Most of the modern Gurus are also stuck with ‘I’ awareness as Self -awareness, whereas the 'I' awareness is a merely an illusion.+

The Advaitic wisdom is not suited for the unsettled mind, which sticks to religion, yoga, and all non-Vedic worship and activities. There is no use in convincing such a mindset. Everyone is free to move on his chosen path.

Bhagavān Buddha: ~ “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.

Sage Sankara cautioned that study of Upanishad alone would not lead to Moksha.

Ashtavakra:~There is no wisdom whatsoever in the scriptures-just a collection of words.

Discussion with right people is always better than arguments with wrong people. Silence is always better than meaningless.

To come to a more precise understanding of what non-duality is or might mean, we must return to the original linguistic and philosophic backgrounds from which the word has been translated into English.

If we limit a probe of the meaning of non-duality to Sanskrit literature, we find that the most frequently used term is “Advaita”.

Advaita” is not a religious concept. Advaita is the nature of the existence hidden by the illusory form, time and space.

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained Self-knowledge, realized Atman which is the Self is God in truth. Atman alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman.

The real Moksha or freedom is to realize that ‘I-awareness’ is mere physical awareness. Physical awareness is not Self -awareness. Self -awareness, is when the Soul, the ’Self’ remains aware of its own awareness of its nondual true nature.

That is why Bhagavān Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you, yourself, test and judge to be true.

One cannot expect mental spoon-feeding for everything. The seeker has to do his own homework. One will not understand it through argument, which leads nowhere but to perversity.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead to the final Goal. (Commentary on Vedanta Sutra)

Nothing has to be accepted truth without verification. Nothing is needed for acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana other than perfect understanding, assimilation, and realization of ‘what is what”

Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but the Soul.

Dualist Gurus could not distinguish between ‘I’ and ‘ the witness.’ The 'I' was the witness. Their highest was the Jiva. One is so much attached to the 'I' that he does not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again, one is unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real witness.

Most of the modern Gurus are also stuck with ‘I- awareness' as Self-awareness, whereas the 'I' awareness is a mere illusion.

The ‘I’ awareness is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present only when the universe is present. The universe is present only when the waking or dream is present.

The ‘I’ awareness is absent when the mind is absent. The mind is absent, then the universe or waking or dream is absent. ‘I-awareness' is merely an illusion. Self-awareness is nondual-awareness

Sage Sankara said: ~ VC -65- As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the ‘Self’, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through arguments.

It is impossible to get rid of any conditioning without getting rid of the inborn samskara or conditioning.

The ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is the inborn samskara or conditioning. ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ is the mother of all conditioning. Because of this inborn conditioning, one thinks he is an individual separate from the world and world existed before him and he is born in it afterward.

Until this inborn conditioning is present one is in the grip of duality, and he experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as reality. This inborn conditioning makes one experience the illusory duality as a reality.

The goal of the seeker is to realize Atman (consciousness). Atman (consciousness) is nothing but Brahman.

By realizing Atman (consciousness) as Brahman (ultimate truth) is truth realization or Self-Realization or God-realization.

There is no need to follow the religion, study scriptures or glorifying gods or Gurus and follow the path of doubts and confusion by losing oneself’ in the labyrinths of philosophy when there is an easier path.

By mentally tracing the source of the mind from where it rises and subsides, one becomes aware of the fallacy of the mind, which rises as waking or dream and subsides as deep sleep. The mind arises from consciousness and subsides as consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
