People are unaware of what is a myth and what is the truth. The truth is hidden by the myth.
Sage Sankara says ~ The exercise in discrimination between myth and truth and renunciation of the myth unfolds the truth hidden by the Myth.
Perfect understanding and realization of ‘what is what’ leads to Self-awareness.
Modern science has exposed many Religious dogmas as myths. All these dogmas were introduced in the primitive era before people had the benefit of modern science.
Science attempts to objectively discover how life works, and religion makes one believe blindly and cast his burden on the blind belief without verification, to live in peace and harmony in worldly life.
The Seeker's main aim is to investigate both dual and nondual experiences to find and define the underlying truth in everything, thereby realizing what the ultimate truth is. Religion has propagated diverse ideas of God. There is no universality in a religious God.
Seekers of truth are neither believers of religious propagated belief of God nor atheists to declare that there is no God. The seekers of truth will not accept the belief blindly without verification.
Religionists and atheists both are believers because religionists believe in God based on blind belief, and atheists believe in the belief of no God.
The pursuit of truth is all about accepting uncertainty and open questions and seeking the things that are a certainty. Believers and nonbelievers will not accept anything other than their inherited belief system or accepted truth.
Atheists feel there is no proof of God’s existence. So, an atheist chooses to believe there is no such thing as God. And religionists just believe in the existence of their conceptual God.
A Gnani is fully aware of the fact that the existence or non-existence of God cannot be proven on the base of the physical Self. Therefore, deeper understanding and realization are necessary to understand and assimilate the truth about God's existence to know what is supposed to be God in truth. : : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
