Intense urge, sincerity, seriousness, silence, receptivity and humility are often the best ways to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

All doubts and confusion are based on the physical self (waking entity or ego) . The physical self (waking entity or ego) is the false self within the false experience(waking). it is not possible to understand and assimilate through scientific invention in present form, which is based on physicality, because the truth lies prior to physicality.  

The one which is aware of the physical existence is not physical, therefore investigating on the physical base and trying to discover, assimilate and realize the truth on laboratory condition is impossibility.  The brain and Nero science is part of the physical existence, and the ultimate truth lies beyond form,time and space.  Science demands physical proof based on for,time and space.Thus there is a need to know what exists prior to physical existence to unfold the mystery of the mind,which i present in the form of universe.

Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning revels the fact that, the self is not physical.  The modern scientific inventions are based on physicality. 

The fallacy of religionists appeal to scripture lies in the varying and conflicting interpretations of the same scripture which different men feel entitled to give or hold.

When one does not know the ultimate  truth, then he can only guess, imagine, hence doubts and questions and discussions arise.

One has to know the fact.  One cannot get rid of the doubts by blindly accepting something as truth without proper reasoning.

People think ‘I’ as self or something else lies within the brain is the doer. They are unaware of the fact that, there is something else lies beyond the brain and the world. 

"Know the true self". Knowing the true self means by inquiring, analyzing and reasoning in to the nature of the mind, which is in the form of universe.  one has to grasp and assimilate the fact that, the self is not physical but it is the formless soul or consciousness or  spirit. It is not possible to know the self by reading books or scriptures or hearing the sermons of great speakers or by glorifying the god men or guru.

If the self is not physical, then it is erroneous to view and judge the truth on the physical standpoint.  Therefore, whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as a person of the world is based on the  physical standpoint.  The truth lies beyond physicality. Deeper inquiry analysis and reasoning revels the fact that, the self is not physical but the spirit.  Therefore, it is necessary to learn to view and judge the physical existence(universe), on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness ,  the innermost self, to unfold the mystery of the mind or universe or ’I’.

Intense urge, sincerity, seriousness,  silence, receptivity and humility are often the best ways to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Not because they offer solutions for the complexity of our lives but because they bring us in touch with our sacred center, where truth dwells. That sacred center may not be analyzed. It is the source from where the mind(universe) rises and subsides.  The source is formless soul; therefore the mind is mere mirage on the standpoint of the source, which is the formless  soul or consciousness or spirit. 

The source itself is the true self.  The true Self is neither bound nor free. An end to illusion! It is all groundless. For the whole of creation, though it rests in the Self, is without foundation.
