Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Nothing matters but realizing God in truth. God in truth, is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
God in truth, is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone, is real and eternal, and all else is an illusion.
Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.
People are not aware of the fact that there is no individual God exists, apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
Vedas says never accept another God in place of the Atman, nor worship other than the Atman.
People indulge in prayers asking God ‘God give me this, give me that, and save me.' What they are seeking in prayer is not God, what they are seeking, is security and happiness. Ultimately what they want with prayer is their wellbeing, not the truth; they are unwilling to admit it.
Ordinarily, one thinks prayer is a means to reach God, but what does he know about God? If we are truthful, he must admit he has no direct experience of God; he is coming from a particular belief system.
The danger in using prayer to reach a God, he has no direct experience of, can be illusionary. Thoughts and prayer can open a person but at the same time, they can create hallucinations.
Ignorance will never vanish by discussing philosophy, studying the scriptures, indulging in rituals, prayers, and worship, or glorifying Gurus or religious Gods.
The inborn conditioning becomes deep-rooted by indulging in the rituals, glorifying Gurus and Gods.
It is better to know what God is supposed to be in actuality according to Vedas.
If God you worship and pray is not a Vedic God then all such belief of non-Vedic Gods has to be discarded without mercy.
From the Vedic perspective, all your religious Gods are non-Vedic Gods based on the imagination.
Religious Gods are merely beliefs. Belief is not God. Religious God cannot be considered as a cause of the universe because, the Soul, the ‘Self’ is the cause of the universe.
Without the Soul, the Self, 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 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 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)
That is why Sage Sankara:~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.” 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.”
Sage Sankara says:~ 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.
The Atmic path is not for religious and yogic-minded people. Religious and yogic people must move on to their chosen path. The Atmic path is for only seekers of truth who are seriously searching the truth of their own existence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
