Self-knowledge will interest only few
people; the rest are interested egocentric paths, such as in Religion, yoga theoretical philosophy.
Everyone is not in same level of understanding, some are in
elementary level and some are in advanced stages. In elementary stages we have
to use more words and concepts to make them understand and also to overcome the
inherited conditioning, for advanced seekers are sharp enough to understand
assimilate the truth with lesser words.
Spiritual pursuit is a very personal journey. Seeker of
truth has to bifurcate everything which is based on the waking entity or ego,
[false self-], such as religion, God, path of love and humanity and theories and philosophy in order to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Seeker of truth should not indulge in condemning religion
and yoga or its Gurus or Gods and its code of conduct. But he has to highlight
its fallacy for his own information, which helps him to proceed deeper in
investigation.
Seeker of truth has to mingle and discuss with like minded
people but never indulge in arguments about religious doctrines and teachers
and teachings and philosophies.
Religion and god and guru glorification and scriptural
studies or yoga are not needed in pursuit of truth. Only one must have the
intense urge to know the truth and courage to accept the truth and reject the
untruth, when un-contradictable truth is revealed through inquiry analysis and
reasoning.
A receptive mind free from religious and yogic or any sort
of knowledge based on the ego is very much necessary to acquire the non-dual
wisdom.
It is not the waking entity that has to get freedom but it is the Soul , the innermost self
that is seeking freedom from experiencing the illusory experience of birth, life, death and universe
as reality. Only when self-wakes up from the sleep of ignorance by realizing
its formless non-dual true nature the freedom happens. For this it has to drop
the inborn samskara or conditioning of ‘I’ or ‘I AM’ by realizing it not ‘I’ or
‘I AM’.
It is erroneous to judge the truth on the base of waking entity, when the self is
not the waking entity. The self is not the waking entity; therefore the individual waking life is
nothing to do with the formless soul the innermost self.
The experience of birth, life, death and
the universe are part and parcel of the waking experience ,which is mere illusion. Thus one need not here enter into any account
of the course that the soul with its ignorance takes after death—along the way
of the fathers, or of the Gods, or being debarred from either, according to its
works and knowledge. Nor need one enter into any of the other
psychological questions connected with the state of the soul
after the death of the body or waking entity.
Self is neither the waking entity nor the self is dream entity but self is the formless soul,which witnesses the three states. the soul is present in the form of consciousness.
The formless soul, the innermost self, is not an individual and it is birth- less, deathless because it is formless. Soul or consciousness pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Therefore it is erroneous to base the ultimate truth, on the individual experience of birth, life, death, God and universe .

Suffice it to say that the round of samsara remains for all
except those who have attained the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. He who has attained to the
knowledge of the identity of the self with consciousness, which involves the
distinction of the self from its ignorance and consequently its freedom from
them, has thereby attained Moksha, or freedom. This is a freedom for which one
has not to wait till after death, but it may be possessed even in this very life.
