Jesus’s version of Nonduality or Advaita***

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 the  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. 

Jesus said: ~ Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew -7:6) 

He meant Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana (pearls) should not be given to the ignorant populace (pigs). 

Jesus really say? To the multitude, he said, “God is in heaven; try to go there,” and to reach that end he said to overcome certain temptations and sufferings.

To his followers, he said, “God is everywhere; try to see Him.” and gave explanations to that effect.

To the close circle of apostles he said, “God is in me and in you too,” and actually revealed this to them.

Why did Jesus say different things? Owing to the time and the persons, according to their readiness to listen and understand. What Jesus meant was to leave all and follow him; that means to know him, see him, and experience him.

The teachings that are being followed by Christians are not the real teachings that Christ gave. The priests have altered his words, added to his teachings and spoiled them.

Jesus said: ~ Seek and ye shall find. Knock the doors shall opened to you. 
***
Gospel Thomas logian 22:- Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, “These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.”

They said to him, “Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?”

Jesus said to them, “When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female is female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom.”

Santthosh Kumaar: ~ This above passage is Jesus’s version of Nonduality or Advaita. When one realizes mind (matter) and the Soul (Spirit), the innermost Self, are one, in essence, there is no place for the duality. Without the duality, the universe ceases to exist. Without the universe, your existence within the universe is mere an illusion because there is scope for two because everything is created out of single stuff. That single stuff is the consciousness or Spirit. 

Till one thinks he is an individual separate from this world he remains in the realm of the duality. The duality is the product of ignorance. When the Advaitic wisdom dawns, then the ignorance vanishes. When the ignorance vanishes, then the duality never remains as a reality. 

God is not physical. God is present in the form of the Spirit. The Spirit is the cause of the Universe and the Spirit itself is uncaused. 

On the standpoint of the Spirit, the form, time, space and name are mere an illusion. The Spirit alone is real and all else is an illusion. In reality, the spirit (God) matter (the world in which we exist) are one. 

Love is not the means of the Self –realization.*****

People think love is the means to Self-realization,  but they are unaware of the fact that, love and hate are made of the same stuff. Love is not the means of the Self –realization.

Love is very much necessary in practical life within the practical world. Love implies duality.  Whatever is of duality is a falsehood. Thus, love is the reality within the falsehood.  Lover and love cease to exist in reality because the duality is not a reality. 

The experience of practical life within the practical world is a reality within the waking experience, but the waking experience itself is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. Thus, lover, love, and the world are one, in essence. Thus, the path of love is a religious path because religion is the path of individuality.  The ‘Self’ is not an individual to love or hate.  In reality, there is no second thing exist other than the consciousness.  Thus, there is no duality whereas love implies duality. The ‘Self is the fullness of the consciousness.   The Soul, the innermost Self, is the formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

The humanism is limited to practical life within the practical world. The path of love is the path for humanity, therefore, it is the individualized path. Thus, the path of love is limited to the physical structure, it cannot transport one to the ultimate end.  Thus, the seeker has to understand the fact that, from the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, the practical life, and the practical world are merely an illusion.

Meher Baba said: - To love God as he ought to be loved, we must love for God and die for God, knowing that the goal of life is to know God and find him as our own Self.

To realize God is to attain liberation from the bondage of illusion. 

Live only to find and realize your true identity with your beloved God.

The energy which is expended in mere thinking, taking or writing is like steam, which escapes through the whistle of railway engine …

That is why the sages have always insisted on practice rather than theory. This applies particularly to those who want to know and realize God.  

----

~ It means one has to know and realize his innermost Self is God and identifying it as his true identity to find liberation from the bondage of the illusion of birth, life, death and the world (duality).   The goal of our life is to find and realize our identity with our beloved God, which is our innermost Self.  :~Santthosh Kumaar 

Know the mystery of the ‘I’ and come out of the intoxication of the ‘I’***

Having food or no food, Having sex or no sex, wearing clothes or being naked does not qualify you to get self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Know the mystery of the ‘I’. Come out of the intoxication of the ‘I’. Till you remain in the grip of the ‘I’, you are blocked from the realizing the truth, which is beyond the ‘I’.

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The realization of ultimate truth or Brahman is possible only when the seeker inquiries into the nature of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the Mind.   The Mind is present in the form of the universe and the universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). The one which appears as the duality and disappears as nonduality is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. 

Do not try to know who you are? By inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’,   you will never reach the ultimate end of understanding. ‘Who am ‘I’? is only helpful in the beginning on later stages it is inadequate to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, is only helpful in the beginning on later stages, it is inadequate to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.   

Try to find out what is this ‘I’ which appears and disappears. What is it that knows this appearance and disappearance of the ‘I’?

The Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "mine," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.
