The seeker after the truth should take to soul centric reasoning and discriminate between dual (waking or dream) and non-dual (deep sleep) experiences to realize what truth is and what is untruth.

The seeker after the truth should take to soul centric reasoning and discriminate between dual (waking or dream) and non-dual (deep sleep) experiences to realize what truth is and what is untruth. 

The seeker who has intense urge in knowing the truth and sharp in grasping, skilful in understanding and assimilating without the scriptures, the one who has got these characteristics is the fit recipient of the Self- knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

People, who have not become firm in their power of reason, quote someone else as authority to support their reasoning because they have not got fullest confidence in their own powers. 

When one is certain than  he does not need any authority to support or confirm himself. There is no need for it. To appeal to others views, indicates his own reasoning is incomplete. Thus seeker has to do his own homework independently. 

Gnani's quote the verified citation of scriptures or sages of the past just to inspire the seekers who hold scriptures are ultimate authority to show the scriptures or sages are saying the same thing. 

The seeker must not tell a lie is the first requirement in pursuit of truth.” What he like for practical life it is not concerned with. Seeker has to keep his intuitions and instincts at a distance and he has to stick to known fact. To inquire, analyse and reason means to go to the very end of things. 

Sharpness to grasp the truth is necessary in pursuit of truth. By merely hearing the truth mentioned they will grasp it. 

Seeker has to analyse the three states; and he has to think consistently on it. Exercise his thinking faculty and inquire continually; discrimination is essential; this practice is the only way to understand, assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. –FORMLESS PATH
