Peoples observation based on dualistic (form, time and space) perspective, whereas a Gnanis judgment is based on the nondualistic (soul or consciousness) perspective. What is the use of discussing about the karma, which takes place within the unreal world? Instead one has to find how this world is unreal (illusion). In Atmic discussion, the form, time and space (universe) are mere an illusion. The karma is possible within the scope of the experience of the form, time and space (universe). That is why Sage Sri, Goudpada said: - The merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect, while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect. Thus Sage Sri Goudpada suggests that, the religious paths and worship of the guru and conceptual god are lower and middling intellect. But in this modern world people are sharp enough to understand and assimilate the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. Thus people who want higher truth then it is high time to discard the lower knowledge and move ahead to realize the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God. That is why Sage Sri, Sankara says: - VC- 65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments. 66. Therefore the wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and deaths. When one realizes the fact that, the whole universe and its contents, movable and immovable, is known to be consciousness, and thus the existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say that the universe is the universe. Universe and its contents bound to be consciousness. Thus consciousness alone is real and eternal.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
