The pursuit of truth is a personal journey. Spirituality or Adyathma is nothing to do with religion and yoga.
The seeker of truth should not indulge in condemning religion and religious Gods and its saints and religious Guru and yogis, which are meant for the ignorant populace. But he must expose the falsity of religion and yoga for his own information. Without realizing the falsity of religion and yoga, it is impossible to proceed in pursuit of truth.
Mixing religious and yogic ideology with Spirituality is like mixing oil with water. Mixing the religion and yoga with Spirituality or Adythma creates great obstacle to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman Religion and yoga are egocentric, whereas Spirituality or Adythma is soulcentric.
It is better to move ahead on the chosen path which suits him, without mixing one another. One has to choose his path and move ahead on the chosen path without mixing up anything other than his chosen ideology.
As per the scriptures, the three "Ashrams" or stages in life were originally intended for three grades of intelligence thus:~
Religion:- Low intellects had to do 'karmas' works, ritual actions, chanting of mantras and indulging in Bajans and prayers, etc.
Yoga: Middle intellects taking yellow robes, going to caves, ashrams, etc.
Advaitic wisdom:- High intellects who wanted the truth are concerned with no external rites or sanyasa but depends solely on the intelligent inquiry for their path.
It is better to move ahead on the chosen path which suits him, without mixing one another. One has to choose his path and move ahead on the chosen path without mixing up anything other than his chosen ideology.
Pursuit of truth is for: to find and realize the truth of the existence hidden by the ignorance (‘I’).
Since the ‘Self is hidden by the ‘I’ the seeker has to inquire into the nature of the ‘I’.
The seeker of truth has to reject the untruth, and accept only the uncontradictable truth.
Attachment to the Soul, the ‘Self’, and detachment from the ‘I’ (world) is the key to freedom and salvation.
Every one of us attached to the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is the dualistic illusion. The world in which we exist is the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is for the Soul, which present in the form of consciousness. The 'I', appears and disappears as the mind is impermanent.
Why the 'I', does not disappear even after inquiry, even if one knows intellectually I am not the body?
If 'I', is not the body, what is 'I', without the body?
How can the 'I', remain as 'I', without the body?
Where 'I', disappeared in deep sleep?
What is it that knows, the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?
When the 'I' is impermanent, what is it that permanent Which knows the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?
How can one remain as 'I', when it is impermanent and the judge the eternal truth, which is not the 'I'?
Seeker of the truth has to find what is eternal, and what is impermanent to decide whether the 'I' or duality is permanent or the Soul, witness of the 'I', is permanent -to overcome the illusion and establish in the non-dualistic reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
