Vedas, Upanishad and Bible confirm the Soul, the Self, is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness.+

Religious Gods are not universal. Every religion has its own idea of God. God in truth is a spiritual God.  

Spiritual God is the Spirit. The Spirit is the universal God. Spirit is Vedic God. The Vedic God is the Spirit, the Advaita. Advaita is the universal God. 

Religious Gods are based on blind belief. The Belief is not God. Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul, the ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists.  

Without the Soul the world in which you exist cases to exist, it means the religious God is dependent on the Soul for his existence. God in truth is only the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. 

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit.

Vedas, Upanishad, and the Bible confirm that God is the Soul, the Self, and is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness. 

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) 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) 

The Bible says: ~ God is a Spirit, and they that worship God must worship God in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)

The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the innermost Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.

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

There is a clear-cut idea of God in the Vedas, Upanishad, and Bhagavad Gita. And also there is a clear-cut idea of what not to worship as God in place of real God. 

That is why Sage  Sankara said:~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many gods as you please, observe ceremonies, and sing devotional hymns, but liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.  

The 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).  

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.

Lord Krishna says Ch ~V: ~ “Those who know the Self e in truth.". The last two words (tattvataha) are usually ignored by pundits, but they make all the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth about God.

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the innermost ‘Self’. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists. 

Lord Krishna confesses that the oldest wisdom of India (Advaita wisdom) has been lost: people misinterpret and falsify it today as they did then. It is not yoga but the philosophic truth. But nobody knows it. The teachers of philosophy and leaders of mysticism or religion do not want to inquire into truth and have no time for it. (Gita ~ Chap ~IV~ v.2) 

There are different grades of mindsets, which is unable to grasp God in truth. The Advaitic wisdom demands sharpness to grasp the truth which is beyond form, time, and space. 

Just sitting mindless and imagining you are seeing God keeps you in the prison of the dualistic illusion. 

Realize the Soul, the innermost is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness itself, is God in truth. 

Consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist. Consciousness itself is uncaused.

Thus, the truth-realization itself is God-realization because the ultimate truth is Brahman or God. Self-realization is God-realization and God-realization is real worship. 

Nothing has to be accepted as God other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Atman is Brahman means the Soul alone is God. Atman is the  Advaitic God. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
