Advaitic path of wisdom is not suited for the blind believers of religion.+

Remember this:- If you are the seeker of truth, you must know religion is not spirituality. Spirituality is nothing to do with religion and its idea of God.

The Spirituality is for realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

That is why Sage Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many gods as you please, observe ceremonies and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

Advaitic wisdom is pure spirituality or Adyathma. Advaitic Gnana is Self-knowledge of Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Advaitic path of wisdom is not suited for the blind believers of religion.

There are three kinds of aspirants: ~

1. The ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices follow religion.

2. Middling intellect who desire peace and wellbeing follow yogic path or mediation.

3. The most advanced seeker who seeks to know the ultimate truth follow the Atmic path. The Atmic path with its emphasis on the Advaitic wisdom is meant for those who wish to go beyond the form, time, and space.

Only through deeper self-search, beginners and intermediates gradually become aware ‘what is what’.

Only after they have realized the fact that the ‘Self’ is not ‘I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, they ready for the inner journey towards the reality, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Upanishad: ~ “They alone in this world are endowed with the highest wisdom who are firm in their conviction of the sameness and birthlessness of Atman. The ordinary man does not understand their way. (Chapter IV — Alatasanti Prakarana 95-P-188 in Upanishads by Nikilanada)

If you are seeking truth you have to know the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara says the world is an illusion; it includes birth, life, and death, which happens within the world. Thus, the seeker's main aim is to mentally trace the formless substance of the illusion, which is also the witness of the illusion.

Sage Sankara, in Bhaja Govindam says: ~ (Jnana Viheena Sarva Mathena Bajathi na Muktim janma Shatena) - One without knowledge does not obtain liberation even in a hundred births, no matter which religious faith he follows.

Thus, it proves that religion is not the means to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Because Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is universal knowledge meant for the humanity. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is do not belong to any religion

The orthodox people more enslaved than others because they live in ‘Self’-imposed prison. A householder may have a little freedom, but the Gurus, Yogis Saints are more stuck with their own idea of truth than others. Orthodoxies are just blind followers of tradition. They cannot move freely, they cannot sit freely, they cannot live freely.

Many people pretend they are ‘Self’-realized just by being orthodox, one cannot get Gnana. Yogi practices Samadhi he will not get rid of the ignorance. Everyone has their own idea of Gnana.

The most important thing is that neither society nor politics nor any religion has anything to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. Self–Knowledge helps the seeker transcending emotion, transcending form, time, and space. Perhaps this is why the Atmic path, has not had much impact.

The path of wisdom is the inner (mental) journey. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and Advaitic wisdom are one and the same thing. Without an intense urge, it is difficult to tread this path. Self-realization is not an experience because the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, the ‘Self’ cannot be experienced because it is ever formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is prior to any experience. The experience is possible only in dualistic illusion. The world in which you exist is the dualistic illusion.

Consciousness is the cause of the dualistic illusion, and it itself is uncaused. Consciousness is the only real thing within the dualistic illusion. Thus, the consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Advaitic truth is not for synthesis – it is an uncontradictable truth, and it is the ultimate truth. The Advaitic truth just as it is, without any artifice or coloring.

The knower of Advaitic truth is not concerned about the listener, he does not care whether his listener will understand or not. The pure expression of truth comes from the source of his existence.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the ‘Self’: ~

There is nothing to accept,

Nothing to reject,

Nothing to hold on to,

Nothing to let go of,

Nothing to grasp,

Nothing to spurn,

Nothing to embrace,

Nothing to relinquish,

Nothing to dissolve

Because the Soul is free from the illusory form, time, and space. Only within the dualistic illusion the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is caught up in the illusory experience of the form, time, and space.

This is the truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
