Advaita is the universal truth. Advaita is the universal God. All dualistic
Gods of belief belong to the dualistic illusion. Realize God right now and
right here ~ means right in this very life, not in the next birth or next world.
You may be a Hindu, you may be a
Christian, you may be a Buddhist, you may be a Muslim, you may be a Jew.
Remember, the ‘Self’ is not
you but the Soul, which is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness. \
The Soul, the ‘Self’ is neither a Hindu nor a Christian,
nor a Buddhist, nor a Muslim because it is a formless timeless, and spaceless
existence.
Remember the Soul; the Spirit is
God in truth. Religious Gods are based on the belief of mythical Gods. Belief is not God. Religious God
cannot be considered as the center because the Soul, the innermost ‘Self’ is
the center of all that exists.
Without the Soul, the world in which you exist
ceases to exist, which 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.
Even the 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 God other than consciousness.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter:~ 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 Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is in the form of
the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Religious Gods are based on blind belief.
Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul and the
innermost ‘Self’ is the center of all that exists. Without the Soul, the world
in which you exist ceases to exist, which means the religious God is dependent on
the Soul for his existence.
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)
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad:~ "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)
Remember:~
No mantras help to get rid of
ignorance. All the mantras and rituals are meant for the ignorant populace,
which strongly believes that the world in which he exists as a reality. For one who
wants to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, the mantas will
not help to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.
That is why Sage Sankara:~ VC-61- For one who has been bitten
by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of
what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and
medicines to such a one?
VC- v6~ Let erudite scholars quote
all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate
rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the
realization of one‘s identity with the Self, there shall be no liberation for
the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together.
Sage Sankara goes on to say: ~A sickness
of not cured by saying the word “medicine.” You must take the medicine.
Liberation does not come by merely saying the word “Brahman (God in truth).” Brahman
must be realized. Until you allow this apparent universe to dissolve from your
consciousness until you have realized Brahman, how can you find liberation just
by saying the word Brahman? The result is merely noise. Until a man has
destroyed his enemies and taken possession of the splendor and wealth of the
kingdom, he cannot become a king by simply saying “I am a king.”
A buried treasure is not
uncovered by merely uttering the words: “Come forth.” You must follow the right
directions, dig, remove the stones and earth from above it, and then make it
your own. In the same way, the pure truth of the Atman, which is buried under
Maya and the effects of Maya can be reached by meditation, contemplation, and
other spiritual disciplines but never by subtle arguments.
Sage Sankara’s wisdom reveals: ~ Atman is
the only 'ONE' ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Advaita means the Soul, the Self, which is second to none. The Soul, which
is present in the form of the Spirit or consciousness, is the ultimate truth or
Brahman or God in truth. Advaita is the nondual nature of God in truth. Advaita is God in truth. Advaita is the fullness
of consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
