When self is not the body it is erroneous to seek truth on the base of body or 'I' as self.

The essence of Vedas the mother of all the scriptures declare that DEHUM-NAHAM-KOHUM-SOHUM, which means SELF IS NOT THE BODY - SELF IS THAT, when self is not the body it is erroneous to seek truth on the base of body or 'I' as self. 

One has to know the Vedas in pure form which has been mixed and messed up in time. For that one has to go through Great Vedic Master, Swami, Dayanada Saraswti of Arya Samaja who has bifurcated what is not in Vedas in his book Satyarth Prakshana. Thus it is necessary to bifurcate Veads from all additions then only one will be able to speak of what really they are.

Since everyone is sentimentally and emotionally involved with Vedas and religion we never go to check the pure essence. Vedas are mostly code of conduct how the human being has to live and behave and judge for himself what is wrong and right. But truth lies beyond Vedas. One has to do his own home work. Therefore to know the self it is not possible through Vedas.

The pure Advith Vedanta is nothing to do with religion, concept of god and scriptures.That is why the Upanishads says religion,scriptures and god glorification and yoga are not the means to self realization. Therefore, Buddha rejected Vedas, concept of god and religion. there is no end in arguing who is correct and who is wrong. A well directed inquiry and reasoning on the true base will help the seeker to realize the self in lesser time and effort.

Therefore it is better to do our own home work without religion and god glorification scriptural studies TO DISCOVER AND REALIZE WHAT IS SELF.

These three states deceive, the people fail to look beyond them to its source, which is real, supreme and imperishable.

The soul/consciousness  is the true self . The true self is the source of the the three states . These three states  deceive, the people fail to look beyond them to its source, which is real,  supreme and imperishable. 

The three states are mere mirage/illusion. It is  difficult to overcome the illusion  without the wisdom. But one can  cross over this illusion  , by realizing and   becoming  aware of the fact that, the self is not physical but it is consciousness. People  are deluded by illusion; immersed in the illusion experiencing it as reality. They are ignorant because they think the self is physical and birth, life, death and world  as reality . Having lost all discrimination, they follow the way of their physical  nature.

When ignorance vanishes through wisdom then only it is possible to  negate the illusion, the mortal becomes immortal. When all the physical  shackles  that strangle the self  are loosened, the mortal becomes immortal, here in this very life.

In ultimate understanding : Nothing has actually been created. All that appears is mere mirage. Everything is consciousness and nothing can be apart of it.  No second thing exists other then consciousness.  Neither the man nor the world , which contains all the objects are reality on the standpoint of the consciousness as self.

The perfect seer sees consciousness in everything and everywhere in the physical existence[illusion].

One  should not  expect spiritual path to be clear of obstacles, without obstacles. One who seeks truth realization  may not be able to grasp the truth, because he has to know the obstacles which is blocking his realization and get rid of them. One has to  attain the truth realization  in the midst of illusion. 

One  should not wish for easy  way to search the truth . In easy way , there is ignorance. The ignorance has been nourished and passed on from one generation to the next.   One has to try to  get rid of the ignorance,  by discovering and  realizing the ultimate truth." One should not hope for realization without obstacles.  An easy way  results in a judgmental and lazy. 


 The truth is easy, but, because of the accumulated knowledge and inherited  conditioning  it becomes very difficult to grasp and assimilate it. Accumulated knowledge and inherited conditioning  are   greatest hindrance in pursuit of truth. When one is conditioned to accept some thing else as truth, it becomes difficult for him to accept anything other then his accepted truth. Since, he is been involved with his inherited conditioning  sentimentally and emotionally  for years together, therefore, he will not be receptive to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Only when one finds his accumulated knowledge is inadequate and useless ,then only it is possible to drop the accumulated dross.   One has to accept the ups and downs  of life, by understanding they are mere illusion on the ultimate standpoint. 

The   universe or illusion, which  appears and disappears is impermanent and whatever is experienced as reality within the universe or  illusion is bound to be illusion.  The truth has nothing to with the individual experiences with in the universe or  illusion, because it is not an entity or identity within the universe  illusion but it is the formless substance and witness of the illusion. The truth is hidden within the universe or  illusion and it is without the universe or  illusion.  

The Gnani is one who has become aware of  the formless witness, which is with in the three states and it is without the three states.  He is a man of perfection is one who learnt to reason on the the base of the formless witness. He has delved into and has become aware of the the formless soul or consciousness, the innermost  self and he transcended consciously all his identification with the physical existence. He has realized his universal identity is without the physical existence(body+world or mind).  

Such a perfect seer has, when once he has realized  the self is not physical but it is formless soul or consciousness or spirit, no longer is in bondage or burden of the physical existence, because  the physical existence is mere illusion on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness or spirit, which is the true self.  The perfect seer sees consciousness in everything and everywhere in the physical existence(illusion). Hence, the physical existence is mere mirage. There is no second thing exists, other then the consciousness, which is the nature of the soul or consciousness or spirit .

One has to come out of the prison of thoughts and words, and get direct realization of ultimate truth.

One should not  hold on  to any   words or quotes  quotes as truth, the words and quotes pointing towards truth, but  they are  not truth in itself.  One has  to verify the validity of every claim or declaration until they take him towards inner path.  

  One has  to think and think, until the inner dialogue starts, and  then only  he will start reasoning on his  own and realizes the fact that,  the self is not physical but it is the formless spirit. Once this happens the truth becomes easy to assimilate.

  The reasoning faculty ,which use to judge “what is good” and “what is bad” in us ,will starts reasoning “what is reality” and “what is unreality”  on the formless base.  Once one realizes the truth, then he is free from all complications, emotions, thoughts   and words. Through   perfect understanding, one  becomes aware of the fact that, even the body and the world and all its contents are consciousness, nothing but consciousness.  Thus, consciousness alone is real all else is illusion.   

One should  not accept  what anyone  says or what others quote as reality, without verification, if one is seeking truth. Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verification.  If words and quotes makes one  think ,  then his own reasoning faculty  will lead him towards the destination he seeking for.  

When one is  advancing towards the non-dual destination, he  will not rest until he  reaches what he is  seeking, his  reasoning faculty will guide him, until he gets un-contradictable/non-dual truth. The words and quotes are mere  pointers. Through well directed reasoning faculty, anyone one can realize the truth.  But most people have become stagnant with others thoughts/teachings/quotes/words , because, it pleases them and they are emotionally involved with it.

 When the whole diversity is created out of single stuff , then what else is there to know other then that unseen  stuff.   The knowing that unseen stuff  has become more complicated because one has  to come out of the prison of thoughts and words, and get direct realization of ultimate truth.
