Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana destroys ignorance and makes one free from experiencing duality as reality

Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  destroys ignorance and makes one free from experiencing duality as reality. The subject-matter of the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Soul. Formless soul is present  in the form of consciousness. consciousness  is the only Reality because  the three states are created sustained and finally dissolves as consciousness.  Soul-centric reasoning  is the only tool to acquire Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana .

The transmigrating self is indeed ultimate reality. The one who knows the “Self “as “Soul”, which is beyond form,time and space  becomes one with it. Through Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana one becomes aware of the fact that,  the idea creator and creation are base on the false self(ego or waking entity) within the false experience.

The experience of  birth, life and death are based on the false self (ego or waking entity) with the false experience(waking).   by realizing the existence of the formless witness,which is the soul and negating the three states mentally  by realizing the three states are one in essence leads one to non-dual Self-Awareness.

The ultimate truth cannot be directly described by words because it is not and entity or identity or thing  within the waking or dream. It is the within the three states but it is without the three states because it is formless and  apart from the three states. It is within the three states as their formless substance and it is apart from the three states as their formless witness. Therefore, the substance and witness of the three states are one in essence. That  essence is consciousness. therefore consciousness alone is real and eternal.

The three states appear to be real, because of our ignorance. In self-awareness the form,time and space are one in essence. thus there is no second thing other than consciousness.  The soul   is not  limited by form,time and space. The limiting the soul or consciousness, the innermost self  to the physical entity is cause of ignorance. Ignorance is cause of  experiencing the duality as reality

Because of the soul all the activities in the waking or dream takes place.  The soul is main power behind the physical existence or universe or waking. From the ultimate stand point soul  or consciousness alone exists. the three states are ere mirage created out of consciousness.

from ultimate standpoint  The three states are unreal.  just as an object experienced in dream cannot have any association with an object known in the waking experience.  The form, time and space are reality within the waking and dream. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place similarly the waking becomes unreal when the non-dual wisdom dawns. 

The existence of the paradise or heaven exists according to the belief of religious believers

The existence of the paradise or heaven exists according to the belief of religious believers. However where people have got a little thinking capacity, they begin to disbelieve through the contradictions of various contending orthodox claims and descriptions because they ceases to exit without physical self/ego.  Whatever is based on the physical self or waking entity or ego is bound to be falsehood because the physical self or waking entity or ego exists within the falsehood. 

There is no need to condemn any religion or religious beliefs. But it is for the seeker of truth to find out how the religion becomes an obstacle in pursuit of truth for his own information.  People hold any belief, any imagination they like in that realm. In religion the question of truth does not arise, only the question of what appears to one or what he believes in.

The religion is easy to follow because on has to only believe in the imagination propagated by it with blind faith. But the path of truth is verification of what one believes in.    One may  feel the path of truth is  very difficult  in the beginning but  gradually as one becomes aware of the fact that, the self is not physical and learns to view and judge the worldview on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness, the innermost  self, then  it becomes easier to thread the path.

It is difficult for the religionists and intellectuals to tread the path of truth, because they base them selves on the physical self or waking entity or ego. But for  the one, whom self-knowledge  or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  is  the supreme goal, who are ready to  renouncing  the ignorance, in order to realize the ultimate truth,  and reflect on  the soul or consciousness , the innermost self  with devotion, becomes  free from experiencing  the illusory cycle of birth and death and  become conscious of consciousness which is the true self and the eternal identity.

Theology is mere study, writing, research, or speaking on the nature of gods, especially in relation to human experience.  Therefore, theology is based on the physical self or waking entity or ego. Whatever is based on the physical self or waking entity or  ego is mere imagination or a theory based intellectual speculation without any finality. 

Theological studies are usually done in religious institutions where the promotion of religious beliefs is part of the mission. Thus, theology is based on the false self  or waking entity or ego; therefore it cannot yield any truth. 

The seeker of truth has to move from unreality to reality, from ignorance to wisdom, untruth to truth, from mortality to immortality and diversity to unity.  

Waking experience remains as reality until one accepts the birth, life and death as reality.

Waking experience remains as reality until one accepts the birth, life and death as reality. The birth, life and death are reality within the waking experience.  The waking disappears when the deep sleep appears and the dream remains as reality until waking takes place. The one which is aware of all the three states in succession is not the waking entity but it is the soul, which is in the form of the consciousness.     The waking becomes unreal when one becomes aware of the fact that , the self is not physical but the self is the formless soul or consciousness.

The waking is parallel dream and dream is parallel waking. The substance and witness of the waking and dream is formless consciousness. 

Non-dual Truth can be known, realized directly by anyone without the help scriptures, theories and teachings.   There is no need to believe or accept blindly; seeker can find out for himself by inquiring, analyzing and reasoning.

Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  means knowledge of the innermost self  which is  formless and eternal .

There is no need to believe in Karma theory because it is based on the physical self or waking entity or ego  and physical self or waking entity or ego  is false self within the false experience(waking) . Seeker of truth should not believe in anything without concrete proof.

 There is no need discuss, debate or do any research on whatever  is based on the physical self or waking entity or ego  because the physical self  or waking entity or ego is the false self within the false experience(waking).

The peace and happiness depends on the environment and circumstances within the experience of duality. If everything goes well, you will be happy. If things do not happen the way one wants it   or if undesirable events happen in life then there is suffering. 

Pursuit of truth shows a way out of this oscillation. It helps one to find the truth that the pain and pleasure are part of the duality and duality is not reality.  Therefore there is a need to know the fact that,  the true self is not physical self, which is being affected by the events in the world. The formless substance and witness of the physical existence (waking)is the true self, and it is unaffected by the illusory experience of pain and pleasure . 

Sex to Super-consciousness is based on imagination.+

Soul  or consciousness is the Self. Soul, the Self is genderless because it is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul, the  Self is not an individual because it is Spirit. The Soul, the Self is sexless.  The idea of Sex to Super consciousness is merely imagination and imagination on this  subject leads to hallucination.  

When self is not physical the question of sex does not arise. Without Advaitic wisdom, the physicality and physical act will remain as reality. 

If one accepts the sex then he is accepting the physical existence is reality. If one accepts the physical existence as reality, then he cannot think beyond birth, life and death.  

If one cannot think beyond birth, life and death then he has to accept the world as reality. If one accepts the world as reality then the non-dual realization is an impossibility.

When the experience of diversity is created of single stuff, which is consciousness how the division within the consciousness can be true. The diversity within consciousness is merely an illusion, therefore any act and activities within the illusion are bound to falsehood. Therefore, Sex to Super consciousness is mere idea based on the physical self.

Sex is the activity based on the false self (ego) within the false experience (waking); therefore it has nothing to do with the pursuit of truth. 

Any experience experienced as a person is bound to be falsehood, experience means duality and duality is not reality.  All the ideas are connecting sex and trying to gain the state of  bliss are merely imagined on the false self (ego)  within the false experience (waking). 

To know the non-dualistic truth no prior exposure to the any teachings is required, and no prerequisites are required, anyone who has intense urge can know and realize the non-dualistic truth.:~Santthosh Kumaar 

It is necessary to unfold the truth of man’s existence, before investigating about gods’ existence.

People think god is somewhere, up there, monitoring every act of the people, guiding the lost and uplifting the poor. God is the one who punishes the evil and rewards the benevolent.

Some people even claim of seeing them in stone idols or some conceptual belief, in inanimate or living things. Is it our faith that makes us believe that there is some supreme power above us or is it a reality, can never be answered.  Until this conviction is there, one is in the grip of physicality. The physicality keeps one in the ignorance of our true identity, which is not physical.  Therefore, there is a need to verify the fact that, the self is not physical but it is the formless soul. 

 When one becomes aware of the fact that, the soul  is the true self, then he realizes the fact that, whatever known, seen, believed and experienced on the base of the false self or waking entity or ego  is falsehood. The man and his experience of the universe  are  reality within the false experience.  Thus man and his experience of the world and his belief of god and his accumulated knowledge is falsehood, because the waking experience is mere mirage on the standpoint of the true self, which is the soul. the soul is in the form of consciousness.  On the standpoint of the soul  or consciousness, the innermost self, the consciousness alone is real and all else is mere illusion.

Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning clear all the doubts and makes one realize the ultimate truth is consciousness , and ultimate truth itself is God or  Brahman or Christ or Buddha or Self.

 Atheists has availed themselves of seemingly unanswerable objections to disprove the existence of god. Atheists hold all the argument offered by the philosophies in this connection is beside point. They say that it is no matter for gratification of the almighty god created the world so full of misery. If one concede that god has free will and yet created the world of suffering one has to admit ,they argue that god is merciless and partial and is governed by like and dislikes. Therefore it is highly foolish to recognize a god so full of evil.

Atheism is pretentious in the sense of claiming to know more than it does. It claims to know what belief in god entails, and what religion, in all its infinite variety, essentially is. And Atheism is in muddled because it cannot decide on what grounds it ultimately objects the  religion and belief of God.

The quest of truth begins with inquiring: Is there a God ? what is his nature?

There has to be a proof. When such questions arise then it is the starting point of the quest for truth. Everyone has their own idea of god or no God, according to his parental grooming or accepted idea through circumstances. But he must know god as Truth. One must have proof of that God has created man and the world, because, no one has seen god creating the creation.  One can only assume or imagine about the existence of god.  God exist only for those who accept the belief system.

v  Why did God create pain and pleasure?

v  Why does he crate pleasure and make one indulge in pleasure?

v  Why does he torture people with misery, new epidemics, terrorism, and wars?

v  Has God no better business to do?

 Why he created pain and pleasure in his creation?

v  Is god a sadist and teaching people lessons through these violence and sufferings.

v  What lesson can God teach the people died in terrorism and wars, which is going on in the name of religion and god?

v  How can one accept that God is all-merciful when he constantly displeases all humanity with hide and seek play of pain and pleasure?

v  How does one know that man is related to God?

v  Why God created injustice, oppression, starvation, poverty, exploitation, inequality, slavery, epidemics, violence and wars?"

Only through scriptures one is saying man and world are creation of god.  No one has ever seen God, creating this universe, that he has manifested himself is merely supposed. Even it may be god’s creation, but how do one know, because man and world was not in existence prior to his creation. Man is talking of gods’ creation only after god created it. The religion, scriptures saints and sages prophets came into existence only after the creation came into existence.  Therefore, the scriptures cannot be taken as proof.

The saints and sages, prophets, might have been imagined the existence of god. To accept these scriptures blindly without reasoning is to possess the sheepish mentality.

Inquiry implies doubt, proof, evidence, so that even if God were to come and say that He is God, one would inquire into the truth of the statement. People are overawed by doctrines enunciated upon authority of some god men or religion or scripture.

The truth is universal, not individual. The truth must be tested.  If it is true, it will survive the test and will bear proof, without any scriptural authority to support it.  The idea of god cannot stand without the religious authority.  The religious authority suggests the existence of god but it cannot prove his existence. Blindly believing and belief is not the proof, because the belief is not god.

The truth has to be un-contradictable and it has to universally applicable. The truth has to be common for all people who pursue inquiry to the utmost extent.  The world often appears to be a reality when it is not properly inquired into. Even if most of the population declare that this world is the ultimate reality, their assertion is of less value than the assertions of a seekers of truth who have inquired into the nature and reality of the world and found it to be an idea.

Conviction of the Truth comes only by adequate reasoning in right direction. The bookish knowledge is not the means to acquire Self-Knowledge; there must be reasoning on them to know they are speaking of un-contradictable truth.

Some have got faith in a particular religion or teaching. Some have no faith in them. Thus there is contradiction. Nothing can be done about it. In the real truth there can be no contradiction, nor any possibility of it.

How does one know there a God? The onus of proof is on the one who makes this assertion.  Without proof one should not accept any doctrine. To reason means to go to the very end of things.

Verification, the testing and proving of truth, is absolutely necessary in pursuit of truth; in religion the truth is merely assumed.

There are degrees of truth, most doctrines are partially correct in coming gradually nearer to truth and thus pointing towards it.  Only nondual alone cannot be contradicted, all others are contradictable. The religion is based assuming the existence of god.  Mere assuming the existence of the god makes one accept the duality as reality.  The idea of god makes one think he an individual separate from the world and idea of god. Until this conviction is there discovering, assimilating and realizing the ultimate truth is impossibility.

As deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base reveals the fact that, the nature of truth is nondual. It can never be changed under any circumstances. It may be misrepresented. It must apply to the whole of existence, to the whole of the three states. It is in the experience of duality alone that one has all changes.

 The ultimate truth remains unchanged and remains immortal. It can never die for it never changes. The mind is seen, and goes, but the witness or knower of the mind, can never go. Seeker has to take this principle as his guiding thread and nondual truth becomes easy to assimilate.

 The reality can never be subject to the changes of the unreal; it is unchanged. The mistake usually made is that real becomes unreal, or that unreal is real.

Scholastic or mystic argument leads nowhere. If one says “God is formless “another will say, God has a form. If one says "this scriptures has higher then all other scriptures” another will say, "No, that is lower and there are many scriptures higher then that." It is impossible to get anywhere with such talk because both sides are merely assuming and imagining. Truth means the absence of conflict.

The soul /spirit dwell in all the three states as their formless substance and witness. People worship only images or their belief, thinking that God is there. People do not recognize Spirit /Soul / Self to be the real God, but that they do not realize that god, as the spirit, which pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states.

The ignorant people are not capable of   discriminate and reason to unfold the mystery of the mind. Therefore, they will not be able to grasp the nondual truth. It is realization of the true self that will free one from bondage of duality, which he experiences as reality.  But the belief system makes them to believe the duality is reality therefore, they cannot think beyond physicality. The individualized god can exist only in duality.    

No one has ever seen God; they only heard or read about him. Some may claim they seen him in their vision.  But vision is mere an experience similar to dream. If one takes the visions as real then the dream also has to be taken as reality. Observe how one religion is inimical towards another. Why has God created them so?

 No one knows god’s capacities, what he can create, and what he cannot create. Therefore, any statement one might make about God would only be a lie, because god can exist only when man exists, and believes in the belief of god. If there is no belief then there is no god. Thus god is the religious software used in belief system.  If the software is discarded then it is only physical existence that prevails.  The truth will unfold only when one is able to know the truth beyond the physical existence.

The truth of religion can only be proved by physical strength or by imagination, or power of the weapon or political power, never by reason.  Belief in religious prohibitions arises out of fear of God's punishment.  Religion is not truth merely because it always shows contradiction.

Seeker of truth has to regard the theosophy in the same way as he regards the idea of God of religion.  Mere assuming or imagining the gods’ existence through belief will remain as belief. The belief is not truth, because every religion has its own belief, thus belief is limited to individuality, so it is not universal.   The belief cannot be god, because to believe in something man has to exist prior to god to believe. Until and unless one finds the answer for: with what the physical body is able to function itself as a person and perceive the world, the truth will not be unfolded.  The truth is based on the power which holds the physical existence, not on the physical existence, which appears and disappears.   

Religionists place God as the unknown reality and they base everything on the creation and creator theory. Every religionist has a different idea of God. Every man has a different idea of reality, hence there is need to know the ultimate truth.  The fallacy of religionist’s appeal to scripture lies in the varying and conflicting interpretations of the same scripture which different persons feel entitled to give or hold.

Therefore, one has overcome all the inherited conditioning of belief system to unfold the mystery of the physical existence/mind.  Reason is common to all, whereas belief system is based on individual speculation and imagination.  The truth cannot be based on the belief system or on its scriptures. 

Scripture can be interpreted in a many different ways and hence can never finally determine truth. Many scholars, god men, priests and intellectuals, each have different interpretations for example.  Most people take their own interpretations and call it truth.

The god exists only when the man exists. Man and his experience of the world exist only when the mind exists. Therefore it is necessary to unfold the truth of man’s existence, before investigating about gods’ existence.   Until and unless one is able to unfold the mystery of the mind, which appears and disappears, he will not be able to know the reality of the true existence.

Individualized God propagated by the belief system can exist only in experience of duality. Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning revels the fact that, the self is not physical, but it is the formless spirit. The experience of duality(waking or dream)  is mere mirage on the standpoint of the formless soul or consciousness the innermost self .  Reasoning on the physical base is erroneous when one finds the fact that the self is not physical. Therefore, one has to base the reason on the soul, the innermost self.

Whatever is seen known believed and experienced as a person within the mirage is bound to be falsehood, because they are based on the false physical self. The seeker can become aware of the fact that, physical existence is mere mirage, when he indulges in deeper self-search.

Thus, man and his experience of world and his belief of god is part and parcel of the mirage. The mirage is created, sustained by spirit and finally it dissolves as spirit. The formless substance and witness of the mirage is real and eternal.

Reason is not intuition but that which exercise of thinking faculty which distinguishes between error and truth. But reason must be rectified from form base to formless base. The aim is to rectify it and make use of it. When it is rectified, the closer to truth one proceeds.

Therefore, deeper reasoning is necessary in order to unfold the mystery of the physical existence or mind or universe  to realize the fact that, the physical existence or universe  is mere mirage.  Only the ultimate truth  or Brahman can be taken as god, because god is not an entity or identity within the experience of diversity because it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states.
