Brahman is Atman, Atman is Brahman. That’s the whole deal. Truth has no teaching, requires no guru, and is not a spiritual pursuit. That bears repeating: Truth is not a spiritual pursuit. A guru may be necessary to follow a teaching, but to make a journey we must cut everything away, gurus and teachings included. We can sit together, but we must travel alone. If you think you see more in Advaita, or any teaching, then look down and watch those vines wrapping around your ankles.
