Religious people believe the Karma theory is a universal theory. The Karma theory is a religious and yogic fable.+

From the Advaitic perspective, the Karma theory has no value.  Karma is based on birth entity whereas the Soul, the unborn eternal has no karma. 

Sage Sankara says clearly, the universe is not real. He says that Brahman and Atman are one. The Ultimate and the Absolute Truth is the 'Self', which is one though appearing as many in different individuals. The individual has no reality. Only the ‘‘Self’’ is Real; the rest, mental and physical are but passing appearances, then it indicates the form (waking) is unreal the formless is real (Soul). Therefore, only Atman is real because there is no second thing other than Atman.

Sage Sankara also clearly mentions that:- The path of religion, the theory of Karma, the path of yoga, and the path of wisdom were intended for different classes of people. The wisdom is for the advanced seekers of truth. It deals with the nature of the ultimate truth or the ultimate Reality. It is meant for superior aspirants who have an inner urge to know the truth and it is not for those who are immersed in earthly desires.

Remember:~

Karma (Action) will not dispel ignorance itself. Karma itself is based on ignorance Only Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana will destroy ignorance.

Sage Goudpada says: ~ The merciful Veda teaches Karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

It means the people who follow religion and worship of Gurus and conceptual God and believe in karma theory are lower and middling intellect. In this modern world, people are sharp enough to understand and assimilate the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. Thus, it is high time to discard the lower knowledge and move ahead to realize the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God in truth.

Religious people believe the Karma theory is a universal theory. The Karma theory is a religious and yogic fable.

The Karma theory is a universal theory for those who believe the dualistic illusion as a reality. Karma is a reality only for those who believe the false self (ego or you) as the real 'Self' and the false experience (waking or universe) as a reality.

The Karma theory is a reality for those who believe the experience, the form, time, and space as a reality. Karma theory is a reality for those who believe in an individualized God. The Karma theory is a reality for those who believe in the experience of birth, life, death, and rebirth, and the world as a reality.

The Karma performed in the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking karma becomes unreal when wisdom dawns. The karma theory is a universal theory when karma is limited to waking experience alone.

The wisdom dawns when you (doer of Karma) realize you are not the 'Self, but the 'Self' is the formless Soul. Thus, all theories based on you (form) are a falsehood because, the Soul, the innermost 'Self' is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

If the 'Self' is not the waking entity but the 'Self' is the formless Soul then how anyone can accept the theory of Karma, which is based on false 'Self' within the false experience.

Thus, whatever theories are based on the false self (waking entity or ego) and false experience (waking or the world) is bound to be a falsehood.

Karma is a reality only for those who are stuck with the reality of the practical life within the practical world because they have accepted the world in which they exist as a reality.

Without knowing what witnesses the coming and going, of the three states how can one say the Karma theory is a universal theory when karma is limited to waking experience alone.

If the 'Self' is not you (waking entity) but the 'Self' is formless Soul then how anyone can accept the theory of Karma, which is based on false self within the false experience.

Thus, whatever theories are based on the false 'Self' (waking entity or you) and false experience (waking or the world) is bound to be a falsehood.

Karma is a reality only for those who are stuck with the reality of the practical life within the practical world because they have accepted the world as reality.

What is the doer, what is the enjoyer, what is a cessation of thought and rising of thought, what is immediate perception and its result, to the Soul, the  'Self', the ever impersonal?

What is the world, what is meant by the aspirant for liberation; what is the contemplative man and what is a man of knowledge; what is bondage and what is liberation to the 'Self',  which is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

What is Prarabdha Karmas, what is even liberation in life, and what is that and where is liberation at death for the Soul, the 'Self', which is ever attributeless?

The nearest state to understand the Soul by itself is to eliminate the whole waking experience, as in deep sleep. Once this is grasped one has to understand that the three states are Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, that Soul or consciousness is the 'Self'.

Whether the Karma theory existed prior to Buddhism is not the question. Karma theory is based on form, time, and space whereas the ultimate truth or Brahman is based on formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. Thus, one has to decide whether the 'Self' is the form or 'Self' is nondual. If 'Self' is the form then Karma theory has value but if the 'Self' is formless then the karma theory has no value.

Deeper-self’-search reveals the fact that the Karma theory is meant for those who are immersed in worldly life thinking of the individual life within the particle world as a reality. In the Atmic path, the Karma theory becomes a great obstacle in realizing the truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara says: ~ Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go.+

Sage Sankara says: ~ VC-162- There is no liberation for a person of mere book knowledge, howsoever well-read in the philosophy of Vedanta, so long as one does not give up the false identification with the body, sense organs, etc., which are unreal.

People dwelling in ignorance, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round by various blind beliefs and tortuous paths and practices, like the blind led by the blind.

Sage Sankara says: ~ V.63 ~ "Without knowing and examining the external world, one can’t know 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.

To say the universe is an illusion without first examining it and inquiring into its nature thoroughly is to delude oneself. This world is common to every one of us; therefore the seeker of truth must begin his inquiry with it. It is only after he has inquired into the nature of the objective world, he realizes the universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but the Soul which is present in the form of the consciousness is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.

It is erroneous to believe the general impression is that the universe disappears to a Gnani, that he sees nothing in Samadhi. Only by 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.

Remember:~

A Gnani has the full and firm conviction that everything is consciousness in the midst of dualistic illusion.  The Soul, 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.

 If one thinks its mere disappearance in 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. Thoughtlessness is not Advaitic wisdom.

Thoughtlessness is not wisdom. The thinker thought and the world is part of the illusion. The thought will not arise without form, time, and space. The form, time and space will not arise without the mind. The mind ceases to exist without the Soul which is in the form of the Spirit. Therefore, there is a need to know the “Self” is not limited to the physical entity (you), but it pervades everything and everywhere in the experience of diversity (waking or dream). 

The deep sleep is the state of thoughtlessness, silence, wordlessness, silence but it is not considered as the state of oneness because anyone can take a sleeping pill and will be able to get a state of oneness. 

Thus, trying to imitate the state of oneness in duality by observing silence, thoughtlessness, wordlessness or by Yogic Samadhi or surrendering to the physical Guru, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Without the Advaitic wisdom, ignorance will not vanish. Thus, getting rid of ignorance through wisdom is the only way to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.   : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Without the subject there is no object. Subject can stay without the object whereas the object is fully dependent on the subject.+

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation.

Chandogya Upanishad:~ One who meditates upon and realizes the 'Self' discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the Self.

Those who lack the intelligence to discriminate between the subject and the object will not be able to grasp what is real and what is unreal. Both subject and object are the consciousness, not subject alone.

The subject is the Soul, the Spirit and the object is the ‘I’ the matter. The Soul, the Self is the Spirit. The Soul, the Self is the subject. The ‘I’ the universe is the matter. 

Unless you realize ‘what is the subject?’ and ‘what is the object’? you will never be able to unfold the mystery hidden by the ‘I’.

You have been misled by the eastern and western Advaitic Gurus and their ‘I-centric teachings you are unable to grasp the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’. The ‘Self hidden by the ‘I’ means the Spirit hidden by the matter. Remember the eastern and western Advaitic Gurus and their ‘I-centric teachings are not Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. 

Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper enquiry will not lead a person to the final goal. On the contrary, such acceptance will result only in evil, in something which is detrimental to our spiritual progress. 

Unless you drop all eastern and western Advaitic Gurus and their ‘I-centric teachings you will not be able to acquire the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara who is the founder of the Advaitic wisdom.

Being means a thing is. How do you know this world exists? How do you know that you exist in this world? It is the ‘Self; the witness that gives you the idea of being in the world. Apart from the Soul, the Self you never realize that there is such a thing as being.

The first step is to distinguish between the real and the unreal.  That is to know about the dual and nondual experience.  The seeker has to discriminate between real and unreal. It means separating the subject from the object through deeper analysis.

Remember:~ 

The real is the subject and the unreal is an object. The Advaitic Gurus of the east and west cannot think of the subject because they are unaware of the fact that the subject is hidden by the object.  Unless you drop

Without the subject, there is no object.  The subject can stay without the object whereas the object is fully dependent on the subject for its existence because the object is nothing but an illusion created out of the subject.

The subject contained in the object. The consciousness cannot be apart from the object because the object is merely an illusion. Thus, the objective illusion has no value because it is non-existent without consciousness.

People regard objects as a reality because they are ignorant have no idea of a subject and hence never seek it.  From the Advaitic perspective, the object is also regarded as the subject because the object is nothing but an illusion created out of the subject.

The ice will not form without the water, the cloud will not for without the water, similarly the world, in which you exist cease to exist without the consciousness.

The world, in which you exist, is created out of single stuff.  The Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The world in which we exist is an object to the Soul, which is the formless subject.   The object is created out of the subject. In reality, the subject and object are one, in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, the world in which we exist is nothing but consciousness, which is the subject. Thus, the subject alone is real and eternal, the world in which we exist is merely an illusion.

From the Standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, there is neither the object nor the subject, there is unity in diversity. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

By regulating the thoughts or by regulating the breath, it is impossible to get Self-realization.+

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.

Sage Sankara:~  The vital- air-Sheath cannot be the Self because it is the modification of air (Vayu). Like air, it enters the body and goes out of it never knowing the joy and sorrow like others. It is ever dependent on the Self.  ~VC~165-166

Breath, body, and the world are one in essence. That essence is formless consciousness.   The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the innermost Self.  Breath, body, and the world are part and parcel of the illusion. By holding the breath (vital force) as the Self, one cannot get rid of the ignorance. Without getting rid of ignorance wisdom will not dawn. Wisdom dawns only when one realizes the form, time and space are one in essence.

The 'Self' does not breathe because it is formless. The Self is not a thinker because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless. By regulating the thoughts or by regulating the breath, it is impossible to get Self-realization. 

The Self is not the thinks and the one which breaths. You are the thinker. You are the breather. The Self is not you, but the Self is the one which witnesses you and the world together. Therefore, it is erroneous to say ‘I AM THIS’ or ‘I AM THAT’ because the ‘I’ itself is an illusion. Thus, it is necessary to know ‘What is ‘I’? to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Remember:~ 

If you are caught in the grip of the ‘I’ then you will remain permanently in the grip of ignorance. If you hold the Self as ‘I’ you will never be able to cross the dualistic illusion.    If you follow the ‘I’ based teaching it is like the blind leading the blind

If you inquire   “Who am ‘I’?  the ‘I’ will not disappear. You must know the nature of the ‘I’, which appears and disappears.

The Soul is the witness of the ‘I’ which is permeant and eternal. The Soul is the subject and the ‘I’ is an object.

The ‘I’ hides the Soul. Therefore, the seeker has to realize ‘what is this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality

If the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the Soul then from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self: ~

Where is the ‘I’?

Where is the ego?

Where is the body?

Where is the mind?

Where is the world in which you exist?

Where are the form, time, and space?

Where is the waking experience?

Where is the duality?

Where is void?

They are or have become one with the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present only when the world is present. The world is present only when there is the waking experience.

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience is not considered different from the world. The world is not considered different from the mind. The mind is not considered different from the’ I’. This truth has to be assimilated.

The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. ‘I’ is not the subject. The ‘I’ is an object to the Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then three states, are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.

If I’ is an illusion then the individual experience of birth, life, death is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the words and thoughts are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the duality is bound to be an illusion.

The seeker has to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be? The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, which is the cause of the illusory universe. 

People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "I," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. is no need to convince such mindsets. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.  : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

It is not God who made it difficult to realize God. It is the man who made it difficult to realize God by introducing the new ideas of Gods through religion.+

It is not God who made it difficult to realize God. It is the man who made it difficult to realize God by introducing the new ideas of God through religion and its theories.   

Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the politicians as useful.  

Ultimate Truth or Brahman or God is very simple. It is very difficult to realize because it is lost in the dualistic knowledge we inherited, collected from different sources, different masters’ different gurus, different philosophies, different ideologies, different books, and scriptures. All this accumulated knowledge is a mere hill of Garbage.

Nothing is needed other than realizing the knowledge of the single stuff. The single stuff is the cause of the world in which we exist. And that single stuff itself is causeless. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

The Soul is the Self. Knowledge of the Soul, the Self, is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Atma Gnana is knowledge of God in truth. 

Realizing God in this very life is your goal. God-realization itself is real worship.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed. Only an intense urge to know the truth, humility sincerity, and patience are the only qualifications to realize God in this very life and in this very world.

Remember:~

All your religious-based accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.  Be more rational in your thinking. Your religious conditioning will not allow you to cross the domain of the ‘I’.  Till you hold all the religious ideas the Soul will remain in the cage of ignorance.    

Drop your entire accumulated knowledge drop all the physical Gurus, the Soul the inner Guru, is waiting for you to take the first step for you to realize there are no more steps.

You will realize you, your body, and your experience of the world is nothing but consciousness.  

Thus, you will realize that God (Soul) is the fullness of consciousness. Everything is God nothing but God. Do not waste time attending sermons and Satsang. Real Satsanga is reflecting on Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

All my writings are an inner revelation to show the truth hidden under the garbage of religion and theories, beliefs, and ideology. There is no need to condemn religion, theories, beliefs, and ideology, but the seeker’s aim is to drop what is not the truth and accept only the truth beyond form, time, and space. 

Whatever belongs to form, time and space is not the truth because the nature of the Soul is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

If you believe in the religious belief of God then you are holding the false God as the real God. Check yourself what God is supposed to be according to your own holy books.  

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

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is. 

The real God is stolen by ignorance and people worship ignorance as God because the religion propagated false God as real God.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ “The masses in India cry to sixty million Gods, and still die like dogs. Where are these Gods? (In San Francisco, on May 28, 1900, of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 1)

Religion breeds superstition because religion is based on blind belief. Whatever is based on blind belief is superstition.

God in truth is not a belief. One must know God in truth. Without knowing what God supposed to be in actuality worshipping belief of God is superstition.

Worshipping superstitious Gods barred by Vedas. Know what God is supposed to be according to Vedas Upanishads Bhagavad Gita and Bible.

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

Only the path of wisdom leads the seeker of truth on his journey to the ultimate realization of the true nature of the Universal Essence, which is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge of Self, the knowledge of Atman, worships ‘Self’ as~ Atman (God) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."

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. 

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

Even 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)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "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)

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(God), 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(God), and not that which people here worship.

Kena Upanishad (1) Chapter II:~ If you think: "I know Brahman well," then surely you know but little of Its form; you know only Its form as conditioned by man or by the Gods. Therefore Brahman, even now, is worthy of your inquiry.

Kena Upanishad (2) Chapter II:~ The disciple said: I think I know Brahman. The disciple said: I do not think I know It well, nor do I think I do not know It. He among us who knows the meaning of "Neither do I not know nor do I know"-knows Brahman(God).

Kena Upanishad (3) Chapter II:~He by whom Brahman is not known, knows It; he by whom It is known, knows It not. It is not known by those who know It; It is known by those who do not know It.

Kena Upanishad (4) Chapter II:~Brahman (God) is known when It is realized in every state of mind; for by such Knowledge, one attains Immortality. By Atman one obtains strength; by Knowledge, Immortality.

Kena Upanishad (5) Chapter II:~ If a man knows Atman here, he then attains the true goal of life. If he does not know It here, great destruction awaits him. Having realized the Self in every being, the wise relinquish the world and become immortal.

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

Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self. Advaita is the Soul itself. Advaita is the Soul, God. Advaita is another word for God, which is second to none.

That is why Sage Sankara,  VC-  v6~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity with the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together.

Sage Sankara goes on to say: ~A sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman.” Brahman must be realized. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely noise. Until a man has destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying “I am a king.”

Sage Sankara says:~   A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.

The Atmic path is not for religious and yogic-minded people. Religious and yogic people must move on their chosen path. The Atmic path is for only seekers of truth who are seriously searching the truth of their own existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Soul appears as the universe (duality) in waking and the universe disappears as the Soul is deep sleep (nonduality).+

The Soul appears as the universe (duality) in waking and the universe disappears as the Soul is in deep sleep (nonduality).

In reality, appearance and disappearance are an illusion.  The illusion has no value the Soul alone is real and eternal.

The Soul is changeless and eternal.  The reality is hidden by the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is present in the form of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the form, time, and space.  The form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe.  The universe appears as waking (duality) and disappears into a deep sleep (nonduality).

People who are stuck up with the creation creator theory are unaware of the fact that they are worshipping the creation as God, not the creator.

The causality and creation, but these 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 the illusory birth, life, death, and the world as a reality.

Yoga Vasistha: ~  “The sun and the worlds become non-objects of perception, to those who have gone beyond the realm of objective perception and knowledge, even as lamps lose their luminosity while the mid-day sun shines.

From the standpoint of the formless Soul the innermost ‘Self, the effect is non-different from the cause. However, in the realm of duality cause is different from the effect. The non-difference of the effect from the cause has to be grasped perfectly to realize from the ultimate standpoint there is neither the cause nor the effect because the cause and effect are one, in essence. That essence is consciousness.

Sage Sankara says: - If the cause is destroyed, the effect will no longer exist. For example, if from the effect, cotton cloth, the cause, threads, are removed, there will be no cloth, i.e., the cloth is destroyed. Similarly if in the effect, thread, the cause, cotton, is removed, there will be no thread, i.e., the thread is destroyed. (Brahmasutra Bhashya, commentary on the Brahma-sutra, ⁽⁹⁾ 2.1.9)

Despite the non-difference between cause and effect, the effect has itself in the cause but not the cause in the effect. The effect is of the nature of the cause and not the cause of the nature of the effect. Therefore the qualities of the effect cannot touch the cause because the cause and effect are present only when the duality is present. The duality is present only when there is an illusion. The illusion is there only when there is ignorance. 

When there is no ignorance then there is no illusion. When there is no illusion then there is no duality. When there is no duality then there is no cause and effect. When there is no cause and effect then there is the nondual reality.   

Sage Sankara says: - During the time of its existence, one can easily grasp that the effect is not different from the cause. However that the cause is different from the effect is not readily understood. As to this, it is not really possible to separate cause from effect. But this is possible by imagining so. For example, the reflection of the gold ornament seen in the mirror is only the form of the ornament but is not the ornament itself as it (the reflection) has no gold in it at all. (Chandogya Upanishad Bhashya, commentary on the Chandogya Upanishad, 6.3.2)

All names and forms are real when seen with the Brahman but are false when seen independent of Brahman (Soul).

This way the seeker of truth establishes the non-difference of the effect from the cause.

Remember:~

In the context of Advaita Vedanta: ~ Jagat (the world) is not different from Brahman (Soul); however, Brahman (Soul) is different from Jagat.

It has not been possible to preach Advaitic Truth entirely free from the settings of dualistic weakness it has not been more operative and useful to mankind at large because only a few will be able to grasp and realize it.

'To realize the Advaitic Truth a freer and fuller scope the seeker has to realize the form, time and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. And the Soul the Self is present in the form of consciousness. 

 

To realize the Advaitic truth the seeker has to be free from all superstitions and orthodox contaminations. The seeker has to be dedicated to acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana   alone.'

A  Gnani will easily appreciate the high flights of Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is one of the 'most majestic structures and valuable products of the Genius of man in his search for Truth.

All the misery is of the dualistic illusion (world), which is experienced as a reality. Why worship anything of the creation (illusion) as God when the creator of the illusion is the ‘Soul,’ the  ‘Self’. The Soul is nothing to do with the creation because creation is merely an illusion, the illusion has no value, from the standpoint of the Soul, the  Self.   In the realm of the Soul, there is neither creator nor creation but it is only a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

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

 Then there is the question which nobody has answered till now, viz. Why did God create all these evils, these sufferings? Even a father would never do that. If He did so, assuming that God did create, then what sort of an evil God is He! All religions which begin with "God created the world," are fit only for children. It is a lie; it is inconsistent and fit only for ignorant people.

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  Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
