Blind beliefs without verification and argument based on scriptural interpretation and understanding based on the base of false self( ego or waking entity) are not verified knowledge therefore it is not ultimate truth or Brahman.

Path of truth is   path of verification. But in religion and yoga the verification is not allowed. Blind faith is main ingredient in belief system and yoga.   Gurudom is playing with words because maybe the meaning is floating somewhere in between the spaces of words...

People who think themselves to be in a position to air their knowledge forget one basic fact, namely that they go by mere appearances. Someone expounds knowledge and the one who receives it begins to ape the person from whom he has received the knowledge.  They never question the validity of that knowledge. 

Blind beliefs without verification and argument  based on scriptural  interpretation  and understanding based  on the base of false self( ego or waking entity)  are not verified knowledge therefore it is not ultimate  truth or Brahman.

v  What is the use of arguing on base of the birth entity, which is not the self?

v  What is the use of knowing what happens after death when the self is birthless? 

v  What is the use of thinking of the heaven and hell when the self is not an individual and it is never born and never dies?

When formless consciousness, is the innermost self, which pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states, what value the theoretical philosophies and scientific inventions   which are based on individual intellectuality will have.  

The consciousness is ultimate truth or Brahman. Consciousness is ground of the universe, the consciousness is the first cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused. 

Ultimate truth cannot be defined in positive terms because any definition would mean limitation.  One has to realize the fact that, the universe and all its contents are mere mirage created out of consciousness.  That means the mind and the soul, which is the innermost self are one in essence. 

Whatever One has heard, whatever he has been told, will have no value as far as the ultimate point of view. Whether one accepts the fact that, the only knowledge that he really has is the knowledge that he exists, that is consciousness. Other than that, whatever knowledge he thinks he has as a person, is part of the illusion, something acquired, based on the illusory consciousness.

The realization of truth is not intellectual understanding. Self- Realization is about realizing the fact that, the self is not physical, but it is the formless soul or consciousness.  Intellectual, logical, analytical perspective is based on the false self, will not help the seeker to reach his non-dual destination. The truth is beyond intellectual understanding and only the serious seekers who are free from preconceived accumulated ideas can acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
