Physical & mental discipline such like Karma, Mantra Yaga, Yajna, Puja
Japa blind devotion to a deity or guru is not the tool for liberation or freedom
from experiencing the duality as reality. Dualistic cult including
tradition Advaitic orthodoxy propagate egocentric discipline has no value if one is
seeking truth to get non-dualistic or Advaitic Moksha.
Mysticism, scriptural knowledge, penance
based Scholasticism are a great hindrance to self-realization.
Inherited blind belief with corresponding actions based on scriptures,
worship, ritual faith which implies certain mental and physical discipline, or
scripture supports belief, faith, creed, ritual, theological knowledge personal
or opinion leads to hallucinated knowledge. All these become great hindrances 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 the help of logic, grammar etc.to support
beliefs, revelations, prayers etc. Also dogmas, theological or other based on
authorities.
Yoga, Silence, 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(waking entity or ego) and false experience (waking). 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 the false self (ego or waking entity) are not verified knowledge therefore
it is not truth.
