You are the birth entity. Your existence is limited to the illusory form, time and space. Your religion, your religious Gods your beliefs, your religious rituals and prayers, your race, your nationality are nothing to do with the Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
When the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is
present in the form of consciousness then what is the use of discussing about
the birth, life, death, and the world because the one, which is born, lives and
dies is not the ‘Self. The Soul is birthless and deathless because
it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
From the Vedic perspective, all the religious Gods are based on blind faith or blind belief is non-Vedic
Gods based on imagination.
Religious Gods are based on blind belief. Gods based on blind faith or blind belief are not God in truth.
Religious God cannot
be considered as the center because the Soul, the ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists.
Without the Soul the world in which you exist ceases to exist, which means the
religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence. God in truth is only
the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Even The Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is
considered the all-pervading consciousness, 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 which is
the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing
has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present
in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman 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)
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says: "He who worships the deities as
entities entirely separate from the Self does not know the truth. For the Gods he is
like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)
That is why Sage Sankara:~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 realized. 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.”
Sage Sankara says:~ 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, can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and
other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.
The Atmic path is not for religious and yogic-minded people. Religious and yogic people must move on their chosen path. The Atmic path is for only seekers of truth who are seriously searching for the truth of their own existence.:~Santthosh Kumaar
