Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman or God in truth is impersonal.+

The dualists (Dvaita) Gurus see God as the imaginer, but where is the proof? Nobody has seen God creating.

You have seen no other creator, whether God or angel. The only ‘Self’ is left. Therefore, the ‘Self’ ‘is the creator because imagining means creating. The Dvaita and Religionists are based on the imagination based on the false ‘Self’ (ego).

The Puranic Gods are not real Gods. Puranic Gods are mythological Gods based on mythology. Mythological Gods are a myth. Their reality is dependent on the dualistic illusion. Such Gods cease to exist without ignorance. All this imagery of non-vedic Gods has a meaning within the dualistic illusion. So the dualistic Gurus have not proved their existence of attributed Gods beyond their accepted blind belief.

Dualist Gurus say God cannot exist without attributes. Then they are making God as an object whereas God is the subject. Attributes can only be seen in the objective world. Causality appears in the duality, but when one goes deeper into the matter even there the causality disappears.

Who else but the ‘Self’ could have imagined the objective world? The dualists’ thinkers see God as the imagine, but where is the proof? Nobody has seen God creating. You have seen no other creator, whether God or angel. The only ‘Self’ is left. Therefore, the Self is the creator because imagining means creating. The dualists talk nonsense. The dualistic God with forms, names, and attributes is imagination based on blind belief.

God based on blind belief, is not God in truth. The belief belongs to the dualistic illusion. Without the dualistic illusion, the dualistic God with forms, names, and attributes ceases to exist. So the dualists cannot prove God without the blind belief of God with forms, name, and attributes

Where people cannot and do not think, they follow the path of blind devotion to the belief-based Gods.

Sage Sankara:- VC 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 (verses-6)

Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman or God in truth is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other beside it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It. In Brahman, there is no distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constitutes the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman and not just its attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.

The ultimate truth or Brahman must be independent of religion, that in Sage Sankara himself the Saguna Brahman or a personal God is only a part of the phenomenal (if not illusory) world, and the Nirguna Brahman is the only reality and has nothing to do with religion.

Sage Sankara pokes fun at ascetics and points out that all their austerities do not cause desires to go (Altar Flowers" Page 205, v.2 P.207 v.4)

The Brahma Sutras, together with Sage Sankara's commentary thereon, do not contain the higher wisdom. They are intended for those who are incapable of thinking rationally. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
