The SelfKnowledge Brahma Gnana frees the Soul from the cage of ignorance. When the ignorance vanishes the Soul becomes free from experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality. It is the Soul, that is in ignorance and it is the Soul that becomes free from ignorance.
It is the ignorance of the real nature of the Soul, is the cause of experiencing the dualistic illusion as a reality. An urge to realize the truth beyond the form, time and space is necessary. Without longing for realizing the truth, it is impossible to realize the formless, timeless and spaceless truth.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana helps to a raft upon which one crosses a swift river to get to the other side of the dualistic illusion, once the shore beyond the form, time and space is reached; there is no longer any need to carry the raft because the Soul, the innermost Self, remains in its own awareness. In self-awareness, the river and person crossing the river itself is an illusion. The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness alone, is real and all else is an illusion.
Let us think in a different direction. Let us divide the existence into two parts: the known and the unknown. That which is known as the waking or the dream was unknown in the deep sleep. The waking or the dream (duality) is the known and the deep sleep (nonduality) is the unknown
The unknown becomes known only in the waking. The known become unknown and unknown becomes known. What is it that becomes known and unknown? It is the Soul which is present in the form of the consciousness playing the hide and seek.
Only the consciousness is bridgeable between known and unknown. The difference between known and unknown is only because of ignorance of the Soul, the innermost Self.
Through self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the ignorance diminishes and there neither the known nor unknown but only the eternal awareness prevails.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is not any preaching or teaching based on the dogmas of the religion, nor a theory nor scriptural studies. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is buried under the religion and diverse philosophies and theories.
Remember:~
Realize the world, in which you exist is nothing but the consciousness.
Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist.
Thus, there no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, everything is the consciousness whether it exists as the world, in which you exist or without the world, in which you exist. Realizing the consciousness as the ultimate truth is truth realization. Truth realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization. :~Santthosh Kumaar
Remember:~
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 Self shines in its own 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. Advaita is the nature of God, the Self.
The Advaita
is present in the form of 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.
To get rid the ignorance,
the only remedy is Self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is to realize the ‘Self’ is
not you, but the ‘Self is the formless Soul, which is present in the form of
the consciousness.
Why you are
struggling to get Self-realization.
There is no need to go from one mountain to another, one Guru to
another, one Ashram to another, read books after books.
Thus, there no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, everything is the consciousness whether it exists as the world, in which you exist or without the world, in which you exist. Realizing the consciousness as the ultimate truth is truth realization. Truth realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization. :~Santthosh Kumaar
