Till one thinks ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as self, their understanding is egocentric





Pursuit of truth is not the pursuit of argument.  Until one makes his accepted truth as his yardstick without verification, he will never will be able to cross the threshold of duality because his understanding is  based on the ego, is not matured enough to grasp the non- dualistic truth, which is prior to his physical existence or mind, which is in the form of the universe.

The guru is not needed in pursuit of truth because the truth has to be ascertained by seeker himself. Advaitic or Nondual Wisdom will not rise from intellectual spoon feeding but it arises only from deeper self-search to the sincere and serious seeker who has an intense urge to know the ultimate truth or Brahman.    

Persons who are stuck with branded masters and guru and takes their guru’s word as final without verifying the validity of their Guru’s teaching.  They are stuck with their egocentric intellectuality, which is the greatest hindrance in realizing the ultimate truth.  Nothing has to be accepted truth without verification.

The people who are in the path of love and thinks love is the means and go out dancing and have fun. Love is essential and very valuable tool in practical life within the practical world but practical life within the practical world itself is an illusion.

There is no need to renounce practical life within the practical world one can love the whole humanity and have fun and dance like anyone else.  But whoever has an inner urge to know the reality of his true existence he can follow the path of love for practical purpose without disturbing his practical life and he can continue in his inner journey or pursuit of truth.    Path of love is  the path of individuality.  The individuality is nothing to do with the ‘Self’, which is not an individual because it is formless and nondual.

Till  one thinks ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as self, their understanding is egocentric. The egocentric understanding is not the realization of ultimate truth or Brahman.  They think by observing silence within the duality they pretend to show they are in Brahmic bliss. They fail to realize the fact that, truth is not an individual experience but it is the basis of all that exist in the form of duality.

The truth is hidden within the duality but it is without the duality. Till one considers self is an individual he will remain in the realm of intellectuality. Intellectuality belongs to individuality and individuality is a falsehood from ultimate standpoint.   Thus it is no use arguing with such mind set who are not ready and receptive to grasp and realize the nondual truth because they are stuck with their accepted truth as ultimate truth, without verifying the facts and they remain like stagnant water in a muddy pond. 

The guidance comes from any form when the seeker is ready and receptive to take the mental [inner] journey.  The people who are stuck with ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ as self  are eaten only the half cooked food are satisfied  with half-knowledge  and they will not be able to grasp  digest the fullness or oneness of the self or Brahman because their conviction about it is deep rooted .  Thus they remain in ignorance thinking they know everything without fully knowing what is what.
