The God is not in any mosque, temple or church. The religious Gods are not God in truth.
Sage Sri, Goudpada’s rational exposition of Advaita: ~ “Whatever is seen, whether external or internal, whether by the ordinary persons or yogis, is unreal.
On the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’, whatever you have seen known and believed and experienced as a person becomes unreal (illusion). To realize the world in which you exist is an illusion you have to realize the fact that the ‘‘Self’ is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, the witness of the ‘I’. Unless you realize the ‘Self’ as the Soul, you are all blinded by the dualistic illusion.
The experience of the birth, life, death and the world as a reality within the waking experience. The waking experience is a parallel dream and dream is a parallel waking experience. The waking experience is the dualistic illusion.
To overcome the dualistic illusion you have to get rid of the ignorance by realizing the ‘Self’-is not the ‘I’. Until you hold the’ I’ as ‘‘Self’’, the ignorance will not vanish. So, there is a need to realize ‘what is this ‘I’?
You must realize the fact that, the ‘I’ is not the ‘‘Self’’, but the ‘‘Self’’ is the formless Soul the Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Since ‘I’ is the inborn conditioning and it will not vanish by inquiring ‘Who AM ‘I’? Or just saying ‘I AM THAT’ the ignorance will not vanish. There is a need of deeper understanding of the nature of the ‘I’.
Deeper Self- search reveals the fact that, the world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created by the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. And thus the existence of the world in which you exist is negated, where is then any room to say that the ‘I’ is the ‘Self’. Without the ‘I’ the world, in which you exist cease to exist.
The Soul is the innermost ‘Self’. The Soul is present in the form of the consciousness. The Soul is the substance and witness of the dualistic illusion. The Soul is the dualistic illusion and it is always apart from the dualistic illusion. The Soul is hidden by the dualistic illusion as its formless substance and it is without the dualistic illusion as its witness. in reality, the substance and witness of the illusion are one, in essence. That essence is the consciousness. Thus, the Soul, the consciousness alone is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Upanishads: ~ Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking they wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Upanishads Nikilanada - Ch II-5 P-14)
No one can teach anybody. The wisdom is hidden within the world in which you exist. A Gnani can only show the way that much is the work of a Gnani. A Gnani only guides the seekers to apply their own reason and realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space. When the seeker learns to view and judge and reason the three states on the base of the Soul, the truth will start unfolding on its own. First, the seeker may find it difficult to use Soulcentric reason but gradually it will become easy.
The ‘‘Self’-inquiry’ is finding out the ‘‘Self’’ which is hidden within the world, in which we exist. By inquiring ‘Who am I?’, the ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of the ignorance, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Without the Advaitic wisdom, it is not possible to realize the truth, which is hidden within the world in which we exist.
That is why Sage Sri Sankara Says: ~ VC-63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the ‘‘Self’’ how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.
What is the use of saying ‘I AM THAT’ without knowing what the ‘‘Self’’ is in actuality? Without knowing the truth of the ‘Self’, without realizing the truth of the world in which you exist it is impossible to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space. By a mere utterance of the word ‘I AM THAT', the truth will not be revealed. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
