Only ignorance disappears and the unreal nature of the universe is exposed. The universe which appears as the waking experience is a dualistic illusion.+

The universe itself is what God is all about. The totality of the universe is what God is all about. You just study the nature of the universe with all the seriousness and sincerity to unfold the mystery of the universe. That is all you have to do.

Until the mystery of the universe is not solved, the Self hidden by the illusory universe will not be realized. 

Look into the nature of the universe. And you will be able to see that universe by its very nature is illusory. The moment you understand that the universe is illusory, ignorance disappears and Self-awareness arises.

Error in your understanding of non-duality will not yield the ultimate truth. 

It is erroneous to believe the general impression is that the universe disappears to a Gnani, that he sees nothing in Samadhi. Only deluded persons will have such an impression?

Nothing is destroyed. Only ignorance disappears and the unreal nature of the universe is exposed. The universe which appears as the waking experience is a dualistic illusion.

A Gnani has the full and firm conviction that the world in which he exists is nothing but consciousness in the midst of dualistic illusion. The Soul, the Self, being aware of its true nature in the midst of dualistic illusion is called Self-awareness.

The universe or the waking experience will not disappear. It is there always, but the unreal nature of the waking experience is exposed in the midst of dualistic illusion through Advaitic wisdom.

Manduka Upanishad:~ Brahman must be realized in the waking state when all objects are present to consciousness, otherwise, it is nonsense. Page 65: v.10.

If one thinks its mere disappearance in the Yogic Samadhi is the ultimate Truth or Brahman, then he would get it in deep sleep. Thus, the yogic Samadhi is not the Advaitic wisdom. 

The snow is nothing but water, therefore, the water alone is real. Similarly, the universe is nothing but Consciousness, therefore, Consciousness alone is real. 

Remember:~

The universe is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a 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.

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 experience. 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 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 (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

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 Soul, the 'Self' reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready.

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

Remember:~

When 'I' cease to exist there is Mukthi or liberation. So long 'I' is present there is ignorance. Know 'I' as the whole universe and the Soul as the real Self, which is the cause of the universe to realize yourself is not the Self to become jivanmukta.

A Gnani is a jivanmukta because he is free from experiencing the worldly life within the illusory world as a reality.

A Gnani consciously becomes one with the Soul before his physical death whereas the ignorant unconsciously becomes one with the Soul after his death.

A Gnani is the one who has risen to Gnana is liberated from experiencing birth, life, death, and the world as a reality while living in the midst of the world before his physical death.

A Gnani consciously becomes one with the Soul before his physical death whereas the ignorant unconsciously becomes one with the Soul after his death.

Remember:~

Advaitic Moksha is Gnanic Moksha. The Advaitic Moksha is synonymous with Brahman. Shruti says -"brahmavit brahmaiva bhavati" - He who knows Brahman becomes Brahman Itself. It is not as if something that was not Brahman suddenly becomes Brahman. Rather, "realizing Brahman" means the removal of ignorance by realizing the Self is not an individual but the Soul, which pervades everywhere and in everything in the universe.

Thus, to "know Brahman" is to "be Brahman". The one who has realized the Soul, the ‘Self’, which is hidden by the dualistic illusion (Maya), is the jivanmukta, one who is liberated even while embodied. Such realization is possible by acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana itself is the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

The jivanmukta is one who has realized the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion (universe). Gnanic moksha is not a religious propagated moksha. Religious propagated moksha is dualistic.

The religious propagated Moksha is the result of ritual action (karma marga) or of devotional service (bhakti marga).

The religious propagated paths, not the liberation. Gnanic moksha is not a result of anything, for it always exists. All that is required is the removal of ignorance.

Advaitic realization comes only by getting rid of ignorance by perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’

Remember:~

Modern Guru and yogis propagate love, bliss, Samadhi, and grace; all these are valuable in practical life within the practical world.

Practical life within the practical world is a dualistic illusion. In the dualistic illusion, form, time, and space are experienced as a reality. The ultimate truth or Brahman is beyond form, time, and space.

Thus, whoever is intoxicated by dualistic knowledge is unfit to acquire Self -knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is based on the Soul, the Self.

Thus, all dualistic knowledge is useful for practical purposes. In pursuit of truth, dualistic knowledge instead of helping obstructs the realization of the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Thus, it is necessary to realize that religion, yoga, and the other paths and practices based on the waking entity (ego), which is the false Self within the false experience (waking), is false knowledge.

The true path is the path of wisdom, which is based on the formless Soul, the Self.

One has to test the truth in this world, not in the next world. There is no proof other than blind belief based on the scriptures, belief is not the truth.

So, doctrines are not the means to realize the ultimate truth. There is no need to follow them. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
