Brihad Upanishad says: ~ “Every man says “I know.” What does he know?+

In the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness in and upon which the universe appears. Superimposed like the snake on a rope. The whole universe is reduced as the Soul in deep sleep.

All the success or failure one experiences in this world, whatever suffering and pleasure one experiences in this world are nothing but an illusory play played by the Soul, the ‘Self’.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theater, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.

From the dualistic perspective, the world in which we are born, live and die is a reality. The pain and pleasure we experience as an individual is a reality within the world in which we exist, but we are unaware of the fact that the world in which we exist is an illusion created out of single clay and that single clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. The knowledge of the single clay is the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara.

One may be poor or wealthy, but he focuses on becoming more and wealthier in order to enjoy his life and look after master his family. Those who fail to become wealthy accept their life how it comes. Non-stop pursuing of wealth and immersing worldly enjoyment will not give him lasting satisfaction. Human life is the time-bound package. The journey starts at birth and ends at death.

People never bother to inquire about the nature of the world to realize their individual experience of the birth, life and death is a reality within the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Brihad Upanishad says: ~ “Every man says “I know.” What does he know?

Those who try to know the truth of their true existence ended up with ‘WHO AM ‘I’? Without reaching anywhere. They thought, ‘WHO AM ‘I? - inquiry is final.

When one is unable to quench his spiritual thirst from his Guru or teaching, he has to look elsewhere to clear the cobwebs of his understanding and to move forward in his spiritual quest.

It is no use in arguing with someone who has faith in his belief system because for him there can be no possible refutation of what he believes, so rational argument is entirely useless. He clings to his belief, so strongly that he makes no distinction between the truth and his belief.

One has to know the fact that God cannot exist without his existence. The truth does not depend on Gods’ existence, but it entirely depends on man’s existence. Thus, it is foolish to venture into knowing the truth of God's existence without verifying the facts about his own existence.

It is difficult for tradition-bound people to accept, anything as truth, other than what they inherited from them inborn and the inherited conditioning, and parental grooming and their accumulated knowledge.

The only intense urge to know the truth and courage to accept the truth after verification with better understanding, one will be able to drop all his accumulated dross, which is the main obstacle in Self-Realization.

As one moves deeper and deeper in his inner (mental) journey than he realizes what is written on my blogs and postings are true, and he will become more receptive to Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

What is the use of dying without realizing the truth of his true existence? People never give importance to realize the truth which is real God hidden by the world in which they exist.

A person lying on the deathbed and recalling his whole life, he realizes that all the power, recognition and wealth that he took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

Bhad Upanishad ~ 8-p ~-211: ~ “This Self is dearer than a son, dearer than wealth, dearer than everything else because It is innermost. If one holding the Self dear were to say to a person who speaks of anything other than the Self as dear, that he, the latter, will lose what he holds dear—and the former is certainly competent to do so—it will indeed come true. One should meditate upon the Self alone as dear. He who meditates upon the Self alone as dear—what he holds dear will not perish.

The wealth is only a fact of life that people are accustomed to, but they are unaware of the fact that their own existence as an individual their wealth, their power their family and friends and the world in they exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, which the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Whatever your individual experience of birth appeared on its own, and it disappears on its own in death. The individuality is a reality within the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Until one thing he is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior to you are born in it, later on, it is impossible for one to accept the truth, which is hidden by the form, time and space. :~Santthosh Kumaar
