People who stuck to their religious belief and think scriptural authorities as ultimate truth will not be able to assimilate Self- Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

 

Investigation through deeper thinking is the only tool to reach non-dual destination. The thoughts arise only when one is a person. Thoughts cannot rise without the form.  The form cannot exist without the world. The world ceases to exist without the mind. Mind ceases to exist without the consciousness. The consciousness is cause of the mind and it itself is uncaused. The mind is the product of ignorance. if there is no ignorance than there is no mind.   Thus wisdom is necessary to get rid of the ignorance.

Till man thinks himself as the doer he will remain in ignorance. If one remains ignorant he will not be able to believe the experience of birth, life death and the world is illusion.  Only when one realizes the three state are unreal than only he will not be able to accept the experience of birth, life, death and the world as illusion. If one has the conviction that waking is reality, the illusion or duality will prevail as reality and he will not be able to assimilate Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

People who stuck to their religious belief and think scriptural authorities as ultimate truth will not be able to assimilate Self- Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.   Soul, which is the innermost  self, is nothing to do with religion and its belief and  its code of conducts. Observing and following religious code of conducts is accepting the false self(waking)  as true self and false experience (waking) as reality. 

Accepting so-called spiritual laws is accepting the illusion as reality. So called laws are reality within the duality.  The one who thinks of existence spiritual laws is accepted himself as a person perceiving the world that is accepting himself as the "Self”. When the man is not the "Self, than how the actions done on the base of false identity can yield fruits.

Seeker has to think, when he is a false entity within the false experience, the religion he follows, the belief he is believes, the truth he has accepted, the knowledge he has accumulated, whatever he has seen known, experienced as a person bound to be falsehood.
