The ‘I-centric Gurus and their teachings are not a yardstick to judge what is truth and what is untruth.+

The ‘WHO AM ‘I’?’ inquiry is good at the starting point of the pursuit of truth, but later stages it created lots of confusion.

Who am I? - is not Self-inquiry. Self-inquiry is finding out the ‘Self’, which is hidden by the ‘I’.

First, realize the Self not you, but the Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, the Self, is genderless, and it is not He/She. Therefore, using the word ‘I AM’ for the Soul, the Self is erroneous.

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that, the Self is not the ‘I’, therefore ‘WHO AM I? - inquiry will not help to unfold the Self, which is the Soul hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

The one who holds the Self as 'I' never will be able to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Thus, it is necessary to realize first the Self is not 'I', but the Self is the Soul the cause of the ‘I’.

The ‘I-centric Gurus and their teachings are not a yardstick to judge what is truth and what is untruth. The ‘I-centric teaching will not lead the seeker to the ultimate end of his inner journey.

The inborn conditioning is the cause of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusory universe (duality) as reality.

The inborn conditioning is present in the form of ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

Thus, it is necessary to get rid of the inborn conditioning to get rid of the ignorance. Thus, only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is it possible to get rid of ignorance. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
