It is only one among millions of seekers who strive for spiritual salvation. Even amongst such seekers, it is only the rare person who realzes God in truth.
Millions are searching for God, but one in million will realize God in truth. If you are seeking God in truth then you are one from that million.
Among thousands of men, scarcely one strives for perfection, and of those who strive and succeed, scarcely one realizes God in truth.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ “All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)
Kena Upanishad (6) Chapter I: ~ “That which cannot be apprehended by the mind, but by which, they say, the mind is apprehended- That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.
Kena Upanishad (7) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be perceived by the eye, but by which the eye is perceived- That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.
Kena Upanishad (8) Chapter I:~ That which cannot be heard by the ear, but by which the hearing is perceived- That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.
Kena Upanishad (9)- Chapter I:~ That which cannot be smelt by the breath, but by which the breath smells an object- That alone know as Brahman, and not that which people here worship.
Realize what God is supposed to be in actuality and drop all other Gods that you believe and worship.
Bhagavad Gita: ~Brahmano hi pratisthaham- Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. ( 14.27)
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is the Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. He cannot be seen directly by anyone. He pervades all beings and all directions.
Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
The Bible says:~ God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
Mythreyi Upanishad 2:26 says: ~ “All those who desire to have salvation without taking several births, should worship God in spirit and truth.
So, it clearly indicates that God is formless thus there is no scope for form-based God. The religion and its ideas of Gods, and its theories of karma, heaven, hell, papa, Punya, rebirth, reincarnation are based on the false self (ego), within the false experience (waking). Therefore, they are meant for lower mindsets, they are of no use for those who are seeking higher truth as indicated in the scriptures.
Humanity has to awaken to the reality of its true existence by realizing the world in which humanity exists is merely an illusion created out of consciousness through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana frees the Soul, the Self from the cage of the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The universe in which you exist hides God. God is the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of the Spirit.
The religious Gods are man-made. Every religion has its own idea of God. He who thinks God is one and the Soul, the Self is another can never be able to understand, assimilate, or realize the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth.
God in truth cannot be brought down to the domain of duality. There is only one being in reality, and it is the invisible Soul, the Self. The unborn Soul is present in the form of consciousness.
The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
When one realizes the form, time and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness, then he realizes there is no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, everything is consciousness. Thus, consciousness (Soul) is God.
The Upanishads say in effect that: ~ if you believe that you are one and God is another you cannot understand Truth.
No religious Gods with forms, names and attributes can exist, apart from consciousness. People are not aware of the fact that there is no individual God can exist, apart from the Soul, which is in the form of consciousness.
Thus, the Soul or consciousness is the true Self. If there is no consciousness, then there is no physical body, no ego, no universe, no religion, and no conceptual God.
Brihad Upanishad: ~ “If you think there is another entity, whether man or God, there is no truth."
People think that there must be a creator of this universe. If one thinks of the physical entity or ego as the Self, then there is a creator, but if one thinks of the Soul as the Self, then there is nothing that exists other than consciousness, which is the Self.
If one objectifies and sees a universe, then he is bound to see many things besides himself and postulate a God, the creator. The body and the world rise and set together from, and into, the Soul the Self.
If God is apart from the ‘Self ‘, then God would be Selfless, that is, outside existence, that is, non-existent. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
