Existence is nondual. Nonduality cannot be described through words, for all uses of language fail to express it. Nonduality is sought to be indicated mentally negation of duality (all attributes and characteristics).
If people have believed false Gods propagated by religion over millions of years, the length of time does not prove it is God in truth.
It is impossible to know God in truth without the knowledge of nonduality.
A religious God based on blind belief ceases to exist without duality. In non-dual reality, no man, no world, and no Gods are based on blind faith or belief.
God with forms and names has no meaning in the realm of truth. It is a mere imagination or assumption. It is high time to realize that all the Gods based on blind faith or blind belief are not God in truth, according to your own scriptures.
People stuck to their religious beliefs and think scriptural authorities as the ultimate truth will not be able to assimilate Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana.
The invisible Soul, the Self, has nothing to do with religion and its code of conduct.
Observing and following the religious code of conduct is accepting the false Self as the true Self.
How can you worship the Absolute? That implies two ~ the worshiper and the worshiped, whereas the Absolute is nondual. One can worship his idea of the Absolute only, or realize his unity with it when he can’t worship it as apart.
The Upanishads say in effect that: ~ If you believe that the ‘the Soul, the Self is one and God (Brahman) is another, you cannot understand Truth.
Rig Veda:~ 'Prajnanam Brahma': - Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth. Nothing is real but the 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.
In Advaitic reality, there is neither God nor Goddess but only consciousness. Consciousness is God in truth.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) 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 dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the Self.
In Atmic reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.
Every seeker seeking truth must first know what God is supposed to be in actuality according to the Vedas and Upanishads, and reject all non-Vedic Gods to realize the Atman is God in truth.
Bhagavad Gita:~ All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Thus, it refers to a formless and attributeless God, which is the Atman (Soul), the innermost ‘Self’ within the false experience.
Thus, it indicates clearly that all the Gods with form and attributes are mere imagination based on the false self. Thus, Atman, the Self, is God in truth..
The Vedas do not talk about idol worship. In fact, till about 2000 years ago, followers of the Vedic religion or Sanatana Dharma never worshiped idols. Idol worship was started by the followers of Buddhism and Jainism.
There is logic to idol worship. Vedas speak of one God that is the supreme ‘Self’ in i.e., Atman or Soul, but Hinduism indulges in worshiping 60 million Gods.
It indicates clearly that all Gods with form and attributes are mere imagination based on the false self.
;
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from the Self does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)
Remember:~
A great majority of Hindus are not in contact with their religious history; therefore, they believe their inherited beliefs to be as ultimate truth.
The Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the ‘Self’.
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)
Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One”.
Rig Veda says God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why believe and worship in place of the real God?
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is the Supreme Spirit, has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.
Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
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.
People who are saying ‘I AM GOD’ are hallucinating that they have become God. First, you must know what God is supposed to be in actuality.
Sage Sankara declares Atman is Brahman. That is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth, and the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The nature of God is Advaita. Advaita is the fullness of consciousness. God is the form of the Atman; therefore, never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship anything other than the Atman.
Thus, truth-realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization. God-realization is real worship.
Jesus said:~ Do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew 7:6)
~Jesus meant Knowledge of Spirit (God) or Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana (pearls) should not be given to the ignorant populace (pigs).
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 Soul, the Self. The 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.
There is no God but God. There is no God because the world in which we exist is merely an illusion created out of God, the Spirit. Call it by any name, God is universal. God belongs to the whole of humanity.
Religion creates separation. God is unity in diversity. God is one which the cause of the whole world in which humanity exists.
There is no God but God means- the world in which we exist is an illusion, God is the cause of the world is real and eternal. God alone is real, and all else is an illusion. There is no second thing that exists other than the Spirit, the God; thus, God is Advaita.
Religion belongs to you. The religious God belongs to you. All religious code of conduct belongs to you. Religion belongs to you. But remember, you belong to the illusory universe.
The illusory universe in which you exist is created out of the Spirit. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.
God is divine, only held in the bondage of ignorance (matter); perfection will be reached when this bond will burst, and the word they use for it is, therefore, freedom, freedom from the bonds of imperfection, freedom from ignorance.
Many believe spirituality and religion are interconnected, but it is not so.
Religion is based on the false self (ego) and it is limited to the false experience (universe), while spirituality transcends race, religion, gender, language, and nationality, and the universe.
Spirituality is based on the Soul, the Self. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe in which we exist is merely an illusion.
A Gnani is not opposed to God; he is not an atheist, but he wants God to be free from the imagination.
A Gnani is fully aware of what God is in actuality. God exists apart from human imaginations.
Religiously imagined Gods and worshiped are not God in truth.
Gnani does not say God is not there; God is, but not as one imagines God. God is above all imaginations. God exists as truth. Hence, in the path of wisdom, the ultimate truth or Brahman is God. Thus, Brahman means that the ultimate truth is God. : :~Santthosh Kumaar
