Aghori-s

1. The 'Aghori-s' are a sect of Hindu spiritualists who practice the doctrine of non-duality through indulgence in extreme measures to realize the falsity of everything material (as Maya) and thereby realize that Brahman (Lord) alone is real. It is also a path to realize the self as are many other paths.

All Jiva-s on the correct path of spirituality eventually take up absolute Brahmacharya and become Urdhvareta-s. Becoming an Urdhvaretas is a stage which every Brahmachari eventually reaches and the same applies to Aghori-s as well.

2. The identification of consciousness with 'Asat' (the unreal) makes it forget its true nature. Such identification occurs on account of 'Agnyana' (ignorance) surrounding the pure self, of which the 'Ahamkara' (Ego) is an offshoot. The Ego by itself has no independent standing but is only a false superimposition on the eternal self. When it is got rid of through 'Sadhana' (practice) and 'Vichara' (inquiry), the self effulgent Atman (self) alone remains, which is free from all defects. The imaginary dualities do not present themselves from then onward.

Mere knowledge of the truth is not of much use. It is realizing the truth that matters. Such irreversible realization comes only upon negating all the Samskara-s (impressions) & Vasana-s (tendencies) blocking one's true identity with the self. Hence the need for Sadhana.
