The ultimate truth alone is God in truth, not
that which people believe and worship in this illusory world.
The seeker's main goal in
this life is to realize God in truth. It is time to rediscover the real God
hidden by the religion.
The pursuit of truth is for
discovering the truth of our true existence. The universe in which we exist
hides the truth.
By discovering the truth of
the universe we will be able to discover that the Self is not the ‘I’
but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate
truth or Brahman or God n truth.
The truth-realization is
Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization. God- realization itself is real
worship.
It is for every seeker who is
seeking truth must first know what God is supposed to be in actuality according to
Vedas and Upanishads and reject all non-Vedic Gods to realize the Soul, which
is present in the form of consciousness is the real God.
Yajur Veda – chapter- 32:
~ God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or
material shape. He cannot be seen directly by anyone. He pervades all beings
and all directions. Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.
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)
Rig Veda 1/164/46: ~ “They
call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, or the heavenly sunbird Garutmat. The seers
call in many ways that which is One; they speak of Agni, Yama, Matarishvan.
Rig Veda 8/58/2: ~ Only
One is the Fire, enkindled in numerous ways; only One is the Sun, pervading
this whole universe; only One is the Dawn, illuminating all things. In very
truth, the One has become the whole world.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~
Brahman (God in truth) is in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma
itself’.
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. (Gita 14.27)
When Bhagavad Gita says, that 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.
Vedas, Upanishad, and
Bhagavad Gita confirm that God is the Soul, the Self, and is present in the form
of the Spirit or consciousness.
The real God is stolen by
ignorance and people worship ignorance as God because the religion propagates
false God as real God.
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 (God in truth), 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 (God in truth), 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 (God), 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(God in truth), and not that which
people here worship.
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.
God is hidden by the ‘I’.
The ‘I’ is the dualistic illusion. You are part and parcel of the dualistic
illusion. The Soul is the cause of the dualistic illusion but itself is
uncaused.
The dualistic illusion is present in the form of form, time, and
space. The form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe. The
universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep
(nonduality).
Your existence is limited to
the illusory form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are made of the
same clay. That clay is the Soul, which is present in the form of
consciousness. Knowledge of the single clay is Self–knowledge or Brahma Gnana
or Atma Gnana.
Self–knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana helps the seeker
to unfold the truth (God) hidden by the ‘I’. 'I' is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
You have to draw your
attention back every time it turns worldliness (I) and fix it in the Soul the
Brahman or God in truth.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ “The
masses in India cry to sixty million Gods and still die like dogs. Where are
these Gods? (In San Francisco, on May 28, 1900, of swami Vivekananda/volume 1).
Religion breeds superstition
because religion is based on blind belief. Whatever is based on 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.
The Bible says: ~ “God
is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him 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.
Swami Vivekananda: ~ “If
superstition enters, the brain is gone. Superstition is our great enemy, but
bigotry is worse.
Thus, it refers to a formless and attributeless God, which is the Atman (Soul), the Self within the false experience. It indicates clearly all the Gods with form
and attributes are mere imaginations based on the false self. Thus Atman or
Soul, the Self is God in truth.
The Vedas do not talk about
idol worship. In fact, till about 2000 years ago followers of Vedism never
worshiped idols. Idol worship was started by the followers of Buddhism and Jains.
There is logic to idol worship. Vedas speak of one God that is the supreme Self i.e. Atman or Soul but Hinduism indulges in worshiping 60 million
Gods.
It indicates clearly all the
Gods with form and attributes are mere imaginations based on the false self.
So, it clearly indicates
that God is formless thus there is no scope for form-based God. The religion
and its conceptual Gods, and its theories of karma, heaven, hell, papa, punya,
rebirth, and reincarnation are based on the false self, within the false
experience. Therefore, they are meant for lower mindsets, they are of no use
for those who are seeking higher truth as indicated in the scriptures.
There are many schools of
thought in Hinduism. These schools claim that they are based on Vedas. These
schools of thought propagate non-Vedic beliefs barred by Vedas. All these add-ons must be discarded from the original Vedic Religion, to get the
pure Vedic essence.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says: "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: ~ “All
those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many
Gods. (7- Verse -20)
One need not roam one
mountain to another, one ashram to another, or meet Gurus or Yogis to realize God in truth. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Athma Gnana is the
knowledge of God in truth.
Blind faith is an obstacle
to realizing the truth hidden by ignorance. The seeker should not waste his
time on, he should primarily reflect on the Soul, the Self; not on
the ‘I’.
It is not possible to get
God-realization by taking sanyasa or wearing religious robes or identifying
with the religious symbol.
Religious robes and religious
symbols are not the means to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. :
