Religions are the cause of wars, violence, terrorism and all the unrest of the world.  What is the use of indulging in wars, violence, terrorism in the name of protecting religion and the religious idea of God?

God is not a Hindu, or Christian. God is not a Jew or a Muslim or Buddhist. All of those Gods in human form are imaginary meant for ignorant populace, which is not capable of grasping   God in truth hidden by the ignorance (I). 

Advaitic path is not for the religious minded people. Advaitic path is pure spirituality. Advaitic path is to help the seeker to unfold the mystery of God. 

Anyone who follows Advaita knows that that Advaita is not religion.  Advaita is not philosophy. Advaita is pure spirituality. Advaitic wisdom unfolds the God hidden by the universe because Advaita itself is God. 

Advaita is the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of the Spirit (consciousness). The Soul is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. So Advaita is the nondual nature of the Soul, the Self, which is God in truth. Advaita is universal. Advaita is nothing to do with caste, sect and creed. 

Religion is nothing but human-made concoction of many religious founders to promote the personal views of some while condemning the views of others. 

A Gnani does not belong to any religion. A Gnani has realized the God hidden by the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is ignorance. The ‘I’ is the dualistic illusion. The ‘I’ hides God in truth because ‘I’ is nothing but an illusion created out of Consciousness, which is God in truth/ 

The seeker must remember the religion is not Spirituality. Spirituality is knowledge of the Spirit, the real God. The seeker must know the difference between religious God and spiritual God.  

Yajur Veda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions. 

Yajurveda: ~ There is no image of God in truth. God in truth is unborn and eternal. (Chapter 32, Verse 3) 

Yajurveda: ~ God in truth is nondual and pure.

Yajurveda: ~ "They are entering darkness, those who worship the natural things (like air, water, fire, etc.), they are sinking more in darkness who worship created things." (Chapter 40, Verse 9)

Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas. 

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

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)

Do not accept any other God other than Athma. The Athma is God in truth, Nothing is real but the Athma, 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, is real and eternal, and all else is an illusion.

Vedas say: never accept another God in place of the Atman, nor worship other than the Atman.  Thus, to know   God in truth, Self-realization is necessary. Self-realization is God realization. Self-realization is real worship.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth, or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth.

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

People, who worship the belief of God, are hallucinating that they become one with such Go

How can you worship the God? That implies two ~ the worshiper and the worshiped, whereas the God is nondual. One can worship his idea of the God only or realize his unity with it when he can’t worship it as apart.

When Upanishads and Vedas declare that, “God is the form of the Athma, and God is indeed Athma itself” then why to accept another God in place of the Atman or worship other than the Atman.

God in truth is the Supreme Being the One eternal homogeneous essence, indivisible consciousness and intelligence, which is beyond the form, time, and space. To which the Sages describe in a variety of ways through diverse words.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ ‘All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship many Gods. (7- Verse -20)

Only the path of wisdom leads the seeker of truth on his journey to the ultimate realization of the true nature of the Universal Essence, which is the Soul. The Soul is present in the form of   consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita: 7: 19:~ "Such a man who has attained true knowledge, the knowledge of Self, the knowledge of Atman, worships ‘Self’ as~ Atman (God in truth) alone exists~ everything is Atman, there exists nothing except Atman. Such a man is extremely rare."

Bhagavad Gita: ~ 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.

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. 

The dualistic worship of "God” is only for the ignorant populace. The God in truth is only Atman, the   Self. In reality, there is no duality, no differentiation. Only Atman exists.

It is high time for the Humanity to discard the religion and accept the Spirituality for the universal peace and universal brotherhood. :~   Santthosh Kumaar
