The universe in which you exist hides the God in truth. God in truth is the Soul, the Self. The invisible Soul is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.
The religious Gods are man-made. Every religion has its own idea of God. He who thinks God is one and the invisible Soul, the Self is another can never be able to understand, assimilate realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.
The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, pervades everything and everywhere in all three states. Thus, the invisible Soul, the Self, is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Brahman is God. When one realizes that form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness, then he realizes there is no second thing that exists other than consciousness.
Thus, everything is consciousness. Consciousness is the ultimate truth of Brahman or God in truth.
The Upanishads say in effect that: ~ if you believe that you are one and God is another you cannot understand Truth.
No conceptual God can exist apart from consciousness. People are not aware that there is no individual God that can exist, apart from the invisible Soul, which is in the form of consciousness.
The invisible Soul is the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. If there is no consciousness, then there is no body, no ego, no universe, no religion, and no religious God.
Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God, there is no truth."
People think that there must be a creator of this universe. If one thinks of the physical entity or ego as the Self, then there is a creator, but if one thinks of the invisible Soul as the Self, then there is nothing that exists other than the invisible Soul, which is present 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 body, the religion, and world rises and sets together from, and into, the invisible Soul or consciousness. If God is apart from the Self, then He would be Selfless, that is, outside existence, that is, non-existent.
The Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (brahmano hi pratisthaham, ( 14.27)
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is the Supreme Spirit, has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. He cannot be seen directly by anyone. He pervades all beings and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
The Bible says: ~ God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
Mythreyi Upanishad 2:26 says: ~ All those who desire to have salvation without taking several births, should worship God in spirit and truth.
In the Vedas, God has been described as: ~
In Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ It has been said that God Supreme or Supreme Spirit.
Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) 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)
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
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 innermost Self. In reality, there are no dualities, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.
Sage Sankara’s wisdom is very much in tune with the essence of the Vedas and Upanishads.
So, it clearly indicates that God is formless, thus, there is no scope for the form-based God.
The religion and its ideas of Gods, and its theories of karma, heaven, hell, papa, Punya, rebirth, and reincarnation are based on the false Self (ego), within the false experience (waking). Therefore, they are meant for a lower mindset; they are of no use for those who are seeking higher truth, as indicated in the scriptures. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
