If one is seeking truth nothing but truth than he should not hold on to any teaching or teacher as yardstick. One has to verify the validity of every claim or declaration . only id they are un-contradicatble truth than only he has to accept them as truth.
One has to think and think, until the inner dialogue starts, and then only he will start reasoning on his own and realizes the fact that, the self is not waking entity but it is the formless soul,which is in the form of consciousness. Once this happens the truth becomes easy to assimilate.
The reasoning faculty ,which use to judge “what is good” and “what is bad” in practical life ,will starts reasoning “what is reality” and “what is unreality” . Once one realizes the ultimate truth or Brahman, then he is free from all complications, emotions, thoughts and words. Through perfect understanding, one becomes aware of the fact that, even the body and the world and all its contents are consciousness, nothing but consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real all else is illusion.
One should not accept what anyone says or what others quote as reality, without verification, if one is seeking truth. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification. If words and quotes makes one think , then his own reasoning faculty will lead him towards the destination he seeking for.
When one is advancing towards the non-dual destination, he will not rest until he reaches what he is seeking, his reasoning faculty will guide him, until he gets un-contradictable/non-dual truth. The words and quotes are mere pointers. Through well directed reasoning faculty, anyone one can realize the truth. But most people have become stagnant with others thoughts or teachings or quotes or words , because, it pleases them and they are emotionally involved with it.
When the whole diversity is created out of single stuff , then what else is there to know other then that unseen stuff. The knowing that unseen stuff has become more complicated because one has to come out of the prison of inborn samskara or conditioning and get direct realization of ultimate truth or Brahman.
