The earliest uses of the word God in Germanic writing are often cited to be in the Gothic Bible or Wulfila Bible.+

 GOD IS a mere word used by the religion who believed there is a higher power that is the cause of the creation. Different religions used different words for the same thing.

The idea depends on the man’s imagination. God is an English word. The different language uses different words for the same thing.

The words are there for only communication purposes.

The Sages of truth called the ultimate truth as Brahman. For them, the ultimate truth is God in truth.

The earliest uses of the word God in Germanic writing are often cited to be in the Gothic Bible or Wulfila Bible, which is the Christian Bible as translated by Wulfila (a.k.a. Bishop Ulfilas) into the Gothic language spoken by the Eastern Germanic, or Gothic Tribes. The oldest part of the Gothic Bible, contained in the Codex Argenteus, is estimated to be from the fourth century. During the fourth century, the Goths were converted to Christianity, largely through the efforts of Bishop Ulfilas, who translated the Bible into the Gothic language in Nicopolis ad Istrum in today's northern Bulgaria. The words guide and guþ were used for God in the Gothic Bible.~wiki

All these experiences as the father, son, guru, pupil, and the world were one and the same consciousness appearing differently. All these distinctions disappear when one realizes the ultimate truth. :~Santthosh Kumaar

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take it as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’.+

When the ‘I; is present then only the world in which you exist is present.

When the ‘I is absent then the world in which you exist is absent.

The one which is aware of the coming and going of the ‘I’ is not you but the Soul, the Self.

The seeker has to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be? The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ “The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is ever nondual. 

People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.

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.

People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take it as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’.

There is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.

If you are a seeker then you must think, you must reason, you must learn to think on the Soulcentric was; by thinking and reasoning on soulcentric way you can learn view and judge the worldview on nondualistic perspective then only it is possible to unfold the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

In the guise of Gnani, the self-declared Gurus deceives people. For instance, some Gurus claim, I AM BRAHMAN. The fact is, if they know what Brahman is in actuality they would not be making the self-asserting statement.+

In the guise of Gnani, the self-declared Gurus deceives people. For instance, some Gurus claim, I AM BRAHMAN. The fact is, if they know what Brahman is in actuality they would not be making the self-asserting statement.

You are not God. The Soul the ‘Self’ is God. It is not correct to say I AM God or I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can "I" remain? Only Brahman or God remains, not the I.

Simply saying ‘I AM’ that or ‘I AM this to the genderless Soul is not wisdom. Without knowing what this ‘I’ supposed to be in actuality not wisdom but ignorance. First, know what his ‘I’ is supposed to be.

The ‘I’ is an object to the Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject. The ‘I’ is the whole universe, which appears and disappears. Without the ‘I’ the universe ceases to exist.

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what leads to unfolding the mystery of the ‘I’. Sticking to the ‘I-centric’ gurus and their teaching keeps you in the cage of ignorance.

The ‘Self, the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is not limited to you because it pervades in everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the ‘I’ is an illusion, which appears and disappears.

It is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time, and space whereas the Soul, the  Self is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

To understand the false nature of the ‘I’, the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary.

The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul which is the witness of the ‘I’. By holding the’ Self’ ‘I' leads to hallucination based on the imagination.

Those who are stuck with the ‘I’ based teaching never be able to cross the domain of the form, time, and space.:~Santthosh Kumaar 

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.+

What is this ‘I’ in actuality?

The ‘I’ is not a thought. The ‘I’ is the mind. The mind is the whole universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality). 

The one that appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality) are the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness pervades everything and everywhere in all three states.

Without knowing what is the mind? - it is impossible to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. 

People think the mind is within the body, but deeper self-search reveals the fact that the world in which you exist itself is the mind. When the ‘I’ is there then only the mind is there. If the mind is there then only the universe is there. 

If the universe is there then only the waking is there. Thus, it is very much necessary to realize the ‘what ‘I’ is in actuality. 

Without knowing ‘what is this ‘I’ it is impossible to realize the non-dualistic truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

Until you hold the ‘Self ‘as the ‘I’ you will never be able to get Self-realization.

‘I’ hides the Soul, which is the  Self. ‘

I’ is ignorance.

‘I’ is the duality.

‘I’ is form, time, and space.

‘I’ is the universe.

‘I’ is the waking.

‘I’ is the dream.

‘I’ is the illusion.

‘I’ is the experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

Remember:~

Without the ‘I’ there is no ignorance.

Without the ‘I’ there is no duality.

Without the ‘I’ there is no form, time, and space.

Without the ‘I’ there is no universe.

Without the ‘I’ there is no waking.

Without the ‘I’ there is no dream.

Without the ‘I’ there is no illusion.

Without the ‘I’ there is no experience of birth, life, death, and the world.

The ‘I’ hides the truth of the whole. The ‘I’ hides the 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. 

Remember:~

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then three states, are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.

If the I’ is an illusion then the individual experience of birth, life, death is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the words and thoughts are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the duality is bound to be an illusion.:~Santthosh Kumaar 

All your opinion, judgment, and argument based on dualistic perspective are nothing but ignorance not concerned with the truth hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion.+

Every individual’s judgment of the worldview is based on the dualistic perspective. The dualistic judgment is based on the ‘I’, which is ignorance. Thus, whatever is based on the dualistic perspective is ignorance

All your opinion, judgment, and argument based on dualistic perspective are nothing but ignorance not concerned with the truth hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego, therefore, experiences birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness and he is fully aware of the fact that, there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul or consciousness.

Thus, all the egocentric (religious) adulteration has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.

The ‘I’ is both real and unreal. It is real because it is a manifestation of consciousness, but is unreal, in the sense, that it is not absolute and eternal like consciousness itself.

People's approach is more practical, and they stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, they take it as real. That is why all the confusion.:~Santthosh Kumaar

As one peeps into the annals of religious history he finds that Hinduism which exists today is not a continuation of the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma.+

In Reality, Hinduism is not ancient Vedic Religion or Sanatana Dharma. Hindus do not follow Vedas. People of Inda think Hinduism is Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion but it is not so.

As one peeps into the annals of religious history he finds that Hinduism which exists today is not a continuation of the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma, and it has no real historical foundation. Hinduism is of a much later origin.

As per the researchers, the two faiths the Hindu belief system has drifted miles away from the Vedic faith so that the two seem to be two distinct faiths. It is not difficult to discover that there is no noticeable continuity of Hinduism from the Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma.

The distinctive characteristics of the Hindu belief system cannot be traced in Vedic literature. Besides, although the Vedas are revered as sacred texts, many people in India do not know what ‘belief in the Vedas’ means. In most cases, the acquaintance of the Hindus with the Vedas is limited to the few hymns that are recited in temples and household liturgies.

In most cases, the acquaintance of the Hindus with the Vedas is limited to the few hymns that are recited in temples and household liturgies.

God and Goddesses worshipped in India today are non-Vedic Gods. Such God s and Goddesses cease to exist without the dualistic illusion. Whatever belongs to the dualistic illusion is bound to be a falsehood.

Hinduism is based on myths and thus, the people of Indian are unaware of the facts of their inherited religious history.

The Vedic Culture and Vedas are complete in themselves but Hinduism which is a non-Vedic belief system with all its ritual and conduct-oriented practices has been contributed largely by the orthodox priests to suit their convenience!~Santthosh Kumaar

It is also necessary for the people to realize why Ancient Vedic Religion or Sanatana Dharma is not present in Hinduism if they are seeking truth in India.+

The DaVita, Vedanta borrows a concept from Abrahamic religions, such as Eternal Damanation (of certain Souls destined to hell forever) which goes against the belief of most Vedanta schools, which states that Soul attains liberation.

Hinduism is based on myths and thus people of India are unaware of the facts of their inherited religious history.

The Vedic system did not have a castes system. The caste system was a fake created in the name of Hinduism. This non-Vedic belief system called Hinduism created hatred in the low caste Hindu for the higher caste.

Hindu idol or deity or temple is nothing to do with the Vedic Religion. Vedic people ate beef. The Hindu practices of idol worship and temple worship ban on beef-eating were introduced many centuries later.

The vast ocean of Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma was consistently steady and calm for a very long period. It appears that as a consequence of the rage of the Buddhist revolution it got suddenly disturbed and flowed down to us in disorder.

Even today Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma has not recovered from the onslaught of Buddhism and Jainism and is not able to settle in people's hearts in its original form in the same old measure.

The Buddhist influence is seen in a great measure in the Vedic philosophy which is followed by the majority of Indians. Thus, it is clear that Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma has not retained its original form, but has been influenced by other religions has undergone a sea change.

Thus the influence of Buddhism on Santana Dharma is extraordinary. Even Kumarila Bhatta, who fought with great heroism for the revival of Vedic Religion, was so much influenced by Buddhism that he established for the first time in the country, an atheist Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma.  There is no room for any doubt to assert that the Kumarila Bhatta School was influenced by atheist Buddhism because the school which is based on the validity of the Vedas and rituals refutes the existence of God.

It is also necessary for the people to realize why Ancient Vedic Religion or Sanatana Dharma is not present in Hinduism if they are seeking truth in India.

It is very much necessary for the Indian populace to know why Ancient Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma is not present in Hinduism. India is a spiritual supermarket with diverse philosophies, theories, ideologies, and yoga and beliefs.

Hinduism indulges non-Vedic beliefs such as idolatry, ancestor worship, pilgrimages, priestcraft, offerings made in temples, the caste system, untouchability, and child marriages. All these lack Vedic sanctions, therefore, Hinduism is not Ancient Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma.

Hinduism is the museum of diverse beliefs and dogmas. Hinduism is not the means to ‘Self’-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana All Hindus indulge in non-Vedic practice barred by the Vedas introduced by the different founders of the different sects of Hinduism at a different time, whereas the Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma is ancient and has no founder.

Hinduism is not Santana Dharma or Vedic Religion. Hinduism is not a religion. Rather it is a group of religions found within India that share common beliefs while still remaining very different.

Hinduism is not a religion but more a way of life. The term "Hinduism" is used for labeling the entire Indian people irrespective of any religion.

The new religion was introduced by Sage Sankara a great Advaitic Sage to uplift the Vedic culture and Santana Dharma, which were in ruins in the clutches of Buddhism but he was unable to bring back the grandeur of ancient Santan Dharam because the people of that era wanted something which is easy for the people to accept and follow. 

18 Puranas are introduced in the name of Sage Veda Vyasa not by Sage  Sankara but the saints or founders of different caste because the Puranic Gods are non-Vedic Gods. Vedas bar worship of non-Vedic Gods of Hinduism.

As one goes deeper in the annals of the history, it indicates the fact that somewhere someone has added the Puranas in the name of Sage Veda Vyasa the grandmaster of Vedas. It is impossible to accept and believe that Sage Veda Vyasa authored and introduced Puranas which have all personal gods.

That is why Swami Vivekananda~ The masses in India cry to sixty million Gods and still die like dogs. Where are these gods? - Swami Vivekananda-The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 1/Lectures And Discourses/The Gita II:~Santthosh Kumaar
