How can one know that what he believes and worships as God is true?
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 truth.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say 'I', if you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, you are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers.
Godmen say: I AM GOD, whereas Gnanis say the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, is God in truth.
Godmen's claims of marvelous, miraculous power: Ask for the list of failures, and refuse to be guided by success only.
All predictions as to what these Godmen will do in the future are unacceptable because verification is not immediately possible. Who can take them as having any worth? Therefore, they belong to the world of imagination.
What is the value of mystic experience, what is the value of the words of the great men? In pursuit of truth, the seeker has to examine and evaluate them all to find the ultimate truth or Brahman.
People are perfectly sane, regarding worldly duties of the practical life within the practical world, but on the other hand, generally dealing with religious beliefs, they are insane. This is the condition of all religious believers.
Thus, you can only get to the stage of truth? If you say it may be true, then you are only imagining. Go as far as you can, never stop at a doubt, do not get disheartened by it.
Have doubts, but try to overcome them. Do not kill it by keeping quiet. Let the doubts come, but try to overcome them fearlessly until you reach the truth.
You have not seen God, but you only believe in the existence of God. If you say that God did this or went there, it will only be your imagination. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
