What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the self is birthless?



If someone has acquired Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  and shares his acquired knowledge with others, they cannot say that there is nothing for them to do. Everyone has to discover a fresh for himself by verifying all the facts. Each one has to grasp assimilate and realize it,  until he gets firm conviction of the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Mind appears due to ignorance. Without ignorance the mind ceases to exist.  Thus mind is in the form of universe and appears as waking or dream.  The waking or dream is state of duality. Thus seeker has to hold wherever there is duality there is ignorance.  If duality is considered as reality than the experience of birth, life, death and the world is considered as reality.  If experience birth, life, death and the world is considered as reality than the form, time and space is becomes a reality. If form, time and space is becomes reality as reality than there is diversity in unity.  To bring back the unity in diversity, one has to put the ego in to reverse gear until it reaches the ultimate end or source from where mind rises and subsides.      

Seeker has to grow from the inside out by soul -centric reasoning. None can teach him none can make him to reach the ultimate end. There is no other guru but the formless consciousness, which the innermost self.


Mind is in the form of universe.  Man is with in the world. Man is the physical entity within the universe. Universe appears as waking or dream. Dream is parallel waking and waking is parallel dream.  The formless witness of the mind or universe or waking is real and eternal. The formless witness itself is the formless substance of the three states.   

The scriptures are for ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material world as it presents itself. Wisdom is for those who have begun to realize that things are not what they seem.


Each sect concocts a God to suit its own purposes.  Such concocted Gods have no value in pursuit of truth.  Man himself suggests that there must be a God. It is an auto-suggestion.
Prayers and sacrifices belong to a premature stage of development. However when no answers come to prayers, struggle for existence presses man, and doubt arises again.  Faith in religion weakens as man pays more attention to facts of life and this world.


People take their gurus as their model. Many think that wisdom to be the matter of theorizing.  But it is not so. Non-dual wisdom is nothing to do with practical life, which is limited to form, time and space. Everyone has to experience    birth, life, death and the world within the waking experience.  The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. And waking becomes unreal when the self, wakes up in its formless non-dual true nature in the midst of waking experience.

 Egocentric theorizing   does not lead to self-awareness. Water is the root of the element of the snow and cloud, similarly, consciousness is root of the element of the universe. From consciousness the universe comes into existence. In consciousness the universe resides. And into the consciousness the universe is dissolved. Consciousness is parent of all that is there.

All the add-ons and attribute based knowledge, which are inferior, have to be bifurcated and excluded to know the ultimate truth or Brahman.  The seeker of truth has to drop all the inferior knowledge based on the attributes and go beyond Vedas to understand assimilate and realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. 


Reason is the common ground for whole humanity in modern age, whereas the appeal to scriptural relations reaches only the sects.  Those who argue that truth is only in their religion are vain logicians, depending on mere ideas, speculations and imaginations.
Truth is bitter pill. It becomes very difficult for the seeker to accept it at first; because of his inherited conditioning. Gradually he will be able to grasp it as he moves on.


One has to go beyond Vedas means go beyond religion. Go beyond religion means, go beyond concept of god.  Thus, going beyond Veda, religion and conceptual god means going beyond illusion.   That is end of Vedas (Veda –antha)


When one goes into the annals of the history it looks like the true Advith expounded by Sri Sankara and his param guru, Goudpada was lost or mutilated by the orthodoxy, because the preaching and practice does not match.


 It is necessary for the seeker to 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.


Each sect concocts a God to suit its own purposes.  Such concocted Gods have no value in pursuit of truth.  Man himself suggests that there must be a God. It is an auto-suggestion.


Prayers and sacrifices belong to a premature stage of development. However when no answers come to prayers, struggle for existence presses man, and doubt arises again.  Faith in religion weakens as man pays more attention to facts of life and this world.

Physical & mental discipline   such like Karma, Mantra Yaga, Yajna, Puja Japa blind devotion to deity or guru is not the tool for liberation or freedom from experiencing the duality as reality. It is dualistic cult including tradition Advaitic orthodoxy propagate this discipline has no value if one is seeking truth to get nondual moksha.  


Mysticism, scriptural knowledge, penance based Scholasticism are great are great hindrance to self-realization. Inherited blind belief   with corresponding actions based on scriptures, worship, ritual faith which imply certain mental and physical discipline, or scripture supporting belief, faith, creed, ritual, theological knowledge personal or opinion leads to hallucinated knowledge.  All these become great hindrance in grasping understanding, assimilating and realizing the Advaitic or non-dual truth.    


Scriptural mastery including ancient Sastras, Tarka, Samkhya disciplines to support Karmas & belief Bhakti Argument & interpretation with help of logic, grammar etc.to support beliefs, revelations, prayers etc. Also dogmas, theological or other based on authorities.


Yoga, Silence, path of love,   meditation, rituals and devotion are based on the false self and false experience does not yield truth one seeking for, because the truth is beyond false self (ego) and false experience (universe). Mysticism is based on individual experience. The self is not individual because the self, which s in the form of consciousness, pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Blind beliefs without verification and argument and interpretation on the base of false self are not verified knowledge therefore it is not truth.

v  What is the use of arguing on base of the birth entity, which is not the self?

v  What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the self is birthless? 

v  What is the use of thinking of the heaven and hell when the self is not an individual and it is never born and never dies?

When formless consciousness, is the innermost self, which pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states, what value the theoretical philosophies and scientific inventions   which are based on individual intellectuality will have.  

The consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman. Consciousness is ground of the universe, the consciousness is the first cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused. 

Ultimate truth or Brahman  cannot be defined in positive terms because any definition would mean limitation.  One has to realize the fact that, the universe and all its contents are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  That means the mind and the soul, which is the innermost self are one in essence.
