People’s approach was more practical, and they are stuck with the belief in their inherited belief system.
Religious Gods are based on imaginary beliefs. God, based on blind beliefs, is not God in truth.
God, based on blind belief, is part and parcel of the universe, which is a dualistic illusion. The Atman is Brahman or God in actuality.
All that God propagated by religion is nothing but imagination. There is nothing so absurd that men have not worshipped in religion; every imaginable face has been given to God.
If God is the creator, then it is foolish to worship anything as God from his creation because the creation is apart from God.
Every Religion has its own idea of God. Thus, every religion is based on the false self. Therefore, whatever is based on the false self has to be a falsehood.
Thus, the idea of God of any religion is an imagination based on the false ‘Self’.
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God Supreme or 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.
God is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. According to the Vedas, God neither has any image nor does God reside in any particular idol or statue.
God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.
Mythological Gods and Goddesses are based on the belief. The belief is no God. The belief implies duality. From the ultimate standpoint, duality is merely an illusion.
Thus, whatever one sees, knows, believes, and experiences within the dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion.
Mythological stories are a myth. Whatever is based on myth is merely a superstition.
Mythology was introduced in the past for the ignorant masses. It has to be discarded as one progresses in his spiritual advancement.
All the mythological Gods are worshipped in the form of idols. The belief system that propagated ideas of many Gods and Goddesses, Bhakti is the only way to God, is simply trying to lead the people to darkness with its dogma and idea of many Gods, which is apart from the Self.
Mythology breeds superstition, blind belief, and senseless rituals, and is most irrational and giving them a divine outlook.
Mythological stories are a myth. Whatever is based on myth is merely a superstition.
Mythology was introduced in the past for the ignorant masses. It has to be discarded if one has to realize the ultimate truth, or Brahman, or the real God.
Through deeper self-search, one gains a new understanding of certain dogmas.
Ideas injected by religion about the literal heaven where people are immersed in pleasure, in a literal hell where people suffer, are fables.
God is not up there to judge and decides our good and bad deeds. All the mythological stories and mythological Gods are religiously injected fables.
Remember:~
Other than the Atman, which is God in truth, and all else is an illusion. God, based on blind belief, is a myth.
Vedas and Upanishads confirm that the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.
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)
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the invisible Soul, the Self. The invisible 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.
Even the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
There is a clear-cut idea of God in the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita. And also, there is a clear-cut idea of what not to worship as God in place of the real God. Thus, it proves from a Vedic perspective that the Puranic Gods are not Vedic Gods.
Vedas says never accept another God in place of the Atman, nor worship other than the Atman.
One must remember that for all periods the Vedas are the final goal and authority, and if the Puranas differ in any respect from the Vedas, the Puranas are to be rejected without mercy.
If you feel the Puranas say something and the Vedas say something else, reject the Puranas and believe in the Vedas. The Puranas are just a myth.
India takes pride in being the descendants of the Sages of truth who gave the Advaita the ultimate truth. The Advaitic truth is the truth beyond form, time, and space.
All the mythological Gods' existence is a myth. Such Gods can exist only within the dualistic illusion. Thus, the existence of such Gods is illusory.
Mythological Gods and Goddesses are based on the belief. The belief is not God. The belief implies duality. From the ultimate standpoint, the duality is merely an illusion. Thus, whatever one sees, knows, believes, and experiences within the dualistic illusion is bound to be an illusion.
Mythological stories are a myth. Whatever is based on myth is merely a superstition. Mythology was introduced in the past for the ignorant masses. It has to be discarded as one progresses in his spiritual advancement.
Swami Vivekananda: This bending the knee to superstitions, this selling yourself to your own mind, does not befit you, the Soul. The Self is infinite, deathless, and birthless. Because the Self is infinite Spirit, it does not befit you to be a slave. ... Arise! Awake! Stand up and fight! Die if you must. There is no none to help you. The Self is the entire world. Who can help you?
Mythology breeds superstition, blind belief, and senseless rituals, and is most irrational and giving them a divine outlook.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ If superstition enters, the brain is gone. Superstition is our great enemy, but bigotry is worse.
The existence of God or no God is only a belief. Belief is not the truth.
The scientific theories and inventions have made the materialistic life easier and comfortable for a man to live in the practical world; however, science failed to unfold the truth of true existence. Since their invention is based on the false self (ego) and false experience (waking).
The religions have created an imaginary God based on blind belief and propagated the existence of such a God.
Religion imposes on people to blindly follow its scriptures without verification. Religion is based on blind belief. Every religion has its own beliefs and dogmas.
Religion discourages people from verifying whether it is based on truth or not. Scientific materialism and religiously regulated life have resulted in restlessness.
People reason according to their own mentality, their own degree of understanding, and their knowledge.
The majority of people’s idea of God is extremely vague. Many simply accept the orthodox concept of God. They blindly accept their inherited idea of God based on blind belief. Some reason God into their own ideals.
Only a few set out to verify their beliefs to find out for themselves what God is supposed to be in actuality.
The invisible Soul, the Self itself, is God in truth. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, consciousness is God in truth.
Even the Vedas and Upanishads clearly declare this truth. Consciousness is the cause of the universe, and it itself is causeless. This is hard for people to grasp this truth because the truth is beyond form, time, and space.
Beyond the form, time, and space is consciousness. Consciousness alone is. The nature of consciousness is nondual awareness.
We must know that the universe in which we exist is the illusory expression of consciousness.
Consciousness is invisible to the human eye, but, in reality, consciousness is visible as the whole universe. Consciousness is behind all that animates and inanimate things. The invisible Soul is the ocean of consciousness.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
