The one which is born lives and has sex and dies within the world is you not the invisible and unborn Soul.+

 Swami Anutosh Nimnagata: Every being is born through sex. Sex is not confined only to genital organs. Even the cells of our living organisms multiply either through sexual or asexual reproduction which leads to their growth and development. Our whole bodies' growth depends on cell division. Sex is not an ugly thing. Yes, it is a natural instinct. The whole flora and fauna replicate through sex. Sex is a pious activity to give birth to new life. As long as there is the body, the experience will be there although it is only manifested in form, time, and space. Even some people practice yoni worship as it is the source of whole creation directly or indirectly!

Santthosh Kumaar: If you had the same idea in the dream then the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, If you had the same idea in the waking then the waking becomes unreal when you realize the Self is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

The one which is born lives and has sex and dies within the world is you not the invisible and unborn Soul.

You and your sexual activities within the world are happening within the dualistic illusion. The dualistic illusion is created out of the single clay. That single clay is the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The invisible Soul, the Self is birthless and deathless because it is ever genderless, formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Sex is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space. Without the form, time, and space there is only the fullness of consciousness, without the division of the form, time, and space.

Swami Anutosh Nimnagata: Every being is born through sex. Sex is not confined only to genital organs.

Yoni puja is the religious fable. Yoni puja is human to worship is barred by Vedas. If the ‘Self’ is not the body then what is the use of indulging yoni puja? Only ignorant indulge in such activities

Veda bars human worship: ~

Yajur Veda:~ They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc (Yajurveda 40:9)

Those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

When the Self is not the body then it is no use in discussing the yoni which belongs to the creation. The creation is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, the Self, which alone is real and eternal. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

Modern gurus and yogis propagate love, bliss, Samadhi, and grace; all these belong to duality, limited to illusory form, time and space. +

Modern gurus and yogis propagate love, bliss, Samadhi, and grace; all these belong to duality, limited to illusory form, time and space. 

Thus whoever is intoxicated to dualistic knowledge is unfit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is based on the Nondualistic base. Thus all dualistic knowledge Instead of helping, they obstruct.

It is necessary to realize that religion, yoga, and the other paths and practices based on the waking entity (ego), which is the false self within the false experience, is false knowledge. The true path is the path of wisdom, which is based on the formless Soul, the real self.

One has to test the truth in this world, not in the next world. There is no proof other than blind belief based on the scriptures; belief is not the truth. So, doctrines are not the means to realize the ultimate truth. There is no need to follow them.

Goudpada says: - the merciful Veda teaches Karma and Upasana to people of lower and the middling intellect while jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

So they clearly indicate rituals and theories are not meant for those who are searching for higher knowledge or wisdom. The path of wisdom is the only means.

All the orthodox Advaitins indulge and immersed themselves in ritualistic oriented lifestyle and follow the path of karma and Upasana which is meant for lower and middling intellect and not for realizing the Advaitic truth.

Many chose these orthodox scholars as their gurus. But these gurus are good to learn the conceptual Advaita meant for those orthodox who believe their conduct-oriented lifestyle leads to Moksha [liberation]. But the theistic Advaita is not the means to acquire Self –knowledge or non-dualistic or Advaitic wisdom. Those who are seeking truth have to do their own homework in order to acquire self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The invisible Soul is hidden by the illusory universe because the universe is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya.+

Sage Sankara's Advaita is ekathma vada, which means the Soul is one. The invisible Soul is the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Consciousness is the cause of the universe and from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion.

Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe, which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.

When you finally realize the Self is not you but the Self is the invisible Soul, then you will realize the world in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul. The invisible Soul is present in the form of consciousness.

Sage Sankara says: - VC-47 All the effects of ignorance, root, and branch, are burnt down by the fire of knowledge, which arises from discrimination between these two—the Self and the non-Self.

Till you think you are an individual separate from the world and the world that existed prior to you and you are born in it afterward ignorance will prevail as a reality. Till ignorance is there the universe prevails as a reality.

Until you become aware that the universe is an illusory reality and the invisible Soul, the Self is hidden by the illusory universe you will remain in the domain of ignorance.

This universe is only the veil of ignorance on the invisible Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Self is not you but the invisible Soul, which is hidden by the universe.

The invisible Soul is hidden by the illusory universe because the universe is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Remember: ~ All is consciousness. The whole universe is consciousness. From consciousness, the universe comes. When the universe disappears, the consciousness still remains without form, time, and space :~Santthosh Kumaar

Why Mantras can do nothing. +

Why Mantras can do nothing. 

That is why Sage Sankara VC~.61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one.

The mantra-yoga consisting of repeating the name of God, or even the AUM, thousands of times yield nothing. It can appeal only to the ignorant, to those who cannot think deeper. It is a mere religious fable. The real exercise is to think of the meaning of the name or the AUM, and then only do you get something.

Mantras can do nothing. If they really had any power, why did the Godmen and yogis use their power to stop the wars and violence and terrorism, which are going on in the name of protecting the name of the religion and God?

All the magical power of mantras are religious fable because religion is based on the false Self (waking or ego) and false experience (waking or the world) Visions and Samadhi are illusions from the standpoint of the Soul, the Self.

No mantras help to get rid of ignorance. All the mantras and rituals are meant for the ignorant populace, which strongly believes, the world in which he exists as a reality.

For one who wants to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the mantras will not help to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

All the religious Gods are merely a belief, not God in truth. God in truth is Athma. All the mantras are based on the beliefs based Gods are not God in reality. 

The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

The Gods of belief are personal and with form,s names and attributes whereas the God in truth is impersonal and attributeless because God in truth is formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

How can the God of belief yield fruits when they are not Gods at all through repeating the names of God when the real God is nameless because real God is formless, timeless and spaceless existence.?

Know what God supposed to be in actuality. 

Religious Gods are based on blind belief.  God based on blind belief is not God in truth. Religious God cannot be considered as the cause of the universe because the invisible Soul the Self is the cause  of the universe.   

Without the invisible Soul the universe in which you exist ceases to exist, it means the religious God is dependent on the universe for its existence. The universe is dependent of the invisible Soul for its existence.  God in truth is only the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. 

Remember:~

All mantras are based on non-Vedic Gods. All mantras are based on puranic Gods, not Vedic God. Vedic God 

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth,  Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realize  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.

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)

Rig-Veda 1-164-46 and Y.V 32-1 clearly mention that God is “One” and God is Atman. 

When Rig Veda says God is ‘ONE’ and God is Atman, then why believe and worship in place of real God.

Remember:~

Bhagavad Gita Chapter:~ All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)

Bhagavad Gita: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness (Spirit), which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness (Spirit) which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the  Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the gods he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

Tattireya Upanishad: ~ The Self in man and in the sun is one. Those who understand this see through the world and go beyond the various sheaths of being to realize the unity of life.

Remember:~

Non-Vedic Gods are imaginary Gods based on the false self (ego) within the false experience (dualistic illusion or the world)

Realizing the real God is real worship. whatever based on the false God yield no fruits. It is necessary to realize what God is supposed to be in actuality.

God is not physical. God is present in the form of the Spirit. The Spirit is the cause of the world and the Spirit itself is uncaused.

From the standpoint of the Spirit, the form, time, space, and name are merely an illusion. The Spirit alone is real and all else is an illusion. In reality, the spirit (God) matter (the world in which we exist) is one.

Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God there is no truth."

Chandogya Upanishad  : ~ Sarvam khalvidam brahma ~ all this (universe) is verily Brahman. By following back all of the relative appearances in the world, we eventually return to that from which it is all manifest – the nondual reality.

No mantras help to get rid of ignorance. All the mantras and rituals are meant for the ignorant populace, which strongly believes, the world in which he exists as a reality. For one who wants to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the mantas will not help to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

That is why Sage  Sankara VC~.61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

VC- v6~ Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together

Sage  Sankara goes on to say: ~A sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine.

Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman.” Brahman must be experienced. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely a noise.

Until a man has destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying “I am a king.”

A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it, your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under Maya and the effects of Maya: ~ Santthosh Kumaar 

Blind belief in personal Gods rituals, pada pooja, Guru worships, mantras, and prayers belong to religion, not Spirituality or Adyathma.+

One of Sage Sankara’s missions was to wean people away from a ritualistic approach advocated by Mimamsakas and to project wisdom (Gnana) as the means of liberation in the light of Upanishad teachings.

Sage Sankara criticized severely the ritualistic attitude and those who advocated such practices. However, the orthodox texts that combined rituals with wisdom (jnana_karma_samucchaya) more in favour of the Mimamsaka position came into vogue, projecting Sage Sri, Sankara as the rallying force of the doctrine.

That is why Adhyasa Bhashya of Sage Sankara:~ (11) As regards the rituals, Sage Sankara says, the person who performs rituals and aspires for rewards will view himself in terms of the caste into which he is born, his age, the stage of his life, his standing in society etc. In addition, he is required to perform rituals all through his life. However, the Self has none of those attributes or tags. Hence, the person who superimposes all those attributes on the changeless, eternal Self and identifies the Self with the body is a confusing one for the other; and is, therefore, an ignorant person. The scriptures dealing with rituals, rewards etc. are therefore addressed to an ignorant person.

The rituals mentioned in the karmakanda of the Vedas are sought to be negated in the jnanakanda which is also part of the same scripture. While the karmakanda enjoins upon you the worship of various deities and lays down rules for the same, the jnanakanda constituted by the Upanishads ridicules the worshipper of deities as a dim-witted person no better than a beast.

This seems strange, the latter part of the Vedas contradicting the former part. The first part deals throughout with karma while the second or concluding part is all about jnana. Owing to this difference, people have gone so far as to divide our scripture into two sections: the Vedas (that is the first part) to mean the karmakanda and the Upanishads (Vedanta) to mean the jnanakanda.

Sage Sankara said:- Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.

Sage Sankara gave religious, ritual, and dogmatic instruction to the masses but pure philosophy only to the few who could rise to it. Hence the interpretation of his writings by commentators is often confusing because they mix up the two viewpoints. Thus they may assert that ritual is a means of realizing Brahman, which is absurd

Blind belief in personal Gods rituals, pada pooja, Guru worships, mantras, and prayers belong to religion, not Spirituality.

When the Self is formless then there is no need to do Pada Pooja (feet worship) the Gurus to get freedom. A Guru who preaches conduct as the means to freedom believes in birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas the Advaitic Sage Sankara declares the world as unreal. Therefore, how actions performed in the unreal world can get moksha or freedom. Therefore, there is a need to know the fact that the ‘Self’ is not physical in order to understand assimilate and realize the truth beyond physicality.

Vedas bars human worship: ~

Translation 3

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal Prakriti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the Prakriti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time. ":~ (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

Then why worship and glorify the Gurus and Yogis (human form) in place of God when the Veda bars such activities and it also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

By worshiping the Gurus as Gods, the wisdom will not dawn. The person who indulges in such activities will not be able to cross the thrash of dualistic illusion. One has to understand, assimilate and realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The ‘I’ is the cause of the experience of birth, life, death, and the world because the ‘I’ itself is the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world.+

All those whose intelligence has been stolen by the intoxication of the illusory ‘I', stick to the ‘I’ based Gurus and their teachings.

Many have the childish and slavish mentality and accept statements merely because they are uttered by famous men or a popular guru or a yogi. They lack the scientific method of investigation.

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 as real because some Gurus have propagated that 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 seeking truth nothing but the truth then prepare yourself to unfold the truth which is hidden by the ‘I’.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

Remember this:

The ‘I’ is the cause of ignorance because ‘I’ itself is ignorance.

The ‘I’ is the cause of the mind because ‘I’ itself is the mind.

The ‘I’ is the cause of the form, time, and space because the ‘I’ itself is the form, time, and space together.

The ‘I’ is the cause of the universe because the ‘I’ itself is the universe.

The ‘‘I’ is the case of the waking or dream because the ‘I’ itself appears as the waking or dream.

The ‘I’ is the cause of the experience of birth, life, death, and the world because the ‘I’ itself is the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world.

The ‘I’ is the cause of the duality because ‘I’ itself is duality.

The ‘I’ is the cause of the illusion because the ‘I’ itself is an illusion.

The ‘I’’ is the cause of all their ignorance, mistakes, and misunderstandings. Every man thinks "I know". He does not stop to ask first, "What is the meaning of what I believe I know? This ‘I’ know attitude blocks one from realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

First, the seeker has to investigate ‘what is this ‘I’ supposed to be?”

Everyone says they know everything and all the facts. “No-one stops to doubt or to understand, or to inquire as to ‘what is the fact?’ or ‘what is the definition of experience?’.

The ignorant take the simplest path, that of the uninquiring mind, because the other way, the search for truth, is hard and difficult and laborious. The religionist, yogis, and the common people do not worry about finding the truth of their true existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Tattireya Upanishad: ~ “The Self in man and in the sun is one. Those who understand this see through the world and go beyond the various sheaths of being to realize the unity of life.+

Tattireya Upanishad: ~ “The Self in man and in the sun is one. Those who understand this see through the world and go beyond the various sheaths of being to realize the unity of life.

The path of wisdom has nothing to do with Japa or repetition of a mantra. All Japa or mantras based on mythical God will not yield fruits.

The path of wisdom is divided into three parts:~

First: hearing the truth--that consciousness is the only reality and that the universe along with you is merely an illusion or Maya.

Second: reasoning upon these words of wisdom of Sage Sankara from all points of view.

Third: giving up all further argumentation and realizing the truth. This realization comes from being certain that consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

If sowing neem seed and expecting a mango to grow on a neem tree is a hallucination. You must sow only mango seed to get a mango tree to get mangos from the mango tree.

Similarly, you must know what God is supposed to be in actuality and sow the right seed in your subconscious to realize God in truth.

Gradually, one becomes aware of God in truth by getting rid of ignorance and will be able to establish the Soul, the Self, which is God in truth.

All the forms and attributes based on gods are a myth. Worshipping such Gods is barred by Vedas.

God in truth is not tasty and it is a bitter pill to swallow. Religion made its God tasty with its mythical toppings.

Every religion has concocted its own myth and propagated its own God to the ignorant populace.

Religion is the cause of the separation of humanity. Today humanity is facing wars, violence, terrorism, in the name of religious God and religion.:~Santthosh Kumaar
