In Spirituality or Adyathma, God means the ultimate truth or ultimate reality or Brahman. Self–realization is truth-realization. Truth-realization is God-realization.
This universe comes forth from the Soul and will return to the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. Verily, all is consciousness. The deepest desire of the seeker is to realize the Self.
Sage Sankara: ~VC~ if the universe is true, let it be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.
That is why Sage Sankara's declaration: ~ “Brahman is the truth the world is unreal everything is truly Brahman and nothing else has any value.
If you are seeking truth, then do not waste time finding a Guru and becoming his slave. The Gurudom belongs to the religious and yogic path and it has nothing to do with the Advaitic path.
Upanishads:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)
There is no need for a Guru, to know you and your Guru, and the world in which you exist is created out of single clay and that single clay is consciousness.
Knowledge of that single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Gnana is given neither from outside nor from another person.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the main aim of every seeker of truth. Since everyone holds the ego as the Self, their aim is misdirected and they focus their attention on materiality which makes one feel the duality (waking) as reality.
In pursuit of truth, the ultimate truth has to be proved, not assumed. The individual experience of bliss is not Brahmic bliss or Atmic bliss.
Individual truth is not a universal truth. The individual cannot claim that he has experienced the Soul, the Self.
The Soul, the Self is the cause of the experience, experiencer, and the world experiencer exists.
There is no proof he has seen it because the Soul is not an individual experience.
Man and the world are within the dualistic illusion or Maya. Therefore, such claims of experiencing the Soul, the Self is merely hallucination because the Soul, the Self cannot be experienced because the Soul is ever nondual.

The experience implies duality. The duality is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
All claims of experiencing (anubava) the 'Self' or Brahman is a falsehood because experience implies duality and duality is falsehood from the ultimate standpoint.
Thus 'Self 'or 'Brahman' cannot be experienced because it is prior to any experience and there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
The 'Self' has to be realized not experienced. Get rid of ignorance through Advaitic wisdom.:~Santthosh

Individual truth is not a universal truth. The individual cannot claim that he has experienced the whole. There is no proof he has seen it because the whole is not an individual experience.
Man and the world are within the whole. Therefore such claims of experiencing the Soul, the Self is mere hallucination because the whole cannot be experienced because the experience of the form, time, and space are merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

Thus 'Soul' or 'Brahman' cannot be experienced because it is prior to any experience and there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness. 'Self' has to be realized by eliminating ignorance through Advaitc wisdom.:~Santthosh Kumaar
