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
