Religious upbringing is a major cause that blocks one from realizing the Self hidden by ignorance.
The garbage of religious beliefs, dogmas superstition is confounded with the human imagination.
The great reality of the glory of the religious Gods is hyped and obscured by so much tinsel and commercialism.
Spirituality is not theology. Advaita is not a philosophy, but Advaita is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
The theistic (orthodoxy) Advaita is based on the dualistic perspective, but Advaita philosophy is based on the nondualistic perspective.
The theistic (orthodoxy) Advaita bifurcated from Advaitic philosophy. The theistic (dualistic) Advaita is meant for the ignorant populace.
In theology, everyone is entitled to his own view, i.e., what he likes; but in pursuit of the truth, this is not permissible. That which dupes most of the people is taking satisfaction for truth.
The seeker has to be aware of that which satisfies his feelings. "Felt" experience is no guide to the highest because one’s feelings may differ from others.
Theological thinkers say God is a perfect being, but they have never known God, never proved his existence; hence their ascription of perfection to Him is purely Self-imagined. If one has to test truth in the next world only, then there is no proof of the existence of the next world, other than it is mentioned in the doctrines.
The doctrine's truth is not the ultimate truth. The scriptures are being added from time to time. This process will go on. There is no final authority among them? One contradicts the other: duality reigns supreme.
Suppose one sees God. How is he to know that He is God? His mere statement is not enough. He must have proof; He must show that He is God.
It is impossible to prove the existence of God by any reasoning: one can only say "I believe. Belief is not the truth. “The most rational position is that: 'I do not know."
Every religion has its own idea of God, paradise, heaven, sin, and karma. But where people have a little thinking capacity, they begin to disbelieve through the contradictions of various contending orthodox claims and descriptions.
Unless one gives up the ideas of the idea of God, heaven, and hell, it is impossible to assimilate Nondualistic or Advaitic truth. Truth must be proved here and now, in this world, in this very life. Not in the next world and the next life.
The idea, as the existence of a personal God, heaven, hell, sin, and karma are mere imagination based on the false self (ego) within the false experience (waking).
When waking experience itself is false, then whatever one sees, knows, believes, and experiences is bound to be a falsehood. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
