Sage Sankara said: ~ Talk as much philosophy as you like, worship as many Gods as you please, observe ceremonies and sing devotional hymns, but the liberation will never come, even after a hundred aeons, without realizing the Oneness.
No religious God can exist apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
All the religious Gods with form and attributes ceases to exist without the dualistic illusion. Thus, their existence is limited to the dualistic illusion.
People are not aware of the fact that, there is no individual God can exist, apart from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul is the Self. If there is no Soul, then there is no physical body, no ego, no world in which you exist, no religion and no religious Gods.
People think that there must be a creator of this universe. If one think the Self is ‘I’ then there is a creator, but if one thinks the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, then there is nothing exists other than consciousness.
If one objectifies and sees a universe, then he is bound to see many things besides himself and postulate a God, the creator.
You, your body and the world in which you exist rise and set together from, and into, the Soul or consciousness.
If God is apart from the Soul, the ‘Self’, then God would be selfless, that is, outside existence, that is, non-existent.
No one has seen God creating the world. No one can claim that it was the first Knower of the first created things. How was that first ‘known’ substance generated?
There got to be, at the very beginning of the creation, someone or other who was the very first knower of the creation. There cannot be something ‘known’ in the absence of a ‘knower.’
If at all we said that there was a ‘Seen’ or ‘known’ substance produced at the beginning of creation, you may legitimately question us about its origin. But that has never been our argument.
We are consistent in our assertion that there has been no legitimate cause behind anything ‘seen’ at the beginning of creation or even later on at any time. Hence, there is not a thing ‘seen.’ Because there has been not a thing seen, consciousness is forever without bondage. Consciousness cannot be captured in words.
How did the “I” originate?
How did the world” originate?
How does one know that he exists in this world?
There was no cause for the universe, even at the very start. So nothing ever is really born. The entire universe is only an illusion. The universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.
What exists is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness only. Consciousness cannot be expressed in words because it is the existence itself. It is eternal, self-effulgent and unblemished.
The illusion has no value. The universe is the illusory nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Mentally reduce the universe into consciousness by realizing the universe is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.
There is no reason behind the illusion! From the ultimate standpoint, there is no illusion at all! Everything is nothing but consciousness.
You are still going to an attempt to establish a sequence of cause-effect relationships. There has to be a touchstone which can establish the correctness or otherwise of the sequence of causes and effects. If we examine based on that yardstick, the causes will evaporate.
For example, a doubt is a cause for a question. The cause for the doubt is ignorance. If we can get rid of ignorance, there is no scope for a doubt and the later questions.
So go on finding answers to your doubts on your own. When all the questions are resolved, you will automatically land in and be at ease as consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
