The great revealed scripture known as the Crest Jewel of Discrimination is herein scrutinized from the standpoint of its enlightening conclusion on the profound subject of Vedanta. Nothing is left untold, from the loftiest nondual principles on out to the nature of the luminary who embodies and transmits them — as related by one of the most authentic of all nondualists that the world has ever seen.

The 3 States, 7 Limbs, & 14 Mouths of the Individual #114
The most advanced spiritual luminaries declare unanimously that “All is Brahman.” When they state this great Truth they mean it transcendentally, but they also intend that it be taken literally and immanently. This chart explains how the apparently individualized soul, the jivatman, is really the Supreme Soul, Paramatman; jiva is Siva! It may shift its locale in awareness when it visits dream and deep sleep, and it also consumes and exudes the natural world while in the waking state — all with its 19 mouths. Considering the individual, or oneself, in this unique and more enlightened way, the chasm between God and mankind can be breached, and the unity of “I and my Father are one,” or “Tat Tvam Asi,” can be realized. This is the best of informed cosmology and all-pervasive nonduality.
From Atomic Particles to Atmic Particles #61
The final conclusion of the luminaries and the revealed scriptures is that “All Is Brahman.” But how can this ultimatum be believed when Brahman cannot be an object, an energy, or a thought? As Sri Ramakrishna explained, Brahman, Divine Reality, infuses everything like sweetness permeates sugar cane juice. The same sunlight appears in multiple dew drops that have collected on garden flowers in the early morning. The Light of Consciousness shines in all individuals, and all things — though apparently separated. Similarly, in keeping with the trends of modern science and contemporary human understanding, a way to understand the all-pervasive nature of Consciousness is through examining particles. Western Science has done so on the physical level, but the ancient contemplatives of India saw past the atomic particle and perceived Consciousness vibrating at subtler and subtler levels. This inner vision also revealed to them the presence of inner realms and the secrets of where the eternal Soul goes to and comes from before birth and after death. Whether put in terms of bodies, worlds, deities, or vibration, in-depth teachings on particles clarify our comprehension.

Asparsha Yoga — The “Nontouch” Yoga #97
Does Nonduality have a practice? The seers who abide in this singular state tell us that as long as the soul inhabits the body, just so long will it need to exert effort towards maintaining its awareness of Formless Reality. This subtle most practice has been termed Advaita Vedanta Sadhana, which can be defined as the spiritual self-effort performed effortlessly by the luminary for the purpose of keeping the mind’s impurities from rising. Gaudapada’s rendering of Asparsha Yoga has all the characteristics of such a sublime inner practice, which show up as a distilled list of observances and divine expressions in the one adhering to it.
