Religion is a prison of ignorance. People who follow religion locked up in ignorance. God in truth is not people believe and worship. Gods based on blind belief or blind faith are not God in truth.
Religion belongs to the world of feeling emotions. That is why people like it. Religion changes as it appeals to different feelings and emotions. On one pole, the nude saint is admired; at the other, the gorgeously dressed Godmen is revered.
There is no use of quarreling with anyone in the matters of the religion. There is no need to convince people, let them hold any belief, any imagination they like in that realm. In religion, the question of truth does not arise, only the question of what they believe.
The craving for religion, the fear that not to follow its rites and dogmas will bring punishment, the inability to give up the notion of its truth even when your reason demonstrates its fallacies and absurdities are merely forms of mild obsessions, i.e. a thought constantly repeating itself’ automatically; hence it is a mental disease.
Unless you give up the ideas of heaven and hell, it is impossible to realize the Advaitic truth which is beyond the form, time, and space. The ultimate Truth must be realized here and now, in this very life. Without realizing the ultimate truth, it is not possible to consider the existence of heaven and hell as untrue.
Remember:~
Sage Sankara says that Brahma and Atman are one. The ultimate and the Absolute Truth is the Self, which is one, though appearing as many different individuals. The individual has no reality. Only the Self is real; the rest, mental and physical, are but passing appearances. Genuine spirituality must be independent of religion
Sage Sankara the Saguna Brahman or a personal God belongs to religion. Religion belongs to the illusory world, and the Nirguna Brahman is the only reality and has nothing to do with religion.
Lord Krishna tells Arjuna: - that knowledge of both matter and Spirit is True knowledge. (Gita, Chap. XII)
In Advaita Vedanta: - Brahman is without attributes and strictly impersonal. It can be best described as the infinite Being, infinite Consciousness, and infinite Bliss. It is pure knowledge itself, similar to a source of infinite radiance. Since the Advaitins regard Brahman to be the Ultimate Truth, in comparison to Brahman, every other thing, including the material world, its distinctness, the individuality of the living creatures, and even Ishvara (the Supreme Lord) itself are untrue. Brahman is the effulgent cause of everything that exists and can possibly exist. Since it is beyond human comprehension, it is without any attributes, for assigning attributes to it would be distorting the true nature of Brahman. Advaitins believe in the existence of both Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman; however, they consider Nirguna Brahman to be the absolute supreme truth.
All the attributed Knowledge belongs to the domain of form, time, and space. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self’ the form, time, and space are an illusory reality.:
The realization of Brahman or God is possible in this very life, not in the next life or next world.
The serious and sincere seeker who has patience, humility, and intense urge to know the truth, which is beyond the form, time and space, will be able to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
One, who has realized the ultimate truth or Brahman, is a Gnani. A Gnani sees himself along with the world in which he exists as consciousness.
All Gurus and paramparas belong to the orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is nothing to do with Sage Sankara’s Advaitic wisdom.
Identifying the Atman as Self is the most important in the Atmic path. Consciousness is the substratum on which the universe, which is the dualistic illusion, experienced. Consciousness is hidden by the dualistic illusion. Consciousness who dwells in everything and everywhere in the universe, which is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
The Atman is the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness. The universe is the dualistic illusion or Maya is created out of consciousness. Consciousness alone is real and eternal.
The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. The Soul is in the form of consciousness. The Soul is the Self -evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Soul because it is the very essence of the one who denies it.
The Soul is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness (Spirit), is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Brahman is God in truth. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
