People are sentimentally and emotionally sticking up to their religion, religious god, religious rituals, and religious code of conduct and physical Gurus will not be able to transcend from dualistic illusion to nondualistic reality.
The number of religious believers is more, but the number of seekers of truth is much less. The religious believer seeks the pleasure of his own devotion, while the seeker's only aim is to realize the truth of true existence.
Religious believers accepted their belief as the ultimate reality. A seeker of truth finds his path independently. Many can become seekers, but only a few can become Gnanis.
To realize God means to become one with God. Without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality how can you become one with God?
One must realize God in truth. People think there are different ways to realize God but it is not so the only way to realize God is through Advaitic wisdom.
People try to see God through yogic samadhi meditation. And this process of yogic samadhi meditation does not help the seeker to get rid of ignorance. Ignorance hides God.
The seeker has to rip open the veil of ignorance through Advaitic wisdom then only the god hidden by the ignorance will be revealed.
There are many paths and practices all over the world. Many are trying to gain bliss through extraneous means of sex and drugs.
Different people try to see God through different means, and naturally, they get different experiences without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality what is the use of seeing and experiencing God. These are different kinds of hallucinations.
Many self-styled fake gurus dupe people promise enlightenment, although such enlightenment is nothing but hallucinations.
People flock around them to have some experience also, and thus they have their own group of followers indulge in the propaganda of the power of their guru.
Even One in a million, through religion, yoga, and meditation does know God what God is supposed to be in truth.
People all over the world quarrel in the name of religion, the religious ideas of their God, and their holy books.
Religions are like bare bones that have no marrow in them because religions are built on a foundation of blind belief.
Remember:~
Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom will one day replace all the religions of the
world because Advaitic wisdom is the knowledge of God in truth.
Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom brings universal brotherhood and unity
in diversity. Until Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is propagated effectively
many generations will suffer and violence, wars, and terrorism, which is going
on in the name of religion and religious God.
In Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom is the power that can bring world peace and universal brotherhood.
All religions survive on myths. The rationalists would be on the more solid ground if they attacked myths of all religions.

Religion is a prison of ignorance. People who follow it are locked up in ignorance. God in truth is not what people believe and worship. The belief or faith-based is not God in truth.
Religious Gods are Mythical Gods based on blind belief. Whatever is based on Blind belief or faith is a myth. Whatever is based on myth is merely a superstition.
Mythological stories are a myth. Whatever is based on myth is merely a superstition.
Mythology was introduced in the past for the ignorant masses. It has to be discarded as one progresses in his spiritual advancement.
Mythology breeds superstition, blind belief, senseless rituals, and most irrational and gives them a divine outlook.
Religious Gods are not God in truth. One must know God in truth. All the Puranas are based on the false idea of a personal God because the writers have thought of God as a glorified man and woman.
The translations made till now of Indian philosophical works have represented religion and mythology, not philosophy.
The greatest pundits do not understand it, for they do not understand science. What has this mythological teaching done for India? Look at its state today. Look at the conversions. Imagining that God has ashes on his forehead or blazing like the sun-- that is all poetry and depends only on faith.
All the Siddhantas are dualistic, and unphilosophical introduced by the founders of the different sects of Hinduism,
The religious Saints culled some paras from the Upanishads with convenient vagueness to establish their God and Theology.
Indians are more religious than other people in the world. The six systems of Indian Philosophy are really six systems of Indian speculation. For there is only one Truth.
The ancient Hindu tenet borrowed by theosophists of the universe appearing and dissolving, days and nights of Brahma, entering into pralaya, etc. is intended for mediocre intellects who cannot rise to the truth. It is a convenient fable representing the philosophic truth that the whole universe dissolves in your mind in deep sleep, thus entering pralaya, and rises again the next morning, i.e. it is all imagination, idea. The religious Brahma- God has nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately, every religion is attacking the other considering them to be a myth. The only way out is to unfold the mystery of existence.
Many path theories and practices confuse one about which path and practice to use because each one claims to get the truth.

Many path theories and practices confuse one about which path and practice to use because each one claims to get the truth.
Everyone tries this and still one is unable to unfold the
mystery. The mystery of existence becomes a distant dream.
Religious truth is individual truth and it is not universal truth because religion is based on individual truth. Spiritual truth is the universal truth.
There is no scope for individuality in the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman. In the realm of ultimate truth or Brahman the form, time, and space are one in essence. The essence is invisible consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal and all else is merely an illusion.
The scriptures give many advice and remedies, each claiming to be infallible. It is high time for them to shift their attention from all the theories and practices that are based on the physical ‘Self’ and indulge in self-analysis and discover the facts of their own existence.
Yoga Vasistha:~ "Teachers, interpretations of sacred texts, the force of religious merit--none of these lead to the realization of that Ultimate Truth which is revealed in the clear reflection of the heart, engendered from contact with the good."
The only way to unfold the mystery of existence is a deeper Self-search to help the seeker of the truth to discover and realize the true facts of his true existence through deeper self-search without the help of religion, glorifying Gods, scriptural studies, or yogic practice.
When the seeker realizes the facts of his true existence then realizes that the Self is not ‘I’ but the ‘I’ is the mind, which is present in the form of the universe.
The waking experience is a dualistic illusion. Thus, the seeker realizes that whatever he believed and experienced as a reality on the base of the ‘I’ is an illusion.

The Self is the Soul, the
witness of the ‘I’. Thus, it is necessary to seek the truth.
When the seeker inquiries into the nature of the mind, which is present in the form of the universe, then he realizes that ‘I’ is the mind. And the mind itself is the universe.
Truth-realization is a gradual process. The seeker progresses gradually. The first requirement is strong aspiration which gives rise to the inquiry and reason.
Know what God is supposed to be in truth according to the scriptures.
Religious Gods are based on blind beliefs. Gods based on blind belief is not God in truth.
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.
Religious Gods are based on blind beliefs. Religious God cannot be considered as the center because the Soul the ‘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 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)
No mantras help to get rid of ignorance. All the mantras and rituals are meant for the ignorant populace, which strongly believes, in 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).” 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 Supreme Brahman is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other besides it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described, because description implies a distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It. In Brahman, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constitutes the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman, and not just Its attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.
When the seeker inquiries into the nature of the mind, which is present in the form of the universe, then he realizes that ‘I’ is the mind. And the mind itself is the universe.

Advaita is the nature of the Soul, the Self. Advaita is the Soul itself. Advaita is the Soul, which is God in truth. Advaita is another word for God in truth. Advaita is second to none. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
