Q” Moksha Sangha Just wish to know sir. How do you feel when you end the note with Santthosh Kumaar ? Merged in Advaita Self-awareness
Santthosh Kumaar: ~ In Self-awareness, whether one has the body with name whether he lives in the world whether he is action or inaction, it does not make any difference.
A Gnani sees reality in the midst of the dualistic illusion. There is no separation of form, time and space for Gnani even in the midst of separation of form, time and space.
Advaitic Self-awareness is not yogic samadhis where yogi sees only blankness. An ignorant thinks there is nothing exists because of his ignorance.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness, and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul or consciousness even in the midst of the diversity. He sees unity in diversity, in the midst of diversity.
Advaitin Sage and Maya:
The King of the Hoysalas was a dualist and was greatly incensed at the doctrine taught Advaitin Sage that everything here below is an illusion. He wanted to teach the exponent of this doctrine a lesson. So he invited the then Advaitin sage to his palace. That Advaitin sage went there and stoutly maintained that everything in this world was an illusion. The king had arranged to let loose an infuriated elephant against, Advaitin Sage. The beast rushed at Advaitin sage, who took to a precipitate flight to save himself.
'Oh, Venerable Sir,' shouted the king, 'why do you run so fast, seeing that the elephant is only an illusion?'
'Oh, king,' said Advaitin Sage in his course of his flight, 'my running too is an illusion. Everything in this world is an illusion.
In reality, the Soul and the world in which you exist are one, in essence. Thus, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what,’ leads to a perfect conviction of ‘What is truth? and ‘What is the untruth?. Perfect conviction of the truth leads to Advaitic self-awareness.
It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the innermost Self to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one realizes the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space
Self-knowledge is not a question and answer session. As the seeker digs into old and new posts, he will gradually start understanding and assimilating the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
It is a waste of time to spend time in discussion. Unless the seeker thinks independently by dropping all the accumulated knowledge, it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge. Holding any Guru or holy man and his teaching as will not be able to get Advaitic Gnana.
The path of wisdom is the Soulcentric path. Thus, egocentric intellectualism is nothing to do with the truth which is beyond the form, time and space. All accumulated dross leads to hallucination.
Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch II-5 P-14)
Jesus said: ~ Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6)
~ Jesus meant knowledge of Spirit or God or Self-knowledge should not be shared with unqualified people.
Unless the seeker drops all his accumulated knowledge and strives to realize the truth with patience and humility, it is not possible to realize the ‘Self’ hidden by the dualistic illusion. In the path of wisdom discussion of the unimportant subject and it creates a hindrance.
The path of truth is the path of verification. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. Seeker has to read umpteen times, think deeply, and reflect repeatedly until his reasoning base becomes Soulcentric. Once he becomes Soulcentric the truth will start revealing on its own.
As the seeker digs into old and new posts, he will gradually start understanding and assimilating the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. We have to discard all accumulated knowledge accumulated from different Gurus and their teachings in order to realize the truth hidden by the ignorance.
That is why Sage Sankara says:~ 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 perverse arguments.
The ultimate truth has to be realized first, and then only it is possible to know what the scriptures are saying. A Gnani does not require any scriptures. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
