Every religion is attacking the other considering them to be a myth. The only way out is to unfold the mystery of existence. +

The religious Saints and Gurus culled some paras from the Upanishads with convenient vagueness to establish their God and Theology.

Indians are more religious than other people in the world. The six systems of Indian Philosophy are really six systems of Indian speculation. For there is only one Truth.

The ancient Hindu tenet borrowed by theosophists of the universe appearing and dissolving, days and nights of Brahma, entering into pralaya, etc., is intended for mediocre intellects who cannot rise to the truth. It is a convenient fable representing the philosophic truth that the whole universe dissolves in your mind in deep sleep, thus entering pralaya, and rises again the next morning, i.e., it is all imagination, idea. The Brahma, the religious God, has nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately, every religion is attacking the other, considering them to be a myth. The only way out is to unfold the mystery of existence.

Many paths, theories, and practices make one confused about which path and practice to use because each one of them claims to get the truth. Everyone tries this and still one is unable to unfold the mystery. The mystery of existence becomes a distant dream.

Religious truth is individual truth, and it is not universal truth because religion is based on individuality. Spiritual truth is the universal truth.

There is no scope for individuality in the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman. In the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman, form, time, and space are one in essence. The essence is invisible consciousness.

Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal, and all else is mere illusion.

The scriptures give much advice and remedies, and each of them claims to be infallible.

It is high time for them to shift their attention from all the theories and practices that are based on the physical ‘Self’ and indulge in self-analysis and discover the facts of their own existence.

Yoga Vasistha:~ "Teachers, interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that Ultimate Truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the heart, engendered from contact with the good.

The only way to unfold the mystery of existence is a deeper self-search that helps the seeker of the truth to discover and realize the true facts of his true existence through deeper self-search without the help of religion, glorifying Gods, scriptural studies, or yogic practice.

Remember:~

Many people get confused when the word soul is used. The word soul is an indicator of higher truth.

Different people used for the same by different people. Buddha called it emptiness/nothingness, Sage Sankara called it Brahman (ultimate truth,) Christians called it Christ consciousness (Spirit), and intellectuals called it consciousness.

What harm is there in using the word soul, which is merely a pointer to the core of the true existence, which is not physical? Because one has the Soul, which knows his body and his experience of the world, he is able to exist as a person, and he is able to believe whatever he wants to believe and reject whatever he does not want to believe.

With what one knows his body and his name, and his worldly activities? It is not the body, which knows itself as the body.

Without the Soul, the Self, the body is insentient or dead. The one that knows itself as body, functions as a person, and perceives the world is not the body, but the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thinking that the body as the Self and trying to understand and assimilate and judge truth will keep one in the grip of duality. The duality is egocentric.

People think whatever his accumulated knowledge is truth, without bothering to verify the facts, and always judgemental and arguing on his own point of view.

There is no point in indulging in egocentric argument in pursuit of truth because the ultimate truth is based on the unborn and invisible Soul, the Self.

To realize the ultimate Truth or Brahman demands some thinking. For those who require mental spoon feeding, it is difficult to grasp.

It is only possible to finger point to the reality and indicate the direction. It is not possible to make one realize the truth; it is for the seeker to verify on his own -through deeper inquiry, analysis, and reasoning and realize it.

Seekers who will approach with receptiveness as they should be approached may conceivably pause at any time and say, these pointers are helping them to think on their own and assimilate the knowledge and understanding in proper and perfect way. :. -Santthosh Kumaar
