'Sage Sri, Sankara says:-  VC -62. A disease does not leave off if one simply utter the name of the medicine, without taking it; (similarly) without direct realization one cannot be liberated by the mere utterance of the word Brahman. To realize Brahman is not easy without perfect understanding of 'what is what'. One has to mentally reject the physical awareness (form, time and space) by perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘what is untruth’. Without knowing what is tru(...)'

';;;; To realize Brahman is not easy without perfect understanding of 'what is what'. One has to mentally reject the physical awareness (form, time and space) by perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’ and ‘what is untruth’. Without knowing what is truth’ it is impossible to reject the untruth. Till one holds the form, time and space as reality, it is impossible to realize the ultimate truth of Brahman.  Realization of the fact that, the form, time and space are one in essence (...)'

';;;; Many people quote Advaita without understanding it really in its highest aspect. One who calls himself an Advaitin, but  he follows the path of Advaitic orthodoxy : "How does he know 'what is Advaitic or non-dualistic truth', when he believes in a personal god and indulges in religious dogmas? The orthodox person is not qualified  for path of wisdom because   he strongly believes in the experience of birth, life, death, rebirth, heaven, hell, karma and (...)'

'If God exists, as he does for belivers  and yogis, and exists separately from them, then there is duality. the duality   always implies contradiction. On ultimate standpoint point the God is a mere belief or an idea, a thought, an object, therefore the self or witness, contradict God. When there are two, one thought contradicts another for one thought comes at one moment, and the other at another moment, both moments contradict; one cannot say they are identical.

'Sage Sri, Sankara said :-  Just as the snake is superimposed on the rope, this world and this body are superimposed on Brahman or the soul, the innermost self. If one gets knowledge of the rope, the illusion of the snake will vanish. Even so, if he gets knowledge of Brahman, the illusion of the body and the world will vanish.The snake is only an idea: it disappears on inquiry but deeper self-search reveals the fact that,   the rope is also an idea and its reality will(...)'

'Swami Vivekananda aptly described Sankara’s Advaita as the fairest flower of philosophy that any country in any age has produced.In Advaita Vedanta: - Brahman is without attributes and strictly impersonal. It can be best described as infinite Being, infinite Consciousness and infinite Bliss. It is pure knowledge itself, similar to a source of infinite radiance. Since the Advaitins regard Brahman to be the Ultimate Truth, so in comparison to Brahman, every other thing, including(...)'

For those who want to realise Him, they have to follow the path of moderation, righteousness and cosmic laws of necessity (Rta), which are permanent truths and His Commandments.Kena Upanishad 2-5 mentions that God can be realised in one life.

'It is not the man who has to be free but it is the soul, the innermost self has to be free by realizing it is not the man perceiving the world. People want to get freedom but the freedom comes only when the soul wakes up without the illusory body and the illusory world (duality).  It is the soul, the innermost self is in the cage of illusion. It is the soul that wants to get out of the illusion because the illusion and the reality are one in essence. That essence is the soul, w(...)'

Ultimate truth has to be proved, not assumed. Hence, so-called philosophers who take Brahman for granted are not philosophers at all.

'Ultimate truth has to be proved, not assumed. Hence, so-called philosophers who take Brahman for granted are not philosophers at all. Lots of Advaitin scholars will teach that all is yourself, but none of them can show that this is so, none has analyzed it scientifically, and none can prove it. Rational proof is required, so that one arrive at knowing the ultimate truth or Brahman i.e. Gnana.  Theirs is mere dogma, parrotism, repetition of what they read in scripture.  Aut(...)'

If one thinks physical entity or ego  as self, then there is a creator, but if one thinks the consciousness or consciousness  as the Self, then there is nothing exists other than the consciousness, which is the true self.  If one objectifies and sees a universe, then he is bound to see many things beside himself and postulate a God, the creator.

If one has to test truth in the next world only, then there is no proof of the existence of the next world, other than it is mentioned in the doctrines. The doctrines truth is not ultimate truth.

' ;;; The duality is present only when form, time and space are present. The form, time and space are one in essence. The ego, body and the world are one in essence.  That essence is consciousness. Thus there is no division in consciousness in reality.  The thinker, thought and the world are one in essence (soul or consciousness). The one who has realized the soul is the true self will not see the illusory division even though he is in the midst of duality. A Gnani is (...)'
