Through deeper self-search one can acquire the Self –knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana in lesser time and effort.

By quoting one authority from one scripture, and another authority from another scripture, and trying to prove and realize the truth is like, trying to drain the ocean drop by drop. 

As Sage Sri, Ramana Maharishi said: scriptural knowledge is conceptual divisions invented by teachers of philosophy by their excessive analysis. Where do all these concepts end? Why should confusion created and then explained away? Fortunate is the man who does not lose himself in the labyrinths of philosophy, but goes straight to the source from which they all arise.

When Ramana Maharishi indicated the direct path to the truth, is the source from which the false arises. Thus the source is the soul or Atman, which is the true self. Atman itself is Brahman.  Thus it is necessary to view the worldview on the base of the source, which the true self, and formless substance and witness of the experience of diversity.  Through deeper self-search  one can acquire the Self –knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  in lesser time and effort.  The unity in diversity is possible only through self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana  not by mastering the scriptural knowledge.

Orthodox and pundits have “I know” attitude, therefore, they think others know nothing.  They pretend to be listening but they think others are in   a primitive people who could not possibly have anything to share with them.” This type of outlook is great obstacle in pursuit of truth. The orthodoxy is greatest hindrance in realizing the non-dualistic  truth.
