Swami Vivekananda: ~Jñāna Yoga is divided into three parts. First: hearing the truth--that the Atman is the only reality and that everything else is Maya. Second: reasoning upon this philosophy from all points of view. Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that Brahman is real and everything else is unreal.
It is necessary to reflect on the same truth again and again till it becomes a reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what. Words are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need reading and hearing the words of wisdom to think reason and reflect deeply and reach the ultimate end.
Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ through deeper thinking and reasoning helps to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Where there is ‘I’ then there is the mind.
Where there is mind then there is ignorance.
Where there is ignorance then there is duality.
Where there is duality then there is an illusion.
Where there is an illusion then there is form, time, and space.
Where there is, form, time and space there is the world in which you exist.
Remember:~
Where there is no ‘I’ then there is no mind.
Where there is no mind then there is no ignorance.
Where there is no ignorance then there is no duality.
Where there is no duality then there is no illusion.
Where there is an illusion then there is form, time, and space.
Where there is form, time and space then there is no world in which you exist.
The mind, ignorance, duality, illusion, form, time and space, the world in which you exist are present only when ‘I’ is present.
The mind, ignorance, duality, illusion, form, time and space, the world in which you exist are absent when the ‘I’ is absent.
Where there is no there is no world in which you exist then the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness alone exists. When the Soul alone remains in its own awareness is called Self-awareness.
The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Soul is in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self -evident. 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, which is present in the form of the consciousness (spirit), is the ultimate truth or Brahman. The Brahman is God in truth.

Remember:~
Most of the Gurus and Yogis approach was more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the 'I', they take it as real. All their teachings of Advaita is based on the dualistic perspective. They describe marvelously the goal but do not indicate the steps to be taken: their recurring phrases "unified consciousness" and "let go" and "'love alone" are not a road-map. Such teaching will not yield the truth of the whole.
Many Gurus describes to perfection is the awakening to Reality ~the realization that pure Consciousness alone is, that the perpetually fluctuating and evanescent contents of the mind derive from it. This awakening effectively happens in an instant. But in order for the lightning flash to take place, resulting in a firm and unshakable certitude, long labor is necessary, which they seem to underestimate. “Truth is formless is their answer.
Many Guru's teachings seem essentially negative, potent but bitter medicine for those imprisoned by institutional cults. They break the disciple's bonds but then lead him to a vast desert where they abandon him.
The ‘I’ is blocking your realization of truth. The ‘I-centric' teachings have to be discarded in order to realize the Advaitic reality.
The seeker has to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be? The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes in order to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space
That is why Bhagavad Gita says: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole.
Where there is ‘I’ there is ignorance.
Where there is ignorance there is separation.
Where there is a separation there is duality.
Where there is duality there is an illusion.
Where there is illusion there is mind.
Where there is mind there is the universe.
Where there is universe there is waking or dream.
Where there is universe there is waking or dream there is form, time, and space.
Remember:~
Where there is no ‘I’ there is no ignorance.
Where there is no ignorance there is no separation.
Where there is no separation there is no duality.
Where there is no duality there is no illusion.
Where there is no illusion there is no mind.
Where there is no mind there is no universe.
Where there is no universe there is no waking or dream.
Where there is no waking or dream there is no form, time, and space
When there are no divisions of the form, time, and space, there is the Advaitic reality.
Perfect understanding of ‘what is what leads to the realization of Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
Without knowing ‘what mind is in actuality how you can know the consciousness? Playing with words is not spirituality. Consciousness is the cause of the mind and it itself is uncaused.
Preaching teaching is not wisdom. only through perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what leads to the realization of the truth, which is hidden within the form, time, and space and it is without the form, time, and space.
The consciousness is not an object but it’s the subject. Knowledge of both object and subject is ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
