Religion is built on the false foundation of belief and faith whereas the Spirituality is based on the Spirit the God, which is the cause of the universe in which we exist. +

Religion causes one to become crippled, Self-mortifying, and Self-deprecating is not a religion, but the social system of controlling the populace through psychological deformation and retardation.

One can think only within the waking experience. Therefore, even if one stops thinking he still remains a man without the thoughts.
The thoughts will not form without form, feeling, perception, and mental formation, and consciousness. If one of these things is not there, then the thoughts will not form.
The thoughts will not stop until one becomes aware of the fact that, the Self is formless. It is impossible to get rid of the form without understanding:
What the mind?
‘What is the substance of the mind? ‘
What is the source of the mind?
The formless Soul, the ‘Self’, when known becomes an object. The Soul, when realized, then it becomes consciousness. This is the distinction between knowing and realizing.

Religion is built on the false foundation of belief and faith whereas Spirituality is based on the Spirit the God, which is the cause of the universe in which we exist.

Remember:~

 You are searching for the truth.  But you are ignorant of the fact that God does not reside in temples, churches, synagogues, or mosques.

 Bhagavad Gita: ~ All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many gods. (7- Verse -20)

 First, realize what God is in actuality.  God is the Soul, the Self. No other God can exist other than the Soul, the Self.

 Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24)”,

 In Yajurveda – chapter- 32: ~  God Supreme or Supreme Spirit.

 Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

 The majority of the Indian populace worships sixty million Gods, without even doubting such God is not found in their sacred Vedas. They must realize God in truth not what they believe and worship.

 Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

 Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

 When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

 Remember:~

 Swami Vivekananda: ~ The masses in India cry to sixty million Gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods?

 How can you worship the Absolute? That implies two ~ the worshiper and the worshiped, whereas the Absolute is nondual. One can worship his idea of the Absolute only or realize his unity with it when he can’t worship it as apart.

 Religious rites and rigid ceremonies were passed down from one generation to the next as a practice or set customs and tradition and performed automatically with blind faith. Such worship based on the belief of God does not reach God.

 Religious rites and ceremonies, yagnas, and homa-havans, or any other forms of ritual are meant for the ignorant populace.

 Belief in God without knowing God in actuality holds the worshiper more firmly in the grip of ignorance.

All worship and the ceremonies rituals performed on the base of non-~Vedic Gods will not yield any fruits. Deeper self-search reveals the fact that worshiped, the worship, and the worshiper and the world are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

 Religious rites and ceremonies, yagnas and homa-havans, or any other forms of ritual are meant for the ignorant populace. In the Atmic path, the seeker has to discard what is not needed to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Religious rites and ceremonies, yagnas and homa-havans, or any other forms of ritual formal observance have long since set in. 

Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards are therefore addressed to an ignorant person.

 Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ (11) As regards the rituals, Sage Sri, Sankara says, the person who performs rituals and aspires for rewards will view himself in terms of the caste into which he is born, his age, the stage of his life, his standing in society, etc. In addition, he is required to perform rituals all through his life. However, the Self has none of those attributes or tags. Hence, the person who superimposes all those attributes on the changeless, eternal Self and identifies Self with the body is confusing one for the other; and is, therefore, an ignorant person. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards, etc. are therefore addressed to an ignorant person. -Adhyasa Bhashya

 Thus, only the ignorant populace indulges in rituals and worship of non-Vedic Gods barred by Vedas.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many gods. (7- Verse -20)

 Kena Upanishad (6) Chapter I: ~  “That which cannot be apprehended by the mind, but by which, they say, the mind is apprehended-That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (7) Chapter I:~  That which cannot be perceived by the eye, but by which the eye is perceived-That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (8) Chapter I:~  That which cannot be heard by the ear, but by which the hearing is perceived-That alone know as Brahman and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (9)- Chapter I:~ That which cannot be smelt by the breath, but by which the breath smells an object-That alone know as Brahman and not that which people here worship.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad:~ "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

Humanity has to awaken to the reality of its true existence by realizing the world in which humanity exists is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana frees the Soul, the innermost Self from the cage of the dualistic illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

it is very difficult for you to assimilate non-dualistic truth on a dualistic perspective. +

It is not possible to give a sudden revelation of Advaita in one or two letters, or in an interview or two: a course of personal mental training must be undergone.

Hence reading my blogs and posting umpteen times is necessary to the seeker to make the subconscious Soulcentric.
You, yourself must do the work of realizing Truth by using your own judgment and reason. Nobody else, no guru can do it for you.
Your understanding and your views and judgment are based on the dualistic perspective and the truth is based on the nondualistic perspective. So, it is very difficult for you to assimilate nondualistic truth from a dualistic perspective.
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.
The seekers who will approach with receptiveness as they should be approached may conceivably pause at any time and say, these pointers are helping them to think on their own and assimilate Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and understanding it properly and perfectly.

Remember:~
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world (from, time and space) observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the form, time, and space (world) will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the form, time, and space (world) that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the form, time, and space (world) as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees form, time, and space as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that there is no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric observation has to be discarded to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which we exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is real and eternal.
One sees many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can he, therefore, say that there are no stars in the sky during the day?
The world in which you exist hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. The world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.
One is unaware of the Soul, the Self, due to ignorance. The Soul or consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is the true Self
Consciousness is hidden within the world in which you exist. Until one thinks of his body as a body, ego as ego the universe as the universe he remains in ignorance because he is still in ignorance and he is unaware of the fact that they too are consciousness.
Consciousness is not an object, as it is invisible, beyond the reach of the eyes. It is not another. It is all-full, infinite, changeless, Self-existent, Self-delight, Self-knowledge. It is the essence. It is the essence of the knower. It is the formless substance and Witness of the dualistic illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

You may speak upon your accumulated knowledge are mental Garbage.You cannot establish in the ‘Self’ unless you forget all. +

 


Ashtavakra:~There is no wisdom whatsoever in the scriptures-just a collection of words.

I only highlighted scriptural insights which point to the ultimate reality. what is not helpful in the pursuit of truth has to be discarded. 
 
The seeker should not bother about finding the meaning of what is written in the scriptures.

Do not indulge in arguing from your own standpoint holding your accumulated knowledge as a yardstick that is pointless. 

Instead, read, reason, and reflect on the subject, which is the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara to get rid of ignorance.

Sage Sankara restrained himself parting the Advaitic wisdom or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to the mass and only a selected few. It was hidden from the people who were not qualified and receptive to it.

Advaitic wisdom or Self’ - knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.

Religion was given to the mass, and knowledge of the Spirit is given to only a selected few. Thus, we find traces of the knowledge of the spirit in the religious books in the form of parables.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ “Advaita encompasses everything. Since Advaita requires heavy-duty intellectualism, it had to be progressively simplified. (From 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda)

Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not based on any teaching or teacher. The pursuit of truth is a pursuit of verification not a pursuit of an argument. The discussion is a great hindrance to the pursuit of truth.

That which is unreal, that is duality, cannot contradict the truth of non-duality. It cannot be counted as an adversary of non-duality. 

The illusion cannot, 'oppose' the substratum, reality. It can at best lead to the mistaking of the substratum. Perfect understanding is the only way to overcome ignorance.

Upanishads and the Advaitic Sages say the scriptures are not needed in pursuit of truth.

The ultimate truth has to be ascertained without the scriptures by realizing the Self is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the Self is formless Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.

In the realm of truth, form, time, and space are created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Realizing the single stuff as the ultimate truth is Self-realization or truth realization. To realize this truth there is no need for the scriptures.

The ultimate truth has to be realized first then only it is possible to know what the scriptures are saying.:

You may speak upon your accumulated knowledge or mastered scriptural knowledge but they are mental Garbage. But you cannot establish in the ‘Self’ unless you forget all.

Remember:~

Your understanding and your views and judgment are based on the dualistic perspective and the truth is based on the non-dualistic perspective. So, it is very difficult for you to assimilate the non-dualistic truth from the dualistic perspective. 

I can point at the sky, but the seeing of the star is the seeker's own work. 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 of wisdom 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.


The seekers who will approach with receptiveness as they should be approached may conceivably pause at any time and say, these pointers are helping them to think on their own and assimilate the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and understanding it in a proper and perfect way.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world (from, time and space) observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the form, time, and space (world) will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the form, time, and space (world) that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the form, time, and space (world) as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees form, time, and space as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that there is no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric observation has to be discarded realize the ultimate truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

There is nothing to realize other than realizing the universe in which we exist is created out single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness is real and eternal.

All my blogs and postings are the verified truth. As one goes on reading, all his doubts and confusion will start clearing. It takes time to be receptive to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because it is the Soulcentric knowledge whereas all accumulated knowledge is egocentric.

I am highlighting all the obstacles in the inner journey and how to overcome these obstacles. All accumulated knowledge is of no use in the path of wisdom.

It is for every seeker, who is in the path of wisdom to realize himself “What is the truth, “and “What is untruth?” to assimilate the Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. My postings are only signposts. The seeker's needs to reflect constantly on the subject until the cobwebs of his doubts and confusion get cleared.


It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the innermost Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

The inner Sage will guide you with love. Your sincerity and seriousness lead you to the inner core.

As you keep reading the old posts and also the new posts you will find answers to all your doubts and confusion.

As you try to find answers independently, the inner revelation will start and you will be able to move on your own.


Atmic path is not a question and answers session. Atmic path is not the path exchange views and opinion. I have bifurcated what is not needed to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.


The true seeker with all the humility must use language without the words and try to discriminate between real and unreal to realize the truth hidden by the ‘I’ (universe). 

Everyone has not got the capacity to know Truth very few have: but some among these few are so sharp that they have only to hear it explained by proper guidance when they grasp it at once. They have only to stabilize their illumination.


You, yourself must do the work of realizing Truth by using your own judgment and reason. Nobody else, no guru can do it for you.:~Santthosh Kumaar

Religion blocks one from realizing God in truth because religion is based on myth whereas Spirituality is based on the truth.+



Religion blocks one from realizing God in truth because religion is based on myth whereas Spirituality is based on the truth.

God in truth is not based on your inherited blind faith or belief. The Religions are based on personal God whereas Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). God is above all needs and desires. God is always the Witnessing Subject. God can never become an object as God is beyond the reach of the senses. God is non-dual, one without a second. God has no other beside it. God is destitute of difference, either external or internal. God cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. God cannot be distinguished from any other than God. In God, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Svarupa of God, and not just God's attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.

The Soul, the Self is unborn and undifferentiated consciousness is  Brahman or God in truth.

The Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.

The Vedas bar polytheism thus, it proves that Hinduism believes in polytheism is not Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma.

Hindus believed in polytheism, believing all of their Gods to be separate individuals, which were introduced much later by the founders of Hinduism which contains diverse beliefs caste, and creed.

The Vedas bar polytheism thus, it proves that Hinduism believes in polytheism is not ancient Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many gods. (7- Verse -20)

The Vedas confirm God is Atman or Spirit or consciousness is Brahman or God.

Rig Veda: ~ Prajnanam Brahma: - Consciousness is the ultimate reality.

Rig Veda: 1.164.46: ~ Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti” -” The Reality (Truth or God) is One.

Rig Veda 1/164/46: ~ “They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, or the heavenly sunbird Garutmat. The seers call in many ways that which is One; they speak of Agni, Yama, Matarishvan.

Rig Veda 8/58/2: ~ Only One is the Fire, enkindled in numerous ways; only One is the Sun, pervading this whole universe; only One is the Dawn, illuminating all things. In very truth, the One has become the whole world.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Rig Veda declares God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why believe and worship in place of real God.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32: ~  God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

Vedas itself says: May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman? Thus, to know the real God Self-realization is necessary. Self-realization is God-realization. Self-realization itself is real worship.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Religion makes it complicated to realize the God in truth hidden by the ignorance obscures from human vision.

People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that the world was created by God. But how do they know that God did so?

In Brahma Sutra Sage Sankara takes the position that there is another entity outside us, i.e. the wall really exists separately from the mind. This is, because, Sage  Sankara explains in Manduka that those who study the Sutras are religious minds, intellectual children, hence his popular viewpoint to assist them. These people are afraid to go deeper because it means being heroic enough to refuse to accept Shruti, and God's authority, in case they mean punishment by God.

Sage Sankara says: Keep the scriptures for children but throw them on the fire for wise seekers.

In Brahma Sutras Sage Sankara takes for granted, assumes that the world was created: He there mixes dogmatic theology with philosophy.

That God created the world is an absolute lie; nevertheless, you will find Sage Sri, Sankara (in his commentary on Vedanta Sutras) clearly says this! He has to adapt his teachings to his audience, reserving the highest for the philosophical mindset.

The text of Brahma Sutras is based on religion, dogmatism, but in the commentary Sankara cleverly introduced some philosophy. If it is objected that a number of Upanishads are equally dogmatic because they also begin by assuming Brahman, but a few Upanishads do not but prove Brahman at the end of a train of proof.

The causality and creation, but are for religious people only. Religion is only for those who are unable to understand truth beyond form, time, and space. 

Religion is not final. It only gives satisfaction to the populace. The Self - knowledge is for the whole of humanity to free them from experiencing birth, life, death, and the world as reality.

People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that the world was created by God. But how do they know that God did so? When a pot is created, one can see both pot and its maker, but not in the case of the world.

Hence, in Vivekachoodamani Sage Sankara says:~V-63- Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can go only by an inquiry into the nature of the external world.

The seeker has to begin his analysis with the world first, not with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The world in which you exist,  consciousness is the finality. A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as the consciousness." But to know this they must be examined and studied.

The yogi does not care to know about the world" and for a Gnani nothing remains to be known for him because he is fully aware of the fact that the universe in which he exists is nothing but an illusion created out of the consciousness.

The Pundits do not know the true nature of the world in which we exist. Scriptures deal only with the Objects, not with the Witness of the objects.

If one starts with the idea that Samsara (universe) exists, he can never see the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, because Samsara (world) is an illusion and only ignorant people read it as a reality.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. The waking becomes unreal when you realize the ‘Self is not you but the Soul.+



Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the mate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as Brahman (Truth)ani other than consciousness.

Rig Veda:~ Prajnanam Brahma:~Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman(God). 

The world in which we exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.


Remember:~

Consciousness is existence, one without the second. Everything is consciousness.

The life within a dream is a reality with the dream. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when you realize the ‘Self is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

If the waking is unreal then your experience of birth, life, death, and the world within the waking experience also is unreal (illusion).

The question is based on the waking entity (you or ego). Whatever is based on the waking entity (ego) is based on the dualistic perspective.

You have to learn to view the worldview from the non-dualistic perspective then only you will be able to have the Soulcentric view of the worldview.

In Advaitic Self-awareness, the ego is not considered as ego, even though the ego is present, the body is not considered as a body even though the body is present, the world which confronts him is not considered as world even though the world is present, the duality ceases even though the duality is present, because of wisdom, everything is considered as consciousness. Thus there is conscious oneness.

Only in ignorance,  the world in which we are an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self.

The world is both real and unreal. It is real because it is the manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the world, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.

Remember:~

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed, and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

The world in which we exist is nothing but an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The whole universe is nothing but the Soul. Therefore, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

It is not as if something that was not consciousness suddenly becomes consciousness. Rather, "knowing the truth” means the removal of ignorance about one's own existence as consciousness. Thus, to "know the truth” is to "be  consciousness."

Consciousness is ever-present. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. Consciousness is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny consciousness, because it is the very essence of the one who denies it.

Consciousness is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. Consciousness is everything. Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara:~ If you give up the external world in your inquiry, you cannot get the whole truth.+



With a firm foot first, inquire into the nature of the universe that confronts you, do not fly to the Atman, the Self.

Sage Sankara says you must first know what is before you. If you cannot know that, what else can you know or understand? If you give up the external world in your inquiry, you cannot get the whole truth.

The mind rises from the formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The sense of ‘I’ rises as the mind. The mind is in the form of the universe. Thus, ‘I’ is the mind or the universe. The universe appears as the waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep. 

Holding a sense of ‘I’ limited to the ego is the cause of separation. It makes one feel, he is an individual separate from the world and world that existed prior to him, and he is born inafterwardards. Until one has this conviction, it is very difficult to grasp non-dualdual truth.

Thus, it is necessary to realize the Self is not the ‘I’ but the Self is the witness of the ‘I'.

It is the ‘I’ which is a botheration. the seeker has to first investigate the nature of the ‘I’. Without investigating what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality, the truth of our existence will not be revealed.

As we go deeper in self-search, we become aware of the fact that: ~

The ‘I’ is not limited to an individual because ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is not within the body because the mind is the whole universe.

Thinking the mind is within the body is an error. First, know what is mind. The mind is not within the body. The form, time, and space togetarer is mind. Without form, time, and space the mind ceases to exist. Without the form, time, and space the world in which you exist ceases to exist. Without the world in which you exist the waking ceases to exist. Without waking the ‘I’ ceases to exist.

Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is very much necessary to unfold the mastery of the ‘I’.

The mind is present only when the ‘I’ is present and the mind is absent when the ‘I’ is absent. Thus, it is necessary to accept the ‘I’ as the mind.

The mind is present only when the universe is present therefore it is necessary to accept the mind is the universe.

The universe is present only when the waking is present therefore it is necessary to accept the universe as the whole waking experience.

The waking is a parallel dream and the dream is a parallel waking experience.

The individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is happening within the waking experience.

As we go much deeper investigation  ‘I’,  we become aware of the fact that: ~

The ‘I’ disappears in deep sleep.

Without the ‘I’ there is no trace of the mind.

Without the mind, there is no trace of the universe.

Without the universe, there is no trace of waking.

Without waking, there is no trace of form, time, and space.

Without form, time, and space there is no trace of the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

Without the individual experience of birth, life and death, and the world it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The formless, timeless, and spaceless existence is the nature of the Soul the Self.

The Soul is the Self. When you negate the ‘I’ by Neti / Neti the Soul alone remains as the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

Ashtavakra Gita: ~ “The universe rises from the Soul, the Self like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."

Sage Sri, Sankara says: ~ Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman (Gnani), followed by reflection, and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

The seeker should personally strive by using the power of Soul-Centric reasoning to be free from the bondage of the dualistic illusion.

The seeker of truth should be aware of everything that is untrue: the stick to the truth and he shall succeed, maybe slowly, but surely.: ~Santthosh Kumaar
