In the Samkhya tradition, there is Purusha and there is Prakriti is based on the dualistic perspective. And these two are as separate as the clockmaker and the clock*****.

Sage Sri, Sankara: ~ Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by good work, nor by learning Self- realization is possible.

Advaita is the nature of the Soul. Advaita is second to none. Advaita is universal wisdom reveals on its own to all the serious and sincere seekers of truth.

The real Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sri, Sankara is soulcentric knowledge.  The Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is soulcentric knowledge destroys the ignorance.

In the Samkhya tradition, there is Purusha and there is Prakriti is based on the dualistic perspective. And these two are as separate as the clockmaker and the clock.

Sage Sri, Sankara says:  VC- How can the talk of diversity, dvaita, apply to the Supreme Reality which is one and homogeneous, Advaita? Who has ever observed diversity, dvaita, in the unmixed bliss of the state of profound sleep?

On nondualistic perspective, the Atman, the Self is which they call it as Purusha. The Atman is the fullness of the consciousness.  The illusory world, in which we exist they call it Prakriti.

On nondualistic perspective, the Atman (purusha)   and the world (prakriti) are one in essence;   therefore they are not two because.  The world is an illusion created out of the single clay. And that single clay is Atman, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

Sage Sri, Sankara: ~ VC 56. Neither by Yoga, nor by Sankhya, nor by good work, nor by learning, but by the realization of one's identity with Brahman is Liberation possible, and by no other means.

That is why Sage Sri,  VC-  v6~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not  even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together.

Sage Sri, Sankara goes on to say: ~A sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman.” Brahman must be realized. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely a noise. Until a man has destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying “I am a king.”

Sage Sri, Sankara says:~   A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.

The Atmic path is not for the religious and yogic minded people. Religious and yogic people must move on their chosen path. The Atmic path is for only seekers of truth who are seriously searching the truth of their own existence.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences the birth, life, death and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as the consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing exists other than the Soul or the consciousness. Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time and space. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
