The wisdom of the Advaitic Gurus of the east and west that are being followed by people is not the real Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. Many Advaitic Gurus of the east and west have altered his words, added their own teachings based on imagination and spoiled them.
Sage Sankara's work has got two aspects: the dualistic perspective and the nondualistic perspective. The dualistic perspective for those who take the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality and nondualistic perspective for those who are seeking the truth of their true existence.
There are two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the more advanced seeker who seeks to know the ultimate truth or Brahman.
The Guru and Guru Paramparas are meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, there is no need to follow any parampara and follow any Guru those who wish to realize the truth which is hidden by the illusory form, time and space.
We should not mix religion with spirituality because the religion is based on the ego and spirituality is based on the Soul. The religion is concerned with its paramparas, not truth whereas the spirituality is concerned only with the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space. Religion is not spirituality.
Imparting the Advaitic wisdom to the unprepared mind sent would be ‘equivalent to giving sermons to the stone statues.
Everyone is not ripe enough to understand, assimilate the Nondualistic or Advaitic truth. Some people want to exhibit their intellectual wealth, but it has no value in the pursuit of truth.
The seeker must have enough patience, humility, and an intense urge to know the truth. Arguments and provocation will not yield truth.
Perfect understanding of ‘what is what ‘leads to the realization of Nondualistic or Advaitic truth. As the seekers understanding of ‘what is what ‘grows, gradually the seeker gets the glimpse of truth. Whatever is based on the waking entity is falsehood and whatever is based on the formless Soul, the innermost Self is real and eternal.
Thus, it is necessary for the seeker of truth to make sure the waking entity (ego) is not the Self but the Self is Soul to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The seeker has to have an inner urge to know the truth seriousness, patience, and humility in order to reach the ultimate end of understanding.
A man of truth will not indulge in any argument he keeps his distance with such a mindset.
There is nothing to realize the world in which you exist is created out of the Spirit the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.
Consciousness is the root element of the universe. The consciousness is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. From the Soul, the universe comes into existence. In the Soul, the universe resides. In addition, into the Soul the universe dissolves. The Soul is the parent of all that is there is.
Rest in consciousness, by realizing the universe in which you exist is nothing but the consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
