Belief in non-Vedic religion, non-Vedic religious Gods, and non-Vedic religious rituals keeps you permanently in the prison of ignorance. God of belief is not God in truth.
Non-Vedic religious Gods and religious rituals because religious Gods are not God in truth and rituals based on religious Gods are based on non-Vedic Gods barred by Vedas.
Holding a non-Vedic God as a real God is holding the superstition as God. Sticking to non-Vedic rituals is sticking to ignorance.
Rig Veda:~ ‘Prajnanam Brahma’: - Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God S is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.
Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
People who worship God based on blind belief are hallucinating that they become one with such God. Vedas itself says: May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman? Thus, to know the real God, Self-realization is necessary. Self-realization is God-realization. Self-realization itself is real worship.
Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman 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.
Advaita is the nondual nature of the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self. Advaita is the invisible and eternal Soul itself. Advaita is another word for God in truth, which is second to none.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad:~ "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)
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.
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)
Even 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 truth other than consciousness, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
That is why Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing because a wise man said it. Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you, yourself, judge to be true.
Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained knowledge of Atman. Atman is God in truth. Atman alone exists. Everything is Atman; there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."
