The dualistic opinions are nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.+


Manduka Upanishad shows how one opinion may be used to contradict another, so that both may be thrown away. Opinions are not for philosophy; they are, as Ashtavakra says, merely thoughts; it wants the truth. 

Opinions belong to scholasticism, not to ultimate truth or Brahman. Ultimate truth or Brahman has no use for opinions.

All opinions belong to the domain of dualistic illusion or Maya. The dualistic opinions are nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. No use for opinions and arguments in pursuit of truth.

One has to stick to the truth and be aware e of everything that is untrue. By sticking to the truth and one will succeed, maybe slowly, but surely.

It is necessary to repeat the same truth again and again till it becomes reality. One needs to constantly reflect on the subject until he gets a firm conviction of what is what.

The words of wisdom are needed until one gets a firm conviction of ‘what is what’. People need to read and to hear the words, think deeply and reach the ultimate end.

The seeker has to take the direct path and avoid losing precious time and effort to lose himself in philosophical studies.

One should not become attached to words as being in perfect conformity with meaning, because Truth is not in the letters.

When a man with his fingertip points to something, the fingertip may be mistaken for the thing pointed at; in like manner the ignorant, are unable even to the day of their death to abandon the idea that in the fingertip of words there is the meaning itself. They cannot realize ultimate reality because of their intent, clinging to words that were intended to be no more than a pointing finger.

The words and their discrimination bind one to the duality, and meaning stands alone and is a guide to Advaitic freedom.

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 may give different meaning at a different level of understanding. 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.

We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything is and which is everything.

I just write what is revealed from the inner core. My main intention is to divert their attention to the source, from where the mind (universe) rises and subsides. By reading my blogs and posts, gradually the seekers will start assimilation what is truth and what is untruth.

Repeated reading my blogs makes the seeker Soul centric and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.

When there are no doubts and confusion, then they have realized the truth that the form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness.

There is no use in wasting time questioning and arguing. The same time and effort have to be used to understand and assimilate and realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. :~Santthosh Kumar
