Sage Sankara proved
the existence of God by declaring ~ Atman is the only one ultimate reality or
Brahman or God in truth
The proof of God’s existence is not
possible without knowing what God is supposed to be in actuality. God is existence
itself.
Sage Sankara not only
proved the existence of God from the Vedic perspective but also proved the
existence of God rationally.
Sage Sankara himself had
often said that his philosophy was based on Shruti, or revealed scripture. This may be because, Sage Sankara addressed
the ordinary man, who finds security in the idea of causality and thus, in the idea of God—and Revelation is indispensable to prove the latter. He believed
that those of superior intelligence, have no need for this idea of divine causality,
and can, therefore, dispense with Shruti and arrive at the truth of Non-Dualism
by pure reason.
When Sage Sankara says Brahman or God is impersonal and attributeless then why worship God with form, names, and attributes.
God and Goddess are religious concepts.
Whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as a person within the dualistic
illusion (world) is a falsehood.
Sage Sri, Sankara’s Supreme
Brahman (God in truth) 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. Awareness constitutes the
very essence or the true nature of Brahman, and not just its attributes.
The attributeless Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.
When Sage Sankara says Atman
is Brahman or God then why believe and accept anything as God other than
the Atman.
Vedas say May ye never turn away from the Atman the innermost self.
May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than
the Atman?
~ Then, why worship non-Vedic
Gods in place of Atman, the real God.
Self-realization is the truth- realization.
Truth- realization is God-realization and God-realization is real 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. One
must realize the difference between the ordinary concept of God and the truth
about God.
Religious Gods are based on blind belief.
Religious God cannot be considered as the 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.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Do not accept any other God other than the Soul. The Soul is God in truth. Nothing is real but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
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.
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)
Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman
(God in truth) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
Sage Sankara is the only
Sage who proved the existence of God by declaring ~ that Atman is the only one
ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
Atman is Brahman. Atman is the Self is non-dual because there is no second thing that exists other than
the Atman. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness
is the only true reality, and everything else, which appears as form, time, and
space is merely an illusion.
Advaita means the Soul, the Self, which is second to none. The Soul is present in the form of the
Spirit or consciousness, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. Advaita
is the nondual nature of God in truth. Advaita itself is God in truth. Advaita is the
fullness of consciousness.
The Soul, the Self itself is Brahman or
God in truth. God in truth is present in the form of consciousness. God in truth is ever-present.
Without consciousnesses, which is God in truth, the world, in which you exist,
ceases to exist. God in truth is self-evident. God in truth is not established by extraneous
proofs. It is not possible to deny God in truth because it is the very
essence of the one who denies it. God in truth is the basis of all kinds of
knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. God in truth is everything. God in truth is present in the form of consciousness and is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
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, 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.
The Soul, the Self is God in truth. God in truth is present in the
form of consciousness, which is real and eternal. The world in which we exist is
an illusion created out of consciousness.
God in truth is hidden by physical
existence. God in truth can never be proved, through intellectual argument but God in truth can be realized by getting rid of ignorance. Only by acquiring Self-knowledge
or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana, does ignorance vanish.: ~Santthosh
