Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is the only smart weapon that can destroy ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing unreality as reality.
All myths propagated by the belief system will be exposed with the sword of wisdom and make the universal brotherhood possible.
Self-knowledge is spiritual truth, scientific truth, universal truth, and ultimate truth, and not the property of any particular religion. Self-knowledge is the need of the hour to free humanity from wars, violence, and terrorism in the name of protecting religion and God. And live in love, peace, and harmony.
We may have different bodies, we may have different blood groups, and we may have different DNA, we may belong to different races, we may belong to a different religion, caste creed, and cult, and we may belong to different nationalities but one thing every human being must remember we all are made of the single clay. That clay is consciousness. Knowledge of the single clay is Advaita.
That is why Sage Sankara, indicated in Bhaja Govindam says: ~ (Jnana Viheena Sarva Mathena Bajathi na Muktim janma Shatena) - one without knowledge does not obtain liberation even in a hundred births, no matter which religious faith he follows.
The one who realizes that consciousness is the cause of the universe is they exist and consciousness itself is uncaused will see unity in diversity in their understanding.
A Gnani sees consciousness everywhere and will not see men of other nationalities as different from him and will treat them accordingly. He will not separate himself from them. The National and racial strife in the world is the result of their ignorance which regards men by their bodies alone.
When the ultimate truth is rightly known and one attains eternal life thereby. Through Soul, the innermost Self he gains strength and through its knowledge immortality.
One has to realize that form, time and space are one in essence and that essence is the consciousness. The consciousness is the cause of form, time, and space and it itself is uncaused.
Sage Goudpada says: ~ The merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.
It means the people who follow the religion and worship the Guru and the conceptual Gods and believe in karma theory are lower and middling intellect. But in this modern world, people are sharp enough to understand and assimilate the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Thus, it is high time to discard the lower knowledge and move ahead to realize the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God.
Upanishads: ~They alone in this world are endowed with the highest wisdom and are firm in their conviction of the sameness and birthlessness of Ataman. The ordinary man does not understand his way. (Chapter IV — Alatasanti Prakarana 95-P-188 in Upanishads by Nikilanada)
