Saguna Brahman has no place in Vedas.+

Saguna Brahman represents Puranic Gods, which are barred by Vedas because Vedic God is Athma or Nirguna Brahman.

Saguna Brahman has no place in Vedas.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the “Self’. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Saguna Brahman is meant for ignorant people who are incapable of grasping and realizing the Nirguna Brahman.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods (Saguna). (7- Verse -20)

Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman (God) is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other beside it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It. In Brahman, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constitutes the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman and not just Its attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.

The ultimate truth or Brahman must be independent of religion, that in Sage Sankara himself’ the Saguna Brahman or a personal God is the only a part of the phenomenal (if not illusory) world, and the Nirguna Brahman is the only reality and has nothing to do with religion. :~Santthosh Kumaar

The Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. If the Self is the invisible...
