To talk of seeking God is as meaningless as saying "seeking dog". It is only a hollow word. one must know God in truth.+



The yogi or mystic who sees or experiences God in his meditation which he takes as the ultimate but “how does he know it was the God?” That was only his inference. Can he say he knows God unless he is one with him? Mystics glibly say, "I know God," because I have seen him, and I had a conversation with him. Such claims are merely a hallucination.

The mystic who speaks of knowing, seeing, exiting a second being~ God, betrays thereby, that he is of limited intelligence; unable to grasp the Advaitic truth.

The seeker's attitude is: "If there is God ~ he has to prove it. If there is heaven ~ he has to prove it." Religious so-called philosophy dogmatically assumes the existence of the physicalized Gods.

How does the mystic know, that God who tells about himself in meditation is truthful! He may be hallucinating! His statements cannot be taken as truth. Supposing a mystic has a vision, which experience is true, but he must prove that it is what it purports to be because such vision is possible within the domain of the duality. 

From the nondualistic perspective, the duality is merely an illusion. Thus, whatever is seen known believed, and experienced within the domain of duality is merely an illusion

If one says God is light, others may also say it is light within. Again the light may take different colors. Then which color is correct? Others contend that God is sound and say they hear the OM sound inside in meditation, still others say God is the fragrant smell and that beautiful scent comes in meditation as the presence of God. 

All these differences of opinion, can be endless and show mutual contradiction and general error, i.e. lack of certain truth.

If one sees a light he is seeing the second thing. Seeing the second thing is possible only in the domain of duality. In reality, no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

God is the Spirit. All individual Gods belong to the domain of the illusory duality. Thus, all religious Gods are nothing, but imagination, based on the false ‘Self’, within the false experience (waking)

There is nothing so absurd that people have not worshipped in religion and also sacrificial forms of worship so cruel they have not been indulged in. And every imaginable face has been given to God by artists. 

The seeker of truth should not start with the idea of God.  The seeker does not know whether there is God or not. There is no proof.  The seeker needs proof of God's existence.

 There is need no doubt that people saw Shiva, Jesus, etc. That they saw visions may be an undeniable fact. But the question is “Was what they saw the Truth?" They no doubt had such vision but they never stopped to inquire if their visions were true.

After years of effort glorifying Christ when Christian closes his eyes and Christ comes to him.
After years of effort glorifying Krishna when a Hindu closes his eyes and Krishna comes to him.
After years of effort glorifying Buddha when a Buddhist closes his eyes and Buddha comes to him.
After years of effort glorifying  Mahavira when a Jain closes his eyes and Mahavira comes to him.
Christ doesn’t come as a Hindu; Mahavira doesn’t come as a Christian. Buddha doesn’t come to a Jain: only the image projected in the subconscious will come. The image became almost solid. It became so real from constant repetition, from continuous remembering, that it seemed the projected deity was standing in from of him. No one was standing there.
Wherever is projected is merely an illusion created out of the consciousness. Any experience is possible only within the domain of form, time, and space. 
Whatever belongs to the form, time and space is merely an illusion.  The illusion is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is the consciousness. The knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
In reality, consciousness alone exists without the division of form, time, and space. There is no second here, no other. From the standpoint of the Soul, the form, time, and space are merely an illusion. 
 The seeker has to take all the facts, and then proceed to examine and analyze, how far is it true?”

To talk of seeking God is as meaningless as saying "seeking dog". It is only a hollow word. One must know God in truth. 

Dualist Gurus say: ~   God cannot exist without attributes. Then they are making God as an object whereas God is the subject. Attributes can only be seen in the objective world. Causality appears in the duality, but when one goes deeper into the matter even there the causality disappears.

Who else but the ‘Self’ could have imagined the objective world? Ramanuja and Madva see God as the imaginer, but where is the proof. Nobody has seen God creating. You have seen no other creator, whether God or angel. The only ‘Self’ is left. Therefore ‘Self’ is the creator because imagining means creating. The Dvaita and Religionists talk nonsense. Has God meaning to you? Yes. It is an idea. What is an idea?  The idea is an imagination. So God has no proved existence beyond that of an idea.

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)
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 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 Vedas confirm God is Atman (Spirit), the Self.

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 Vedas talk about Brahman (God in truth) which refers to the ultimate truth or ultimate reality. Consciousness is the ultimate truth, therefore, consciousness is Brahman or God in truth.

Vedas do not permit idol worship. All the idols are of the Puranic Gods Priests are referring to the Puranic Brahma as God they are ignorant of the God in Vedas even though they speak of Vedas. 

Priests do not understand the meaning of the Brahman, which is present in the form of consciousness.  

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the Self.   In reality,  there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman the real exists.  : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
