Gods with names and forms are not God in truth. You must realize God in truth.+

God has no name there is the use of repeating the nameless God with forms and names, which is not God in truth.  The forms and names belong to form, time and space. 

Form, time and space belong to the dualistic illusion.  The dualistic illusion hides the Soul, which is the real God. Thus, it is necessary to realize ‘what God is supposed to be in actuality.

Religion breeds superstition because religion is based on blind belief. Whatever is based on the blind belief is superstition.

God in truth is not a belief. One must know God in truth. Without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality worshipping God based on blind belief is superstition.

Worshipping superstitious Gods barred by Vedas. Know what God is supposed to be according to the Vedas Upanishads Bhagavad Gita and the Bible.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~  God 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.

The 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 Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is in 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)

The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion created out of the ‘Self’ which is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.   

Whatever you have seen, known, believed, and experienced is within the dualistic illusion.   Thus, your existence is bound to an illusion created out of consciousness, which is real and eternal.

Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, which is born out of consciousness is consciousness. Like gold is a permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the mind, which is in the form of the universe is born out of consciousness, is consciousness in its essence.

The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad declares: "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10)

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

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.

God in truth has no name because God is the invisible  Soul, the Self. The Soul is a formless, timeless spaceless existence.

There is the use of repeating the name of God which keeps one permanently in a state of ignorance.

Gods with names and forms are not Gods in truth.  You must realize God in truth.

Only when ignorance vanishes and the truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space, will be revealed.

Remember:~

The sickness of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine. Ignorance does not vanish by merely repeating the name of God, which is not God in actuality.  God must be realized.

Until you allow this apparent universe to transcend from your consciousness until you have realized the truth, which is hidden by form, time, and space, how can you find God just by repeating the name of God, which is not God in actuality?

Until you realize the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness you will never be able to cross the domain of the dualistic illusion.  You cannot become a Gnani by repeating the name of individual God repeating ‘OM’ or repeating the ‘I’ as propagated by some Gurus.

A buried treasure is not uncovered by merely repeating mantras. Without a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’,   the truth will not be revealed.

You must remove all the obstacles, which is blocking your realization. The truth of the Soul, the only God, which is buried under the dualistic illusion, comes only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

If you are desirous to realize the truth, which is hidden by the dualistic illusion then mentally, burn your accumulated knowledge by realizing the ‘Self’ is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
