Sage Sri, Goudpada was the
first historic Sage known to us to give a rational exposition of Advaita. He
says that whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the
ordinary persons or yogis is unreal.
The God
(Spirit) is not separate from the universe (matter) because God (Spirit) and
the universe (matter) are one, in essence. Without God, the universes in which
you exist cease to exist. God is the fullness of the Spirit. Thus, any division
in the Spirit, as the form, time and space is mere an illusion. Thus, the
universe in which you exist is mere an illusion created out of the Spirit,
which is God.
Advaita is the Soul, the innermost Self, which is second to none. The Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. Advaita is the nature of the God, the innermost Self. Advaita is God. Advaita is the fullness of the consciousness.
In Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ It has been said that God Supreme or Supreme Spirit.
Vedas and Upanishad confirm the Soul, the innermost Self, is the present in the form of the Spirit or the consciousness.
RIG VEDA: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
The Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24)”,
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit the universe resides. And into the Spirit the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.
Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material (Gita 14.27)
If God is formless Spirit, then how does the man know God created the world? There is no proof. If the man had seen God creating the world, he could admit it, but how could he have seen God before he came into existence? (i.e. were created).
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit the universe resides. And into the Spirit the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.
Advaita is universal. Advaita is not for Sale. Do not buy Advaita from the spiritual supermarket. Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the innermost Self. The world in which you exist is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Advaitic wisdom.
Advaitic truth is very simple, but it is very difficult to realize because you have accumulated mental garbage from different sources in the name of Advaita. Until you discard all the accumulated knowledge you will never be able to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
The Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the innermost Self shines in its own its awareness when wisdom dawns.
The Advaita is the Soul is the cause and the support of all that exists as the world in which we exist.
The Advaita is present in the form of the consciousness. Advaita is the root element of the universe. From the Advaita, the universe comes into existence. In the Advaita the universe resides. And into the Advaita the universe is dissolved. The Advaita is the parent of all that is there is.
