Satsanga has to be based on the truth, not on myth.+

What is the use of hearing the sermons in the name of the Satsanga of mythical Gods as real Gods, when the real God is Atman? Satsanga has to be based on the truth, not on myth.

Real Satsanga is realizing the truth, the truth of truth's true existence. Satsanga is not hearing the mythological stories of mythical Gods.

Neither by listening to the sermons of the preachers nor by the study of scriptures, neither by meritorious deeds nor by any other means can one acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is attainable only through association with the Gnanis and the clear quest for the ultimate truth

The mythical Gods were introduced in the past for the ignorant populace. From on Vedic perspective, they have no value. Veda bars worshipping of such non-Vedic god.

Those who want Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana have to stick to the truth and discard all that is the untruth.

All the mythical Gods are non-Vedic Gods. God in truth is Athma, the Vedic God. The Vedic God is Advaita, the one without the second.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter: ~ “All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many gods. (7- Verse -20)

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ 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).

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 God other than consciousness.

Even in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

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)

Sage Sankara declared: ~ “Atman is Brahman. ~ The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman, or God is the Vedic truth, the rational truth, the scientific truth, and the ultimate truth.

The world is unreal; everything is truly Brahman (consciousness), and nothing else has any value.

Thus, the Advaitic orthodoxy has nothing to do with the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Lecture consisting of a shower of ornamental words, the skill in expounding the accumulated bookish knowledge, and likewise erudition - these merely bring on a little personal enjoyment to the scholar, but it is not Gnana or the Advaitic wisdom.

The accumulated scriptural and bookish knowledge is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest truth has already been known. Hence, men of wisdom should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.

To get rid of ignorance, the only remedy is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. There is no need to study the scriptures to get rid of ignorance. The scriptures themselves declare this valuable truth.

Without direct realization, one cannot be liberated from experiencing the duality as reality. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
