Pundits who take scriptures for granted are not Gnanis

In pursuit of truth the ultimate truth has to be proved, not assumed. Pundits who take scriptures for granted are not Gnanis.  The intellectuals by questioning others and trying to provoking others are unaware of the fact that the ultimate truth will not be revealed only through soul-centric reasoning.  It is foolish to argue holding waking entity, which is not the self.

If one says that he speaks to God everyday therefore he is sure that God exists always implies he must also exist always. Without his existence the god who speaks to him cease to exist. Thus he has to exist for his God to exist.

The inner revelation flash without any process of thought to mark the intervening stages; still they are ideas, mental phenomena in their full nature. When they project themselves into the mind or universe as an object then one becomes aware of the subject object relation and also the fact that the object is mere mirage created out of the formless subject, which is consciousness.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana cannot come if anything is left out. The all the three states must be included because the three states are one in essence.  Only when all is known can all be known to be but ideation. Hence yogis Samadhi cannot lead to self-knowledge or brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The thought, the ego, the body the world belongs to the waking experience. The intellectual may get the knowledge that the ‘witness  is separate from witnessed , but he will never know the ultimate truth  without inquiring into the world confronting him, because he is giving up the world, and hence cannot discover his unity with the world because man and his experience of the world are one in essence.  The Gnani regards everything in the world as consciousness; the intellectual rejects the world. Thus there is a fundamental difference.  The Gnani is soul-centric whereas the intellectual is egocentric.

Without inquiry into the world, which confronts one and its nature i.e. matter, there can be no such thing as self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Yogi who says he has experienced mystic exaltation, trances, meditations and peace is his individual experience thus it cannot be accepted as truth because the self is not an individual because it is formless. Thus yogic experiences are not Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. It vanishes when he comes out of trance or Samadhi because it was not the highest insight. The Gnani, however never loses his Gnana. Once one has thoroughly assimilated the truth he simply can't fall away from it.
