The seeker must do his homework, and verify the validity of all the claims, rather than blindly believe, what others expound as knowledge, till; the un-contradicted truth is obtained.
The seeker must have the courage of Bhagavān Buddha to accept the truth and reject the untruth. Since Bhagavān Buddha rejected religion, idea of God and scriptures, therefore, it is evident that he has gone through every aspect and verified and found them to be inadequate and useless for the pursuit of truth.
The seeker should not carry forward the error committed by the 'I-centric’ and ‘you-centric’ Gurus. The ‘I-centric’ or ‘you-centric’ teaching is not Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
The ‘I-centric’ or ‘you-centric’ teachings becomes a hindrance to transcend the dualistic illusion into nondualistic reality.
Bhagavān Buddha:~ It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Bhagavān Buddha: - There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.
Swami Vivekananda:~ worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly; love him all you will, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation. Have only one idea of God - that God is an eternal help.
There is no need to condemn any Gurus and their teaching. If you are seriously seeking truth, then you must be aware how these Gurus and their teaching becomes an obstacle for your information. Unless you drop all the I-centric teaching and your emotional attachment to these Gurus, your quest for truth is incomplete.
Swami Vivekananda said:~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but the Soul.”
Swami Vivekananda aptly described Sage Sankara’s Advaita as the fairest flower of philosophy that any country in any age has produced.
Swami Vivekananda:~ Teach yourself, teach everyone his real nature, call upon the sleeping Soul and see how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything excellent will come when this sleeping Soul is roused to Self-conscious activity.
Swami Vivekananda:~ You have gratitude for books and teachers without bondage to them and worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly; love him all you will, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation. Have only one idea of God - that He is an eternal help.
Swami Vivekananda:~ Oneness is the Secret of Everything.
You will not find the Self without realizing what this ‘I’ supposing to be in actuality. Just by saying the Self is prior to the ‘I’, the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of ignorance, you will never be able to unfold the mystery hidden by the ‘I’. :~Santtosh Kumaar
