaitic wisdom leads to non-dualistic or Advaitic Self-awareness.
Dogmas and beliefs, rituals and ceremonies, can never be the essence of spirituality. Religion has become merely a matter of external rituals and ceremonies; religious life has become a cage for the Soul, the Self.
Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “Truly the dualism is the root of suffering. There is no other remedy for it than the realization that all this that we see is unreal and that the Soul, the Self, is the one stainless reality, consisting of the consciousness”. 2:16
The sun, the moon, the stars, planets shine because of the Soul or Spirit. The Soul shines and all things else shine as a result. Everything in the universe reflects but that light of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. Merely knowing the truth is not enough to escape from the tangle of illusion.
The mind is in the form of the universe. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion. The illusion arises from ignorance. Enlightenment comes with detachment from the illusion by realizing the experience of the form, time and space are one in essence.
Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The Self is pure awareness though through ignorance the ‘Self' has imagined itself to have additional attributes. By continually reflecting like this, the Self’s dwelling place is unimagined. 2:17
Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “For the 'Self' there is neither bondage nor liberation. The illusion has lost its basis and ceased. Truly all this exists in me though ultimately it does not even exist in the Self. 2:18
By saying I know the truth; I know Brahman is not wisdom. The Truth is found only in the Unity of understanding that is the knowledge of both the matter and spirit. That is the matter and the Spirit is one in essence. And that essence is the Spirit, which is present in the form of the Soul or consciousness.
When one knows matter and Spirit together, one has “Gnana or wisdom." One must have the humility to get to the very root of the matter.
Instead of discussing religion, religious Gods, and yoga, the seeker should dive into deeper self-search.
Deeper self-search will reveal that all fault lies because of holding the ‘I’ as the Self. People refuse to accept other than their accepted truth because they have accepted some Gurus’ words or teaching as the ultimate truth.
These perceptions and attitudes block their realization of the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. The seeker must be ready to correct wherever it is necessary and accept the truth and drop the untruth. This change in their attitude will change their perception of seeing the world from the dualistic perspective to the nondualistic perspective and then the world, in which they exist will never remain as reality again. In the same way, as a dream becomes unreal when waking takes place, the world, in which they exist becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.
The Soul the Self is Self-evident. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.
The Soul is within, the Soul is without; the Soul is before, the Soul is behind; the Soul is on the right, the Soul is on the left; the Soul is above and the Self is below. The Soul alone is real, all else is merely an illusion created out of the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul does not belong to any religion, lineage or paramparas, tradition, culture, caste, race, or nationality. Religion, lineage or paramparas, tradition, culture, caste, race, or nationality belongs to the domain of the form, time, and space whereas the Soul is unattached to the form, time, and space.
The Soul, the Self is unattached to the form, time, and space because it is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The Soul is the cause of form, time, and space and it itself is uncaused.:~Santthosh Kumaar
