Many Gurus describes to perfection is the
awakening to Reality ~the realization that pure Consciousness alone is, that
the perpetually fluctuating and evanescent contents of the mind derive from it.
This awakening effectively happens in an instant. But in order for the
lightning flash to take place, resulting in a firm and unshakable certitude, long labor is necessary, which they seem to underestimate. “Truth is formless is their answer.
Many
Guru's teaching seems essentially negative, potent but bitter medicine for
those imprisoned by institutional cults. They break the disciples' bonds but
then lead him to a vast desert where he abandons him.
The ultimate state of consciousness they e describes is that of the traditional sage or fully enlightened being, but they do not show us the process leading to the realization of this state. They describe marvelously the goal but does not indicate the steps to be taken: their recurring phrases "unified consciousness" and "let go" and "'love alone" are not a road-map.
Most of the Gurus and Yogis s approach was more practical, and they stuck with
the reality of the 'I', they take it as real. All their teachings of Advaita is based on the dualistic perspective. For the wise who realize
everything as consciousness, what is there to meditate or not to meditate, what
to speak or not to speak, what to do or not to do?
Only the Soul
or the consciousness is Real and all else is an illusion. Only your constant
remembrance will allow you, one day, to realize what truth really is, and, in so doing realize the ‘Self.
The exercise
in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false, is
real meditation.

Sage Sri, Sankara says the transparent
truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through
the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)
~ then why you are sticking a
Guru who is not a Gnani.
Sage Sri, Sankara says “The exercise
in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real
meditation, then why yo are indulging in other types of meditation. Such teaching will not yield the truth
of the whole. :~Santthosh Kumaar
