Are we praying or worshipping the real God?

Katha Upanishad says:~ Fools dwelling in darkness but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go round and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind. (Ch II-5 P-14)

Religious truth is individual truth. Religious truth has nothing to do with Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Even the scriptures also direct to the Self alone. There are lots of add-ons and adulterations to the scriptures by different founders of the sects in the past, and the real spiritual essence is lost.

People are not aware that there is no God can exist, apart from the invisible Soul, the Self.

The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. If there is no consciousness, then the world in which you exist ceases to exist. The world in which you exist is dependent on consciousness for its existence.

People think that there must be a creator of this universe. If one thinks the Self is an individual, then there is a creator, but if one thinks of the invisible Soul as the Self, then there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is in the form of consciousness.

If one objectifies and sees a universe, then he is bound to see many things besides himself and postulate a God, the creator.

The world in which he exists rises together and is set together from and into the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

If God is apart from consciousness, then God would be Selfless, that is, outside existence, that is, non-existent.

Blind devotion to God based on blind belief does not lead to Moksha. First, realize what God is supposed to be according to the Vedas and the Upanishads.

If one claims that God is doing this or that, or has such and such qualities, he is hallucinating with his inherited belief. He did not see God doing it? He is simply assuming.

God is only a settled fact for believers, but for others, God’s existence is problematic. Without the belief, the God based on blind belief ceases to exist.

When the world in which we exist is an illusion, then whatever we have seen, known, believed, and experienced within the illusory world is bound to be an illusion.

If Vedas and Upanishads, even Bhagavad Gita, say what is supposed to be God, then it is time for you to realize the truth about God.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material, then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth." The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

The Vedas confirm that God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the invisible Soul. The invisible Soul is God in truth. Nothing is real but the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal, and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.

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)

Even the Holy Bible says: ~ God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in spirit and in truth..(John 4:24)

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self.

The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. God in truth is only Atman, the Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

Meher Baba said: ~ God is your innermost Self. Do not search for God outside of you. Let these words be inscribed in your heart. Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God. God is everywhere and does everything. God is beyond us and is everything. God alone is, and all else is an illusion.

The truth-seeker has to reject the devotional path and the path of Karma if they want to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space. The path of Bhakti, the path of Karma, is for the ignorant populace.

Only the path of wisdom leads the seeker of truth on his journey to the ultimate realization of the true nature of the universal essence, which is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
