please also mention that guidance from a bonafide teacher is a must for spritual advancement; but, people today are not willing to surrender completely upon their teachers, hence, almost not possible to gain such experience and realization, maharaj!

@ my man...... GURU = GU + RU. GU means darkness and RU means that which removes darkness. So, your guru can be anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be a human being. I have so many gurus like Sun, Trees, Fire, Forest, Space, Hunger, etc.. Also, guru can appear in your dream as well. When ego slowly fades away from you mind, celestial divine being and Siddha Mahapurush from Deva Loka can come in your dream and guide you. The main important thing is that you always apply 'self-effort' from your side. When you are ready, guru automatically appears in your life and can appear in any form. So, don't hanker after gurus if you don't have one. All the necessary ingredients and environment will be provided to you when you are gradually self-transforming.

This view seems to be closer to Yogacara (योगाचार) School or Mind-only School (of Mahayana Buddhism) largely formulated by the Brahmin half-brothers Asaṅga and Vasubandhu. COMPARATIVE YOGACARA IDEALISM Last edited: 22-Sep-15 05:47 PM

Advaita Vedanta is the negation of all phenomena and coming into conclusion that nothing exist but Brahman. Brahman was, Brahman is, and Brahman will be. One Absolute Reality without a second. Rest is all dream.

There is no such thing as what we really are (self). The doctrine of selflessness (no self or no soul or anatman). Varieties of Self (in ancient Indian schools of thoughts) : A talk by Dan Arnold at Scripps College (Claremont, California)

Yogacharans are getting lost in conceptual truths (I think).

These different links, twelve in number, Which Buddha taught as dependent origination, Can be summarized in three categories: Mental afflictions, karma and suffering. [1] The first, eighth and ninth are afflictions, The second and tenth are karma, The remaining seven are suffering. Thus the twelve links are grouped in three. [2] From the three the two originate, And from the two the seven come, From seven the three come once again— Thus the wheel of existence turns and turns. [3] All beings consist of causes and effects, In which there is no 'sentient being' at all. From phenomena which are exclusively empty, There arise only empty phenomena. All things are devoid of any 'I' or 'mine'. [4] Like a recitation, a candle, a mirror, a seal, A magnifying glass, a seed, sourness, or a sound, So also with the continuation of the aggregates— The wise should know they are not transferred. [5] Then, as for extremely subtle entities, Those who regard them with nihilism, Lacking precise and thorough knowledge, Will not see the actuality of conditioned arising. [6] In this, there is not a thing to be removed, Nor the slightest thing to be added. It is looking perfectly into reality itself, And when reality is seen, complete liberation. [7] This concludes the verses on 'The Heart of Dependent Origination' composed by the teacher Arya Nagarjuna.
