Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and wisdom are one and the same thing



The path of wisdom is inner (mental) journey. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana and wisdom are one and the same thing. Without the intense urge it is difficult to tread this path. Self-realization is not an experience because self is not an individual because it is formless and it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Thus in reality the body and the world are one in essence. That essence is formless consciousness(soul). Thus there is neither experience nor experincer from ultimate standpoint. It is only mental effort through soul-centric reasoning to reach effortless state.

Deeper self-search reveals the fact that: -the experience implies duality. And duality is falsehood from ultimate standpoint. The ego, body and world appear together and disappear together. One cannot get rid of the ego alone. It is no use of challenging or indulging in argument whether one is right and others are wrong, in pursuit of truth, because pursuit of truth is pursuit of verification. It is for the seeker to know how he is right how others wrong and on what standpoint he is right and others are wrong. And seeker has to verify himself what he knows as truth, is truth or not.

Then only one will be able to realize:- The soul or consciousness, the innermost self is the witness-consciousness that experiences the action, the actor, and the world of separate things. It is like a light that illuminates everything in a theatre, revealing the master of ceremonies, the guests, and the dancers with complete impartiality. Even when they all depart, the light shines to reveal their absence.
