People who are yearning for spiritual truth will not find it through intellectualism





Pursuit of truth or Path of wisdom is only for those who found the path of religion, path of yoga and all theoretical philosophy and scriptural studies are inadequate and useless to quench their inner thirst. 

People who are yearning for spiritual truth will not find it through intellectualism. Intellectual truth is individual truth. individuality is part of the illusion. the innermost self is not an individual because it is formless and it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. thus knowledge based on the waking entity is nothing to do with the ultimate truth. 

Thus, Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is meant only for those who have intense urge, and courage to accept the truth with humility and reject the untruth. Since people start comparing with their scriptural and intellectual knowledge, it becomes impossible to assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. Therefore, there is no need to convince anyone other than our own-selves to get the firm conviction. 

It is for every seeker who is in the path of truth to prove himself to know “What is truth, “and “What is untruth?” to assimilate the Self -knowledge. 


By becoming more and more intellectual one becomes more and more intoxicated to individuality. The intellectuality is limited to duality. In realm of truth the intellectuality is replaced by non-dual wisdom. There is nothing exist other than formless non dual existence. Therefore, there is no individual to become sane or insane. There is no second thing exists, other than consciousness. Everything is one, that is, unity in diversity. The curiosity, urge cannot be imposed on others. it has to sprout within. One need not become holy Shepard because the holy Shepard is within to guide every seeker. If one is aiming to be a master, Guru or teacher, he will never reach the ultimate destination. One has to share his knowledge with the fellow seeker not to make them his followers but only direct them if they are interested to travel beyond form, time and space. 

It is foolish to impose our idea on others because everyone is not in same level of understanding. Every one's inner work is on. When they are ripe enough they will understand, assimilate and realize on their own. If they are ready and sharp enough they will grasp it instantly and they will reach their destination with lesser time and effort. Thus preaching, teaching is not wisdom, but by very careful reasoning, seeker has to determine the nature of reality. Thinking in right direction alone helps seeker determining the nature of reality.

The sugar cannot know itself its sweetness. The true self without ignorance is without the experience of duality or illusion. Thus one has to base on the sugar not on its sweetness. Without the sugar there is no sweetness. Similarly without the consciousness, the three states cease to exist as reality.
