Comparing the Vedas with the Koran, or the Bible, or any other scriptures will not yield the truth, which is hidden by the illusory universe.

Religion was introduced in the past for the benefit of the populace, which is incapable of grasping the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

All the religions of the world are based on form, time, and space. Thus, religion has nothing to do with the pursuit of truth, because the truth is not belief, and religion is based on belief.

The belief is based on the individual, whereas the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, is not an individual because the invisible and unborn Soul is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The scriptures are not necessary to realize the ultimate truth, or Brahman, or God, or Spirit. The scriptures are meant for the ignorant populace.

Sage Sankara said: -Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way.(1) VivekaChudamani v 56, pg 25

Sage Sankara said:- The world is unreal and Brahman alone is real. It means the birth, life, and death, which happen within the world, have to be unreal. If birth, life, and death are unreal, then the rebirth and reincarnation, and the Avatharic concept have to be unreal.

Thus, it is for the seeker to find out, from what standpoint the world becomes unreal, to know the Brahman, which is the ultimate truth or God in truth.

The ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth cannot be attained by the study of the scriptures of any religion, or by intelligence, or by much hearing of sacred books then why compare Vedas with Bible or Koran or any other religious scriptures to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time and space.

Katha Upanishad:~ This Atman cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas, or by intelligence, or by much hearing of sacred books. It is attained by him alone whom it chooses. To such a one, Atman reveals its own form. (Katha Upanishad Ch-II -23-P-20)

Mundaka Upanishad: ~ This Atman cannot be attained through study of the Vedas, nor through intelligence, nor through much learning. He who chooses Atman—by him alone is Atman attained. It is Atman that reveals to the seeker its true nature. (3 –page-70 Upanishads by Nikilanada)

The above passages further prove that: Self-knowledge cannot be attained by the study of the Vedas and intellectual understanding, or by bookish knowledge.

The Vedas and other scriptures of the other religions are not the means to acquire non-dual wisdom.

That is why Bhagavan Buddha rejected the scriptures, and even Sage Sankara indicated that the truth lies beyond religion, the concept of god, and the scriptures. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
