Sage Sankara says: ~ Atman is Brahman. The Atman alone is real is not religious truth. Sage Sankara declared this Advaitic truth, which is the ultimate truth to the whole world, many centuries back, is the rational truth, scientific truth, and the ultimate truth.
Thus, the Atman, which is present in the form of consciousness, is real and eternal; the world in which we exist is merely an illusion.
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.
Even the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Ish Upanishad declares: - Those people who have neglected the attainment of Self-knowledge and have thus committed suicide 10/11/12
Ishopanishad "They are steeped in ignorance and sunk into the greatest depth of misery who worship the matter, instead of the All-Pervading God, and those who worship things born of matter like trees, animals, man, etc., are sunk deeper in misery."
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 Upanishads Nikhilananda)
It indicates that the ignorant one (darkness) of the invisible Soul, the Self (Atman), searches for truth by accumulating knowledge of every path and practice, and is uncertain about the truth, and thinks every path leads towards reality. Ignorance of the true Self leads one towards unreality or hallucination.
Bhad Upanishad: ~ This Self is dearer than a son, dearer than wealth, dearer than everything else because it is innermost. If one holding the ‘Self’ dear were to say to a person who speaks of anything other than the ‘Self’ as dear, that he, the latter, will lose what he holds dear—and the former is certainly competent to do so—it will indeed come true. One should meditate upon the ‘Self’ alone as dear. He who meditates upon the ‘Self’ alone as dear, what he holds dear will not perish. ((8-p- -211)
It is the first instance of monism in organized religion. Vedic religion remains the only religion with this concept. To call this concept 'God' would be imprecise. The closest interpretation of the term can be found in the Tattireya Upanishad (II.1): ~ where Brahman is described in the following manner: Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahman - "Brahman is of the nature of truth, knowledge, and infinity". Thus, Brahman is the origin and the end of all things, material or otherwise. Brahman is the root source and Divine Ground of everything that exists and does not exist. It is defined as unknowable and Satchidananda (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss).
Since it is eternal and infinite, it comprises the only truth. The goal of Vedic religion, through the various yogas, is to realize that consciousness (Atman) is actually nothing but Brahman: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
