Sage Sankara says:~ Brahman alone exists, and the rest is all superimposition on that Brahman, due to ignorance.

The seeker of truth should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning because Truth is not in the letters. 

The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality; meaning stands alone and is a guide to non-dual awareness. Meaning is attained by much learning, and much learning is attained by becoming conversant with meaning and not with words; therefore, seekers of truth have to avoid the sticklers for particular words.  

Scriptural scholars have made Advaita   very complicated with their erroneous analysis. All the interpretation of different scriptural scholars is an arena of conflicting interpretations.

All the scriptural interpretations by the Gurus based on the dualistic perspective and orthodox point of view. 

All the gurus of the east and west interpret Advaita from a dualistic standpoint or orthodox point of view, and they are still dealing with words, not truth.  It proves that they have not understood the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara. 

The Vedas indicate that the Self is consciousness:-

v Tat tvam asi: -Thou art That - “Self is that” -(Sam Veda).

v Prajnanam Brahma: - Consciousness is the ultimate reality - (Rig Veda).

v Ayam Aatma Brahma: -The Self is the ultimate truth -(Atharva Veda).

v Aham Brahma Asmi: - Self is the ultimate reality- (Yajur Veda)

Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman, nor worship other than the Atman?"

Realizing everything as Consciousness is God realization because Rig Veda says Consciousness is God in truth.

Your existence is limited to form, time, and space because the ‘Self is not you. The Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

First, realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Mentally hold on the Soul and mentally reduce the world in which you exist as consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth of Brahman or God in truth.

Consciousness is God in truth, rest all is an illusion.

Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham- Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material (Gita 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.

Vedas, Upanishad, and Bhagavad Gita confirm the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.

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

All the ‘I-centric’ Gurus and their teachings lose their value in Soulcentric vision.

Remember:~

When you realize the words, thoughts, and the world in which you exist is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is consciousness, then you will realize the truth which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

When everything is created out of consciousness, then there is no second thing exists, other than consciousness. It takes time to grasp the Advaitic truth. All the obstacles have to be overcome one by one.

Realize with full and a firm conviction that: ~

You are not you but consciousness; your body is not the body but consciousness, the world in which you exist is not the world but consciousness.

Everything is known, seen, believed, and experienced by you is nothing but consciousness then what else remains, which is not the consciousness. There is nothing else to realize other than to realize consciousness alone is, everything else is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

By realizing everything is consciousness, the Advaitic wisdom dawns. Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ lead to Advaitic awareness.

Without the world, in which you exist, God alone exists. When God disappears, the world, in which you exist, appears. The world, in which you exist disappears, God appears. Thus, realize the God to be the Soul.

The Soul is the Self. Thus, the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

If you stick to the ultimate truth, then the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness. If you realize this truth, you will live in this world but not of this world. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.

Remember:~

The Advaitic wisdom leads the seeker from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom, from unawareness of the ‘Self’ to Self-awareness, from unreality to reality.

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."

All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, consciousness still remains without form, time and space

The Soul itself is God, the One without a Second:

Consciousness is the one single reality or Brahman. The individual self is a reality within the illusory universe or Maya.

The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. The Soul or God in truth is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, consciousness God in truth.

Consciousness, the God, is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God because God is the very essence of the one who denies God. God is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

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

The Vedas talk about Brahman (God) which refers to the ultimate truth or ultimate reality or Advaita. Consciousness is the Advaita or the ultimate truth, therefore, consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is Advaita, the God in truth. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
